"EMS unit with many features like double oscillator, pitch shifter, levels on every bands...etc... great sounds"
Update: Looks more like a Synton Syntovox 221 as seen in previous posts including demos, but note the different layout. I don't beleive I've seen this particular model before. If anyone knows what this is feel free to leave a comment.
Update 2 via the comments:
"I am assured by EMS that this is NOT an EMS build. After I complained to reverb the seller changed the description and calls it a "custom projekt". It is built around an EMS 2000, so good luck if it ever needs a service or repair. The seller still has it branded as EMS even though it is a codged together unit and NOT EMS. You can't put a Ferrari engine in a ford and sell it as a Ferrari, can you?"
And via the listing:
"this a rare opportunity to obtain a classic EMS sounds
and add many features like double oscillator, pitch shifter, levels on every bands... more a classic pin matrix.... this is a custom projekt based around an original EMS 2000 vocoder pcb board"
Note the custom faceplate. The original EMS 2000 is completely different. You can find some pics in additional posts mentioning the EMS 2000 Vocoder here.
Does not look like any EMS vocoder known to me
ReplyDeleteIt does look more like a Synton, but I can't find that particular model.
DeleteI'm thinking being 16 but not 20 bands (like the EMS 5000, Syntovox 221 or Haible) - eliminates those units. Maybe it is something like an EMS 2000 that someone modded out extensively? Maybe it's a custom EMS Rehberg 3000, which is related to the 2000 but far more panel controls and this being a one up on that?
