"This vintage analogue synth from 1970/80 is in full working order. There were a number of faults which required attention. A number of ICs and a transistor were replaced. The whole synth was then re-aligned according to the instructions in the manual, using a digital oscilloscope. The whole system was then tested and is now working perfectly.#

The original manual is included as is a Powertran catalogue from the same era. There is also a foot pedal which is used as a filter sweep pedal."

"Warehouse 605" - Hannett / JD / Dark style studio tracking & mixing

Published on Mar 27, 2017 SynthMania

"Tracking & Mixing a 'dark' song in the style of Martin Hannett / Joy Division / Bauhaus / Sisters of Mercy etc. of the late '70s / early '80s."

Powertran Transcendent 2000 comes in at 2:55. This one isn't too synth heavy, but it is fun to watch and the Transcendent 2000 was one of Martin Hannett' main synths.

"Excellent synth, in great working order. Sounds amazing.
These were originally sold as a kit which you built yourself in the late 70s to Early 80s.

In good condition.. Scuffs and marks as you would expect from a synth of this age.

Only thing is that the base panel is missing! I bought it like this.. Works fine though and does not affect the workability of the synth!

This synth has also been fitted with CV in and Out"

"This one is as mint as you are likely to ever find. Works perfect, sounds amazing with a resonance that should have a warning on it - very powerful resonance on the tran 2000 filter. Wood work is in really good condition and all dials/sliders work as they should."

"Il Fauno d'Argento" (Powertran Transcendent 2000 & ARP Omni-2)

Published on Dec 22, 2016 SynthMania

"I came up with a hypnotic arpeggio progression tonight and made this theme out of it. In the classic late '60s / early '70s tradition, but using a Transcendent 2000 and an Omni-2 instead of modulars on this one."

This was the first synth used by Joy Division / New Order and appears on there early tracks"

"My Moogerfooger MF-104M came yesterday... and today I completed a Powertran Transcendent 2000 restoration... so I thought I check both out. The T2K is 100%... so I set my camera up and then had my first play with the Moogerfooger pedal. I like this thing, I like it very much-o...:)"

Transcendent Synth from Martin Hannett 's ( Joy Division producer ) collection with Synthometer?

via this auction

I never heard of a Synthometer before now. If you know more about it, feel free to comment.

via the listing:

"ignore all those cheaper Transcendents ( that probably aren't fully working like this one and don't have famous user owner history like this one ) and buy one from Martin Hannett's personal collection of Transcendent's this one includes Hannetts unique Synthometer a unit that apparently connected this Transcendent to an AMS delay- the fully working Transcendent synth includes the correct vintage case for this synth of Hannett's and the case fits the Hannett Synthometer at the side of the Transcendent - Hannett Transcendent synth no 9 and case No 9- Transcendent is fantastic condition and the analogue sounds are out of this world. Hannett put Transcendent synths into loads of records he produced including Joy Division- there are Transcendent sounds on Unknown Pleasures and other Joy Division recordings from that era . Hannett produced and sometimes played synth effects on Joy Division early New Order, Durutti Column, John Cooper Clarke, Nico, Buzzcocks, Magazine, Pauline Murray, U2, Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, he was really responsible for bringing synths and echoes into punk and post punk

Ready to plug in and create those Joy Division/ Manchester /Hannett sounds- this synth was designed by Tim Orr who also worked for EMS.

This has not just been stuck in an attic for years and full of dodgy controls or part working- this is fully serviced and refurbished and ready to go

will come with letter of provenance and Hannett's notes"

"It has been professionally fully serviced and tuned, everything is working just fine, it just needs a new owner to use and cherish it.

One nice touch is the Audio In jack, where you can run your own sounds through the analogue filter and gate it via the keyboard in parallel with the onboard sounds."
