"This is an extremely rare music production system, that to my knowledge is the only one of its kind in the country [Australia]. It has done minimal work and is overall in excellent condition. The spec of the machine is as follows:16 PSV Voices
50 kHz stereo sampling
15mb of sampling RAM.
16 Multichannel audio outputs: These allow any of the voices to be routed to any outputs.
MIDI: 1 In 8 Out, in addition to the extremely rare Midinet option (16 in & 16 out) and supporting software interface. This allows the graphical assignment of the MIDI matrix (similar to an Opcode Studio 5) and the ability to use the Synclavier's digital sequencer (memory recorder) to run numerous midi gear.
5 ¼ inch floppy drive: The system uses this only to run the boot program at start up.
Sound library - The system comes with 2 x 9 GB drives full of some of the best samples ever recorded of a large range of instruments, from orchestral, synthesizers, vocals, percussion and foley sounds.
Software: The machine can also be operated via an interactive screen display of all the VPK functions. In addition, there is also an EditView program that allows graphical editing of arrangements, similar to early versions of Cubase.
Computer: The machine is interfaced using an Apple PowerMac 7100/66 in excellent condition. This computer is the last of the NUBUS Macs and is required to run the Midinet NUBUS interface card and all the original NED supporting software. The unit also comes with a modern LCD monitor and rare mouse.
Velocity Pressure Keyboard: The VPK is in excellent condition aside from some slight wear in the yellow screen printed strip above the memory recorder panel. There is also a small cosmetic crack in the piano finish next to the ribbon controller; however this in no way affects the function of the unit. The keyboard does however have a problem with the rotary encoder dial. At the moment it will only allow parameter changes in one direction. From what i understand the fault is most likely in the potentiometer and i am currently in the process of trying to get it fixed before the end of the auction. Besides this, all other aspects of the system are fully functional and the dial can be adjusted on screen with the mouse, along with all the other keyboard functions.
Manuals: Included also are 3 printed manuals which provide a comprehensive overview of all the machines functions and capabilities.
Power: Being built for the US market the system also comes with a large 3000 watt step down 240 to 115 volt power supply.
Support: As mentioned earlier I purchased this system from Synhouse Multimedia in the US. Synhouse not only has a huge inventory of Synclavier spare parts, but also a vast amount of technical knowledge regarding the operation, repair and maintenance of these systems. As such, this system can be expanded well beyond its current specification.
The system also comes with the original NED road cases. For those interstate, i am willing to assist with the pickup of the system, but you will need to arrange freight and insurance etc."
