"Multivox Pulser Hillwood M-75 Mx-75 Dual Voice Analog Synthesizer Dual VCO's 1977"

via this auction

"This is the original Japan made Hillwood Pulser M75 Dual Voice Synthesizer also known and marketed in USA as Multivox MX-75 Dual Voice Synthesizer. This analog beast sounds really unique.

Unlike other Pulser/Multivox/Hillwood synths you never seem to see the rare M-75 for sale.
This one is in great working shape it has been completely professionally serviced, tuned, calibrated and cleaned inside out. This synth has some scratches on the case but other than that is all-original and in 100% working condition. It sounds amazing.

Its in really nice cosmetic condition. All knobs switches and buttons work perfectly. All keys are shining white."

Hillwood SY-1800

Update: From Mikael Lindgren via AH:
"Hi there,

It's a dual-voice synthesizer that dates from 1979 or 1980.
The same synth was also released as the Multivox MX-75 dual-voice synthesizer.
I'd say with 99% certainty that these were made by the Hillwood company in Japan.

here's a couple of pics. Aside from the different logos they look pretty much identical.

This example says Multivox on the front panel but "Pulser" on the backpanel:
(the ID plate reads "Model: MX-75")
http://hem.bredband.net/linmik/multivox-pulser_MX-75.jpg

and the front panel on this says "Pulser":
http://hem.bredband.net/linmik/Pulser_M-75.jpg
"

Update: Via slabman in the comments below. More on Hillwood featured in this Sound on Sound article titled A Tale of Two String Synths.

From the article:
"Flipping the lid on the [Multivox] MX202 provides a bit of a shock. I expected to see either the Roland or Multivox name on the circuit boards -- but I was disappointed. Instead, I found the name Hillwood, a little-known Japanese manufacturer who were active in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This was a company founded by a Japanese gentleman called Kazuo Morioka, whose name translates as First Man Wood Hill. Morioka thus gave his name to the Hillwood synths and keyboards released throughout the mid-to-late '70s, as well as the short-lived manufacturer Firstman. Furthermore, Morioka was working in partnership with other manufacturers, rebadging some Hillwood products as Pulsar, and developing yet more for another Italian company, Solton. But where did Roland fit into all of this?"

I checked my image stash for the Hillwood M-75 posted below. I didn't find any, but I did find some shots of the Hillwood SY-1800:

"This is the Multivox MX-75 Dual Voice Synthesizer, also known as the Hillwood Pulser M75 Dual Voice Synthesizer.

Unlike other Multivox/Hillwood synths you never seem to see the rare MX-75 for sale.

The Hillwood Pulser was developed and built by Hillwood (aka Firstman) in Japan. These synths were then rebadged as Multivox and sold in America. This is a very early example: the Multivox name was on stickers placed over the Pulser name on the front and back; later examples had Multivox painted directly onto the case.

This synth has some scratches on the case but other than that is all-original and in 100% working condition. It sounds amazing."

On this one someone peeled the Multivox sticker off the back revealing the original Pulser name (the Multivox sticker on the front remains). More evidence of this being a very early model is that the information on the model/serial # plate on the back is hand-written.

PULSER M75 Analog Synthesizer 1977 | HD DEMO

Published on May 21, 2020 AnalogAudio1

M75 or MX-75?

"(c) 2020 by AnalogAudio1

I played the Pulser M75 partly with delay effects from a Korg SDD-3000 (right channel only). Be careful with headphones, it's raw analog power ;-)

The Pulser M75 was manufactured in Japan in 1977 by 'Pulser Corporation'. It's identical to the Multivox MX75. The keyboard has aftertouch ('touch sensor effect') which can control vibrato depth, volume, pitch, growl and such things. It's a monophonic synthesizer with 2 VCOs, 1 Lowpass Filter, 1 VCA, 1 LFO, Sample & Hold, Noise Generator and presets, which you can modify. It's not really free programmable, but you can do some nice things with it: great leads, basses and FX. It has a very pleasing vintage analogue tone. A cool and rare synth!"

"Time Synthis" a tour inside the Ensoniq SQ-80 Hidden Waves

Published on Oct 5, 2012 by Jack Girouard

"An electronic piece called 'Time Synthis' explores some of the hidden waves of the SQ-80 "Cross Wave Synthesizer". Photo slide show of pictures I took showing the steps of the upgrade as well as other shots inside and outside. This is a very special synthesizer, super clean inside too! (its not for sale).

I bought this synth from an ebay member: thomasb93. I don't want to give a source away, but he does a great job refurbing synths! I found this one, and was well worth it!
Here is a description of what he did with this SQ-80: "All buttons, wheels, faders, keys and disk drive work as they should. It has a new 3V lithium installed. The power supply passes the correct voltage at all test points and the CEM 3360 analog filter sounds great. This synth also features polyphonic aftertouch. The insides of the synth look new and the key contacts, foam pads and keyboard pcb look new as well." I feel proud to own this well cared for instrument! Thanks Tom!

This is an improvisation done on two tracks, all SQ-80 with a Lexicon MX-300 doing some effect processing. Note: these are patches I've created, the upgrade to 1.8HW doesn't give you a new set of patches, it just gives you 52 more wave types that can be used for the three oscillators. They simply add to the list of waveforms simply as numbers 75-127. The patches used in this video used hidden waveforms 78, 79, 80, 82, ."
