"Your chance to own one of the most sought after analog synths of all time along with the custom-built “Enabler” controller manufactured by Randel Osborne.
Both were purchased directly from Mr. Osborne who described this particular Chroma as cosmetically and functionally one of the nicest he’d ever come across. The Enabler took two years to receive due to the extensive waiting list for this boutique unit.
The Chroma sounds MASSIVE and The Enabler allows the user to in real-time access endless layers of functionality buried by the synth’s original designers.
Comes with the original double sustain pedal, volume pedal, a bespoke interface used to connect the Enabler and an ATA style, heavy duty flightcase.
The only thing keeping me from listing this Chroma as “excellent“ is an error with voice board #5(limiting the synth to 14 voices (still sounds amazing), a burnt out “pixel” in the Chroma’s numerical display (does not affect functionality) and a dark LED screen on the Enabler (which also doesn’t affect functionality). In any event these should be simple fixes and these issues are already reflected in the lower than normal asking price. All buttons/sliders/keys functions as they should.
Due to the delicate nature of the synth it is available for local pick up only in the northeast for now. If it isn’t sold after a while I’ll open it up to shipping although I doubt it will not sell quickly as I’ll be entertaining all serious offers."

Vintage 1983 Crumar Spirit — Bob Moog Designed Masterpiece SN 00045
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this listing
"While this gorgeous vintage Moog-designed Crumar Spirit synthesizer is in exceptionally nice cosmetic shape, it will need a basic calibration and the noise generator will need to be addressed for it to be 100% factory functional.
With this being said — this 1983 Crumar Spirit is an absolutely stunning, tonally mind-blowing, and creatively mesmerizing synth. There is not much to say that hasn’t been said before. One of Bob Moog’s finest designs, and one of the very rarest. An extremely flexible analog mono synth with 2 VCO’s, a legendary filter section, many features I could cherry-pick through… I encourage you to feel free to reach out with any questions regarding the technical functions of this synth, if you don’t know much about these. I imagine that many of those viewing this listing know precisely what they are looking at.
The Spirit is fully original aside from 4 replaced switches; the original switches will be included in the sale. It is near mint cosmetically, aside from one tiny chip on the back-side corner (see pics) and the aforementioned replaced switches. Truly a sight to behold in person. As I mentioned earlier, the synth could use a calibration and the noise generator is currently non-functioning; but otherwise the Spirit is working 100%. Included in the sale is the original, fitted leather case."

Demo in the listing previously posted here. You can find additional demos in previous posts here.
"Wonderful analog Groovebox/Drum Machine/Sequencer/etc/etc from 1982. The later CX2 would replace the sounds with digital samples, but this is the earlier, fully analog model - and you can hear it! Deep, warm, rich and powerful tones - that's how I would describe it! Check the video or YouTube for a demonstration - there are some pretty good examples on there. This thing really grooves effortlessly. There is a fully-programmable sequencer inside too, as well as the in-build rhythms. A 'Super Sequence' mode can be used during playing which runs through all of the stored sequences (which could be up to 512 bars) lasting possibly 20-30 minutes."

**ORIGINAL** 1980 MFB 501 – Serviced
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this listing
"Okay, now that's what I call vintage. Not the recent 'MFB 501 Pro' version, but the original 1980, 330,- DM (that was more than this 2024 priice, I'm pretty sure), best-selling one that could be found in many German households during the early 80s (I imagine).
Despite that it's quite rare, as far as I know, probably because: it sounds REALLY GREAT! I haven't been in the position to do a shoot out, but though there's a lot to be said in favour of the 'Pro, I'd say this one sounds quite a bit phatter. Drum machines just like most drum humans get phatter over time, I guess.
Do your homework before considering this, though; important to know is that it has no MIDI but is synced the way they synced in 1980, AND it is NOT programmable but DOES have oh I don't know around 200? funky, fünky presets, all in 3 variable versions, + you can mute and unmute every innstrument, so you'll probably be good. You'll be better."

Video demo in the listing previously posted here.
"8 operators - ...not just 6 like for example DX7...
8 EG
2 LFO
Harmonics Modulator (phase, ring)
The voice architecture is similar to the Yamaha DX synthesizers but where the DX7 has six oscillators to choose from, the VZ has eight.
Each oscillator is part of a 'module' and each module has a long list of functions independent of the other modules: Waveform, detune, envelope, envelope depth (that also functions as oscillator volume), envelope velocity sensitivity, envelope key follow and amplifier sensitivity. Each module is then arranged in 4 pairs: A, B, C and D. The first module in a pair then has the option to mix with the second module (similar to a dual oscillator synthesizer), ring modulate the second module or phase modulate the second module. The output from this can then be sent to the main output, or used to modulate the second module of the following pair (for example: the output from Pair A modulates the second module in Pair B which is also being ring modulated with the first module in Pair B). This freedom to pick and choose your own voice combinations allows for some very wild and complex sounds.
The VZ-1 also features a combination mode that lets you stack up to 4 patches on top of each other giving a total of 32 oscillators per voice."
