"Only a few of these were ever produced, hand made in Italy by engineer Tony Light.

This particular unit was made in 2013 and only used a handful of times. Everything is in perfect working order electronically and the case is in great condition. As it is handmade, you will see a small split in the bottom right corner of the wood case where the edges attach. It was like this when I originally bought the unit from Tony Light, so he sent me a replacement case if I was ever to need one, but the current one is sturdy and hasn't shown any signs of needing to be replaced. I am including the original unit, the replacement case, and the US power adapter in this auction. Due to the fragility of the item I am selling it as is.

This is a very unique sounding synth unlike anything else currently out there! It is also highly interesting for anyone involved in modular synthesis as it has many inputs and outputs for external signals. Just let me know if you have any questions - all specs are below:

DETAILS
The Leploop consists of two VCOs; the first with selectable wave form, the second with FM (source: VCO1, EG1 or LFO). Ringmodulation is possible, too. In the mixer section you can route and mix the oscillators. Of all sections the VCOs have the most modulation possibilites, even inverted envelope 1 or external CVs.
Further sound sources are a noise generator and the Cassa, a heavy bass drum with hard distortion, nasty distortion and attack. An external audio input is available, too.

Modulation sources: two attack-decay envelopes, a LFO with three wave forms, a flexible sample & hold generator and the sequencer. These can be routed by switches to almost all sections.
The sequencer has four tracks, memory and adjustable sequence length, depending on the number of tracks.

The filter is a resonant 24dB lowpass with modulation of cutoff and resonance. The input can be noise, the oscillator mix, the cassa or the external signal.
VCA1 is modulated either by the LFO, the 1st envelope or the S&H. noise, VCO1 or VCO2 can be used as audio sources.
VCA2 is modulated by the 2nd envelope only and it's input can be the filtered signal or the first VCO.

The final mix of Cassa, the 1st and 2nd VCA and the filter is set in a separate section.

CONNECTORS
S&H outputs: CV and Gate
sequencer outputs: CV and gate
LFO out, Cassa gate out, clock out
VCO2 and oscillator mix (3.5mm outputs)
CV inputs for both oscillators
CV outs for both AD-envelopes
external audio input
MIDI Input (5 pin DIN socket)
Audio output, Cassa individual output (1/4" sockets)"
