"The Technics SY-1010 is a quite simple monophonic single oscillator analog synth with a lot of character. It sounds a bit like the Roland SH-9 and SH-101. Check the video I made.
It was never sold outside of Japan. The unit for sale was serviced and converted to europe 220v-240v so there is no need for an stepdown converter.
Cosmetic it has some scuffs here and there but overall it looks very nice."
"Demo of a recently serviced (and converted to 230v) Technics SY-1010 analog mono synth.
Only produced for the japanese market you don't find many out of there.
Very simple design but very nice sounding, a bit like Roland SH-101.
The VCA initial gain control, continuous oscillator pitch adjustement and fast LFO give this little synth a lot more possibilities that you would first think of.
Extremely compact and lightweight too.

"This is ambient music with my Technics WSA1. While I am in progress to programm a bank of 64 amazing custom patches, I also start create the first song with it.
I used for the recording the following FX chain:
Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe - GFI System Specular Reverb 2. Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated
The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks, while a specially prepared track exported an run through a tasty chips electronics GR-1 for granular time streching. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and iZotope Ozone on the master track."
"Technics sy 1010 analog synth, 100% original Japanese domestic model, works perfectly. A single VCO, LFO, VCF, ADSR, VCA mono synth with great routing, ala the moog micromoog, with a very similar filter.
This specific unit was cleaned, tested and is in good condition. Has some scratches here and there but nothing major. Keys are a bit yellow.
This is a Japanese (110v) unit, free 220v adapter available."
"This was Technics flagship digital synth and delivers rich and unique sounds that stand up to any big name synth of the mid 1990s. Deep bass, punchy drums and ethereal pads and sweeps will delight anyone into deep synthesis and sound design.
Acoustic Modeling Synthesis, a method to combine PCM waveform drivers with custom digital signal processing modeling resonators, is a way to simulate the sound process of acoustic instruments. It gives players full control over the parameters for the driver and resonator, and is a great system for anyone who wants to move far beyond the preset sound sets.
Unique sound combinations are possible and these can also be crossfaded by key or velocity. For anyone used to synthesizers that were restricted to their presets and ROM samples, this was a revelation. Technics were also able to accomplish 64 notes of polyphony."

"Powerful physical modeling engine, can hold its own when lined up alongside newer modular stuff. Dream synth for vaporwave, idm, experimental, new age."
"Technics WSA1, 1 of only 600 in existence. Comes equipped with a Gotek USB floppy emulator filled with a library of sound banks...
Released in 1995 and in addition to classic analog and digital synth sounds, the WSA1 is very unique in its acoustic modeling capability, competing with the tech of the time from the Korg MOSS and Yamaha VL1.
