Mattel Optigan with 12 Discs - Model 35012 Mediterranean

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

via this auction

"The Optigan has a unique sound which is attributed to the optical discs containing pre-recorded backing tracks and unique lead tone for the keyboard portion. Each disc has five accompaniment tracks which can be triggered. Usually a beat, various instrumental accompaniment & often more percussion. Each disc is loaded with unique and very musical content.

Includes Twelve Discs! Original discs are rare and very sought after- so this is a rare opportunity to pick up a stack of them along with a sweet Optigan!

Pop Piano Plus Guitar
Guitar in 3/4 time
Dixieland Strut
Latin Fever
Gay 90s Waltz
Bluegrass Banjo
Sleigh Ride
Majestic Pipe Organ
Movin
Hear and Now
Big Band Beat
Classic Guitar

Playing condition:
Working - the keyboard works great, all but two keys play (the highest and lowest) are not making sound. A couple of the 'chord organ' buttons on the left side are intermittent but this is something that can be repaired with contact cleaner.

More about the Optigan:
If you are not familiar with the Optigan, the sound is not 'hi-fidelity' but is very unique and is loved by many admirers familiar with what it does!"

Nastiest Drum Machine Ever? (Mattel Synsonics Drums)

Published on Mar 22, 2017 HardtekStudios

"This thing has actually been collecting dust for a while, so I decided to pull it out and give it another go. It has a really unique sound, due to the cheap, but ANALOG sound engine inside. The pads don't work so well, so I just focused on the programming. This was recorded strait into Logic with absolutely no pre or post processing, so this is the true sound of it."

Buddy Rich on Synsonics Drums?

Uploaded on Aug 22, 2009 KRO222·142 videos

"1980's Commercial for Synsonics "Drums" (from Mattel). Buddy can even make this toy sound good but also proves just how far he'd go for the right paycheck. Still a neat blast from the past."

Bee Gees Rhythm Machine Synthesizer

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

via this auction

"This is the Bee Gees Rhythm Machine Music Synth made by Mattel in 1978.

This synth was made famous by Kraftwork who used it on the song Pocket Calculator and also on some of their live concerts.

It features a 20 note keyboard and is a monophonic synth with a square wave type sound. It also has disco, latin and pop rhythms. When played at loud volumes the rhythm will mix and merge with the keyboard sound.

On the back there is a volume and pitch control. With the pitch you can make some interesting sounds while playing. It includes a built in speaker but also has a 1/8th inch audio jack so you can plug it into an amp.

It is battery powered and uses a square 9v battery (batteries not included!). The battery cover is missing.

It is fully working. It has some marks, scratches and scuffs to the plastic. The buttons and keys show some discolouration. The sticker above the keyboard and above the battery compartment shows some scuffing. The silver front shows a few slight bubbling marks. This can be seen in the photos."

Vintage 80's Synsonics Drum Machine 5450 SN 727-4600 with Original Box

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

via this auction

"Synsonics Drum Machine (Model 5450) with Box and Accessories. This Synsonics "Drums" drum machine/synthesizer is in excellent working order and very clean (seems to have been never used). This machine was marketed as a toy, but can produce some really cool sounds with the tone wheel and other features, and has the audio outputs of a upper-level drum machines (1/4 in. headphone jack, stereo jacks, ACC jack, and input for a 9 volt DC power source -- was not originally included, nor included in auction) plus on-board speakers. Comes complete with original stereo cables, users manual, and Synsonic brand drumsticks. Original box with flip open window is included, but has some wear (creases, window is slightly loose, etc). This item, especially this model, is very hard to find with everything here, would be awesome for any collector of 80's/90's toys, but also an amazing instrument for any musician making new but rarely heard vintage beats..."
