"Vintage Baldwin Syntha-Sound Synthesizer from the early 1970s. These are incredible synths that I’ve found to be quite unique. They have built in spring reverb, speakers, and an interesting percussion effect. This one has been serviced and is fully functional."

Brother GX-151 aka Baldwin Discoverer DS-50 Analog Synthesizer / Drum Machine SN 111892 w/ Extras

You can find dmeos of one in previous posts.

"Incredibly cool piece of RARE vintage analog goodness. This is a pretty-much-mint condition 1970 Brother Auto Emillion GX-151 Synthesizer/Organ.

Before it was the Baldwin Discoverer DS-50, it was the Brother Auto-Emillion GX-151, manufactured by the Japanese printer company, who later sold the rights to Baldwin.

Made by Brother Industries, Nagoya Japan, and sold in the US under the name Baldwin Discoverer. Which was a favorite of Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys, and later Radiohead, Gorillaz, Beck, Haley Williams - Tiny Desk NPR, etc...

This one’s definitely for the collector, but could also be a fully functioning addition to the keys collection of any recording studio looking for those extremely rare, cool retro vibes.

This analog synth/organ has a number of great preset sounds, as well as the potential to create your own sounds combining different sound voices.

This machine has the ability to record user-created arpeggiated or chord sequences, and this function works perfectly. One saved sequence can be stored on a microchip which is working perfectly, even after powering off. It is also one finger or live automated if desired. Similar to a Suzuki Omnichord, but with a synth/keyboard.

There is a Mic input which can be volume controlled on the interface, expression pedal input, Line out, and Line in, Input jack for DC 12V.

There's a great built-in analog drum machine, with great preset rhythms, reminiscent of the Roland CR-78, and two different rhythms can be played at once, creating nice new combinations.

This is a great sounding machine with tons of character.

Again, it is in collector condition. Comes with the original Instruction Manual, the two original music stands, and complete with the original dark grey Brother carry bag.

Minus one tiny scratch on the left end piece. Every function, knob, and slider is in working condition. It’s been in storage for a few years, so some of the pots are scratchy, could use some canned air or contact cleaner. All in all, it’s in fantastic shape.

Purchased in Ireland, Comes with the original European 250v Brother A/C adapter. I’ll include the after market 12v USA adaptor pictured."

Baldwin DS-50 Discoverer 49-Key Synthesizer SN BC2802487

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


via this auction

"The Japanese Baldwin Discoverer DS-50 came out in mid/late 70s (pre-MIDI) and features control over the synth sounds plus a built in drum machine. All original knobs are present. Every single function tested and works excellent as intended, this includes every single key. And all keys are level and have a good almost weighted feel to them.

The auto-accompany can be turned on or off and split at the keyboard (rhythm vs melody). There's a built in speaker but it can be bypassed using the audio outs. This makes it easy to implement in your home studio.

They really built instruments to last in the 70s. The DS-50 is made of metal and really well constructed. Original power cord is included. Also included is the hard to find original owners manual as well as the detachable music rack and original travel case."

Baldwin BC-1 Electric Organ w/ Solo Strings, Flute, Sax & Clarinet Section

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


via this auction

"Baldwin BC-1 Electric Organ from the 1960s. This is an extremely rare unit and it has been documented that less than 100 were even made. This one that I am selling is completely fully functional and sounds psychedelic as hell. All notes are perfectly in tune, and there is absolutely zero idle noise making this unit completely studio ready. It sounds incredible with a Vox Continental and RMI electric harpsichord character. The vibrato is super dreamy sounding. This unit is in fair condition cosmetically and has clearly seen honest use. There is general cosmetic wear and tear around the unit that is consistent with age. A proprietary power cable adapter is included. The lid is in good condition with the original handle and latches that are still in good shape."

A polyphonic in 1974? THE ANSWER


video upload by AutomaticGainsay

"Have you spent a week wracking your brain and biting your nails in regard to the previous video that proposed the preposterous idea that there was an instrument capable of polyphonic synthesizer sounds the year before the modern polyphonic synthesizer became a thing? Well, in this video, THE ANSWER IS REVEALED."

Update: also check out the Conn Electric Band from 1974.
