Selling my JH-3
2009-01-02 by JH.
Right ... that's my hand-built modular system that I finished in 1998. I'll consider offers starting at EUR 10k, but - frankly - expect to sell it for more. The catch is that it must be picked up in Nuernberg, Germany. It might be interesting for someone who wants to own a system that has only been built once, and has been my main instrument and working ground for trying out ideas before I started to contribute to MOTM and, later, to sell PCBs. (It was finished in 1998.) I haven't made any specific documentation for selling this yet. It's not urgent - I plan to wait for offers for a few months. Meanwhile, there are those *old* pictures from the half-finished system, and a list of modules here: http://jhaible.heim.at/tonline_stuff/hj_modul.html (without enclosure) and a blurry picture of the finished System in wooden enclosure here: http://jhaible.heim.at/tonline_stuff/jh_studio_2.jpg (above the OB-8. The Synthi Clone in the foreground is not part of it.) Modules: (1) Dual VCO (CEM3340-based, with thru-zero FM and various types of sync) (2) Dual VC-ADSR (SSM2056-based) (3) Variable-Slope 6-pole Phaser/Filter (based on two Electronotes ideas) (4) SEM-filter with envelope (Oberheim's design + SSM2056) (5) Vintage SSM VCF & VCA (SSM2040 + SSM2020; VC-Resonance) (6) Interpolating Scanner (SSM2024-based crossfade over 8 VCAs) (7) Audio Interface (2 Stereo input channels, 2 Stereo output channels) (8) Dual VCA/Panner/X-Fader (SSM2024-based. Linear Gain controls, exponential Pan/X-fade controls) (9) Ramp LFO Bank (5 Triangle LFO's + pseudo random) (10) 2 x 8-Step Sequencer (very simple, with CD4017) (11) Octave Filter Bank (EMS-clone) (12) Quadrature (Sin/Cos) VCO/LFO + Komparator + Manual CV's (13) Ringmodulator + Sample&Hold + 2 Mixers + VCA + Lag + Noise (14) Manual Controls (A large joystick with X and Y output voltage as well as a quad VCA switchable from 4->1 mixer to 1->4 signal distributor, plus a manual switch 1p2t with zero position) (15) Analogue Shift Register + 2-Stage Envelopes (x2) + Multiples (Influenced by similar Serge Modules) (16) Morphing Programmer (17) Resonant Envelope + VCA / Overdrive / Inverter + Voltage Controlled Clock Divider + VariLogic (switchable AND/NAND/OR/NOR/XOR/XNOR) (18) Korg MS-20-Filter (HP+LP; with original Korg-35 IC's) + two mixers with 2 normal and 1 VCA input each (19) Dual Saw VCO (SEM-design), Portamento JH.
