Jaèdéd-Your Cold Face
Published on Dec 14, 2016 Jae Ryan
"I've got company in my studio and decided to get out the old 4 track cassette deck until the holidays pass. Here is a recording I did using only the DSI/Tom Oberheim OB-6 triggered by an original Roland Tr-606! It's been inspiring, as terrible as it sounds and I think I will continue to make some more minimal recordings in this style. I need a break from computers......"
Jones O'Tool Plus
The Jones O'Tool Plus, aka O'Tool +, apparently was released back in June according to the Jones website. I'm not sure how many were initially released, but I'm seeing announcements from various dealers that they are now in stock. If you are interested in picking one up, see the dealers on the right of the site for availability and pricing. Check out the cool screens on the O'Tool + below.
"The new and improved Jones O'Tool Plus oscilloscope and audio tools eurorack module from Dave Jones Design was in development for almost two years. It was finally released in June 2016.
A greatly improved version of the original O'Tool module, with temperature stable readings, extreme accuracy, added modes, upgradability, and more.
Single channel oscilloscope
Dual channel oscilloscope
3D oscilloscope
X/Y display
Level meter
VU meter
Peak meter
Voltmeter (with p-p and average DC)
Frequency meter
Tuner (guitar tuner style)
Linear spectrum analyzer
Log spectrum analyzer
Spectrogram
BPM meter
Metromome
It includes user configurable settings and can remember settings at power up for three users. That means you can have different settings for home, studio, and performances, or any three different sets of settings.
It is temperature stable and extremely accurate. It can monitor two signals, with inputs looped through to other modules. The scope modes include an external trigger option.
It is firmware upgradable. It has a jumper for internal or external 5 volt source. It has an expansion connector for possible future add-on modules."

Pre-Production Model Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 6 Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer SN B0007

"This synthesizer has been lovingly cared for in a smoke-free studio, which it has not left. It is fully functional and every button and knob operates as new. It has been updated to the newest available Prophet 6 operating system, which boasts features like the Oberheim phaser and ring modulator effects found on the OB-6 (see pictures).
If you're a collector, this model is quite rare. It is a pre-production model, which is why its note value settings are visually different. Because this was created before the production factory presets were finished, the factory preset ROM region of the sound bank is empty. But the user section is currently filled with the factory presets, and can be used to store or download new sounds.
The Prophet 6 comes in original Prophet 6 packaging that will be protected with further layers of cardboard."

Rare Custom Commodore C64 SID Synthesizer

"in excellent condition, made from a vintage Commodore 64 case that will have minor wear due to its age.
**This is a rare custom designed synth made from a Commodore 64 case and that uses 2 SID 8580 chips.
its got a ton of power and features. killer synth for chip tune.
fast and hands-on with heaps of crazy features (3-way-polyphony, wavetables, triggers, special drum engine, bassline engine, etc).
The sound chips are the later SID 8580 (from the mid 80s original C64s), much better than the earlier 6581 ones the SID station uses. It can combine waveforms, like TRI+PULSE, SAW+PULSE, etc, the old ones couldn't do it. Gives it a much wider sound spectrum.
it has two independent SIDs, each with own MIDI channel and seperate audio outs, so one can do a bassline and the other can do skanks for instance while you can tweak both in realtime, with the knobs or MIDI controllers."

ARP 1601 CV/Gate Sequencer

"Everything works as it should. It should be noted, however, that the sliders are quite stiff/gunky and will need to be cleaned or replaced (they do function correctly though.) Also, the sliders in the step section are missing their respective caps (slider caps are easily sourced in light of Korg reproducing the Oddy)...
Here are some specs:
'This sequencer is packed full of features as is a must have piece to accompany an ARP 2600, TTSH, Eurorack or any other 1V/octave modular synths.
Some of the major features:
1x16 step sequencer or 2x8 step sequencers
3 gate outputs selectable per step
Selectable step or random sequencing
Internal or external clocking
2 built in quantizers
Transposable via quantizer CV Input
Foot switch start/stop control
Passive multiples'"
