"Monophonic, made in Japan. Serial #131712. Measures 20"x12"x10". See images for all features. This auction includes the keyboard, 8 short patch cables, and some literature I downloaded from the internet a few years ago with patch settings.

32 full size-keys, control wheel for modulation or pitch), and modulation button below control wheel.

Functionally excellent. Cosmetically very good with paint scratch on top surface. I bought it used in 2011, and have used it very little in my smoke-free studio. I tested all its functions this week in order to write an accurate description for this ad. Note that the control wheel requires included cable patching from Control Wheel out to VCO Frequency to function,

Fully tested. All functions work well. All knobs, buttons, sliders, etc. work smoothly. Keys are even and smooth. Manual is in very good condition. Images are of the actual auction item."

?*

::ABOUT
?* is almost the same as the Zachtekind & ?Kind.
A walkman with extension circuit that is powered by the walkman itself, controlling the Walkmans playback speed with buttons linked to the potmeters next to them. It is a simple device that makes it possible to playback tape in very slow speed and switch between selected speeds, intuitive and playful.
it is stereo. Has a build in radio (AM/FM, no extra controls over this radio are added).

::Audio/CV
- input cv in for playback speed control -5v to +10v (example: 0v = low pitch, 5v is high pitch, so it is in reverse from normal).
- amount of CV can be adjusted with a potmeter.
- output audio out from walkman.

::Controls:
- 5x pot for playback speed per push button momentary switch.
- 1x ON/OFF toggle switch for 1st playback speed pot switch override.

::Power:
- 2x AA battery, The range of the speed control pots is different when powered from a battery.

reVel2 - MaxforLive Device for Ableton Live by LDM Design


video upload by Isotonik Studios

"This colorful device is an updated version of the nice little velocity sequencer originally included in LDM Design’s popular Chance 10 pack. reVel expands the idea to include a unique duration based mode and expanded functionality such as individual randomization per step.

With Sequencer mode, you set a fixed sequence of values up to 32 steps long, and each note will take the velocity level of each proceeding step in the sequence.

Using this mode you can add randomization amounts per individual step to create more variation in the output. However, if your sequence of notes in Live’s piano roll, or live incoming midi, varies in the distribution of notes in any section of time, the sequence of velocity values will fall out of step with the notes coming through.

You may want this as a creative way to make differing patterns, yet you may also want a specific flow of velocity values in each section of time. This is where the Function mode comes in!

With the unique function mode, you can set the flow of values over a specific number of beats, and then however many notes come through in each section, it will retain the flow of velocity values over time. Now we can get a specific groove and let the notes flow freely.

In function mode we get a global randomization amount which will define a maximum amount of randomization for any note that comes through."

[ELZ_1 play] CUSTOM OSC - An experiment switching between two waveforms at arbitrary period


video upload by SONICWARE

"Today I experimented with SONICWARE's own sound engine, CUSTOM OSC.

The CUSTOM OSC engine can play sounds while switching between two different waveforms at arbitrary period.

For example, it is easy to "switch between a sine wave and a square wave every 1.5 cycles," and the unique "undulation" and "overtone" sound is interesting.

You can also adjust the DUTY of the waveform.

As is common with all ELZ_1 play engines, you can control the synth engine parameters with LFO and ENVELOPE.

In the case of CUSTOM OSC, you can experiment with a variety of sounds by modulating the switching cycle between two waveforms, waveform type, DUTY, PITCH, and more.

In today's experiment, I created a sound that would be suitable for nostalgic, chill music, chiptune, and dance music.

Depending on the settings, it may be suitable for various genres of music. Please take a look.

---------------
今日は二つの異なる波形を任意の周期ごとに切り替えて鳴らすことのできるSONICWARE独自のサウンドエンジン「CUSTOM OSC」の実験をしました。

例えば「正弦波と矩形波を1.5周期ごとに切り替える」といったことが簡単に出来て、独特の「うねり」や「倍音感」が面白いです。

また、波形のDUTYを調整することもできます。

ELZ_1 playのどのエンジンも共通なのですが、LFOやENVELOPEでシンセエンジンパラメータをコントロールできます。

CUSTOM OSCの場合、2つの波形の切り替え周期や波形タイプ、DUTY、PITCHなどをモジュレーションして多彩なサウンド実験ができます。

今日の実験では、ノスタルジックでチルな音楽や、チップチューン、ダンスミュージックなどに合いそうなサウンドができました。

設定によっては様々なジャンルの音楽に合いそうです。ぜひご覧になってください。

UNBOXING THE ELGAM CRAZY BAND 48


video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia

"We were super excited to receive this unicorn, vintage groove box - the machine that was the very last breath of the Elgam in 1982 - it was shipped out as the company folded.
The Elgam Crazy Band 48 was the follow up to the now sought-after Elgam Carousel and it shares some of its functions but not any of it's components, schematics or architecture.
The unit was well packed in a sturdy box but only emit a loud hiss and one single note on arrival.
Yep - this is often the reality of unboxing vintage gear.
This machine is now in the shop for repairs but it's a long journey to get it back up and running - if it ever will. The music in the background is from a similar device we demo:ed in an earlier video : the Godwin Drummaker 45."
