"Here is a mega rare PUBLISON DHM89-B2 Expanded version with vibrato amount / speed controls! Highly advanced signal processor/sampler c. 1978. AMAZING machine... with an UNIQUE warm sound and effects combinations between sampling delays, harmonizer, advanced dual pitch shifter ect.. A very rare collector item with a sound so analog closer to tape than digital. It has been used by many popular bands like Cyndi Lauper, Rockets, Joan Osborne, The Fixx, The Outfield..

EXCELLENT cosmetic shape, very clean panel! Working conditions: control panels seems to be well working, all controls are ok as the led screens, but outs are extremely low, almost unaudible so I sell it in as-is conditions, it probably need of a sensible tech visit. It was perfect working in studio a lot of times ago.. never serviced, still has the original capacitiors, there are 3x mainboards inside.

It's one of the most AMAZING machine ever made... as its brother INFERNAL MACHINE!"

Side note: not sure if the one in the video is meant as a demo for an upcoming auction. If you see it, let me know. I couldn't find it. I was going to put the Onkloud auction up in a separate post but thought the pics would go good here.

Update: Watch these full screen to read the details. The "Instantaneous Display of Memory Position" reminds me of wavetable synthesis.

"Publison DHM 89 B2
Stereo Delay & Pitch Shifter
Late 70's Early 80's

It has seperate controls for sample start and end points, when they are reversed the unit plays the delay backwards. When you factor in variable pitch, feedback, speed, etc... you get mind numbing possibilities. Goes from standard delay to complete Arial Pink FX bananas, and still does everything in between like making a good pitch thickener for background vocals, like an Eventide H910. Can feel like a space Echo or Echoplex in many ways too...

Also, there is a multi pin connector which will allow for CV control of a lot of front panel controls. This can be modded to play samples pitched on a keyboard, which is what Tangerine Dream did to play samplers on the Firestarter Soundtrack."
