Note the listing has ended. Saving the pics and details for posterity.

"This is an ARP Avatar that has been modified. The plaque mounted on the console says 'Alvin the Unique, Custom Built for George Choksy by Jim Chandler of Chattanooga--1982'. The estate we purchased it from was the Choksy estate.

We have ran signal through the synth and were able to get various sounds from it. It does need some cleaning and some care. We weren't able to fully test all functions, due to us simply not knowing exactly what to test for. But it does produce signal and the guitar did trigger various effects.

The modules that are outlined in blue are the modifications. I've included pictures of the inside of the console to show the quality of the modifications. We did not pass signal through any of these modules, as they appear to need to be patched together like a traditional synth.

This item includes the original owner's manual, five(5) ARP foot pedals, an AC cable, and the flight case. The hex pickup is not included.

The flight case does have a smoky odor to it. The sliders on the synth are all functional, but most are missing the grip. One of the sliders, the HPF Cutoff Frequency, is broken off flush to the top of the console. It does, however, still slide and function."

How Technology is Changing the Way We Make Music | A Conversation with Seth Cluett

video upload by ITSPmagazine

"Guest: Seth Cluett, Director of Columbia University’s Computer Music Center | On LinkedIn: / seth-cluett-7631065 | Columbia University Computer Music Center Bio: https://cmc.music.columbia.edu/bios/s...

Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast & Music Evolves Podcast | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com/

Show Notes

Music and technology have always shaped each other, and few places embody that relationship as deeply as the Computer Music Center (CMC) at Columbia University. In this episode of Music Evolves, Sean Martin sits down with Seth Cluett, Director of the Computer Music Center and Assistant Director of the Sound Art MFA program at Columbia, to explore the center’s rich history, its role in advancing music technology, and how it continues to shape the future of sound.

The Legacy and Mission of the Computer Music Center

The CMC is housed in the same 6,000-square-foot space as the original Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center, which dates back to 1951 and is one of the world’s oldest university-based electronic music research facilities. This was the birthplace of early electronic music, where pioneers learned to use cutting-edge technology to create new sounds. Many of those musicians went on to establish their own studios around the world, from Egypt to Japan.

The center has played a role in major milestones in music history, including the work of Wendy Carlos, a former student known for Switched-On Bach, the score for Tron, and The Shining. The first piece of electronic music to win a Pulitzer Prize was also composed here. Today, under Cluett’s leadership, the focus remains on creativity-driven technological innovation—allowing composers and artists to explore technology freely and push the boundaries of what’s possible in sound and music.

One of the center’s guiding principles is accessibility. Cluett emphasizes the importance of lowering barriers to entry for students who may not have had prior access to music technology. The goal is to make sure that anyone, regardless of background, can walk into the studio and begin working with 80% of its capabilities within the first 20 minutes.

Exploring the Labs and Studios

The episode also includes a tour of the labs and studios, showcasing some of the center’s groundbreaking equipment. One highlight is the RCA Mark II Synthesizer, the world’s first programmable music synthesizer. Built in the late 1950s, this massive machine—seven feet tall and weighing over a ton—was instrumental in shaping the sound of early electronic music. The system worked by punching holes into paper to control sound generation, similar to a player piano. While no longer in use, the CMC has collaborated with iZotope to model some of its effects digitally.

Frequency Central Florian Synthesiser - lovechild of Roland and ARP, birthed by a mad Englishman!

video upload by Frequency Central

"Here's your first look at Frequency Central Florian Synthesiser – what if a Roland SH-2 had a modular baby with an ARP Odyssey, but the midwife was a mad English scientist?

Florian is our first dual VCO synthesiser! The name is a tribute to Florian Schneider-Elsleben, who passed the same week that we conceptualised this synthesiser.

Florian features the following sub-modules, all behind a single 42HP panel:

2 x XVCO, our legendary discrete VCO based on the Roland 100M design
Sub oscillator offering -1 octave square, -2 octave square, and -2 ocatve pulse
Digital ring modulator, taking VCO1 and VCO2 as it's X and Y input.
Voltage controlled filter offering lowpass, bandpass, and highpass responses, based on Roland 700 multimode filter
ADSR based around AS3310 chip, offering normal and inverted outputs as well as CV of level
ARP influenced VCA with ADSR/gate/drone options
ARP influenced A/R generator with looping option
LFO1: triangle
LFO2: saw/triangle/ramp with sync option"

Bad Gear - MBase

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. Frequent viewers of this channel are well-aware of the fact that I - personally - love all gear, that this show is merely a reflection on the hate of others and that even some of my favorite electronic musical instruments aren’t safe from the relentless ridicule of the Bad Gear treatment.

Today we are going to talk about Jomox MBase. This synthesizer with a strong focus on the nether regions of the percussive backbone of an arrangement is not only an integral part of my sonic arsenal - most of the criticism is also well-deserved."

ANA Patch - Voltage Controlled Voltage Processor

video upload by Mystic Circuits

"Here is a simple yet incredibly useful patch that wasn't possible with ANA 1 ~ using ANA 2's MIX output for attenuvert/ offset style voltage processor. Despite not being a revolutionary design, these sorts of processors are often the glue that holds a patch together. When ANA isn't performing other duties it can still be a vanilla utility that enables other modules to really shine.

On top of that, the MIX output gives us the ability to voltage control the knob functions of a normal attenuverter by focusing on the input processing section. Using the multiply input we are able to voltage control our attenuverter and with both addition inputs we can voltage control the offset knob."

Beyond Clouds – Spotykach x Touch 2 FX Sound Experiment

Spotykach will be released in small batches starting in June 2025. Make sure to join the Synthux Community to get notified when it's out - www.synthux.academy/join

Spotykach is a looping playground for hands-on sound exploration and performance. It revolves around three distinct modes, each channeling a different era of looping: the hypnotic tape manipulations of the ’60s, the razor-sharp slicing of the ’90s, and something entirely new—emerging from the intersection of chance, texture, and time. With two decks, 12 responsive touch pads, CV and MIDI connectivity, plus built-in modulation sources."

"A piece created using the Moog One, Ambient Ø, and tape loops. Glitched piano tones and lo‑fi synth textures gently unfold into an ambient soundscape.

On the Moog One, I send MIDI from the DAW to play harmonies, layering live melodies while adjusting the chorus effect parameters.

On the Ambient Ø, I shape simple synth tones with its built‑in effects and filters, then route them through the GENERATION LOSS MK II for a lo‑fi character.

For the tape loop, I pre‑recorded a piano performance, glitch it with the NTS‑3 looper, and add delay using SPECULAR TEMPUS."
