EMS (Cornwall) Ltd VCS3 mk2 2017 SN 1527
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this listing
"This particular VCS3 was built by RObin Wood, who fitted most if not all of the recommended modifications.
On the back there's an extra gate input (1/4 jack) and next to the patch matrix there are 6 mini jack inputs (6 patch pin to mini jack cables come with the synth) for:
- glissando
- envelope follower
- pwm osc 2
- pwm osc 3
- signal invert
- resonance
So these can be modulated/ modified from the patch panel or external signal.
Other mods include:
Switch for hi / lo frequency on all 3 vco's
Oscillator sync (with potmeter to determine amount up to hard sync) for osc 1 and 2
Filter slew switch
Filter 18/24dB octave switch
Potmeters for the already mentioned glissando and envelope follower
Trapezoid invert (0 at 12 o' clock)
Trapezoid time x 10 switch
The VCS3 is in perfect condition, works like a charm and it 's such a pleasure to handle a 'vintage' synth with new controls. Don't let the year fool you, the sound is everything you can expect from an EMS Synthi. (I have owned several over the years and to my ears there is no difference between a vintage mk2 or this EMS Cornwall VCS3. An original Putney, mk1 power supply, from the early years is a different story ofcourse. By now I tend to prefer the fuller sound of the re-issues or newly built synths over the sharper sounding originals.... but ofcourse, that's a matter of personal taste. And it's a real EMS synth!"

EMS Synthi Groove
video upload by d4nnyp
"EMS Synthi (Modified by Portabellabz)
All sounds are the Synthi - no external effects, recorded as a stereo pair.
This patch is using the filter in self oscillation as the bottom end and Oscillator 1&2 synced and into Ring mod.
FIlter cut-off and Oscillator 1 are modulated by Osc3 (filt Square / Osc Triangle), Trapezoid out modulates Oscillator 2. Noise out is modulating Osc1&2 both noise and the Portabellabz S&H mod are used.
It's a fun patch to play."

New Pete Townsend Synth Studio at the University of West London
This one is in via John L Rice via John Fisher.
via The University of West London where you'll find the full article.

The collection includes some of the most influential instruments in the development of electronic music. It comprises 12 principal synthesisers including the ARP Model 2500 (1970), used on 'Quadrophenia', and the rare and sought-after Yamaha GX-1 (1975), one of only 10 made with a retail price of over 60,000 USD on release, plus many other instruments played by Townshend throughout his career.
'It’s my hope that the studio will be a creative space for learning, collaboration, experimentation and play, inspired by the musical and artistic legacy of Ealing, an area integral to the development of British music in the 1960s,' said Pete Townshend."
Pictured: ARP 2500 & EMS SYNTHI 100.
One more "Synth Museum" to add to my destination list. :)
