"modded sh09... this instrument has been stripped of paint and allowed to develop surface rust, has been relabeled with a label maker, and the slider holes glow with a red backlight. it looks badass on stage. most of the sliders were replaced several years ago, a couple were not and feel stickier than the new ones. the switches all feel old and crusty but still all work.
the stick part of the pitch stick is snapped off but it still works fine. the envelope generator is capable of clangorous fm type sounds because if you have both the sustain and decay set to a low amount it starts to retrigger variably.. its a neat effect. i dont know if its a malfunction or a mod, but i like it."

That's fun, I like that old, battered look
ReplyDeleteMakes me think of the LAG keytar Jarre was using in 1988
i'd buy that for a dollar! no, literally.
ReplyDeleteUgh... rust.
ReplyDeleteI glanced at it and thought it was one of those synthesizer cakes.
ReplyDeleteI think I know what the SH stands for.
ReplyDeleteLooks great, has character. I just hope the source machine was beyond salvage :)
