World's First HP Scanjet 4C Keytar + Instructions on How to Build a Musical Stepper Motor in 60 sec
Published on Jul 31, 2016 bd59
"You may of heard of a popular flat bed scanner by the name of HP Scanjet. This scanner had a hidden command set within the Scanner Control Language which allows you to send musical notes directly to the stepper motor. This is a tedious method where you have to enter the notes and durations manually into a text file (similar to G-Code on a CNC Machine). I have always used and will always use this method for my Old School music videos however I wanted to try and build a MIDI controlled stepper motor. One day I had one of my HP Scanjets sitting on its side and for some reason it resembled a Roland SH-101 and that's when I came up with the idea for the HP Scanjet Keytar. What a great way to merge both into a musical instrument. My one of a kind HP Scanjet Keytar consist of an Arduino Nano, Stepper Motor Shield and an optocoupler. Most of my Arduino code was readily available on the Arduino website and is free to download at GitHub. Near the end of my video I will show you how to build a MIDI controlled stepper motor in 40 seconds. I believe that maybe a world record :)
Finally, everything you need to build your own musical MIDI controlled stepper motor. (no electronics background required)
Download the Arduino Code at Github
https://github.com/squirtifier/HP-Sca...
please make sure you place all the files in a directory called HPScanJetMIDI before compiling
Don't for get to install the arduino_midi_library-dev.zip (just search the internet for this file name"
Slide Pots for Moog MG-1, Opus 3, Rogue and More
via LA Synth Co
"FINALLY! Replacement sliders for your Moog are once again available! We got sick of having to clean the old ones, so we had new ones made. Available as sets with switches, or as singles.
Compatible with Moog MG-1, Rogue, Opus 3, Liberation, Polymoog and others.
Same size and spec as the original, the shaft is just a hair shorter, but fits original slider caps perfectly. The switches have a black grip at the top (see photos) but are 100% compatible.
MG-1 and Rogue Sets currently available, Other sets upon request.
Rotary pots, dual pots, knobs and caps NOT included."

Behringer DeepMind12 Desktop Synth Mockups
This spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child.
"I like to present you with some of our desktop/rack-mount designs for the DeepMind12 our designers we have come up with. The unit is designed to accommodate for desktop and rack-mount usage.
Just to be clear, we have not yet decided to progress with this design and hence your opinion is important to us.
Thanks for your feedback.

"Now the run down. This was bought from a man who kept it in a case for 15 years. He never used it. I bought it with crackly pots on 2 of them and the keyboard was kind of too clacky. These keyboards always are and it still is but it has been fixed to normal operating clack condition. Meaning the Pro One already has somewhat of a clacky keyboard. This is my second Pro One so I can tell you this is the case. My tech who is a professional and Hollywood's top synth tech who's been working on synths since the 70's fixed it all up. Actually not much had to be done other than those two mentions. It is in top mint condition I would rate is 100 functioning perfect and body condition I would rate a 9.9. If you're looking for mint this is it. Very very small wear mark almost not even visible at all, I am being super super picky and a very small wear mark on the rear. Both are not even anything. Not even kidding.
I have been using it with a Kention CV to Midi Pro Solo II box and it has work flawlessly. Kenton not included."

Roland SH-09 Vintage Analog Synthesizer

"The SH-09 (or Synthesizer-09) is a single VCO monophonic analog synthesizer with a 2 1/2 octave, 32-note (F-C) keyboard. The VCO is switchable between 5 octaves: 2', 4', 8', 16', 32'. Available waveforms are sawtooth, square, pulse (with pulse width modulation), or white noise. There is also a sub-oscillator switchable between a square wave one octave down, a square wave two octaves down, and a pulse wave three octaves down. It is possible select the noise source at your oscillator and still have the sub-oscillator as a waveform. The VCF is self oscillating and can be modulated by the envelope follower which is wired to the external input. The envelope generator is an ADSR (attack decay sustain release) with a slider for each stage. On the control panel to the left of the keyboard is a horizontal pitch-bend/modulation lever, with pressure up and down controlling modulation amount. There are also two sliders controlling amount of modulation routed to the VCO and VCF, as well as a slider adjusting portamento amount and the main power switch. On the back panel there is a main output, and the CV/gate inputs and outputs."

"Great working condition vintage Korg Sigma KP-30 from 1979... that's a 37 year old vintage synthesizer and only 1000 units were ever made. This is when Korg was still repping the Keio Electronic Labratory Corp. and made all their synths in Japan. Very high quality build has been near maintenance free for the last 20 years with just a professional deoxit tune-up every other year or so."
