Korg Mono/Poly MP-4 Vintage Analog Synthesizer w/ Signed Gig Bag

"1980's Korg Mono/Poly MP-4 synthesizer in excellent condition and in perfect working order. The Mono/Poly is a 44 key "mono-polyphonic" analog synthesizer manufactured by Korg from 1981 to 1984. This model is the sister synthesizer to the Korg Polysix, with four highly stable voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs), a 4-pole, self-oscillating low pass filter (LPF), several modulation capabilities and pseudo-polyphony (paraphony) functionality.
The four VCO's can be shared in four-voice Polyphonic mode, or linked in Unison for a versatile monophonic lead. Each VCO has its own level, tune, and waveform type control. Waveforms include triangle, sawtooth, and variable pulse wave. It has a great VCF (filter) section as well as two envelope generators (one for the oscillators and one for the filter), and there are also two individual LFO's which can be used to modulate the Pulse Width, Envelope and Arpeggiator independently.
A very flexible and fun synthesizer, other cool tricks up its sleeve include chord memory and an effects mode in which oscillators have a variety of ways to be synced. The built-in arpeggiator and sequencer can run all 4 VCO's at a time or cycle through each voice per note! There's also portamento, CV/Gate, VCF and VCO mod inputs, a white noise generator, and the pitch/mod wheels can be assigned to control LFO, pitch, or the filter.
This synth was imported direct from Tokyo, and as such runs at 100v. All functions are stable and functioning as intended on USA power, 120v "on paper," but typically ranging between 110-120v.
Cosmetically, this synthesizer is very clean, with only light scuffs on the wood framing the keyboard. All original knobs are intact as are the four rubber feet on the bottom of the enclosure. The original soft Korg-branded green carry case is included, along with some text on the exterior referencing the band Earthshaker."

Update2: You can sign up to be notified with the Kickstarter launches here.
Update: some info on the module via https://synthtech.com:
"INTRODUCING THE E520 HYPERION, A STEREO EFFECTS PROCESSOR
Kickstarter campaign launches on Nov. 15th and the KS page will activate on Nov. 10th. Estimated shipping: late May 2020.
OVERVIEWThe E520 Hyperion is a mono/stereo in, stereo out effects module. It is 48HP wide and uses less than 300ma of +12V and less than 70ma of -12V.
Powered by a 480MHz ARM Cortex M7 CPU, the E520 has 64MB on on-board SDRAM for recording up to 6min of stereo audio at 48KHz sample rate. The LCD screen and optical encoder navigation uses the same 'shallow' menu scheme of our E352 and E370 modules, with the addition of 4 'soft keys' for selecting options without having to leave the main page.
The E520 uses a premium audio path not usually found in Eurorack. Crystal Semi CODECs, TI OPA-series op amps and WIMA film caps in the output stage are used along with low-noise, dedicated LDO voltage regulators for a clean, full soundstage. Audio conversion uses 48KHz sample rate, 24bit resolution with a line or synth level setting.
Please note this is a 'living document' and subject to modification at any time over the next 8 weeks.

Quick And Glitchy Launchpad + iPad Jam
Published on Nov 10, 2019 Perplex On
"Just a quick improv using the iPad and a connected Launchpad Mini. The Launchpad is used to play ravenscroft275 piano app with the help of an app called GridInstrument. It’s served with beats coming from Playbeat routed through Effectrix. The piano is also sent to a fx track with yaleD with the right launchpad buttons mapped to the hold time and replay feature of the app. Enjoy!"
WMD/SSF Multi Mode Filter 1/2: sound characteristics (LMS EE)
Published on Nov 10, 2019 Learning Modular
"The MMF is a two-pole multimode filter that packs a lot of features into a very small (4hp) package. This first movie focuses on the sound of the MMF, and in particular compares to the four pole transistor ladder filter in the Moog Mother-32 for reference – the difference is more than just the filter slope and amount of frequencies beyond the cutoff that are cut:
00:00 introduction
00:25 overview of features
00:58 sound comparison to Mother-32
06:16 bandpass mode06:55 high pass mode
07:18 frequency modulating the cutoff
08:03 frequency modulating the resonance
There is a second movie that explore the Ping input of the MMF; that is available in the expanded version of my Eurorack Expansion course (https://learningmodular.com/register/...), as well as to most of my Patreon supporters (https://www.patreon.com/LearningModular)."

SUNDAY ACID (with Cyclone TT-303 mkII + TT-606) #TTNM
Published on Nov 10, 2019 THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES
"Got home from a run through the park and felt like jamming on the acid boxes! MORE INFO BELOW
♥ SUPPORT: http://bit.ly/ttnm-support ♥
Another try at playing my two TB-303 clones at the same times plus the Roland Drumatix TR-606 clone by Cyclone Analogic. I only added a little bit of the Zoom R16's Delay and Reverb to the bass lines.
I got really tempted to buy a Behringer TD-3 yesterday by the way, but I could resist XD I assume their prices on the secondhand market will be even better than they already are new. As I obviously don't really NEED another 303 it's fine to wait or maybe even not buy one ... we'll see. I will however continue to work on my Axoloti companion to the 606 and 303, adding effects like overdrive, distortion, delay and reverb into the little DSP box to add some grit, punch and roominess to the analog audio.
Questions or comments? Go ahead and post them below! :) Thanks for watching! Check out my channel for more Synthesizer Music.

Jen SM 2007 String Machine Paraphonic Synthesizer
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Here is one of the first 'stringer's ever made. The incredible Ensemble effect of this Jen String Machine is a part of the big reason this type of synth exploded in popularity throughout the 1970s and early 80s.
This is one of the synths that launched the movement. The reason this is a movement launching icon is the ensemble effect. This could be the start of and the definition of the ensemble effect.
What they all missed later on was the also amazing 'Organ' preset of this SM 2007. While Ensemble is the definition of the languid liquid triple phaser chorus and lept out of this synth and into 50 others, Organ is maybe even cooler-- taking part of the phaser's lfo speed and slowing them into a superb 'Slow Ensemble'.
Then there is the psychedelic superb 'Solo' preset which sounds like the growly summation of all Farfisa organ presets. At times it is my favorite but it's hard to ultimately choose a favorite when you've got 3 banger presets instead of one.
These Jen String Machine are one of the rarest synths. We might see another one become available in the next 5 or 10 years. Or we might just never see another.
Among collectors of the String synth-- a specialty where ownership is power, imagine the opportunity of owning perhaps the only shining well calibrated original out there. The next big string machine plug in might just be based off this exact machine.
Super clean, healthy and original inside. Time capsule condition in there, and Oh! The beauty, the magnificent rarity of capacitor and resistor coloration. It's like that Planet Earth BBC show-- the episode called 'The Deep'.
This runs at 220v."

"Those 2 are a perfect pair. I didn't use any video effects by the way. The camera started shaking and produced these nice shutter effects by itself. ;)
Lyra goes through the M-Resonator. Octatrack adds some delay and Eventide Space is used for reverb (Quasar preset).
