The Mojave Desert Modular Experiment: Dillon Bastan

Published on Jul 22, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"In the Mojave Desert Modular Experiment, we worked with local artists to create modular systems suited to their own styles and workflows...despite the fact that none of them had ever used modular synths before. Each artist/group had two weeks to get to know their system and prepare a performance.

Dillon Bastan normally works with Max and Ableton Live, so although he hadn't used eurorack synthesizers he was familiar with modular signal routing from the Max software environment. Dillons system was based around a Mutable Instruments Marbles for sequencing drums from an Intellijel Plonk and synth sounds from Instruo's CS-L complex oscillator.

Come by our showroom to try out these systems for yourself, and keep an eye out for more results from the experiment each Monday this month! Read more about Dillon's system and get links to his music here: https://www.perfectcircuit.com/signal..."

"A look at the different characters of these 2 lovely synths.

They've got completely different functionality, but if you're wondering which is best for you maybe this will help.

"Selling my EDP WASP on Reverb and I made a short demo to show that it works."

via this auction

Pic of the inside below.

"EDP WASP in very good physical condition. Just one very small 5 mm crack in upper left corner (see image), perfect in all other aspects with a clean battery compartment and non worn keyboard sticker.

The internal speaker is faulty and produces a high pitch sound. This stops once "line out" is plugged in. So this is just the speaker, not the synth. (see YT video)

MIDI by Elby Designs in Australia. Works perfect.

Recently serviced. All potentiometers desoldered, opened and cleaned. Which means absolutely no cracks or jumps. All pots work perfect, again, see video."

Multivox Computer Basic System Music Sequencer MX-8100 SN 538663

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

via this auction

"You don't see these every day. The Multivox MX 8100 is an incredibly rare note entry step sequencer. It is similar to the Roland CSQ series but incorporates the keyboard within the unit. The coolest feature of this guy is that it can control both a Roland standard cv/gate and a Korg standard hz/v and s-trig independently and simultaneously. This unit is in fair cosmetic condition. The keys have yellowed and have aged with uneven coloring. The unit also appears fully functional.

This unit will allow you to record tracks using the built in keyboard and play them back on external CV Gate synthesizers. To be clear, this is not a synth and does not produce its own sounds. It is a sequencer. Nonetheless, this is a very interesting, very rate museum piece perfect for a collector."
