EML 100
No title link. Just two shots via this auction.Details:
"eml 100 semi-modular synth, the predecessor of the eml 101. the 101 is rare enough (around 1500 made) but this is even more rare, look online and you can hardly find any mention of it. Four oscillators!!! white and pink noise. imagine a minimoog with patchcords!!! yeah this beast is mindblowing. i will probably regret selling this for the rest of my life, but times are tough, and bills are encroaching on my diet, so here it is to the luckiest synth guru out there. it comes with original manual for it and the 101, a plastic record that came with it by eml, and an array of original patch cords. the pots are a bit dirty and make noise when turned, it will need a proper cleaning, beyond that it is in good shape, not mint, probably a 7 out of 10. just regular wear that accumulated since 1971 when i am guessing it was made. it has its own wooden cabinet whereby it closes up like a briefcase. if you are familiar with the 101 this is basically the same thing with a blue face rather than the silver."
Plan B Model 13 Dual Timbre Gate Synth Module
No title link. Just the shot pulled via this auction.Details:
"As per the Plan B website:
The Model 13 is an enhanced derivative of the infamous Buchla 292 Low Pass Gate.
Like all Lowpass gates, at the heart of the Dual Timbral Gate is a device known as a Vactrol -- a small electro-optical coupler which opens the filter with it's characteristic ringing qualitiy. As sonically compelling as they are, Vactrols however are not perfect. While some of their anomalies are desirable (ringing for instance), others are not. Long story short - Vactrols leak. Not vactrol juice, but sound passed through them, even when you're telling them to be quiet. While it can't be eliminated without jeopardizing the ring, it can be improved upon and the Model 13 does just that, decreasing the nominal leakage associated with other LPGs by a factor of 10, from 3mv to just a under one third of a mv...barely audible even in at very high volumes.
Each gate is fitted with an offset knob which serves two functions: If no VC is applied, they act as manual level controls. Once a VC is patched they act as low threshold offsets, as the gate will not close below the level set on the pot. A three position switch selects the modes of operation: Amplitude only (no filtering), LowPass (high filtering) or Both (a combination of Amplitude and Lowpass settings). The M13 has been further enhanced by a dedicated crossfading sum output, allowing for a sonic mixtures of the information passed through both. One application for this output being when both gates are set to amplitude mode, your DTG becomes a handy 2 in, 1 out mixer!"
