Nuremberg Wunderzeichen, 1561 C.E. EMS VCS3


video upload by Rhythmicons

"Upon learning that my new EMS VCS3 (Cornwall) was SN#1561, I looked up that year and learned that in Nuremberg, on Apr 14th, 1561, there was a report of a celestial phenomenon that was supposedly experienced by the townsfolk. This is an interpretive soundpainting performed entirely on the VCS3.

The primary source document is known as the Nuremberg Broadsheet. It was written and illustrated by Hans Glaser and translated by Isle Von Jacobi. The text describes an arial battle which ufologists have claimed is evidence of visitation by aliens. The primary source reads as follows:

'In the morning of April 14, 1561, at daybreak, between 4 and 5 a.m., a dreadful apparition occurred on the sun, and then this was seen in Nuremberg in the city, before the gates and in the country – by many men and women. At first there appeared in the middle of the sun two blood-red semi-circular arcs, just like the moon in its last quarter. And in the sun, above and below and on both sides, the color was blood, there stood a round ball of partly dull, partly black ferrous color. Likewise there stood on both sides and as a torus about the sun such blood-red ones and other balls in large number, about three in a line and four in a square, also some alone. In between these globes there were visible a few blood-red crosses, between which there were blood-red strips, becoming thicker to the rear and in the front malleable like the rods of reed-grass, which were intermingled, among them two big rods, one on the right, the other to the left, and within the small and big rods there were three, also four and more globes. These all started to fight among themselves, so that the globes, which were first in the sun, flew out to the ones standing on both sides, thereafter, the globes standing outside the sun, in the small and large rods, flew into the sun. Besides the globes flew back and forth among themselves and fought vehemently with each other for over an hour. And when the conflict in and again out of the sun was most intense, they became fatigued to such an extent that they all, as said above, fell from the sun down upon the earth 'as if they all burned' and they then wasted away on the earth with immense smoke. After all this there was something like a black spear, very long and thick, sighted; the shaft pointed to the east, the point pointed west. Whatever such signs mean, God alone knows. Although we have seen, shortly one after another, many kinds of signs on the heaven, which are sent to us by the almighty God, to bring us to repentance, we still are, unfortunately, so ungrateful that we despise such high signs and miracles of God. Or we speak of them with ridicule and discard them to the wind, in order that God may send us a frightening punishment on account of our ungratefulness. After all, the God-fearing will by no means discard these signs, but will take it to heart as a warning of their merciful Father in heaven, will mend their lives and faithfully beg God, that He may avert His wrath, including the well-deserved punishment, on us, so that we may temporarily here and perpetually there, live as his children. For it, may God grant us his help, Amen. By Hanns Glaser, letter-painter of Nurnberg.'"

"**** PRICED TO SELL!**** Original EMS Synthi oscillator board housed in a custom 63hp eurorack panel by Hinton Instruments. It has a few of the modifications Hinton carries out on synthi's such as shape c/v input, hi/lo range switch, variable sync with sync source switch. As far as I'm aware Graham has only done a couple of these. I'm the second owner. It has some rackrash marks from the previous owner. The module needs a strong stable power supply. I have used it with a Doepfer power supply for years and the module operates properly. But the module did not operate in a stable manner with Intellijel or 4ms power supplies. It also comes with a mint condition Klavis CalTrans eurorack module (boxed) which I have used in order to get a stable and wider pitch range. After shipment the buyer may need to calibrate the vco tuning. The oscillator board comes with its eurorack power cable. When the panel is not mounted in a case there is a very slight bend in the module front panel. When the module is mounted in a case the slight bend is not visible. 63hp."

"This special Synthi-E was in prior use by a music school for the blind and the panel was damaged by the sign language stickers hence we decide to be serviced. It just came back from service from EMS experts Portabellabz (Invoice included) - It was modified for 3,5mm jacks instead of the non-standard jacks. - A new power supply is also supplied. - As the Slider Keyboard was unable to restore, it was decided to put in just a 'panel' instead of the actual slider keyboard. Parts are included in the purchase if you want to convert it. - Due to the age, pots are still scratchy despite being cleaned, but this gets substancially better when used more often. Panel has been reworked by Audiocustom.pl - Service alone is around 1400 EUR worth."

ALPHALAB AUDIO: 🎛️ EMS AKS SYNTHI (1975) - Restauro completo 🎛️


video upload by SOUNDMIT

"Nel nostro laboratorio Alphalab Audio di Torino, specializzato nella riparazione e restauro di strumenti musicali elettronici, abbiamo avuto il piacere di lavorare su un EMS SYNTI AKS che proprio in questi mesi ha compiuto 50 anni!

Lo strumento presentava diverse modifiche eseguite nel tempo e non perfettamente funzionanti, il proprietario ci ha quindi commissionato un ripristino totale della macchina.

E' stata rivista la matrice, sono stati cambiati i pot con gli originali multi-giro, sono stati sostituiti alcuni componenti non più performanti ed è stata eseguita la taratura completa.

Anche la tastiera è stata restaurata e tarata.

Se hai un synth o uno strumento musicale elettronico da restaurare, affidati ai nostri tecnici!"

Googlish:

"In our Alphalab Audio laboratory in Turin, specialized in the repair and restoration of electronic musical instruments, we had the pleasure of working on an EMS SYNTI AKS that just recently turned 50!

The instrument had several modifications made over time and not working perfectly, so the owner commissioned us to completely restore the machine.

The matrix was revised, the pots were changed with the original multi-turn ones, some components that were no longer performing were replaced and the complete calibration was performed.

The keyboard was also restored and calibrated.

If you have a synth or an electronic musical instrument to restore, trust our technicians!"
