"Mac1 (Macbeth) modular mono synthesizer, custom built by Ken Macbeth in Edinburgh, 1997 - see photos for signature. Featuring the best components available, built to an uncompromising standard utilising many Moog components and grade 'A' devices...
This synth sounds absolutely incredible. The bandwidth is huge. The highs are are incredibly smooth, and the bass is thunderous. Truly amazing. I'm selling to finance a big mixing project. Easily controllable over CV gate - we use a channel via the Novation bassstation. Very cool!
Description (outer casing):The synth comes in two units. The Mac1 is rack cased (enclosed) to 19", as standard. The second unit (this connects to the primary Mac1 via an umbilical cord - included) is open backed and does not have a back casing, but does have a thick front panel (also rack-mountable) - please see photos. The Mac1 powers both synthesizers (once the umbilical cable is connected).
