"This auction is for an original EMS Vocoder 2000. Very rare unit! Very creative and musical tool. The previous owner told me he got it from the Electric Light Orchestra (Mr.Blue Sky) but I don't have proof of this. They are known to have used this model. Many other top artists used the Vocoder 2000. It has a very complete feature set with some nice tricks. It just had a new meter backlight bulb... Everyhting is ok."

Update via VoiceEncoder in the comments: "The EMS Vocoder 2000 is the vocoder used for the voices of the Cylon Centurions in both the original 'Battlestar Galactica' and 'Galactica 1980' TV-series!!"

The AN1x is degraded to keyboard+sequencer. It just sends MIDI events to the MIDI-to-CV converter which feeds the control voltage inputs of the Minimoog.

The Technology Behind Percussa's Audio Cubes

via Percussa where you'll find the full post including pics.

"If you think the AudioCubes are just a collection of glowing lamps you can put on your night desk,…then you definitely need to read the paragraph below :-)

You are right that the AudioCubes have LEDs inside, but there is far more technology inside every AudioCube than you might think.

An AudioCube has four onboard infrared sensors (one on each face) to communicate and measure distances to objects nearby, digital signal processors (DSP), a USB-rechargeable battery, and a translucent housing.

PCB AudioCubes - ready to be built into the housingAs you can see on the picture we didn’t use an Arduino nor standard off-the-shelf sensors. We’ve developed our own custom wireless sensor and communication systems for AudioCubes from the ground up, using infrared technology..."

MeeBlip & Coffee... MeeBlip Gets "Key Buy" Award

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. via this auction
Reflex Audio
"The MeeBlip SE is the latest version of our wildly popular digital monosynth. This auction is for a fully assembled factory demo unit in excellent condition (used in-house to shoot videos, so we can't sell it as new). It includes the latest firmware and 9V DC power supply (USA/Canada).

MeeBlip SE received Keyboard Magazine's coveted Key Buy Award in the May 2012 issue. Reviewer Francis Preve wrote, "it’s the features you won’t find elsewhere that give this synth some serious digital cred: stuff like switchable anti-aliasing, digital distortion mode, and oscillator FM. Because of those features, the MeeBlip is capable of binary grime that dubstep and IDM producers will absolutely love." (Read the entire review on the Keyboard Magazine site).

For those of you who like gory technical details:

Virtual analog monosynth running on an Atmega32A microcontroller at 16 MHz
16 user-programmable patch memories
MIDI CC control of all patch parameters
Switchable waveform anti-aliasing (turn it off for added bass grunge)
New variable pulse width / PWM waveform
Dual digital oscillators with filter, LFO, ADSR envelope, FM (Frequency Modulation) and distortion
2-pole resonant low pass filter in software (with high-pass mode)
DDS (“Direct Digital Synthesizer“) oscillator waveforms (sawtooth / variable pulse / noise / triangle / PWM) at 39 kHz sample rate
Dual 8-bit weighted DAC audio output (approximates a 16-bit parallel DAC)
8 potentiometers for continuous input (bank shift function allows two parameters per pot)
16 software-defined parameter switches
4-pole active lowpass anti-aliasing filter
Opto-isolated MIDI input
9VDC power supply included"

Update: CDM who makes the MeeBlip with Reflex Audio has a new and pretty extensive post up on the Meeblip with audio demos.

Lost weekend (Roland Juno60 demo) - Berlin school style

Lost weekend (Roland Juno60 demo) - Berlin school style by OctopusEmpire

"How I lost my weekend..
Picked up a bargain Roland Juno60 from a local school which was lying dusty and forgotten in a cupboard. I've been unable to leave it alone since I picked it up yesterday, I think this could be the start of a very long and happy relationship where many more weekends disappear.

Just a roughish Berlin school jam, 22 tracks of Juno. Absolutely everything you hear is from the Juno including all drums, percussion and FX. No midi on the Juno60, everything is hand played except the numerous arpeggios which are synced to Logic Pro using an audio out on my MOTU audio interface routing a kick drum to the sync in on the Juno.

Enjoy :)

GlitchLoops from Sunsine Audio for GlitchBreaks

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
YouTube Published on Jun 28, 2012 by sunsineaudio

"Around the late 40s the atom was split... We discovered that everything was forever changed, when we discovered the word could be cut up, that sound could be cut up. That everything having to do with culture could be cut up and reassembled in ways that didn't exist before. That will be seen as the most radical, important thing that happened this century" - Genesis P Orridge, Modulations

GlitchBreaks from Alex Matheu is a powerful iOS loop manipulation tool. Anyone who has seen, heard or played with it can vouch for its quality and flexibility. It puts buffer override, scrubbing, beat-juggling, and pitch and time stretching all within the palm of your hand, cheaply. We got so excited about this App we contacted GlitchBreaks about partnering, and the fruit of that can be seen in the 20 new free factory loops we provided for version 1.03.

We are pleased to premiere our first loop-pack intended for use with GlitchBreaks. Containing 49 high quality abstract 1 bar loops, this pack is designed for the glitchhead who can't get enough. Already glitchy in their nature these loops will send you spinning off into microcosms of uncontrolled electronic pleasure when paired with GlitchBreaks. Prepare to travel down the rabbit hole, and bring your headlamp because the journey will get dark, dirty and shocking!

All loops are provided in 16-bit as well as high quality 24-bit files, for use in any desktop DAW and numerous other iOS apps.

Format:

49 16-bit/44.1 khz Wav files
49 24-bit/48 khz Wav files
All files tagged with BPM (tempo) and initials.
Installation Instructions for GlitchBreaks included.

Price: $2.99
