Sweet Dreams
Another shot of the cardboard Wiard Woggle Bug sent my way via Ross."Just made a cardboard cut out of the Wiard Woggle bug, I cant afford one at the moment so the cardboard version lets me focus on the prize. :-)"
Hmm... I suddenly have the urge to make modular wallpaper.
Quasimidi Rave-o-lution 309
Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.You can find a video of one here.
Some details:
"This is a really dynamic and now quite rare piece of kit! Could be Germany's answer to both of Roland's 303 modules. It has the 909 classic kit sounds and fat realistically analogue sounding bass and synth parameters. you can tweak them in a variety of ways with reverb, delay, chorus, flanger and also eq. A user friendly MIDI sequencer, so you can build songs from scratch and store them or use it as a MIDI controller."
Interesting that it had reverb back then.
EML 200
Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.Details:
"A very old-school semi-modular synthesizer expander module designed as an expander to complement the EML 100 and EML 101. It's monophonic with dual oscillators for a fatter tone. Truly an old school instrument which is as old as 1969! It's not too pretty (they can be found in either blue or silver) but nicely designed and laid out. There are 31 knobs and over 60 patch points! With a little patching, even people new to analog synths will be able to start getting sounds out of the 200. Some additional features include two ring modulators and a spring reverb.
Note however that the EML 200 was designed as an Expander module to interface directly with other EML synthesizers. Today, you can use it with analog synths other than EML with the properly modified CV/Gate connections and converters (its oscillators are a non-standard 1.20v/oct)."
Roland SH-2
Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.Details:
"The SH-2 is one of Rolands' early synthesizers. It is very simple in design, look and function. It sounds much like the SH-101 synth, including the typical SH-style sub-oscillator. But the SH-2 employed 2 oscillators for a much fatter sound. It has the typical Roland SH sound - it's a monophonic bass synth that's flexible enough to provoke punchy analog basses, leads and squelchy sounds. The oscillators can be de-tuned as well, another feature the popular SH-101 lacks. But it isn't very pretty to look at as it shares the same design and layout as the SH09. Still it makes a simple and easily programmable mono-synth that can be used in place of the more common SH-101. However the SH-2 is harder to find and so it usually has a higher price than other SH-type synthesizers from Roland."
Maestro W-2 Woodwind Instrument
No title link, just the two shots and details pulled via this auction.Details:
"1970’s Maestro Sounds for woodwinds multi-effects box. I have had this for a long time now, and it makes some really crazy sounds. It emulates different woodwind sounds which you can trigger by voice,guitar…whatever and also has a fuzz distortion built into it." Schematics included with this one.
