"This is a great controller for voltage controlled synthesizers and modules.

Two ribbon and pressure controllers, switched attenuators, gate OR combiners, 4x 1/8" to banana converts, passive finger touch-point patchbay mixer(!).


I'm not the original owner, and it seems like it was someone's learn to solder project. I've gone and cleaned up the PCB, rewired the ribbon and pressure sensors, and did a general once over. It used to have two LEDs on the underside, which never worked, I've removed them (seems like they were not meant to work -- the voltage they're getting is way too high).

Runs on a +12v DC, 500mA power supply, included with purchase.

specs:
Analog expander / controller designed to fit Ciat Lonbarde instruments. Also can be useful for all Banana modulars.
(2) pressure ribbons with range/offset control (>7v to 0v for position, 0v to >7v for pressure)
(1) 5 => 2 OR combiner
(4) CV knobs (switchable to banana input attenuator)
(5) 2 way switches (2) avdog splitters (16) touch points inputs (4) 1/8 to banana (1) ground all 3-way switches so you can turn off the signal slim profile satin finished stainless steel faceplate acrylic box size : 530 * 165 * 23.6 (not including screw head and knob) (mm)"

E950 Proto - First Test

"Racked up the E950 Bent VCO Knobcon proto. This is a prototype and the final version looks to be even more awesome! Having a blast with a minimal patch - only using the E950, the Kilpatrick Pattern Generator, and an E350 (as an LFO) and a Dixie II in LFO mode as well. Output is through a Strymon BigSky and a Moog MF104SD."

Buchla 200e and Roland 909

Published on Oct 18, 2015 DJjondent

"This is a raw and unedited version of a new track , just done yesterday.
The Roland 909 drum is the master clock.. providing all the timing for the buchla via a 225e. We were amazed just how tight the timing was.
I reckon that the Buchla 250e is one of the greatest sequencers ever. There are so many layers to this thing.

Paul is working on a remastered track which I'll upload soon I hope."

Minimoog Model D vs Voyager

"This is just a comparison between the Minimoog Model D and the Voyager's different waveforms.
I realize after making this that one can't really compare one synth's saw to another's square."

SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS Prophet 5 Rev 2 SN 0244

The Rev 2 has SSM filters.

"This listing is for a Vintage SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS Prophet 5 Rev 2 Analog Synthesizer Keyboard.
Serial #1000 - 0244
Rev 2 w/ Cassette Mod (See HERE for explanation)
Uses the better sounding SSM Chips"

"In 1980 the Prophet 5 Rev 3.0 came out. The Rev 3.0 had a cassette interface on board. The Rev 2 did not have this feature. Therefore Sequential thought it was interesting to bring out a cassette interface mod for the Rev 2. And so they did. The cassette interface modification for the Rev 2 existed only as a retrofit and was never a standard feature on a Rev 2. An official revision 2.1 (or even a 2.2) never existed in contradiction to what some sources may say.

Two small grey buttons are visible on the Rev 2 models (panel far left and top centre). These were 'Preset' controls to enable instant editing of mod and filter sections for the selected patch; they also doubled as cassette interface load and save controls. They are left out from on a Rev 3."

Korg Polysix PU-6 Programmable Analog Synthesizer SN 382618 with Green KORG Case

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This unit is in outstanding condition for its age. It's had low usage which is evident from how clean it is. There are almost no significant marks on this one besides some slight deterioration on the wooden ends.

Not only is this unit very clean but it has just returned from an a complete overhaul from one of the most reputable vintage synth stores in Tokyo.

An enormous amount of work was carried out which included changing the battery, replacing and servicing all voice chips. Complete tuning and scaling. Cleaning of all sliders and switches. Professional cleaning of the main board and other circuitry.

The initial bill after all the work was completed came to almost $850 USD but fortunately I managed to negotiate the price down from there. I only mention this to show that this unit should provide a trouble free experience for the buyer for some time."
