Description in Googlish:
"Formant modular synthesizer 2000 as ARP / Moog, like new Hello, dear button Dreher, here is the unique opportunity to build a truly professional structure formant system generations. It is in 5 months of work by the developer built Helmstedt for me. The housing birch multiplex together Beizung and painting comes from Studio 38 from Kiel. The pots are made of American manufacturing (alpha), only the Sequenzerpotis had reasons of space German. The buttons are of Cosmo made especially for me. The sequencer buttons are of Tyco. The screenplay feeling "is astrein - really better than the mini-Moog and not with the normal button boxes to compare. The 3.5 mm jacks are of Miranda, they are the only ones who really tired and not flutschen crochet. The front panels are, of course, from etched aluminum. The fittings are Artware status of Thomann. The power supply has a toroidal transformer. During the manufacturing work we are from analogue keyboard on a midi keyboard with digital / analog - umgeschwenkt converter, so had the keyboard housing subsequently modified, which is consistent with cosmetic Macken was to acknowledge - there are some scars left behind is still decent work and painted. The Synth housing at the top and bottom are flawless, the pictures are from this afternoon. The device is also compatible with normal midi keyboards play!
All modules are made from Helmstedt. Only the analog instrumentation to control the tensions tax, I have built and deployed. Everything works fine. The sound possibilities with this system are virtually unlimited, I have three quarters after a year's work so much not even try, because I lacked the time. The sequencer itself is incredibly refined constructed and extremely powerful. Off the schnöden VCO> VCF> VCA paths is a synthesizer a smooth divorce reason. I have him to dubbing of animation films used some artists have their own animations so entertained and lots of fun with that. Now I agree with a studio community, where the device is misplaced.
This device is very vintage, very sexy and very professionally. It is an excellent studio unit, because of the selection of its components still experience the next century, if it is treated decently. The performance with the modulation wheel is first class, the keyboard of Fatar plays very pleasant and fast. The sound is ..... all-encompassing. The device can be easily butterweich on everything from schmatzend to hammerhart krachend, it may take a backward beaten Gong crackling in slivers "morph" it is really incomprehensible universal. It has everything a very own character, I would rather the overall sound direction ARP lane as the direction Moog ....
The system consists of: 5 VCO, VCF 24db to 12db VCF, 2 x 12db DoppelVCF, 5 ADSR, 1 Divider, 1 x 3 blender, 1 x 6 mixer, 4 LFO, ring modulator, Noise, Waveform Processor, modulation sequencers, the Envelope Follower Triggers external devices (guitar etc), multinationals, CV-source, BUS for CV / Gate, Midi Interface (twice), dual-CV-inverter, 4 VCA lin, 2 VCA exp, sequencer with 3 x 16 steps, all three rows with its own Trig-out. And a Hall Module (VERY analog) with Hall spiral. Probably I nochwas forgotten. I still do about this: A VCA exp, an ADSR and a double-LFO the same series (same front, the same buttons), an acquaintance of mine built. They also work properly. There is only enough space for 2 modules - then it's brim. ;-) 60 (!) Patch cables (mainly from Doepfer) are also included in the offer (various lengths).
Of course, is that this book Synthy, as well as the current documentation with the main changes from Helmstedt.
I think the pictures speak for themselves.
This system is expected to be unique in the world, I am aware of no other formant, with these high-quality components is built.
Since the device is quite large, I will not send - this collection is called for. It fits in any standard combinations. Anyway is a small introduction to the technique is useful - only the output is, for example, mixers so tricky, "the people are hardly set.

The device must be within a week after the auction ends to be paid. The collection does not necessarily during this period.
The device can be tested any time with me and look to be taken."
