The Alphatron is the first prototype Dewanatron. Built in 2002, it is based on an SN76477 chip which supports a two-oscillator synthesizer (with noise generator) augmented with a custom low pass/band pass filter and full ADSR envelope generator. Three additional pulse width oscillators control internal switching that creates irregular combinations of sound sources and frequency modulation, and generates idiosyncracratic rhythms.

The Model A is the first cousin of the Alphatron and similar in its operation and circuit design. Its parlor style console makes it suitable for use in formal living rooms and recital halls and its push-button mixer adds excitement to live performances.

The Executive Chua Comber is for exploring the chaotic behavior of a circuit designed by mathematician Leon Chua. Two Chua oscillators can be adjusted to independently comb thru various modes of increasing complexity, ultimately reaching mathematical chaos; they can also perturb each other\'s "orbits". It is housed in a former intercom shell.

The Courtesy Modulator houses two oscillators, each capable of modulating the other as well as serving adjacent instruments. Valuable auxiliary sine waves are generated and provided to neighboring synthesizers. Each oscillator has controls for frequency, range, volume, and frequency modulation amplitude. A toggle switch divides the realm of sub-audio frequencies from the audio range.

The Four by Four has a grid of 16 potentiometers controlling eight square-wave oscillators, each with a frequency and pulse width control. They are to switch on and off audio signals, control signals, and other signals. The oscillators may be used in tandem to sum the waves, creating idiosyncratic and unpredictable rhythmic divisions to control a single switch.
Used as independent voices, audio signals alternately suppressed and released combine to make a chaotic yet canonic polyphony.

The Switchyard houses eight junctions in a solid state switching depot. Audio or control signals routed into the junctions can be switched on and off electronically by a remote dispatching device such as the Four by Four.
The Switchyard receives up to eight ungoverned signals and by means of its octolinear subtractive action restricts their flow, arbitrating and combining them to yield restrained and transparent music.

The Rosterer is a serial row of potentiometers, much like the traditional sequencer, which advances from stage to stage with a unique voltage which can be applied to modulate pitch, time duration, frequency modulation amount, spectrum filter or any other voltage controlled parameter.

The Rotary Ordinator: telephonically controlled timer banks fire triggers for a quartet of built-in analog synthesizers, each with ADSR envelope generators and low pass/band pass filters. While able to perform independently, polyrhythmic music can be expanded by an external trigger output signal to synchronize other instruments to its pulse.

The Cartridge Organ fashions live musique concrète from six channels of simultaneously running magnetic tape loop cartridges. Three eight-track tape player mechanisms continuously provide acoustic and electronic sounds recorded over degaussed eight-track tapes; these sounds can be articulated through key switches, envelope generators, filters, etc. Unlike samples, the recorded sounds heard are tiny excerpts from a non-repeating ten-minute tape loop.

The Sequence Scrambler creates an externally triggered sequence whose order can be changed while keeping the potentiometer settings intact. The overall voltage range can be adjusted and inverted separately for each of the three outputs. Used to control audio and control frequencies, filters or any voltage controlled device.
