Analogue Solutions TERESHKOVA

videos previously posted

via Analogue Solutions:
"Differences between Vostok and Tereshkova;

They are identical in every respect, except with the Tereshkova, instead of the Matrix panel and VU meter you get extra;

LFO
2 VCAs
2 Multiples

(of course artwork slightly different to reflect these changes).

Other than that identical. They will produce the same sort of sounds.

The choice is whether you need the Pin Matrix Panel or the extra modules. Both are useful!"

PAIA GNOME Portable Synthesizer


via this auction

"Description: The Gnome Synthesizer was originally made to imitate the sound of the wind, but it was possible to make other sounds as well. It has a small vinyl controller strip originally used to control the "strength" of the wind. Because of its small size and battery power, this small synth has become something of a classic, and one of the old Paia instruments that is still wellsought for today."

Analogue Solutions Oberkorn MK3 - Analog Sequencer

via this Noisebug auction
"Oberkorn is a fully fledged professional analogue sequencer providing plenty of control outputs and inputs and with some unique creative features never before seen. Whilst most new analogue sequencers only offer a limiting 8 steps, the Oberkorn offers the all important 16 steps. It is a multi-channel true analogue sequencer with some remarkable features. Below are a list of main features:

- 3 separate Control Voltage channels. Each has a range control.
- 2 separate Gate channels. Either can be on or off, they can be both on together too.
- The Gates can be clocked using internal clock, external clock or use a special Legato mode.
- Nice bright blue LEDs
- MIDI to clock, trigger and step number converter
- Transpose inputs
- Two channels have glide (portamento)
- CV control of clock speed.
- Capability of changing step sequence to anything you want other than the standard 1 to 16.
- Can be reset to step 16, which is very important for synching with other gear.
- This sequencer will work with a Hz/V synth, but works best with the more common V/Oct.
- Much more! For more details on all features of Oberkorn, please read the user manual presented as a PDF below.

A quick note about analogue sequencers:
Analogue sequencers are devices that allow a sequence (up to 16 steps in the case of Oberkorn) of voltages and gate signals to be 'played back' sequentially in order from 1 to 16. Each step has its own control to vary Voltage and a switch to turn the Gate on or off for that step. As the sequencer advances through each step, the CV and Gate signals for that step are output at the CV and Gate sockets. When step 16 is reached, the sequencer resets to step 1 and starts all over again. Oberkorn has 3 CV and 2 Gate channels, 16 steps, and can be made to step in any order. Control Voltage (CV) is normally used to control an oscillator's pitch, but can be used to control any module that has a CV input, such as filter cut-off. The Gate signal is usually used to trigger an envelope, but can be used to control any module with a gate, trigger or clock input. There are many controls and features on an analogue sequencer to give more overall control over the way the sequencer opperates. The major advantage over an analogue sequencer compared to a MIDI/Digital sequencer are: You have direct access to each note pitch (CV) and note on/off (Gate) as there is a separate control for each step. Software sequencers do not offer this advantage, and very very few hardware MIDI sequencers do either. This makes analogue sequencers more immediate and hands on. With this immediate hands on control, you can experiment by altering the controls as the sequence plays, to evolve and manipulate your patterns in real time. As the signals coming from the sequencer are analogue voltages, they can be added, inverted, slewed, or whatever, and can be used as audio or control signals to feed into other analogue devices.

Circuit-Bent Roland TR-505 drum machine

via this auction
"Diabolical Modified Circuit-Bent Roland TR-505:
The Diabolical Roland TR-505 Mods are very similar to the TR-707/727 Modifications which make use of added independent Clock Sources to control the pitch of individual sounds. On the 505 we add 6 pitch controls which affect Bass, Snare, Congas, Toms/Timbale, Cowbells, Hand Clap/Rim. Each Pitch control has a bypass switch that selects either the adjustable clock oscillator or the original 707 CLK. We have also added a 10 point circuit/ROM bending patch bay made from high quality banana jacks (patch cables are included). Linking patch locations will generate a wide variety of modulate, filtered, bit reduced, and otherwise unique effects. The combination of pitch controls and circuit-bending can create some truly one of a kind sounds.

Diabolical Devices aka Class A Electronics, LLC is a leader in Professionally Modified Synthesizer and Audio Equipment, Expert Repair Services, and has a full line of Hand-Wired Tubes Amplifiers and Effects (Diabolical Amplification). Their work has been featured at NAMM, art galleries, music videos, countless tech blogs, and used by musicians all over the world, professionals and enthusiasts alike. The circuit-bending and synth mods are the work of head-technician James Gramling who has spent the last 12 years in professional audio service and electronics prototyping. Check out the new www.circuit-bent.com for updated specs, custom work questions, and new releases from Diabolical Devices."

Admin: Ebay RSS Feed Update

I fixed the Class A Electronics feed and added Gear Orphanage in the MORE STUFF section on the right. If any of the feeds seem odd, just unsub and resub. I just subbed to all, one by one. It was a little painful but it is done and now I can forget about checking the links manually - all listings will come into my RSS reader. Note not all auctions get a post on the main site or even MATRIXSYNTH-B. Only those specifically sent in and/or those with the best pics, rare items, or interesting bits go up. Each post is meant to illicit a response. Each post is meant to stand on it's own, in the archives, when the auction is long gone.

ARP Little Brother Vintage Analog Synth CV Oscillator

via this auction

"Oh, no we didn't!

An ARP Little Brother is loose!

This spunky little devil works well and sounds great! The housing is in good shape overall showing some moderate scratching. There is a little bit of white paint speckle at the top of the control area. All controls manipulate the synth as intended. The controls for the "Brass" and "Alto" switches are a little stiff but not damaged. Jacks, faders, and switches are intact and should hold up for a while still.


This guy is great! Perfect sidecar oscillator for any CV/Gate analog synth. No envelopes or filters to get in the way of your madness. Use it as a stand-alone synth and play it by the pitch bend control for theremin sounds! Get busy!"

Folktek The Bug 10

via this auction
"The Bug 10 By Ben Houston .
This custom piece is part of a folktek series entitled "philanthropoid"". Known simply as the Bug series. Also in the series on the site and around the world is the Mantis, dronescape sequencer,the book of sound, the moth, the growling insect, the bug, the octa-hedra, walking stick, pendulum translator and others. The sound is phenomenol and continues to amaze us. It is a sonic symphony of nasty and grimy sweetness, endless layers of sound possibilities emenating from High quality OSC originally based on high tech speech synthesis. Seemingly random bits can be rediscovered time and time again and then there are those moments that you will most likely never rediscover. Endlessly captivating, this piece WILL provide sounds that you will not find in other synthesizers and will astonish you every time you turn it on.

This particular piece features four patchable knobs, and a twelve point magnetic patchbay. This allows you to determine function and provides tons of flexibility. In addition, two more knobs (global knob control and power kill) , glowing lamp power indicator , 2 folktek button/switches for activate and freeze mode sections, reset, 1/4" output, basic manual of function and layout. You'll be able to cipher through waveforms and textures with extreme sensitivity in thousands of ways. Waveforms (individual, or multiple layers) can be captured and maintained, often intermodulating in beautiful and/or disturbing ways. Super sensitive knobs let you filter through tons of sounds and glitchscapes. Albums are waiting to be created here as the sound is quite different from anything else you'll find.. Includes DC adaptor"
