Starting somewhere...

Published on Sep 24, 2013 Richard Galbraith·4 videos

"This my first attempt at a (semi) live modular performance (I added some drums part of the way through). First take on the modular, and first take on the drums. Kind of random. Since I normally multitrack everything, I just wanted to see if I could work this way.... The modular is driven by Numerology, routed through an MOTM-650 midi-cv converter. Modules are synthesizers.com, MegaOhm Audio, MOTM, SSL, and Grove Audio. Drums are Roland v-drums (TD-12)."

YAMAHA CS-50 4-VOICE VINTAGE SYNTHESIZER with Original Stand

Pics of the inside below.

"For sale is this vintage 1978 Yamaha CS-50 synthesizer. This classic analog synth, serial number 2098, is often considered a "scaled-down" version of the Yamaha CS-80, however, the consensus suggests this is a much more special and unique synth worthy of a more distinguished description. Read the reviews, vintage synth enthusiasts overwhelmingly agree that the CS-50 deserves to be acknowledged equally for it individuality as it's resemblance to the flagship CS-80. This particular example is in perfect-working studio-ready condition, and includes the (4) original chrome legs, the (2) cross-braces and the original protective lid. It is being sold with No Reserve and affordable Worldwide shipping!

This accessible 4-voice synth with 13 factory presets produces monstrously thick bass and incredibly warm organic tone. Just like the CS-60 and CS-80, the CS-50 features After Touch (pressure sensitivity). One key appointment that the CS-50 does not have is the ribbon controller. Otherwise, the CS-50 is quite incredible in it's own right.

Aside from seemingly inevitable pressure dents from the wingnuts within the lid, the synth is in very excellent condition. It works perfectly, and was recently tuned. All keys, switches, buttons and knobs are in perfectly intact functional condition. It does not include the original sheet music stand. The interior is extremely well-preserved, and all circuit boards are incredibly clean. There is no evidence that this unit has been exposed to anything but the inside of a recording studio..."

ARP 2600 with Matching Keyboard

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"ARP 2601- The sale includes the synthesizer and matching serial number keyboard, original non copied manuals for synth and keyboard,old 1975 promotional materials, 4 patch cables, and dual 1/8" to 1/4 " synth to mixer(Amp) cables. This model is the Arp 2601P V1.0 circa 1975 with matching serial number 3620 duo-phonic LFO keyboard..This unit has the 4012 Moog ladder filter which was discontinued in the subsequent 2601P V2.0 model. It is serial number 0087 as is the serial number of the keyboard.This unit is in excellent cosmetic and functional condition for being close to 40 years old and has been brought up to showroom condition within the past year.

When searching for a 2600 , my goal was always to find a unit that had essentially been frozen in a time capsule and then replace dried out electrolytics! This is it. This synth was sequestered for nearly three decades in a closet in Calgary away from indoor lighting and moisture. Until recently, last played in 1978. Consequently, the grey faceplate shows no evidence of any fading as does the tolex.The tolex is original and exhibits no brittleness.All the 1/8" input/ outputs and faceplate nuts and screws are like new- shiney silver. Not even a hint of rust on any jack which would be evidence of poor environmental storage and moisture exposure. The internal speakers are great. No distortion or vibration at high volume.

In addition to the 12 standard photos, there is a link with 53 higher resolution photos of the synth, keyboard, and tolex cabinets/covers at all possible angles at wwwdotflickrdotcom/photos/ john316_golf ( sorry, have to list the site this way or it will be blocked by you know who).If you are serious about purchasing, you will definitely be reviewing these.

In order to bring this synth up to current standards, the following work was done in 2011 by John Smith of Davidson Electronics(NY) who apprenticed under Don Buchla:
All keyboard contacts cleaned, busbars polished, and bushings replaced(action feels great)
All tantalum capacitors were replaced
80% of op-amps were replaced
All sliders lubricated( no scratchy pots)
The typical signal path upgrade was done and the original VCA " thump" inherent in the 2600 series synths eliminated. Upgrade included replacing all gain stages in 2601 in preamp, VCF mixer, output mixer,output buffers,reverb stages, and voltage processors.
Additionally, Rob Currier of England Analog in August 2013 performed the following work:
replaced the standard 9" reverb tank with a 17" reverb spring which matched the original Blue Marvin/ Grey Meanie spring length. This spring is installed with an insulated sleeve so external vibration will not affect the reverb tank.
Replaced all voltage regulators
Calibrated the PSU to factory specs
All together, over $2800 of work was done to this synth and you would be hard pressed to find one in similar functional condition with the high quality original cosmetics of this unit .Reason for selling is I just put a 50% deposit on the Schmidt synthesizer and need to raise funds for the other 50%. That and my wife and 9 year old daughter could no longer take my full volume Frankenstein filter sweeps!This was a tough decision.I'll never find another 2600 down the road that sounds and looks as good as this one.

For anyone who has lived in a cave since 1971 and has never heard of the Arp 2600, here are a few basics:
Polyphony- monophonic(but can be patched via the 3620m keyboard to be duo-phonic )
Filter-25db self oscillating 4012(Moog) ladder with ring modulator
Osc-3 VCOs 4027 VCO 1- saw, square VCO 2-saw, square, sine, pulse, triangle VCO 3-saw, square,pulse; white noise
Envelopes- 1ADSR type 1AR type
Effects-17" spring reverb
LFO- 4015 sample and hold and many patchable options for modulation
Keyboard- 49 keys with portamento and LFO vibrato amount and rate, pitch bend knob.."

Ladik J-010 Joystick Module for Eurorack



via this auction - learn how to sell on eBay here

"Joystick module Ladik J-010 for eurorack / Doepfer A100 system.

Independent two outputs for axis X and Y.

Range knob for voltage amount, Offset knob for voltage offset ("centering") for both axes.

Two LEDs for every axis (easy voltage centering).

Spring centered (springs can be removed but front strong dust-protection rubber still slightly moves stick to center position so I suggest use all time centered with springs).

Industrial grade joystick.

Quality connectors made in England (no cheapo China), durable engraved panel.

Built by me the best way I know. PCB on rear side is silver coated.

If you´ll connect joystick outputs into my J-MATH J-011 module, you´ll get some math (additions and subtractions on independent outputs) and absolute value for Y-axis splitted into two outputs.

With this function you can drive for example VCF frequency at upper joystick position and LFO frequency at lower joystick position (for example).

Width: 12TE/ 12HP/ 60mm.
Depth: 55mm /2,2" max.
Current: 10mA max."

"If you have any idea for an custom module let me know. I´m preparing some further modules so stay tuned :)"
