Cool packaging.

"This is the faithful clone of the Pearl Syncussion SY-1 Drum Synthesizer. Professionally built by Low-Gain Electronics. It is #207 out of a total of 300 made, so they are rare. If you are looking at this listing then you probably already know what it is. Look up some videos online to hear what it sounds like if you are curious. It is in excellent cosmetic and functioning condition. CV gate for trigger and pitch. Original box and a power supply will be included. No other cables in the pictures are included."

Pearl Syncussion SY-1 Original Vintage Drum Synthesizer

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

via this auction

"Pearl Syncussion SY-1 original vintage Drum Synthesizer with power supply, recently serviced and had internals cleaned by Thesis Audio Service in Wichita, Kansas, and given a clean bill of health, excellent working condition, cosmetics are fair. All switches, sliders and trigger inputs working great. This is the real deal, not a clone. What you see in the pictures is what you get. Item has typical minor cosmetic imperfections for a unit that is 40 years old but overall very nice. This unit is a lot of fun, especially when triggering by either pads or drum machines via the 1/4 inputs. Pads not included (I never had them)

There is no MIDI ! It sucks that I have to state this but some people are not aware that some of this vintage gear is Pre Midi. If you are looking for midi triggering, buy a clone."

SY-1 Pearl Syncussion clone - fixing the PSU noise

Published on Jul 2, 2018 Stereoping

"The first batch of the brilliant SY-1 Syncussion clones from the human comparator seemed to have an issue with the negative power supply (TL497 inverter), soiling an ennoying high frequent noise into the audio path. There are several discussions and suggestions for fixing in different discussion boards. On learning from Shruthi filter schematics i came across another voltage inverter (LT1054) and wanted to give it a try. To my own surprise it worked right away, the noise completely disappeared, the unit still worked (unbeleivable!) and the new inverter keeps perfectly cool. I built a test setting with a switch allowing to flip from the original negative supply to a breadboarded LT1054 supply. You will directly hear and see the difference.

Second half of the demo shows some pictures how my alternative negative supply looks like now. It is soldered directly in place after removing the TL497 and some unused components. The background music is of course from the SY-1 (after PSU-conversion) together with the impOSCar.

There is an article on my site with more details about this hack."

The listing is from the author Peter Forrest who states this is likely the last set.  These are great books and imo the most comprehensive.  Click on the pics to get an idea of what they are like.  Peter also has other items listed including The Museum of Synthesizer Technology and Synthesizer von Gestern II.

The Human Comparator SY-1 Rev 2 - Pearl Syncussion Analog Drum Synth

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

via this auction

"This listing is for a fully working and calibrated 2019 build of the SY-1 Pearl Syncussion analog drum synthesizer clone using the Rev 2 (2018) PCB and enclosure by The Human Comparator, aka zthee...

The Pearl Syncussion is a legendary two-channel electronic drum module released during the Disco era which contains an amazing array of awesome percussion sounds within its easy-to-grasp interface. Its 6 oscillator modes, selectable by rotary knob, allow a user to emulate bells, toms, snares, claps, and more (triggerable manually or via analog trigger input) or totally space out using the onboard LFO and S&H modulation. Though original units are hard to find, they are still heavily in use to this day due to their obvious usefulness for techno, electro, etc.

In 2016, The Human Comparator released an instantly popular, near-identical clone of the original Pearl unit, thus making these legendary sounds available to the masses once again!"

"Psycox Syncussion SY1M - A clone of the much loved Pearl Syncussion Drum Synth

Recently completed build of the this amazing drum/percussion synthesizer. I bought 2 kits and will be keeping one as the sound is amazing.

This model includes MIDI as well as CV/Gate to interface with external gear.

I have built many synth kits and eurorack modules over the last 4 years and have used the best components for this kit, so buy with confidence. I also offer a 1 year warranty on my DIY builds so if there are any issues you can send it back to me for a fix.

Here is more info from the kits manufacturer:

'The Syncussion SY-1M kit is a faithful reproduction of an extremely versatile drum synthesizer from the late 1970's. With 6 Oscillator Modes per channel it is capable of a wide range of sounds, from the classic 70's disco "peeoww" to tight bells, thunderous Kick drums and Gnarly Bass sounds. Whilst retaining the original CV and Trigger inputs, the addition of per channel MIDI controlled Triggering, Pitch and Decay greatly expands the possibilities. The kit contains 2 Printed Circuit Boards, a Powder Coated and Screen Printed Steel Case, 16 Slide potentiometers, 16 Slider Caps, 8x BCM857 Dual Matched Transistors, 47uH RF Choke (necessary for the power supply filter) and a pre-programmed ATMEGA328.'"
