via this auction

"Recently serviced, with new power supply, replaced memory battery and filter capacitors, and more. There is a mod switch on the back which allows switching to an alternate sound set, but I don't think it's working correctly, so I just keep the switch in the normal mode. As common to these units, the sliders can be a bit stiff to move, but they work fine. There several other cosmetic blemishes, which do not affect performance.... please review all the photos. Only about 500 of these units were ever made."

Xtal (Aphex Twin Cover) - Played with the Nord Drum 3P

video upload by Jannis Le Wolff

"👾 In this video I'm playing Xtal by Aphex Twin with Nord Drum 3P sounds only. I've always loved this song, also for its particular sound design, and this is my little take on it.

The whole arrangement is controlled via Ableton Live, using the KMI Softstep 2 and Novation Launchpad Mini as midi controllers."

Complex oscillator comparison - Cosmotronic vs. Hexinverter

video upload by John Schussler

"Unlike the Verbos and Sputnik complex oscillators I looked at last time [posted here], which are fairly straightforward, the Cosmotronic and Hexinverter complex oscillators are...definitely more complex.

They both add phase modulation to the wavefolder, and include more elaborate modulation buss control. Plus more intermodulation capabilities.

They're set up sufficiently differently that a direct feature-by-feature comparison would be hard to do in a sensible way. Or in under 3 hours. So this is really a long, meandering, very skip-around-able video to sample both flavors.

And when you're done, go listen to the Verbos and Sputnik. It's an interesting comparison.
