Prophet VS Rack


Title link takes you to shots via this auction. via Rob

Details:
-8 voice polyphonic hybrid analogue/ digital synth, responds to velocity and aftertouch.
-4 oscillators per voice or 32 oscillators stacked in unison mode! Each oscillator has 127 different waveforms to choose from. Each of the 4 oscillators can select a different waveform and has independant tuning.
-The waveforms are based on high quality 12bit samples. They include all the standard analogue waveshapes sawtooth, square, triangle and sine plus 120+ other very interesting waveforms.
-User waveforms can also be created with the Vector joystick or via a midi sample dump.
-8 Resonant analogue filters based on CEM filter chips. Great sound!
-3x Envelope generators one for amplitude, filter and oscillator mix.
-Each envelope generator has 5 stages with 12 parameters. Each stage can be looped, backwards or forwards, infinitely or for a fixed number of times!
-The 'Oscillator Mix' envelope generator is where the oscillators are blended/ crossfaded over time, creating the movement between the oscillators (Vector synthesis)
-Each oscillator has its own parameter settings for each stage of the 'Oscillator Mix' envelope.
-Sounds can also be created without using the Vector capabilites, just using it like a conventional 4 oscillator analogue polysynth! 4 oscillators! > VCF > Amp/ Filter EG Chorus. Fat sounds!
-Modulation capabilities are also very well specified. As well as the Vector synthesis there are two LFOs and a comprehensive modulation matrix. Velocity, aftertouch, pitch-bend and modulation wheel can be used to control virtually any Prophet VS parameter!

Other features worth mentioning:
A nice arpeggiator.
-Stereo voice panning. Each voice can be panned anywhere in the stereo field.
-Unison mode, with detune! (Great for basslines)
-Random patch generator.
-Midi of course, with great specification.
-The Prophet VS has 100 preset memories. Patches can be split or layered too. Unit comes with my own custom programmed patch bank plus a CDROM with some other program banks which can be dumped via Sysex.

Sonically, the VS is unsurpassed for evolving synth string and pad sounds! Its also great for smooth brass sounds, unison basslines, effects, arpeggios, leadlines, anything...

Rare synth. Less than 400 VS racks were made worldwide, these rack versions are highly sought after."

Anchorsong with String Quartet - Breathe Breathe Me (edit)


YouTube via yohage. via Masaaki Yoshida (Anchorsong).

"Anchorsong is the solo project by Masaaki Yoshida from Tokyo, Japan.

He creates music with AKAI MPC2000XL and KORG Triton right in front of the audience.
Some people say, "To see that he constructs music little by little on the stage, reminds me of a painter drawing on a white canvas." This time, he collaborated with amazing string quartet.

Finally, his 1st EP "The Storytelling EP" was released on 16th May 2007.
2 discs inside(CD & LIVE DVD), and full version of "Breathe Breathe Me" is included on DVD side."

Vintage Allison Labs 2DR


Click here for more shots via this auction. If you know more about this unit, feel free to comment.

Details
"VARIABLE Hi-CUT and LO-CUT RACKMOUNT FILTER. It is hard to find much info out there about these, but I did see that recording artist John Vanderslice mentioned incorporating a similar, less feature packed Allison Labs filter into his recording setup. This is a passive unit, requiring no power cord, and all connections and controls are positioned around front. This unit IS VERY HEAVY, and VERY STURDY- extremely well made."
