TLN-156 Neural Agonizer

"The TLN-156 Neural Agonizer is a voltage controlled spring reverb processor. Although this module can be used to simulate room reverb with most audio signals, it includes numerous enhancements specifically designed for interfacing to a modular synthesizer. If you're looking for a smooth, natural sounding reverb system to make your synthesizer sound like its being played in the Concertgebouw, then go buy a Lexicon. This is not your grandmother's reverb tank, this is a noxious tool capable of inflicting some serious damage to your audio.

The TLN-156 features: an amplifier for controlling the input signal level, two reverb tanks that can be driven in series or parallel, separate recovery amplifiers and resonators for each reverb tank, a feedback amplifier with lowpass filter, and a deformation processor for combining the reverb tank outputs. Most parameters are voltage controllable and several patch points are available for adding additional signal processing. All inputs and outputs handle 10 Vpp audio signals and 5 volt control voltage signals (modular standard).

Total current draw for TLN-156 is 70 mA @+15V and 70 mA @-15V." [link]

Signal Arts TETRA MAPS

"Maximum versatility meets real-time control... with the turn of a knob!

With over a dozen new features added to MAPS core design, expect to use a sequencer that is more robust, versatile, flexible, intuitive and user-friendly than any other comparable sequencer. Which other sequencer allows you infinite virtual tracks, modulations or multiple, REAL-TIME versions of one sequence? Which other step sequencer allows polyphony with only one sequence?

* 24 Banks
* of 8 Sequences
* of 8 Steps
* of 7 Parameters
* And Multiple Virtual Sequences
* Per-Step Note, Pitch, Velocity, Controller
* Per-Step Duration and Note Duration
* Per-Step Glide/Slew Rate
* A Full-Featured Three Channel Polyphonic MIDI to CV Converter

Also:
TETRA MAPS
* 4 Channel Control Voltage Output
* In a new compact table-top / rack-mountable format
* More sequences and feature addition memory

Additional Features
Revision 3 software will Include
* More sequence banks with larger sequences

BTW, it looks like Neil is on another run, so be sure to check back on his flickr set now and then, as I will not be putting every single one up.
