Roland Jet Phaser AP-7

via this auction
"AP-7, the unit blends a distortion/fuzz with an 8 stage phaser to create psychedelic jet sounds aka fuzz and faze. Controls include Jet level (distortion), Mode, Resonance, and Slow Rate. Phaser sounds great, nice, thick, watery. Some say the distortion is very similar to the Boss DS-1, which would make sense. The Fast/Slow switch allows you to get the classic ramp up/down warble of a Leslie speaker, and this is worth the ticket price alone, especially if you are tired of hauling your Vibratone around (I know I am!). The sounds remind me of Marc Bolan/T-Rex's Slider vibe. Definitely a 70's tint to the tone, but the pedal is quite versatile with 4 Jet settings, and 2 phase settings that do not use the fuzz. Come on, bring this baby home."

Mu-tron Digital Delay * Musitronics *

via this auction
"This Digital Delay is one of the last from the Mutron line, and as the back panel color scheme indicates, was manufactured by ARP after they purchased Mu-Tron. The unit sounds great. Delay times include 2.5, 5, 10, 40, and 160; the delay variation knob multiples these times allowing you to dial in the exact delay response you're after. You can get really nice and thick doubling, apply modulation to delay for flange effects, and head into sci-fi space funk land by tweaking the feedback, modulation frequency and modulation depth knobs. The freeze switch holds a very short sample, which is also cool. For analog synth gurus, there's a CV in jack to control the modulation."

Technosaurus Cyclodon Analog Step Sequencer

via this auction
"16-STEP PROGRAM The Cyclodon is a 16-step sequencer that is almost Zen-like in its stark simplicity. To begin with, it has two rows of eight continuously variable potentiometers, as well as an that LED indicates which row is being played. Four switches allow you to set the number of steps used in the sequence. The Run/ Stop button controls the sequencer playback when the unit is in Auto mode; in Manual mode it moves you through the sequence one step a time-perfect for tuning each step. The Clock switch puts the sequencer under the control of either the internal clock or an external signal. Under internal control, you can set the speed of the sequence using the Tempo knob.

The Cyclodon sends control voltage and gate signals through minijacks on the unit's right side. The panel also includes a Roland-style 5-pin DIN sync jack so that you can run the Cyclodon from a drum machine, rhythm box, or MIDI-Sync24 converter.

ADDITION AND DIVISION One interesting feature of the Cyclodon is the inclusion of four Step Number switches, marked +8, +4, +2, and +1. These switches allow you to create sequences of 1 to 16 steps, and you can change the number of steps while the sequencer is running. Want to do an additive sequencing piece in which you increase the number of steps in the sequence one at a time? With the Cyclodon, you can.

You can also control the number of steps that are played for each external pulse via the Clock Divider setting. It can be set to play whole notes (one sequencer step for every four external beats), half notes (one step for every two beats), quarter notes (one step per beat), eighth notes (two steps per beat), and 16th notes (four steps per beat)."

Sequentix P3 midi analog step sequencer

via this auction
"http://www.sequentix.com/sq_p3.htm

The P3 Sequencer is an 8 track, hardware MIDI sequencer, with a user interface comprised of knobs, keys and LEDs. A sixteen character by two line PLED display provides confirmation of pattern data and access to advanced features and configuration options.

P3 allows real-time control of track mutes and simple pattern or pattern chain selection across multiple tracks, plus analogue-style editing of patterns. Each of its 384 patterns has independent values for note, velocity, tie, gate, length, gate delay, and a combination of up to four MIDI controllers, extra notes, or 'auxiliary events', per step.

P3's unique auxiliary events allow the creation of dynamically self-modifying patterns. They can grab values from other tracks, randomise steps, alter track and global settings, and much more.

There are three modulation 'accumulators' per track, that can be used as LFOs, perform arpeggiation effects or enable complex pattern progressions.

Furthermore, you can assign front panel knobs to modify or mask these events in real-time, allowing you to create interactive patterns that change predictably as you adjust the knobs - varying in complexity, controlling levels of randomness, even 'morphing' from one pattern to another."
