Cavagnolo Exagone XM 64 walkthrough


video upload by Robotussin Vintage Synths

"The super-rare Exagone XM 64 made by a French accordion company called Cavagnolo in 1982. Only 20 of these are thought to have been built, though the company also made some versions with accordion controls (around 80).

It's a two oscillator monosynth that was used by Depeche Mode, though who knows what happened to the other 18. This one is owned by the man behind La Mirage Records (lamiragerecords.bandcamp.com), who kindly let me play around on it.

Full walkthrough in the video, with lots of mistakes and faffing around – apologies for that, it was my first time getting hand on the synth.

Thanks!"

You can find a demo of one here.

"Ultra-rare and unobtainable French Monophonic synthesizer with chromatic keyboard (according to very rare figures, 25), the others having been produced with accordion keyboard (according to rare figures, 75 produced). The figures are uncertain, and testify to the rarity of the object.

Depech Mode owns one and uses it in the Delta Machine EPK.

The synth has been tested and verified by Vintage Synth Repair in Paris and is in excellent condition.

The synth is integrated with its fly-case, it's not an addition, it's designed that way.

The memory has 64 locations which, once saved, become static."

Note the pics include the keyboard version and the accordian keys. Not sure if the listing includes both or just random pics. The don't appear to have been featured on the site previously, as you can see in the small handfull of posts featuring Cavagnolo here.

You can find a demo of one previously posted here.

"CAVAGNOLO EXAGONE XM64 is definitely one of the rarest combinations of an old French analogue! According to the Cavagnolo website, only 25 versions of the composite keyboards were produced and another 75 with accordion keys, Depech Mode owns one and uses it in the Delta Machine EPK) The Cavagnolo EXAGONE XM64 is a flammable monophonic analog synthesizer manufactured in France in 1982 Some features: 2 VCO with SUB OSC and many waveforms (includes very cool and powerful PWM which can be modified by LFO!), VCF, LFO 1, LFO 2, LFO DELAY (a kind of repeating LFO), EG, ADSR, NOISE, PORTAMENTO, the great OSC Sync... 64 memory locations to save and recall tuning patches! CV / GATE IN OUT, filter control and more ... for universal external control. What about the sound? The Cavagnolo Exagone XM64 sounds like a mix of a minimoog and the Roland System 100 for some warming sounds, but it can also make very original drones due to its clever LFO guidance facilities. The CAVAGNOLO EXAGONE XM64 is perfect for the musician who wants the music of Moog Roland and other sequential circuits, and the CAVAGNOLO EXAGONE XM64 is fully serviced: it is in perfect working order and in excellent cosmetic condition! It is a 220V model."
