8/4/23 Electrocomp EML 200 (flutes) + Roland CR-8000 (squirrel heartbeat) on undated cassette tape

video upload by Cfpp0

"This is an excerpt from an undated and unlabeled cassette tape from 2020 or 2021. EML 200 with a short envelope into its spring reverb, plus a kick drum from the modded Roland CR-8000 we used to have. I imagine a squirrel scurrying from tree to tree along the edge of Lake Waramaug. The video cuts right when the CR-8000’s congas kick in and the recording stops making any sense."

"EML made these in different configurations. Some had a synthesizer built in and a double sequencer panel, others had no synthesizer and a single 16 step sequencer panel. This one's an example of the latter. To see the full version, search our website for EML-400.

This unit was meticulously refurbished and is working great. All faders and switches have been cleaned and lubed. The power supply has been rebuilt (new electrolytic capacitors, power regulators, filter caps and solder reflowed). We replaced the panel mount male multipin connectors and made a new multipin connector cable, which will be included in this sale. The green cable in the photo isn't included - we just had that patched in to loop the sequence - any 1/4" cable will do. A few of the faders in the top section aren't quite zero at zero position.

7/22/23 DEMO: EML 200 (x2) + Ton Atelier Lauter eurorack EML 101 clones (for sale)

video upload by Cfpp0

"This is a demonstration of the (great) sound of two eurorack modules by Ton Atelier Lauter. They are clones of the EML 102 VCF and the VCA/ring modulator. Feeding them actual EML oscillators seemed appropriate for the demo and sounds good.

The note cards will tell you which mode the filter is in."

via this auction

"Ton Atelier Lauter is in Germany. I imported this VCF originally to use with my EML 200, which doesn’t have voltage control over the filters. Somehow the 200 got surrounded by DOT COM filters and Metasonix TM boxes and the Ton Atelier Lauter EML 101 VCF clones got sidelined (See my other listing for the EML 101 RingMod/VCA).

So it’s up for grabs. If you don’t know EML, but like that Steiner Parker Synthacon sound or that MS20 mk1 sound then you might like messing with this. Comes in original box with power cable."

7/19/23 SSL 1660 (The Matrix) & 1310 (Digital Delay) + Zerosum Inertia + EML 200 spring reverb

video upload by Cfpp0

"Testing out The Matrix and this recording resulted. The feedbacking of the 1310 is worth archiving here. At the end I pull the audio cable from the 1660 and it’s CV continues to squeak the Destructor Beam while the 1310 feedbacks.

The Matrix is based on the Triadex Muse. Have to learn it, but this will be a cold dead hands module."

"EML SYNKEY 2001 Programable Synthesizer SYN KEY Vintage Rare. Sold for restoration. I do not know anything about these. It had one card. When I plug it in there is one red light -that comes on. It is very faint. You can barely see it. It flashes. The wood body was wobbly so I replaced several screws and nuts (see photo) I know nothing about the electronics part but do know about framing/replacing nuts/bolts."

EML Electrocomp 500 v2 (prototype)

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

via this auction

According to the listing:

"Here we have a one of a kind rarity that came from a synth museum. It has been serviced and verified by tech that this was in fact a prototype of a v2 of the Electrocomp 500 that was in the works when EML stopped manufacturing and selling synthesizers. There are 4 vco's, 2 filters, 2 envelopes and 2 VCA's I will be uploading some more photos as soon as I pick it up from my tech.

Being that this is a one of a kind piece I am not super eager to part with it. I may consider reasonable offers but this is definitely one for the collectors out there! Tech has gone over everything and everything is in working order."

Electronic Music Laboratories EML Synkey (Model 2001) SN 10788

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

via this auction

"One of EML's final products. Super rare bird, almost impossible to find in the wild. The Synkey was one of the very first synthesizers to offer patch memory over it's unique plastic punch-card system. Released in both programmable and non-programmable versions. This is the programmable model, however it does not include any punch-cards.

Features 13 oscillators along with 13 pushbuttons (semitones) on the front panel which allows one-finger chords to be played by selecting which intervals of the chromatic scale. Super cool feature.

Single multimode voltage controlled filter, capable of continuously variable response from lowpass to bandpass to high pass (a feature of most EML synths). ADSR envelope generators were provided for the voltage controlled amplifier (which was capable of being switched into a ring modulator mode) and the VCF; however, the decay knob controlled both the decay time and the release time. A single low frequency oscillator (referred to by EML as the "modulation oscillator") was provided, with five selections of waveforms.

This synthesizer was just serviced, along with an new AC power cable. Rare, rare, rare!
Serial number 10788"

"Original vintage 70’s EML Electrocomp 500 analog synthesizer in excellent playing condition!

This fine example has just been fully serviced, recapped, calibrated, and is ready for another 50 years of weirdness!

For the uninitiated, these old EML machines are beasts! They were designed for possibilities, rather than performance, and can get really, REALLY far out in terms of sound creation, and experimentation. Sure, you can make leads and basses, and classic Moog/ arp sounds, but you can also go deeeeep. This one was actually used in a high school science lab to teach electronics and synthesis, and still has the school name, and serial inscribed on the walnut side panel!

Super rare, super cool. Enjoy!!!!"

Electrocomp EML Model 101 SN 212

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

via this auction

"Rare and professionally maintained Electrocomp Synthesizer Patch Cable Electric Piano Model 101. This particular EML101 was owned by a famous jazz musician/ music theorist/ author and used on tour to some degree. It was professionally serviced throughout the time of his ownership before he died. It was likely used on several famous jazz LPs, as well.

The EML 101 is a duophonic semi-modular synthesizer with 4 (!) VCOs and a continuously variable multimode filter (lowpass – bandpass – highpass). It has normalled connections which can be modified by patch leads, similar to an ARP-2600. The instrument’s sounds is superb, it has a wonderful character of its own.

According to Peter Forrest, this instrument was EML’s most successful product – about 1000 'Model 101' were made … THIS IS MARKED 212, WHICH IS EARLY IN PRODUCTION."
