Nicks World of Synthesis - 6 OSC Mini Synth

via this auction

"Hand made 6 oscillator mini synthesizer

I have been making synthesizers for over 10 years but this is the first time I have made anything to sell. To see all my work go to nicksworldofsynthesizers.com

The 6 knobs tune the oscillators and the keys switch them on. In normal mode it can make simple melodies and harmonies.

There is a switch that makes all the oscillators sync to the first oscillator. This has the effect of making the oscillators lock to the nearest harmonics of the first oscillator and makes some very strange harmonies.

The chaos depth knob makes all the oscillators attempt to sync to each other. The result is quite extreme unpredictable noise and sonic convolsions.

The circuit is descrete transistor which give the sound a rich analogue quality. The case has a nice vintage industrial design with engraved lettering and phenolic moog style knobs."
