Thomas Synti 1055 (Moog Satellite Made in Italy) thru Dedalus Delay on Ipad2


video upload by VSMI - Vintage Synths Made in Italy

"The Synti 1055 was designed as an improvement to the Satellite, which Thomas Organ Company aquired the rights to manufacture in 1973
The Synti 1055, like the Satellite, is an analog preset monosynth with a 3 1/2 octave, 44-note (F-C) keyboard (7 more notes than the Satellite). The major difference between the Synti 1055 and the Moog keyboards is that the preset tabs are above the keyboard instead of below. To the left of the keyboard there are 7 sliders for modifying a preset, including filter modulation, cutoff frequency, and resonance.

Embark on a musical journey with the Thomas Synti 1055, a rare analog synthesizer. Crafted in 1973, this gem has the same internal boards as the Moog Satellite. Uniquely, the Thomas Organ Company acquired the Satellite rights in 1973, birthing the enhanced Synti 1055. It features a keybed with 7 more keys than the Satellite, allowing for deeper bass Sounds.

This rare analog synth is in good condition for its age and definitely will make a great addition to your collection."

"Synti 1055 by Thomas Organ Company.

Synth is in perfect working condition,

When it comes to appearance, it has scratches on the housing, which can be seen in the photos. There are also two slider overlays missing. In the piano button, in the preset section, the red color does not disappear when the preset is turned off (see photo 3).

The video in the attached you tube [video] presents the described instrument."

"Everything works on it, including the light-up keyboard, and the inside is super-clean. I also have the Bandmaster synthesizer kit that can go with it, but the frame is for a different organ; perhaps you can find a proper frame for it. I had it serviced recently and it was given a clean bill of health. This was the same organ as in the Standard Hotel in Los Angeles. This also comes with a bunch of books for learning the Thomas system."

Thomas Synti 1055 (Moog Satellite). Rare Vintage Analogue Synth

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

via this auction

"Incredibly rare Thomas Synti 1055 Monophonic Analogue Synthesizer. For those that don't know, this is basically an improved version of the Moog Satellite. The Thomas Organ Company acquired the rights from Moog for the Satellite in 1973 and this was the result - it uses the same internal boards as the original Moog version. Thomas moved the position of the paddle switches, and lengthened the keyboard - which meant deeper bass.

I have to say this is by far one of the best sounding vintage analogue synths that i've ever owned. It can sound really creamy and fluid, but also really edgy and fractured when you engage both modulation and emphasis. It's very playable AND very useable.

This is a definite rarity so you are unlikely to see another one for sale anytime soon, if at all. It has been fully serviced by my regular tech for sale, so you can bid and buy in confidence that you are getting your hands on a rare analogue that is technically sound."

Features:

Millions of Musical Combinations
Expansion Boards
Lots of Light Up Buttons for the Tech Lovers
Mid-Century Design
Has Original Bench for Music Notebooks
For sale is this vintage 1976 Thomas 2001 organ. With it's incredibly iconic space age design, a model name with an unmistakable reference to Kubrick's Space Odyssey, and enough backlit gadgetry to be confused for a Soviet-era space capsule, it's quite clear why the famous The Standard hotel in Downtown Los Angeles has their entire entrance dedicated to their very own Thomas 2001 organ. With an obvious Panton-era physical presence and Saarinen style curves, this is the perfect instrument for a retro-inspired decor or interior. Incredibly attractive and almost subtle, this organ will undoubtedly be the conversation piece in any environment.

I had an organ repair person take a look at it and they said that some of the wires need to be throughly cleaned of dust using compressed air. There are some keys that seem to be getting feedback when specific options are engaged. All lights work."

Rare Thomas Vox Moog Combo Organ Synth

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
Uploaded on Dec 29, 2009 jdhammond


via this auction


"This is an unusual rare combo organ from the early 70's. It is a double manual keyboard, made in the Italian Vox factory and housed in a Super Continental case, the bottom half is classic Vox transistor organ with vibrato and sustain effects, and the top manual is a Moog Satellite, which was licensed by Thomas...there are separate outputs for Moog & organ..

Some info can be found here: [above]

Here is a link to a video of the organ in action recorded by the guy I bought it from 4 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_QpBNTPQ2c

The organ is in working condition with all keys sounding and all filters etc working but would no doubt benefit from a service and general clean up."

"Item Details

For sale is this vintage 1976 Thomas 2001 organ. With it's incredibly iconic space age design, a model name with an unmistakable reference to Kubrick's Space Odyssey, and enough backlit gadgetry to be confused for a Soviet-era space capsule, it's quite clear why the famous The Standard hotel in Downtown Los Angeles has their entire entrance dedicated to their very own Thomas 2001 organ. With an obvious Panton-era physical presence and Saarinen style curves, this is the perfect instrument for a retro-inspired decor or interior. Incredibly attractive and almost subtle, this organ will undoubtedly be the conversation piece in any environment.

This particular example works perfectly, and includes; the original bench, the original smoked glass sheet music stand, and even the original owner's/maintenance manual."

Update: some additional info via Steve Cain on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

"I love mine, if you look closely it not only has the Tijuana preset, but the Speak Easy section that synchs with the rhythm section. There are some that come with a module called 'Band Master' [pictured below], one of the earliest programmable and commercially available drum machines...mine does not...

They weigh a freaking ton and are put together in the oddest way, I work with an organ installer (his part time job) and it took him an hour to get the pedals off of it.

Those black rectangles are module bays, one for the drum machine, one for a tape deck and no idea what went in the 3rd.

BTW, the serial # is under the top lid, usually on the back wall of the main compartment on the inside. If you are lucky, the wiring diagrams are still stapled to the underside if the top key deck, you have to lift it up and set the kickstand to find it. Those #s on the sliders I think are part #s

One last note, at the time of manufacture, Thomas was the company assembling Moog synths, while not the Combo organ with the Satellite for the top deck, it does have some of the mid 70s Moog flavor to some of the sounds."
