"Pictured here is the front (component side) and back tracks side of a transistor ladder filter that I built some time back- found in my protoype graveyard! I'm going to fire it up again in the next couple of days. All built from parts that date between 1965 and 1969!"
"The Gold IC there is a cramic housing containing a Fairchild LM108D Op amp- the rest, apart from the CA3080 (Can) are 1960's transistors and Dual Transistors in metal cans!"
John Bowen Solaris Review & Audio Demos
It may sound presumptuous: the John Bowen Solaris is in some ways the epitome of synthesizer design since the 70s. Let’s see … there are various oscillators to choose from: Minimoog, CEM, Microwave, Prophet-VS, Wav (samples). Or consider the filters: Moog, Oberheim, SSM, multimode filter, comb filter, vocal filter … The modules are a journey through synthesizer history. Sure, it’s all purely digital, but the sound quality is excellent. Impressive."Find the full review and audio demos on Great Synthesizers here.

Vermona Modular qMI - Midi/CV Interface
Noisebug (RSS)
"Manufacturer Description:
Vermona´s second Eurorack module is a very flexible yet affordable MIDI/CV interface which can be up to four voice polyphonic. You can use it as four independent interfaces or in a mixed mode with simultaneous monophonic and polyphonic modes.
Details
Each of the "output channels" has a CV output with 1V/octave, a gate output and two further control voltage outputs for MIDI controllers like modulation wheel and pitch bend wheel. The output channels can be combined arbitrarily with each other or used totally independent with different MIDI channels. Combined output channels can be unisono, monophonic with rotating voice assignation or polyphonic.
There are four clock divider outputs that convert incoming MIDI clock signals as analog gate voltages. A reset output allows e.g for keeping step sequencers (with an according reset input) by MIDI start/stop commands in sync.
An important part of the concept is the simple use of all parameters without a display and complicated menu structures.
pitch-CV: 1V/octave
Gate voltages: 10V
CV1, CV2: 0-5V (or -2,5V..+2,5V with pitch bend)
legato function switchable per output channel
clock outputs (10V): 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 and 1/8T (can be doubled)
RESET output: 10V at MIDI STOP, 0V at MIDI START or CONTINUE
Inputs and Outputs
MIDI input
outputs per channel 1-4: Gate, 1V/Okt, CV1, CV1
clock depending outputs: reset, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/8T
Measures and Weight

Roland VariOS Variphrase Rack Synthesizer & Sampler
With original box.
"VariOS is an open-ended hardware/software system that allows musicians to build audio-based tracks with the same flexibility as MIDI. All processing is handled by the VariOS module, which is controlled using downloadable software. The first software bundle is V-Producer for VariOS. This software lets musicians manipulate a sample's pitch, time and formant, add effects and even build complete arrangements while keeping the music flowing and without CPU drain. And since the VariOS module can be updated, the system can take on entirely new functions in the future...- Open-ended realtime audio construction system consisting of VariOS module and new V-Producer for VariOS software
- Play back up to 14 phrases simultaneously with 6-part multitimbral operation
- Award-winning VariPhrase technology for intuitive realtime manipulation of pitch, time and formant-control audio phrases like MIDI!
- Batch load/auto-encode .WAV/AIFF audio files from computer via USB and browser
- Internal memory holds up to 300 seconds of mono samples (150 seconds in stereo)
- Easy drag-and-drop sample arrangement-build a complete song in minutes!
- PhraseScope window provides free-form editing of a phrase's melody content
- GrooveScope window allows non-destructive reconstruction of rhythm loops
- Graphic editing of VariOS module's 40 multi-effects, 8 chorus types and 9 reverbs
- V-Producer for VariOS supports MIDI clock/MTC sync and audio/SMF export
- Flash memory and PC Card sample storage for using VariOS module without computer
- Future-ready with Open System Architecture, supporting V-Producer, various vintage synthesizer emulations, and whatever the future holds"AKAI MPC 2500 LIMITED ED #358 OF 500
A little trivia: the style of knobs goes all the way back to the original Akai S612 sampler. Different in color, but the same in style.

ELECTRONIC MUSIC WORKS EMW WCS-1 SYNTHESIZER
"The Electronic Music Works WCS-1 is a MIDI synthesizer module that utilizes a digital oscillator followed by all discrete analog circuits to produce unusual and heavy sounds. The exclusive wave addition resource together with a dual input powerful VCF and a lightning fast VCA ensures its powerful sound generation capabilities, being an ideal tool for electronic music production.
WCS-1 is a hibrid monophonic synthesizer that uses a digital oscillator to create the waveforms and all analog discrete circuits for the VCF, ADSR, VCA and LFO.
Its MIDI implementation allows it to be adjusted to receive signals between channels 1 through 15. Keynotes action follows the Last Note Priority system and it also has a buffer for the last 5 pressed notes.
The VCF allows the oscillator’s waves to be directed to two independent BPF (Band Pass Filter) or LPF (Low Pass Filter), resulting in a wider timbral range.
One LFO with two waveshapes can be used to modulate the cut frequency or VCF’s CUT OFF.
WCS-1's VCA uses high speed circuits to produce very fast and high impact attack time."

Again one Dixie VCO is going into the uFold, however this time two Dixie waves (sine and tri) go into a uFade VC cross fader before going to the uFold. Modulation of the uFold, uFade and various uVCA modules provided by two Makenoise MATHS, Expert Sleepers Silent Way ES3 and a TipTop Z8000. most of the mod sources go into the A138m matrix mixer which is routing to the modules CV ins. This is two takes, first take uses the Dr Octature filter as the end of the signal chain to smooth off the waveform a bit. Both takes use different FX that are being sent via a VC aux send made out of a uVCA and controlled by the Z8000 into a MATHS (creating a complex EG)."

"Custom modular style SK-1 by Diabolical Devices features:
24 point circuit bending patch bay with 4 patchable toggle switches and 2 patchable momentary buttons. Patch bay uses 1/8" connectors and cables are included.
Three stage square wave generator with LFO. This can be used as a stand alone synth, be patched into bending points, or played into sample input of SK-1 and transposed to keys, circuit-bent, and resampled..... Has 1/4" and 1/8" audio outputs for square waves
Master pitch control (SK) this affects the pitch of all keyboard sounds, samples and drums. This can be completely bypassed via toggle switch.MIDI input with midi channel selector

"Hexagon Eye is a circuit bent Yamaha PSS-270. Chorus speed, depth, and morphback controls have been fitted. Morphback adjusts the chorus feedback and changes the timbre of the chorus signal simultaneously. An overdrive control is also provided. The sustwist control emphasizes the decay tails of sounds and brings out higher harmonics. An octave drop switch pitches notes down. The randomize switch produces new timbres when active during a patch change. When in use, the keys will play shifting sounds. All controls are fitted into a side cart to allow plenty of room and easy identification for live use.
