Thanks for taking the time to go through these and re-post them for everyone.

MIDI Monitor was made by me.

ROM Player was by me, trog and a few others I cannot remember others as it was so long ago.

It's great fun for me to go through this old stuff, in fact I'm obsessed. It's like that dream I sometimes have where I keep finding money! Also there's a lot to learn, especially when something almost works and I try to make it work.

I've edited the posts you mentioned to attribute them correctly.
Every author deserves to be creditied for the stuff I post but most didn't sign their work, so I rely on others to tell me who did what. So many thanks for the info.

Super LFO

Here is a flexible LFO made in assembler. The author has provided a test environment for hearing and seeing the results. There is a Mono and Poly stream version and also an interesting mini CPU cycles module (which I haven't verified).

Waveform creator for txt files

This great module is for creating waveforms then exporting as .txt files suitable for loading into a wavetable osc.
The principle used allows waveforms to be created without the usual hand-tremor problems of the stock wave-draw, these leading to possibly unwanted high harmonics and harshness. It's also I think more intuitive and immediate than using sliders or harmonic drawing.
The authors have provided a test environment so you can play the wave in real-time while editing.
Note that this is for table creation only and, whilst it is playable, there is no preset support or loading option so it's usage would be as an adjunct or tool as a way of creating a huge range of waves to load into a synth.
Highly recommended!

Spogged: Added some basic instructions for the drawing process.

Drawbars

Here's a nice set of drawbars with various coloured handles.

Spogged: Put them into a module so I could save the lot into my toolbox in one go.

Up/down controlled knob

This scaleable knob has 2 inputs to trigger an up/down movement. The amount of travel per trigger is determined by the step size set in properties. I guess this modification could be done to any knob if you look inside the schematic. The knob has all the usual properties to set as you wish.

Spogged:
Added 2 trigger buttons and a float readout to demo.
Changed the properties to demo the function (was not enabled originally!).

Moveable GUIs

Remarkable demo this. You can select which GUI you want displayed. Each one can be dragged around by its title bar and closed by the Windows-like X button.
I don't think it supports presets and I'm not sure how easy it would be to create more windows but it might inspire someone to develop it further.

Nixie tubes

If you want the ultimate in retro looks this is for you! Nixie tubes use neon display technology and were the readout type used on the Apollo moonshots.
Siemens used them in the late 70s for their X-ray machines to indicate the kV and mAs settings as another example, so this is a burst of pure nostalgia for me.
These are very faithful re-creations and, as a huge bonus, the tubes are scaleable to their view size.

Pitch Shifter

A great pitch shifter module with a good set of controls and a nice GUI.

Spogged:
Added a test environment; the original schematic was just the module.
Gave all the knobs a unique preset name and tested with a preset manager.

Author: It says ported by treacherous umbrella, no other info.

Pulsing vacuum tubes

Wonderful representation of valves (tubes) that pulse with varying brightness to the music. Great demo environment too. I'm sure a lot of work went into this.
The tubes themselves scale to their view area so you can make them any size you want.

Oversampled Wave Player

Comes loaded with a nice demo clip to show off the quality produced by the oversampling technique. This sounds so clean and clear to my old Vulcan ears!
