"* 3 analogue VCOs (sawtooth, square, triangle waveforms)
* 2 envelope generators (ADSR)
* analogue 24 dB lowpass filter with resonance (VCF)
* 2 LFOs (sawtooth, square, triangle, random waveforms)
* 50 preset- and 49 user memories
* integrated step sequencer

The MFB-SYNTH II is a monophonic Synthesizer module. It uses analogue circuits that are voltage controlled for oscillators, filters and amplification. The synthesizer is controlled by MIDI, CV/Gate or the integrated step sequencer that can hold up to 25 sequences with 32 steps each. Here are the details:
The VCO sections contains three individual oscillators that are scaled to the volt/octave standard. The selectable waveforms are sawtooth, square and triangle. VCO II offers an additional impulse wave and pulse width control for the square wave. The octave can be set between 4`, 8`and 16` or 32’. An additional detune amount of plusminus one octave can be set for VCO 2 and VCO 3. The VCOs can either be modulatied by an LFO or VCO 3. VCO1 can be set to SYNC and two digital ringmodulations are available as VCO1+2 and VCO2+3.
The mixer allows level control of all oscillators plus noise and the level of the external audio input.
The lowpass filter is a resonant 24 dB/octave design. Emphasis (resonance) can be set up to self oscillation. The cutoff frequency can be automodulated by an LFO or by and VCO. KEY controls the influence of the keyboard pitch on the cutoff parameter (Keyboard scaling).
Both VCF and VCA have their propietary envelope generators with Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release parameters. The VCA can also be modulated by an LFO for characteristic tremolo effects.
There are LFOs. The waveforms offered are sawtooth, rectangle, triangle and random. The can be set to „One Shot“ mode to be used as simple envelopes.
The MFB-SYNTH II 50 preset- and 49 memory locations. The synthesizer will respond to incoming velocity data (MIDI). The velocity information can be used to control either VCF cutoff or VCA level. Pitch- and Modulation wheel are both recognized.
The step sequencer sends and receveives MIDI clock and responds to Start and Stop MIDI commands.
Connectors: MIDI In/Out, Audio In/Out , CV/GATE In, Power (original power supply included).

For a few samples of this excellent sounding synth, you can hear a few of my songs composed with the MFB SYNTH II:

Clavia Nord Modular Keyboard Synthesizer

"The Nord Modular is a virtual modeling modular synthesizer. Any synthesizer you can conceive of, you can design with the Nord Modular Editor software. Download your creation to the Nord Modular synth, and your creation comes to life using virtual sound modeling. The keyboard itself is small and compact. It houses the synth engine and all DSP processors. Once a new patch is downloaded to the synth, you can do some basic editing with the 18 knobs on the front panel, however, the Nord Modular must be connected to a PC or Mac to create new synth patches. This unit is loaded with the latest OS version - V.3.03.

The software is the Nord Modular Editor. It is a powerful editor that graphically shows you all the modules you have available. Using the graphic interface, you interconect your modules with virtual cables, and synthesize a sound. The software features over 100 modules, from analog ocsillators, to formant filter-banks! It's true modular synthesis meets computer synthesis. It sounds awesome too! The keyboard still has MIDI to be controlled and sequenced from your standard sequencer. The programs you create in the editor can be stored on the computer or in one of the 100 memories in the keyboard. Once you've created a sound you can quit the editor program and use the keyboard controller stand-alone.

The keyboard has multiple outputs, stereo inputs for processing external signals, pedal and C/V inputs, and has a very easy and intuitive layout and a nice LCD screen. It also features a very good sequencer! There is absolutely nothing like this synthesizer on the market. If you want the capabilities of a true modular synthesizer in a portable powerful package, this is the keyboard for you!

Here's a very small sample of what this synth can do:

inverse room photosynth Noise generator

"Another little oddity from the noise experimentation cupboard.

Up for auction here is a rather rare and unique noise generator called an Inverse room Photosynth.Its basically an oscilaltor / lfo / Light sensitive theramin plus some cross mod buttons and some other weird and rather undocumentable features.I havent got a clue what does what really aside form the lfo and pitch adjust but it makes might strange noises , signals , radiophonic fx , transmitter noises and blips , blurps .A great sample source !

Checkout the jam below ( 7mb) (All sounds are from the photosynth for auction here + some reverb added and a parrot or 2 but al synthetic sounds are this little box ) Definately a wig out machine this one and great fun.Battery operated and working like it should.
