"Synthetic Music Systems M.A.R.S. (Modular Analog Rackmount Synthesizer) Synthesizer voice. In excellent condition, with just a couple of scratches from rack mounting. Currently $599 new at AnalogueHaven. Includes a homemade eurorack patch panel for bringing up to 8 patch points around the front of your eurorack system. (You'll need to come up with a hole in the back of your eurorack. Includes manual and cord (not
shown) and will ship in the original box. It's about 8 months old. The moog type filter sounds particularly nice, and both the filter and VCA can be overdriven for a nice warm sound.

The Mars (Modular Analogue Rack Synthesizer) is a highly versatile music synthesizer and forms the core of the SMS modular system. As a stand-alone unit it can create the sounds associated with analogue synthesizers: silky smooth filter sweeps, squealing lead lines and deep rumbling basses. Its open-ended architecture has been carefully designed for expansion. The front panel controls allow the five synthesizer circuits (VCLFO, VCO, VC, VCA, ENV) within the the MARS to be isolated; the jacks on the rear panel allow signal and modulation routing to be configured to your specification, allowing for true modular synthesis. The Mars 1u rack synth has 16 knobs on the front panel and 21 patchpoints on the back."
