"Rare, made-in-Connecticut Electrocomp EML-101 Synthesizer in EXCELLENT **ORIGINAL** Condition. A few minor chips on the case and it's missing the handle (what else is new?) and a few of the latches are new BUT it hasn't been modded and has ALL its original knobs and the graphics are crystal clear. Only a college inventory number is scratched over the "ElectroComp" log (see in pictures).
It's been professionally renovated by www.analogsynthservice.com including ALL NEW KEYBOARD BUSHINGS and sounds and plays great. The keyboard has a few uneven keys but otherwise you have a thick "scary sounding" 4 oscillator monster with patch bay capabilities. It's temperamental for sure and NOT a synth for the faint of heart. But it's a living, breathing analog beast that, plugged through my tape echo, provided me with hours of lost-in-space musical bliss. I have a seriously killer CMS renovated 2600 and I'm hardly ever playing so it's time to let the 101 go to a good home be it studio or stage."
Wish I could afford it. I've played with one a long ago, and thought very highly of it. Listen to it on Pere Ubu's 'The Modern Dance'.
ReplyDeleteThere's always a Mattson Mini Modular. :) The MMM was based on the Syntar which was similar in sound to EML. See this post and the Syntar label in it for more. Also see the MMM label for video and audio of the MMM system.
