The first MIDI sequencer from Roland, Yamaha and Korg | How different they are!

video upload by

"Roland with the MSQ-700 from 1983/1984, Yamaha with the mothership QX1 from 1984 and Korg with the SQD-1 from 1985.

They are very different in both design, functionality and power, but they were the first MIDI sequencer these three companies did."

Circuit Bent Casiotone MT-540

video upload by NOISEBUG

"This circuit bent Casiotone MT-540 will take you to new worlds of creativity and bit crushing madness. Smash some patch cables into the jacks on the front panel and see where it takes you!

This unit has a tempo control function that bypasses the internal tempo, allowing you to slow things down much further than this unit was intended. The 1/4" outputs on the back of the unit are normal to the speakers, allowing you to cut the speaker volume off and use the 1/4" outputs for audio processing."

Fripper Tripper (Frippertronics with synths: DSI/Sequential Pro 2, Lyra-8, Boss RE-20, DD-20)

video upload by thesrabbit

"For Black Friday, I bought myself Boss DD-20 and RE-20 delay pedals specifically for exploring Frippertronics. They showed up yesterday and I promptly recorded my first jam. It starts with a simple 2 oscillator drone from the modular running through a spring reverb tank (1 Eowave Titan and 1 Roland 512 VCO) The melodies consist of different patches that I've made on the Pro 2, which is another recent purchase. A little further along I introduce the Lyra-8 into the mix, because anything experimental should probably include the Lyra. Unfortunately I didn't have its output level up high enough, and you can't really hear it in the repeats, which is a shame. Other than not getting output levels matched ahead of time, I'm pretty pleased with the result. The modular, Pro 2, and Lyra are also running through the Audiothingies Doctor A in parallel, which is set to a long ping pong delay and a very long modulated plate reverb. To add some tape warble, I fed an attenuated LFO from the Roland 540 module into the RE-20's expression pedal input, which adjusts the "twist" parameter. Everything runs through the DD-20 first, which has a delay time of 7.1 seconds and is set to the "modulated" delay type, then from there it runs into the RE-20. I wonder what it would sound like if the signal chain was reversed. I bet one could pull off mellotron strings vibes pretty easily with this setup."

You can find demos of the 4ms BEND MATRIX in previous posts here.

"Banana and 1/4" version of this rare and weird cross point switcher, matrix, sequencer. Great condition and works flawlessly. Used this with CL and VTOL gear and as a bridge to a Moog modular. My system is shrinking and this goes unused. Includes manual and a 5V power supply. I used it with a 9V (center neg) supply, but those always disappeared from the studio.

Electroserf Vacuum Tube Synthesizer Modules

video upload by epeasant

"Introduction to The Electronic Peasant's Electroserf synthesizer modules, based on Russian 1J24b vacuum tubes from the cold war days. These subminiature pentode tubes were used in the early MiG jet fighter radios, at a time when the western world had already changed over to solid state electronics.

These tubes are long obsolete, but available in the surplus market. Their small size, low voltage requirements, and low power heaters make them suitable for synthesizer use, while their low power output, gain and directly-heated cathodes bring their own design challenges."
