Yamaha SY2 Analog mono synth

via this auction

"This is a Yamaha SY2 Analog Mono Synthesiser Keyboard.

It was the 2nd Synth which Yamaha produced in the early 70's.

It features 28 preset patches (see photo) which can modified with a ADSR (attack, decay, sustain & release) envelope, a low & high pass filter with low and high resonance controls, vibrato (speed & depth), pulse width (alters ration of pulse height to width), portamento, tone blend and pitch blend. Using these controls you can get a massive amount of different sounds.

The SY-2 also features aftertouch where vibrato, wah wah and volume can be altered by pressing the key with varying pressure. The sensitivity of aftertouch can also be altered.

There are also a foot controls where if you connect a foot controller (no included) you can alter volume and wah wah.

On the back it features 2 output connectors RCA phono and 1/4 inch audio with low and high level switch.

This is a fantastic synth that produces great analog sounds that would be great for the studio or live on stage. It is also a great chance to get one of these hard to find synths. It also featured in the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind!"

"Here are some of the features of this custom C64:

-Custom paint job in fire engine red.

-MSSIAH Vinyl Keyboard labels: full digital color prints that show the functions of MSSIAH

-MSSIAH: The MSSIAH is a midi cartridge for the Commodore 64. It has a suite of applications that you can use to play the c64 via midi. I controlled mine with Ableton Live 8. Worked like a charm. http://www.8bitventures.com/mssiah/

-SID2SID: An additional circuit board to add a 2nd SID chip. I have two 8580 sid chips installed. They each have a separate 1/4" output. It gives you 6 voices of polyphony/6 tracks in MSSIAH Sequencer and Drummer apps, as well as mirroring the output from your first SID chip to your second SID chip in MONO and Bassline modes, to give you stereo output. http://www.8bitventures.com/sid2sid/

-Video Output Mod: RCA Composite Video Out. Just plug an RCA cord into the screen of your choice, from this output, and you can see the MSSIAH program in action.

Vaco Loco Zira Now Available

via Paul Maddox of Vaco Loco

"My first synth since the Monowave, Zira is now available to buy (http://VacoLoco.net/order.shtml). It comes fully assembled and in a perspex case, you just need to supply MIDI, power (9V-12V DC @300mA) and a Stereo 3.5mm Jack. The just plug it into your mixer and off you go!

Think of Zira as a pocket sized monowave. Zira has the following features

* Two oscillators, each with 48 wave forms, a sub oscillator and hard sync
* Analogue Lowpass 24dB/Oct filter. Zira uses the NJM2069AD (New old Stock) chips to give a stunning warm and rich filter sound.
* The VCA is part of the NJM2069AD and is a low noise, high quality VCA.
* Two ADSRs, one for the VCF and one for the VCA
* LFO with 4 waveforms, with delay, single shot mode and four routing destinations.
* All parameters editable via MIDI CC
* 64 Patch memories

I only have a very limited supply of NJM2069s, so grab them whilst you can as Zira won’t be available in this format again. You can purchase one from here.

Multi-tracked demo of Zira playing Depeche Modes 'See You'"

All synth sounds except the drums.

Impakton synth for iOs - demos

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. Impakton synth for iOs - demos by BeepStreet

From BeepStreet, the makers of Sunrizer and iSequence

"Impakton turns any surface into a playable percussive instrument. You just slap your desk like a real drum, the transient acoustic signal is fed into a physical modeling engine and turned into the desired sound. That makes Impakton an extremely expressive instrument. Drop a coin on the desk, select any of the membramophones presets and you will hear the sound of the coin dancing on a membrane.

Features:
Physical modeling + frequency modulation + noise shaping synthesis.
Multimode filter
LFO and input velocity can modulate any parameter
4x4 loop recorder
Recording quantization and metronome
Reverb, delay, chorus, flanger and phaser effects available on the send bus

The app requires headphones.
The app will be available for iPhone 4,4s and iPad 2,3 devices.
Estimated release date: July 2012"
