Sound Thrasher 3.0 - Analog Synthesizer Synth Noise Box
images at this auctionaudio
"Here’s an original work of functional art, created by New York artist, Bent-It. The piece shown in the pictures is the one you will receive.
With this piece, Bent-It combines visual, audible, and physical stimulation, fostering a truly unique, thought-provoking, interactive work of art. The artist’s fundamental concept of “art creating art” is made evident, as the owner of this piece may physically control and manipulate the audio/sound/noise/music/art output.
The guts of this functional artwork include three oscillators which mess with each other, causing its ¼” output to spit out droning, spaced-out, ring modish, 80’s video game-ish, psychedelic analog noises. The on-off switch can also be flipped rhythmically to create cosmic/spacey, bleeping and blooping. But, to experience the full potential hook it up to audio effect pedals, boards, racks, Mac or PC. The piece also has a ¼” input for anything with a strong enough signal. For example a drum machine which is heard in the audio clips made with a roland tr-505 drum machine.A standard boss-style 9-volt DC wallwart adapter will bring this functional artwork to life. It is not included."

Electro Harmonix Micro Synth
via this auction"From the classic vintage sounds of the great early Moog synthesizer to custom creations, the Microsynth creates fat analog synth sounds heard on classic recordings by some of the finest musicians in the world. Compact ten-slider layout lets the sonically adventurous guitarist dial in a virtually limitless array of analog synthesizer sounds: from percussive stabs to backwards-sounding bowed effects.
- True bypass
- All analog design
- 2-pole analog resonant filter
- 4 voice mixer section mixes: sub octave, original, octave up and square wave
- Square wave voice can be used as a distortion tone
- Start, stop filter frequency sliders with adjustable rate for full control over the filter's sweep direction and speed
- Adjustable filter resonance control
- Adjustable attack time control for fading-in notes
- Tough and compact die-cast chassis
- 96DC-200BI power supply included"
MoogerFooger FreqBox
images at this auction"Moog oscillator with an envelope sensor, CV inputs and outputs and an FM dial, manual, power supply and original box
From Moog:
The MF-107 FreqBox(tm) is different from other effects – the effected sound is not a processed version of your input signal, but the sound of the input signal modulating an internal oscillator. It contains a VCO with continuously variable waveshape, and the capacity to modulate that Oscillator in the following ways:
- the VCO can be hard synced by the input signal
- The VCO can be frequency modulated (FM) by the input signal
- The VCO frequency can be modulated by an envelope follower which tracks the dynamics of the input signal
- The Amplitude of the VCO also tracks the dynamics of the input signal
Hard sync is a classic analog synthesis technique where the start of an oscillator’s cycle can be reset by another. The oscillator being synced takes on the frequency characteristics of the other oscillator, and when its frequency is swept, it reinforces the harmonics of the fundamental frequency. In the case of the FreqBox, the input signal is used to reset the FreqBox’s VCO.
FM is a technique used to get really rich sounds from simple waveforms. The type of FM used in the FreqBox is linear FM. Sounds range from gong or bell-like tones to sizzly sweeps.
The FreqBox, like all moogerfoogers, works with any instrument to line-level input. In addition to the panel controls there are control inputs for use with expression pedals or control voltages and control outputs for interconnecting moogerfoogers like you would a modular synth.

images at this auction"Oberheim Two-Voice Synthesizer --- TVS-1 --- serial # 0255 manufactured circa 1976 with two Sequencer Expander Modules (SEM's), one Mini Sequencer and a 37 key keyboard."
MFOS 16 Step Analog Sequencer
images at this auction"# Produces sequences of 4 to 16 steps in length
# Modes include stop at count, reverse at count,
reset at count and random 16 mode
# Each step has coarse tune, fine tune, and switchable gate
# Accepts external clock and external start pulse.
# Simultaneous outputs with and without portamento.
# Forward, Back, and Reset controls ease sequence set up. "
Roland SH-3A
images at this auction" Serial #291693. This one has been modified. A previous owner 'split' apart the 'synth' section from the 'keyboard' section. The case has been 're-connected' via metal straps (see photos). He also installed a series of four RCA jacks on both the keyboard half and the synth half. To connect them together you use these four RCA cable inputs (see photo). There is also a set of three 'unique' jacks on both halves. These are non-functional."

Waldorf Micro-Q
via this auction via noisebug"the microq's synthesis architecture and sound comes directly from the waldorf q synthesizer and was packed into an nice 2u rack housing. still the microq is easy to program with its editing matrix (some users already may know a similar editing surface from the waldorf pulse synthesizer). this allows you to edit nearly most of the sound engine parameters directly on the surface of this little beast without being in need of activating menus.
not only the expensive sound of the waldorf q was implemented: also the powerful arpeggiator and the more than useful drum map can be found in the waldorf microq, too.
it's time to get maximum quality sound for a minimum amount of money!
features:
up to 25 voices, expandable up to 75 voices
16 part multi timbral
300 single programs
100 multi programs
20 drummaps
7 endless dials
16 buttons for editing
2 x 20 character display
6 analog outputs (3 stereo outs)
2 analog inputs (1 stereo in)
midi in/out/thru
color: classic blue
per voice:
up to 5 oscillators per voice: pulse with pulse width modulation, sawtooth, triangle, sine, 2 wavetables with 128 waves each and suboscillator per alt-wave
oscillator fm
noise generator
ring modulator
mixer with balance, each signal source (oscillator, noise, ringmod, external audio material) can be balanced individually between filter 1 and filter 2
2 filters (serial and parallel routing switchable), different types, all including fm and distortion:
low pass (12db/24db)
band pass (12db/24db)
high pass (12db/24db)
notch (12db/24db)
comb filter (positive/negative feedback)

4 modifiers
arpeggiator with user pattern, including accents, timing information, swing, glide, chords and more
3 lfos up to audio range
4 envelopes, enhanced adsr configuration with loop and one shot function, bipolar
different trigger modes for each envelope, poly, mono, dual, unisono, manual trigger etc.
