Powertran Transcendent 2000

via this auction

"Designed by Tim Orr of the legendry synth company EMS. Products he designed were used by Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk and many other early electronic musicians. Also this was joy Divisions/ New Orders first ever synth!

Sold as kits from the late 1970’s into the early 1980’s in an electronics project magazine. I have all the circuits and set up info to supply should you have to get this serviced or repaired at any time. All parts are still available as its just standard uk components throughout the synth

This was recently serviced and had almost all of the op-amp ic’s and transistors upgraded to a more modern type. Some capacitors were changed and all key contacts cleaned and lined up. No double triggers or missing key hits at all. Condition is very good considering its age with just some fading to the black panel finish but all still looks great! Word of warning as if you turn the resonance up full it will go into self Oscillation as its ment to but should be used with caution!

Packed with features for a very wide range of sounds and effects. Nice bubbly sounds, nice bass lines which remind me of the korg MS synths. Very hard to find synth and becoming very collectable!
