RSF Kobol Expander with CV control of waveform, decay and sync amount #rsfkobol #analogiapl

video upload by analogia pl

"This is one application of patch panel CV inputs in a Kobol Expander (which is not for sale, by the way). I’m sending a CV/gate pair to deliver note info but also a second CV (playing notes) that goes to an attenuator and then a multiple.

So, effectively, that second CV changes waveform of oscillator 1, decay of VCA envelope (that’s also routed to VCF) and amount of sync."

Three channels of Tubbutec MC-2oh2 explained #tubbutec #tubbutecmc2oh2

video upload by analogia pl

"In the video, I’m showing how to understand three channels of this powerful workstation. In simple terms, Ch1 is for 202 voice, Ch2 is for external CV/gate synth and Ch3 is a sample player."

With the RSF Kobol.

EMS Universal Sequencer Playlist

video uploads by analogia pl

A few of these have been featured on the site before. You can use the player controls to skip around.

Playlist:

1. EMS Synthi with Universal Sequencer and RSF Kobol #emssynthi #rsfkobol #rolandph830

It’s a tune done on the Synthi and EMS Universal Sequencer with some help from RSF Kobol processed by Roland PH-830 phaser.

2. 2 x EMS Universal Sequencer with Roland MC-202 #emssynthi #emsuniversalsequencer #mc202

Universal Sequencer is playing a sequence on the Synthi and the 202 - that’s why it’s called “universal” as both sequence and real time layers have CV/gate outputs. No effects other than spring reverb on the Synthi.

RSF Kobol with Vesta Kozo DIG-420 - part 1/2 #rsfkobol #vestakozodig420 #polyendtracker

video upload by analogia pl

"RSF Kobol with Vesta Kozo DIG-420 (plus some Roland PH-830 and H3000).

Polyend Tracker plays a sequence on the Kobol via CV/gate. Gate on another channel triggers delays in Vesta and yet another channel with gate sequentially switches between presets in Kobol. Sound complex but is quite simple."

"I just don’t remember how they all were triggered. I believe it was trigger to Kobol and DIN SYNC or MIDI to the Rolands (8000 has Tubbutec MIDI)."

1978 RSF Kobol

via this Reverb listing

"Here is a rare occasion to buy a RSF Kobol and in full working condition. Internal battery has been replaced. Cosmetic condition as per the pictures, close to excellent apart from the cracks due to its age. It comes with its original paper manual (not in the pictures). The RSF Kobol is one of the very best vintage monophonic synths ever designed with its distinctive powerful and precise sound and one of the sexiest User Interface ever designed. Plus it has 16 memory slots and the ability to sequence these slots making it one of the most powerful sequencers of its time. You can trigger it from any 5V clock (eurorack standard).

In addition to the original paper manual this Kobol also comes with a very sturdy, very heavy (27 kgs !!) custom wooden box with foam inside, however you can have the it shipped without the case if you prefer so, since the case alone weighs more than twice the synth itself!"

VEMIA is Peter Forrest's auction house. He is the author of The A-Z of Analogue Synthesizer Books.

"Here is a very rare occasion to buy a RSF Kobol and this one is in full working condition. Internal battery has been replaced. Its worse cosmetic flaw being the crack in its right flank as shown in the pictures, which has not cracked further for the last 20 years. Feels totally solid. Otherwise the cosmetic condition is excellent. It comes (not in the pictures) with its original paper manual and in a very sturdy custom wooden box with foam inside that is also very heavy. So if you want to ship you will have to tell us if you want the box or not as since it weighs almost as much as the synth it will have a significant impact on the shipping cost. The RSF Kobol is one of the very best vintage monophonic synths ever designed with its distinctive powerful and precise sound and one of the sexiest User Interface ever designed. Plus it has 16 memory slots and the ability to sequence these slots making it one of the most powerful sequencers of its time. You can trigger it from any 5V clock.

"Only around 200 units were built in the '70s and maybe only 50 are left - probably less.

The unit is all original with big knobs (hell yes!) and a sequencer that steps through presets, not notes!"

Rare "Engineer Sample" Behringer Kobol Keyboard Spotted

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

via this listing

This one was spotted and sent in via
M Me.

"Not in production. Not available anywhere.

Perfect for your Youtube video or synth channel.

Rare opportunity to own one of a kind synthesizer keyboard.
This is the Behringer Kobol Keyboard. There's a label in the back showing this to be an "Engineer Sample".

All controls and keys seem to be working. Although given this is not a production model, there could be quirks. The Pitch and Mod wheels light up when activated. The LED bar changes when knobs are turned.
I had tested only the audio outputs - headphones, main out, and amp out. Other connections and USB are untested.

Good overall physical condition, but there are very visible scratches and dings and dents on the panel, as shown in the photos.
The back stand has 3 positions for tilt adjustment."
