"As is usual with these, the high gloss end cheeks are not as beautiful as they once were. This also has one repaired key. But it's a great and fairly rare synth, boosted by the brilliant Tauntek firmware upgrade: http://www.tauntek.com/AX80.htm . Just provide your own IEC mains lead. VEMIA will collect and pack this heavy, fragile synth beautifully: 30GBP."

"Selling my Wave Waldorf (the standard 16 voices / 61 keys / blue model), with usual hydraulic cylinder failure, and, sadly, paintwork also started to deteriorate seriously (especially on the right side). Apart from that, Synth is perfectly functional, with fan replaced by a silent one (noctua), floppy drive replace by a HXC floppy simulator."

"This classic synth has been extensively serviced, and is ready to be delivered or shipped to you as soon as the auction finishes. The bad point: it has one nasty mark on the front panel above the VCO-1 control section and two or three marks at the front of the modulation section, which ought really to be re-furbished sometime.

Apart from that, it is very good. Everything sounds great and works as it should, including the MIDI conversion. [VEMIA note: I used to have a JP-8 with Groove MIDI, and I thought it was the absolute best.]"

"New old stock, basically: a rare Oberheim DX and Stretch combination. Check out the internet for more info: briefly the DX was a slimmed-down but also in some ways improved version of the classic DMX - and the even rarer Stretch was then made available to add a lot more versatility and power. Incredible condition - unused since new. Provide your own IEC lead."

"Deft Audio Luma 1 Drum Computer. This is from the first run of 100 units from Deft Audio. Serial number 073. An incredible and faithful reproduction of the Linn LM1 brought back to life by Joe Britt. It has the same DACs and filters, but has a few new features to make life easier such as the ability to load your own samples via USB. Absolutely beautifully built and sounds completely authentic as you would expect from Deft Audio. Also comes with a rather huge protective case that will survive anything."

"***notice that the theremin needs service*** Up for sale is my R.A. Moog Co. Troubador Theremin with serial number 1001. Which means it's the first one made, probably by Bob Moog himself on 3 October 1969. Unfortunately it's not working. One of the coils is broken and the power lead needs work. It's sold as-is, untested. I've been looking years for a second example to fix this one, without result so far.. Optically there are signs of use, some screws are missing, some wear and tear at the front panel and bottom plate."

"3 oscillator modular synthesizer with a multimode filter and super snappy and envelopes also has a ring modulator and a built in midi interface. All patch points are located at the bottom below the module leaving room for an uncluttered access to the knobs. In very nice condition."

Simmons SDS3 with pads- stunning instrument

"I was always a little surprised by how valuable these Simmons SDS3s are, and put it down to their extreme rarity and the wow factor of owning something from the Musicaid Simmons era. But I've been listening to what this machine can do, and I begin to see there is so much more. It is simply a genius design. The variety of sounds is stunning - it's almost like a fully-featured four-voice synth as well as a great drum synth. FM is brilliant, and the whole design (using permanently running ladder filters for the oscillators?) is mind-blowing.

This example, serial number 0072, is in perfect working order, after literally days of restoration by nLi. Cosmetically, the SDS3 itself looks great. The knobs are not original but look pretty nice, there are some small scrapes and marks on the panel and wood endcheeks, but overall it could be 8/10 especially given its age. The pads are very well used, but have been thoroughly restored and are totally functional and original.

ACIDLAB MIAMI 808 CLONE

"Rare 808 drum machine clone https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/acidlab-miami An analogue clone of Roland’s TR808 for much less. Generous pattern capacity. Can switch seamlessly between pattern selection and programming. Syncs to MIDI or Roland’s Sync24 protocol. Individual outputs for every voice. COMES WITH UK 3PRONG ORIGINAL POWER SUPPLY as sent by KLAUS small print in panel has faded in places . But its not apparent much. a small scratch here and there (the one looking like a hair scratch on one pic under step 14 is actually hair and not a scratch!!) But if you look closely on the bassdrum decay konb the lettering has faded slightly. There is also an actual scratch on the LT/LC switch. things like that make it a 'near good' condition but not perfect. Its a 15+ old machine so I guess little things like that can be expected and are described upfront so no surprises. These have become quite expensive on ebay so this is a chance to get yourself a nice 808 for no primetime $$$$"

Moog Synamps

SN 1127 via this Vemia listing

1080 details follow (1127 further below). Pics of the inside for both below.

Click the auction link on top when you get there for additional listings.

"Extremely rare, extremely heavy, and not fully functional: here is the fabled Synamp from Moog, interestingly a native UK voltage example. The power amp is not working, and the spring tank needs to be replaced. But this is what it does have working well even before servicing: a vintage Moog graphic with drive level control and overload LED, and four channels of comprehensive Moog parametric EQ, each with input gain with overload LED and effects send level, and three sweepable bands for each channel. Cosmetically, check the photos. The important parts are a good 7/10, but some of the rest is not. It's not pristine for sure. But it is a very special piece. CORRECTION: the tatty but original Moog wooden road case goes with the second Synamp in this auction, not this one. That means that there is no reverb tank at all with this one (the tank sits in one of the wooden case lids) - but a pretty simple job to house and connect a replacement. This example is still seriously heavy and solid without the wooden case.

There will be a second Synamp in this auction in non-working condition, and possibly the massive speaker cabinets (as seen) that they were designed to work with - though their huge power could only really be used in a decent sized space. See lots 30464 and 30465."

Salamander Music Sytems 430R Sequencer Controller

"From Salamander Music Systems - sorry for the typo in the title. Probably even rarer than the Voice 400, this is the companion sequencer / controller for it, in rackmount form. Not tested, sold as is, needing the multi-pin connector - which presumably acts as power supply for the 430R as well as sending sequence / program info. Like the Voice 400, not in very good cosmetic condition, but still highly desirable."

"Oberheim – Digital Sequencer DS2A (s/n 289) - Early 1970’s analogue sequencer (under digital control). This is the DS2”A” version with 144 note memory. In very good physical condition, but does not work. Powers up with a couple of segments on the screen lighting up, switches are working. 240v version. VEMIA can collect and pack: 9GBP."

Radikal Technologies Delta CEP A v2 SN 20236

"Listed as 'modular' - but it's a semi-modular, 4-voice paraphonic synth, or mono synth, with on-board effects (reverb, delays, phaser, flanger, chorus), internal sequencer and interpolator (innovative design where sequencing can combine morphing of the oscillators, filter, LFO and envelopes), with patch memories. Very useful multi-mode filter (LP, BP, HP), with digital and analogue filter circuits. Good connectivity including midi (front and rear) for this to be the centre of your modular universe.....and it sounds wonderful and is built like a tank. Version 2 firmware with version 1 livery. This is the more expensive desktop version which can be rehoused in a eurorack case by simply disconnecting from the internal power bus and removing from the case. The case does however provide benefits for connectivity, e.g., the 1/4 inch jack inputs to run any external signal (mono or stereo) via the effects section. A future classic?"

Roland System 700

"This is a unique opportunity to buy a monster synth, that is also a piece of synth pop history. Two cabinets plus the original keyboard, all lids, interconnection cables and original manual included. The first cabinet is a Roland System-700 Lab is one of the rarest and most sought-after modular synthesizers ever built. Introduced in 1976 as part of Roland’s legendary System-700 series, the Lab version was designed as a compact, self-contained modular laboratory for advanced sound design, research, and education — but with the same discrete analog circuitry, massive sound, and build quality as the full studio system.

This one was owned by Bill Vorn, keyboardist of the synth-pop band Rational Youth, used in the following albums dated 1981 to 1983 : Rational Youth, Saturdays in Silesia, City of Night and I want to see the light, as reported in the certification signed by Bill Vorn himself, provided in the item. The second one is another original SYS 700 one, connected and internally cabled to the main one by means of the original cable, with the super rare modules that you see in the picture: an additional, multimode filter, the great output module and… a professionally custom module with a perfect ARP 2600 VCF clone… plus other stuff.

All the best Sys 700 modules, featuring the iconic vintage Roland tone — warm and incredibly dynamic — and offers an extraordinary range of sonic possibilities thanks to its flexible patch architecture. Perfect for collectors, professional studios, or synth enthusiasts looking for a centerpiece instrument with historical and musical significance. The system sports a comprehensive modular architecture with 3 oscillators, 2 filters, 2 VCAs, 6 envelopes (!), mixer, phaser, spring reverb (HUGE) and …utilities.

Legendary System-700 sound — powerful basses, evolving textures, experimental tones. What to say more? Fully functional and in very good cosmetic condition with minor signs of use. You will never find another in such condition. Last call…"
