Lexicon PCM 80 effects demo, by Pulse Emitter. With Novation Bass Station II.
Published on Aug 15, 2016 Pulse Emitter
"All custom edited patches. I played one single patch on a Novation Bass Station II synthesizer live through the Lexicon PCM 80 and recorded the output. The Pitch FX card is installed and in use. Quite a few of these sounds use the Resonant Chord algorithms which let you tune 6 different high frequency delays, creating wonderful ambient effects. This effects processor is very powerful with extraordinarily deep programming capabilities. Truth be told I bought it because I read in a Steve Roach interview that he has a few of them and they are key to his sound, and I've always loved his sound... Anyway, I've used this on a number of my albums. Love the pitch shifted delays, chorus, and reverb, although the unit is a bit noisy.

Published on May 11, 2016 Reverb.com
"In this episode of Funky Vintage, we cover Moog’s crown jewel: the Minimoog Model D. This is the synth that started it all; it brought synthesis out of the laboratory and onto the stage, giving performing musicians access to the iconic synths sounds we know and love today. You’ve undoubtedly heard this classic three-oscillator monophonic synth, although you may not be aware of it."

"Original edition Moog Minimoog Model D, serial number 53XX; with rare Moog 1125 Sample & Hold. The mini features the rare solid walnut wood cabinet and clear pitch/modulation wheels. This vintage Minimoog is in collector's condition. You will be hard-pressed to ever find a nicer Minimoog than this one!!
Also included are the following:
Brand new heavy-duty vinyl cover
Spare parts including two new clear pitch/modulation wheels and white rocker switches
Original Moog manual with schematics
The below work was just performed by an authorized Moog Service Center:
The keyboard was redone with all new rubber stops
All key contacts were cleaned
The circuit boards and tuning were calibrated
The unit also has several Moog modifications:
New oscillator board for increased tuning stability
2nd pitch knob for oscillator one (permits switching rapidly between unison and fifth tunings, etc.)
Constant "drone" switch
All modification were done by an authorized Moog Service Center using Moog parts
The Model 1125 Sample and Hold unit connects to the Minimoog (or other Moogs with an 'S' trigger) to trigger random sequencing patterns. It was just tested and is working fine."

ARP 2600 Rev .2/4 SN 14616
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
Note this one was listed back in September, 2015 here.
"This is an ARP 2600 synthesizer. However, the configuration shown here is not exactly typical, and those who know this synthesizer will recognize the importance of these features. The synthesizer itself is a Rev.2, while the keyboard is a Rev.4 3620 two-voice model. Definitely NOT an 'off-the-floor' setup, but here's why this is significant:
When the Rev.2 versions were built after a redesign of the original (and craptastic) Rev.1 'blue meanie' 2600s, they still utilized ARP's original 4012 VCF design, which was a copy, more or less, of Bob Moog's transistor ladder lowpass VCF. Eventually, Moog and ARP came to blows in court over this, and the Rev.3 and 4 2600s used the not-so-awesome 4072 VCF, which sounds very different and much thinner at the low end, less bright at the top. But at the time of the Rev.2, there was no such animal as the two-voice 3620 keyboard; you had the simpler 3604 and the REALLY simple 3601...and that was it. It was not until some years on that ARP came up with the 3620, which also provides an extra LFO, some pedal controls and a few other interesting features, and the one here is from the final 2600 revision, Rev.4, as noted by the orange graphics and the 'no-logo' ARP logo. The synth here, also, has its distinctive rectangular Tonus logo, as opposed to the Rev.3 'G-clef'. The S/N tag on the side also says 'Manufactured by Tonus', as you can see in its pic.
As would be expected on a 45+ year old piece of gear, the cosmetics are a bit out of sorts. There's some typical tolex snags and scratches, a bit of an issue with the wooden housing (shown in one pic), and a little oxidation on the case metal. Electronically, however, the unit is perfect, with VCO3 having been replaced with a breadboarded copy in 2007, and VCO1 having had that done prior to my taking possession of the unit in 1994. Slider caps are missing here and there, but only one not-too-essential speaker slider has taken a hit. Caps are easily available, though. The synth, sadly, has a couple of major bits missing; the handle is gone (see pic) and there was no front case lid when I acquired it. If one isn't going to 'road' the unit, though, none of that is a serious issue.
The 3620 keyboard is a later vintage by perhaps 7-8 years, and accordingly, is in better shape. It's complete, works excellently, has a nice, smooth action. Both it and the synthesizer unit were fully realigned and calibrated when the VCO was replaced in 2007, and they're working magnificently. Not a 'collector piece', certainly, but if you want a 2600 that offers everything that that synth could have in store, this is the one you need."

"The name Trilogy of course (in the same vein were, for example, the Korg Trident, the ARP Omni 1/2, and the Moog Opus 3) comes from the fact that this instrument features three sections: Organ, Strings, and Synthesizer.
These 'Multi-Instrument Keyboards', as they were called at the time, were very popular among keyboardists - because back in the early 80s, "proper synthesizers" like the Prophet-5, Oberheim OB-X or Jupiter-8 were much more expensive.
The String section in particular sounds great.. very retro, and very similar to the classic ARP String Ensemble (Solina).
The Synthesizer section is big, brassy, and typically 80s-sounding. In all, this is an impressive (not only visually - it's very large and heavy) synthesizer, capable of vintage sounds unavailable anywhere else."

"This is without a doubt the best and most thorough book ever written on how to program and work with the Yamaha DX7II series synthesizer. A lot of the information here is applicable to all FM synths, but it was written specifically for the DX7II, and includes some things not included in the original DX7.
The particular book still has the three included “sound sheets” with all the audio examples. These plastic 33 1/3 rpm records have never been played and are in perfect condition and still attached to the book (see photos).
I am the original owner of this book. I bought it in 1987 when I got my DX7IID. I read it thoroughly in the first year and it has been on my bookshelf or in storage, untouched, ever since. There are exactly 14 pages where I highlighted some information (see photo examples), but other than that this book is in excellent condition.
What with the recently resegence in interest in FM synthesis, this book is still relevent and invaluable."

Roland Juno 106 Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer with Dual VCF/VCO ICs Modification and Flight Case
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"This Roland has been modified here is information about the stock setup and then info about modifications.
The Stock Juno-106 is a six-voice polyphonic and programmable analog synth with one digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) per voice. While classic monophonic syths used two or three oscillators to create a fatter sound(check mods below), the Juno-106 uses built-Chorus to fatten up its sound with dramatic effect. The nature of its DCO meant it was stable and always in perfect tune but still warm and analog. There is an excellent 24db/oct analog low pass filter with plenty of resonance and self oscillating possibilities and a non-resonant high pass filter. The programmable pitch/mod bender can be assigned to control the DCO pitch, VCF cut off, and LFO amount all at once or individually. There are 16 MIDI channels available and MIDI SYsEX data can be transmitted/recieved from all the sliders and buttons for total remote control and sequencing capability. A switch on the back of the keyboard next to the MIDI port allows the user to switch between three types of MIDI modes: KEYBOARD, HOLD, BENDER, PATCH or ALL DATA(including SysEX).
Fully restored with Mods: This unit has been Completely rebuilt, new DCO chips, and battery. and modified with a DUAL VCF/VCA ICS which give it a thicker full sound(the extra filtier/vco chips are located under the PCB) The keyboard has been completely re-graphic in purple and yellow with matching LEDS and dark walnut sides. It comes with a printed copy of the owners and service manual. A matching spec(other than color) keyboard also modded by Roger Gastrow now resides at Henson Studios in California."

Fully restored with Mods: This unit has been Completely rebuilt, new DCO chips, and battery. and modified with a DUAL VCF/VCA ICS which give it a thicker full sound(the extra filtier/vco chips are located under the PCB) The keyboard has been completely re-graphic in purple and yellow with matching LEDS and dark walnut sides. It comes with a printed copy of the owners and service manual. A matching spec(other than color) keyboard also modded by Roger Gastrow now resides at Henson Studios in California."

Just a heads-up, I will be including Reverb in auction posts moving forward. I've had a number of readers request them. To differentiate between Reverb and eBay I've created new labels for them which you will find at the bottom of auction posts. You can sort for whichever your prefer. The Auctions label of course will remain and include both.
Please note only the most interesting/rare items will continue to go up. To submit anything else, you have to be a supporting member of the site.

"A little jam on a prototype build for the Fasma 2016 Festival - DIY Synth workshop I did in Athens this April.
It's a 3 voice touch Relaxation Oscillator based on the CD40106 Schmitt Trigger.

"For the workshop I designed a pocket 3 voice touch Relaxation Oscillator based on the CD40106 Schmitt Trigger. Featuring 3 more modulation LFOs. Two controllable by potentiometers and one by a light dependend resistor. All sounds could be modulated simply by touching the pads, that would spell out FASMA."
