Kraftwerk's Sennheiser VSM 201 Vocoder


Published on Dec 5, 2011 DJ DNA (Urban Dance Squad)

"This is the very vocoder Kraftwerk used on their albums Computerworld and Man Machine, I purchased it from their Kling Klang studios in 1999, it is modified and came with a 19" Telefunken midiunit that connects via a SCSIport in the back of the vocoder, rerouting the 20 bands of processed signal, thus enabling xtra controls (presumably for liveshows)."

"Two identical and independent fully analog synth voices geared towards bass and full range percussion. Kicks, snares, toms, hats, etc.

Recently serviced and fully functional. Casing for the SY-1 shows some light regular signs of use for a nearly 40 year old synth but is in great condition. Drum Pad heads show little wear with no holes or tears in the heads. You will have a very hard time finding a complete SY-1 package in better condition."

Two Noise Engineering Cursus Iteritas Percidos With A Sinc Bucina & Terci Ruina


Published on Apr 19, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"The Cursus Iteritas Percido is a Cursus Iteritas oscillator with a built in envelope that can modulate the oscillator and a Master Blaster knob that sends the envelope to every parameter at once, resulting in tons of modulation for interesting percussion and synth sounds. The Cursus Iteritas Percido oscillator core generates its own wavetables in real time as well as aliasing which is harmonically related to the pitch of the oscillator. The envelope is an attack/decay envelope with controls for envelope length, shape and slope, this allows you to adjust the envelope without changing its timing, or change its timing without changing its shape.

We also used the Sinc Bucina which is a low-pass gate with built in envelope and adjustable filter depth in only 4hp. Of course we needed some distortion which is provided by the Terci Ruina that is actually three distortions in one!"

StyloBuzz MkII - Stylus Synth


Published on Apr 19, 2019 Rarebeasts


via Rare Beasts on Etsy

"The StyloBuzz MkII is a small stylus synth that allows you to design loops and then play them on a keyboard shifting the sound as you go.

Sounds are made by playing notes on the keyboard, but if you want you can record a noise loop that will be played and repeated as you hit each key. Just place the stylus on the first key to enter loop mode.

It's so simple to play, the minimalist design means it super easy to make awesome sounds, no need to rush for a 200 page instruction manual to play this instrument.

The StyloBuzz has 4 main controls;

* The keyboard: press the stylus on any part of the keyboard to play a note, it's not fixed to any key and just represents a range of sounds.

* The speed control: this knob adjusts the speed at which the loop is repeated. It gets faster a you increase frequency making some very weird noises at the top.

* The frequency control: Normally the speed control but becomes the frequency control when the lowest note is played with the stylus, entering loop mode.

* The third control is the write button, when pressed in loop mode it writes a sound to memory which is then replayed next time the loop is run.

The output is via a 3.5mm stereo socket which can be plugged into earphones, a computer sound card, mixer or amplifier.

Stats:
Output: 3.5mm socket (Use with earphones, a computer sound card, mixer or amplifier)
Power: USB (Plug into a computer, phone charger or wall socket). No internal battery."

KORG MINI POPS 7 (1972) - Drum Machine with a Carry Handle

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
Published on Apr 19, 2019 Synthesizer Home


via this auction

"The Korg MINIPOPS 7 is a very rare rhythmbox with fantastic analog sound! It came out in 1973. Jean-Michel Jarre has used the KORG MINIPOPS on his legendary album „OXYGENE“ and "EQUINOXE". You can mix together the desired rhythms by pressing down 2 or more keys simultaneously. The combinations sound interesting - a source for interesting, weird beats and inspiration, which are not available from other sources.

Some sounds are unique, as the classic Jarre - like 'Quijada' sound is not present on any other Korg Mini Pops device which makes the model 7 highly collectable. (Don't buy the other models looking for these Jarre sounds - they don't have them.)

220 V version from Germany. Rare rhythm machine from the seventies.

Condition:
The Mini Pops 7 is properly working. It is in great condition with normal traces of use (see the original pictures). It comes as seen on the pictures.

In the videolink above I demonstrate the unit I am selling here."

New pressure sensor mounted in a Minimoog (first demo)


Published on Apr 19, 2019 kovalmoog

"This is a new pressure sensor system, installed under Minimoog's keys.
The outstanding feature of this sensor is a very smooth touch along a large physical travel (5-6mm), with a lineal and proportional modulation across this movement.

This is a work in progress since I'm adding more destination parameters to be controlled by the sensor's variation.
Until now, PWM on osc. 1 & 2, pitch on osc. 2 & 3, VCF cutoff, and hard-synced oscillators 2 & 3 can be controlled from the pressure variation.
Right now I'm adding a senoidal LFO, with its amount controlled by the pressure, applied to 3 oscillators, VCF and Final Volume.

This pressure sensor can be mounted in almost all analogue synths, even polyphonic ones. Its implementation only depends on the keyboard physical structure.

btw, this unit (S/N 6016) was signed by Bob Moog himself on june 17th, 2004, in Barcelona (Spain), during a series of visits he did in Spain, England & Japan, to promote the re-launching of Moog brand, after the Big Briar era."

Ensoniq Fizmo Transwave Digital Synth

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This is an amazing synthesizer, you could probably create an entire soundtrack on this alone. It is in excellent shape and had a new battery/Regulator installed.

The Fizmo is a 48-voice synthesizer which uses 2nd-generation Transwave technology to create very organic sounds unlike any other synth available. Every programming function has its own dedicated knob or button, useful 4-character LCD display. The Fizmo features an Arpeggiator and 24-bit VLSI effects with 41 algorithms, including a Vocoder and the ability to process incoming audio through the Vocoder and effects.

Transwave synthesis uses wavetables of sound data with layered variations in harmonic structures such that their timbres progress naturally from one end to the other. This allows for sounds to modulate over time, or by velocity, wheel, pressure, or any number of other options.

There are 2 oscillators available for each of the 4 presets allowing for 8 unique oscillators at the same time, not to mention individual LFO and Noise generators for each Osc. Another wonderful feature is the ability to stack up to four individual presets together into one sound and map them across the keyboard. This synth is very capable of some very complex sounds.

The built-in Arpeggiator has 118 presets which can be easily edited to your liking, and 26 real-time control/editing knobs make mutating your sound a pleasure. All controls may be recorded in real-time to an external sequencer."

MARION SYSTEMS MSR-2

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Ultra rare used Marion Systems MSR-2 Modular Synthesizer rack. This one has 2 voice boards installed, total of 16 analog Oberheim voices in a tiny rack! 16 part multitimbral too! This little guy is powerful, look up the specs. The mod matrix is deep. This is not the watered down ProSynth which looks similar. This has to be the smallest analog rack with 16 voices. Tom Oberheim built very little of these. This synth sounds amazing, I haven't heard anything online that does it justice. It also has an input to run audio through the Oberheim filters. Its running the latest OS. Its easy to edit from the front panel but there is also an editor that you can download. This synth shines when you layer the sounds. For example, you can run a pad and bell patch at the same time and it sounds like a analog D-50. You can also put the voices in unison and then detune for massive sounds. It responds to velocity and aftertouch which is awesome. Comes from a smoke free home. Comes with the original rare power supply."

"I got this keyboard from my husband. He bought it on sale of some music studio. I do not understand anything in keyboards and I don’t know if it works correctly. I can only testify that it turns on and all displays show some words and numbers. Also, all keys are pressed and sliders move. Outside it looks good and has no physical damage except minor scratches. It has a power cord and nothing more. No speakers. No international shipping. Sold as is - no any warranty, no return, no refund.

P.S.I just contacted my husband about condition this keyboard, since there are a lot of questions. He said that he didn’t have time to do this, but in the middle part there are a some keys not working. But if you connect another keyboard to it via (mini?) port, then everything will work correctly."

"The synth has a lovely warm sound particularly suited to bass and lead but can also produce white/pink noise effects and percussive sounds. It also has pulse width modulation.

This one is in excellent condition other than one repaired key - that has been glued. It still works as it ought to however.

This is an early version of the synth so it does not have the small trigger switch behind the modulation wheel. The patch-bay is its secret weapon allowing for interface with other Korg synths and for processing external signals. I’ve included a patch lead to get you started."
