rv0 Sync Unit DC

"Sync Unit is the free solution for reliably syncing hardware instruments in software based music setups. It uses audio ports instead of the latency and jitter plagued midi system to provide you with the best possible synchronization.

By default it provides a normal 24 pulses-per-quarter-note din-sync signal for Roland instruments, but 12, 48 and 96 ppqn are also available for other applications. Apart from the sample accuracy, the signal can also be shuffled in many different ways, keeping you in control over the groove and feel of your patterns."

Pearl Syncussion SY-1

via this auction
"It has two channels and can be triggered by a synthesizer, drum machine or one of the two included pads.

There are sensitivity knobs at the rear to adjust for a strong or weak signal.

When used with the pads the sounds vary depending on how hard you hit the pad making it truly expressive and musical.

Also, because this is pure analogue, there is no processor lag (latency) so the sounds are heard instantly, essential for getting a good groove.

The SY-1 has 6 preset oscillator modes, and on each channel there are 8 sliders which control, tune, decay, width, sweep speed, sweep range, lfo speed, lfo range, and output.

There are also sliding switches to control "sweep up-off-down" and "lfo square wave-off-saw wave" and sample and hold.

Can use with or without drum heads, drum heads activate triggers which could also be activated by sequencers or triggered outs on a drum machine or electric drum kit."

Wiard Joystick Module

via this auction

"Wiard joystick controller module, compatible with Blacet and Paia Frac Rac / Fracrac series racks. Will work with any other standard modular synth equipment. I got great results with my ARP 2600. Works perfectly. No longer in production. 1/8" jacks. Gate and X and Y axis outputs. Includes standard Blacet power connector and 4 screws to mount in a rack."

Buchla Beat

YouTube via boobtube356 — April 05, 2010 — "Another 259e "demo." Actually the voice consists of the 259e oscillators combined in the 285e balanced modulator, then sent to the 292e dynamics manager, then to the 291e filter. All of the elements in this chain receive the same envelope modulation. I am altering the parameters on these modules during the video. The bass kick is the 261e sine with envelope modulation, the snare is 259e mem skew through the 291e filter, and the "hihat" is the 266e noise through the 281e filter. Similar to the last video, but a lot easier on the ears!"

Vektron modular

Vektron modular from Niklas Roy on Vimeo.

"A presentation of a modular, algorithmic synthesizer.
The device plays compositions which are stored on microcontroller modules. The modules in this presentation are based on the Atmega family and are programmed in GCC (Arduino) and Bascom. In general, the synthesizer can work with any other TTL Microcontroller as PIC, Propeller or even ones which don't exist yet, as the computation happens on the module and the Vektron itself only provides the peripherals."

Korg Sigma Modifications

"Sigma is an extremely interesting synthesizer. Essentially a preset monophonic synth, it offers many of the same features as other preset monosynths - a 3 octave keyboard with aftertouch sensitivity, a range of preset sounds (19 in Sigma's case) and various performance controls.

Unlike other preset monosynths, however, it does not feature a single VCO-VCF-VCA signal path with a diode matrix or diode and resistor matrix to select the preset sounds."

Nice synth wich is the same as the Siel EX-80.
You can open it up and screw around with the potmeters to make it sound more aggressive. In this case the resonance is adjusted by me.
Midicontroller used is a Kenton Spindocter but any midicontroller wil do. Sequenser is a Mam SQ16.
You hear only the Suzuki with a litlle delay.

mks 7 and MAM sequencer

YouTube via ikworgek — March 28, 2009 — "Roland MKS-7 Synth. This is a nice machine with a bassliner, drums (TR-707) and 2 synthlines (Juno-106) it has volumesliders for every part and individual outputs for every part.
It is velocitysensitive (the Juno-106 isn't)
unfortunately you cannot save youre sounds on the machine, but you can sysexdump your sounds in it. It has 100 presets for the synth and 20 presets for the bassliner. Also as shown in the video you can control it realtime with a sysexcontroller.
another backdraw for me is that it doesn't have portamento.
But i love the sounds!"

Casio CZ-1000 Phase Distortion Synthesizer - List of Preset Patches

via this auction

"Made in 1985, this is a Casio CZ-1000. It was Casio's answer to the Yamaha DX series synths. This is the full-sized 49-key version of a Casio CZ-101. It has the same phase distortion synthesis engine the CZ-101 does. This one's in better-than-average condition with only minimal wear. All of the keys and buttons work. The membranes over the switches are all intact. (This is unusual for a 25-year-old synth.) All 32 of the internal presets work. I'm including a CD-ROM disk that contains the manual and additional patches. The patches can be loaded into it from your computer via a MIDI cable. This is an excellent lead synth for dance or techno music.
Specifications

* Polyphony - 8 notes (8 oscillators)
* Oscillators - Digital Phase Distortion Synthesis (sine, saw, square, pulse, resonance, double-sine, saw-pulse)
* #Instruments - 4 part multitimbral
* DCW - 8-stage envelope generators with level and rate controls with Key Follow (Adjusts Phase Angle)
* DCA - 8-stage envelope generators with level and rate controls with Key Follow (Adjusts Volume)
* Keyboard - 49 keys
* Memory - 16 preset, 16 internal and 16 cartridge patches
* Control - YES (MIDI In, MIDI Out)
* Date Produced - 1985

Vintage Korg PolySix Analog Synthesizer w/MIDI

via this auction

"This Korg Polysix (Poly Six) comes from a smoke free studio environment, at Innermuze Studios of Metro-Detroit.

The Polysix (P6) for sale is in excellent condition and comes with MIDI from the Canadian company MIDITEC!

This Polysix has been modified (modded) so that the internal battery is not located on the KLM-367 board as originally designed. If researched, one will find that this original location caused corrosion on the main section of the data controlling of the keyboard itself. There was some signs of corrosion in this area but all has been cleaned and tested, and any necessary jumpers have been soldered in place to ensure proper functionality. And for those who may be asking, yes, this is a brand new battery that has been installed. You can see in the pics where the battery is mounted to its own circuit board below the keyboard assembly near the mod wheels.

This MIDI modification was installed some time before I even received the keyboard. However, all works as it should with the MIDI In, Out, and Thru.

The best part of the MIDI modification is the MIDI Thru port. Many MIDI kits that I have come across will only have MIDI In, with an occassional few that have an Out as well. This one has a Thru which allows you to daisy chain instead of having the Polysix as a final unit.

I am not entirely sure of what MIDI functions are available with this particular kit since I have not had much luck finding out enough information on MIDITEC other than that they were of the few MIDI kit producers for the Polysix in the earlier years.

I have had this Polysix hooked up via MIDI with my Akai MPC-2000 and used it primarily for note sequencing as I tweaked the controls myself for filtering and other effects.

One factor of the MIDITEC MIDI kit that is worth mentioning is that it doesn't allow the Appregiation section, Hold, or Chord Memory to function as originally designed. I never had a problem with this though since I used it mainly with my MPC2000 as stated earlier or even with my Sequential Circuits Prophet 600 that has a built in Appregiator." inside a polysix

GENESIS P-ORRIDGE's Ensoniq EPS 16?

via Craigslist New York

"This keyboard is in perfect working order. It comes with 50plus unique discs. This keyboard has been played by GENESIS BREYER P-ORRIDGE live with HAWKWIND, PIGFACE, PSYCHIC TV and THEE MAJESTY. It has been used in the studio on countless recordings involving Genesis P-Orridge. Lady Jaye also played it live several times before switching to percussion driven samplers. The library of discs that come with it include sounds recorded and sample by Genesis P-Orridge and Psychic TV that will be recognized by the purchaser as classic signature PTV3 samples. This is a rare opportunity. It comes in a robust flight case that has survived rock and roll tours and airline baggage handlers since 1993! Not only do you get an amazing sampler, sequencer and keyboard but you get sounds and noises that nobody else will ever have. The keyboard itself is signed by Genesis Breyer P-Orridge and still has PTV stickers from touring on it for ease of identification. The manual is available online for downloading. This keyboard is quite literally a piece of Alternative Rock and Roll history!" via Romsay

Elektron Monomachine Karplus Strong technique

YouTube via darenager — April 05, 2010 — "A very basic demo of how to do Karplus Strong synthesis using the Monomachine.

Not intended to be a musical perfomance just a demo of the technique, here's how:

Start with a short sound, such as the GND Noise machine, set a short decay, turn the delay send up, set the delay time to the shortest possible, set the delay feedback at 64, in the key follow page set the delay time and DBAS to negative key follow - you can experiment here for different sounds.

Adjusting the various delay parameters will change the sound, keep the delay time short and feedback around 64, I made some percussive sounds, plucked string type sounds and FM sounding tones by experimenting with the settings. Have fun ;)
