"You found it! The ugliest and sweetest sound synth ever made.

This thing can be so brutal with it's digits waveforms but so beautiful with that sweet analog filter.

Truly the best of both worlds.

This machine was sold originally in 1986 and comes with the receipt from London where it was first sold, how cool is that?
This unit has the factory MIDI."

video upload by 123synthland

"We meticulously refurbished this beautiful Oxford Oscar synthesizer and sold it to a customer. Part of the process was reloading the factory patches. Here’s a brief demo of those factory sounds, which we reloaded via midi from a sysex file. This file was previously available online but suddenly disappeared. Fortunately, we dug through an old computer and found a backup. Buy meticulously serviced vintage synths that work like new at tonetweakers.com and please sign up for our newsletters while you’re there. Thanks for watching and reading!"

2022/06 - Volca Harmonicon


video upload by Stereoping

"A little song with some diy-gear. Opening with the Volca Sample running the Pajen firmware which allows endless drones with AMP DECAY fully clockwise. 5 notes are mixed with an external Midicontroller. The Moog #Subharmonicon plays along running through a DIY Axoloti-based Reverb/Delay. Second part played by #Summit, #Subsequent37, #OSCar and #TD-3. The Drums are coming from an old Organ voiceboard which is triggered (and powered) by the DIY-808. Other DIY gear used: Midi-RGB-LED lamp for visual feedback of beat&bar, trigger sequencer synching the Subharmonicum and another axoloti based insert-FX for high-feedback-phasing and high-Q-lowpass."

"The OSCar was a synthesizer manufactured by the Oxford Synthesiser Company from 1983 to 1985. It was ahead of its time in several ways and its later versions were among the few mono-synths of its time to have MIDI.Around 2000 were made."

ARP Odyssey & Avatar, Roland RS202, Seq Pro One, ASM Hydrasynth 6. EP6 In search of the coolest synths. Featuring: 1972 Moog Sonic VI, 2020 Arturia Polybrute 7. "I believe I am up to 54 synths purchased and 34 sold in the last year. I keep saying I'm done but......

- All sound demo segments are played with absolutely no plans for the patches I am going to use or what I am going to play. I'm just winging it. Obviously.

- All audio is recorded dry, straight from the synths. Any effects you hear are internal effects built into that synth.

- All synths and everything else were purchased at regular prices. I have never been given a demo model or even loaned something by any company. I bought all this stuff.

- No, I'm not rich. The buying spree started with selling some synths I already had. Then when I wanted more stuff, I sold off more collectibles I already owned. The synths I decided not to keep then funded more synth purchases. I run a record label by myself and also work a full-time normal job. I worked my ass off for all this stuff.

- Yes, I know I have the Imovie skills of the average 8-year-old. I've never even owned a smart phone.

- This project has been really fun and taught me that the most sought after "classics" are not automatically for everyone. It also taught me that youtube synth demos and comparisons are not the final word. Nothing beats sitting down with an instrument and playing it.

Jordan Rudess plays the Syner-V modern virtual synthesizer from Syntronik 2


video upload by

"Watch Jordan Rudess plays one of the classic synths of Syntronik 2 - the Syner-V. The Syner-V is based on the Digital Keyboards Synergy ii+ with its wide range of unique soundscapes and glassy, metallic tones. Although it did not officially use the term 'FM' due to Yamaha’s trademark, the Synergy did employ the same basic technology of the GS and DX series as well as the Synclavier FM synthesis."

Jordan Rudess plays the OSC-V modern virtual synthesizer from Syntronik 2

video upload by

"Watch Jordan Rudess plays one of the classic synths of Syntronik 2 - the OSC-V. The OSC-V is based on the Classic analog-filtered digital monosynth sounds of the Oxford Synthesiser Company OSCar, a British classic. Sometimes called the 'British Minimoog,' the OSCar can sound deceptively analog and ultra-fat despite its digital oscillators."

Additional Tone Tweakers Listings, also on Reverb

"Like nearly all the high end vintage analog synths we sell, this item has been METICULOUSLY disassembled, cleaned inside and out, FULLY serviced by professionals who’ve been servicing and selling vintage synths for more than the last 2 decades, and systematically tested multiple times over a long period to ensure it’s working exactly as it should. No BS. No ebay surprises. We’re perfectionists and don’t cut corners. Although this instrument came to us in relatively good shape, we want our items to be better than the rest and invested *many* hours of tech time plus parts costs to fully overhaul this unit so it would be clean, working like new again and as reliable as possible for its next owner. This was a serious investment of time, love, and money, and was definitely worth the effort and is of course reflected in the higher than usual price. If you’re looking for a great sounding example of this model that works just like it should without needing to invest hundreds or thousands of dollars in tech fees and waiting from weeks to years, this one should make you very happy."

"Oxford Synthesiser Company OSCar synthesizer. SN007

Fully Serviced with new battery and cosmetic improvements.

This is an early model with no MIDI but can easily be retrofitted if required. As it has no MIDI it’s more stable as it doesn’t have the piggyback board.

Exceptional oscillators and a unique sound. This is the best monophonic synthesiser and by far the best bass sound I’ve ever come across."
