EEH / SSB Banana 6-voice Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer

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

via this Reverb listing

Ad scan below.

"In near mint condition, with factory MIDI. Voice boards and PSU recapped, calibrated. The autotune function has been deactivated because we have calibrated the filters to be able to self-oscillate and apparently that is incompatible with the autotune check on startup, but the synth is fully tuned. Copy of user manual (in german), schematics and docs included. 220V version.


The Banana is a 6-voice polyphonic synthesizer that, in terms of design, strongly resembles the famous Oberheim OB-Xa, but it is not an OB-Xa clone. It features an OB-Xa-like voice architecture with two CEM3340 VCOs, a switchable 24dB lowpass/highpass filter based on the SSM2044 chip, and CEM3360 VCAs and CEM3310 Envelope Generators for the six voices. This provides a rich, warm analog sound that is still relevant in modern music productions. The Banana allows for sound editing with the versatile 2 ENVs (envelopes), similar to those found in the OB-Xa, making it a powerful instrument for both complex soundscapes and powerful leads and basslines.

The Banana was produced in West Germany by Electronic Engineering Hoffmann (EEH), in collaboration with Synthesizer Studio Bonn (SSB), and it is the only synthesizer ever released by EEH and distributed by SSB. In 1983, Electronic Engineering Hoffmann (EEH) completed the development of the Banana in collaboration with Synthesizer Studio Bonn (SSB), the world’s first specialized synthesizer store, located in West Germany. SSB had already made a name for itself by creating custom sequencers, including the Synthorama, which was used by Kraftwerk to control their Minimoogs on the legendary Trans-Europe Express.

Production of the Banana ran from 1983 to approximately 1985, after which the synth was discontinued. Only 100 to 300 units were made. This makes it a particularly rare model for collectors or musicians looking for a unique synth.

This model offers a unique opportunity for the serious synthesizer enthusiast or collector who is searching for a rare instrument with historical value.

Don’t miss out on the chance to own a piece of synthesizer history!"

EML 101 and EML 200 Manuals

This one is in via Keith Soehn who had the following to say:

"As a former owner of 2 EML 101s, an EML 200 and the EML 400/401/416 Sequencer, I somehow felt the need to desktop publish the manuals for the above-mentioned EMLs. (I will also redo the EML 500.) It’s my belated thanks to all the people and to present and past users of these synths and sequencer. I enjoyed working with these units.

I presently have finished two manuals for the EML 101 and the EML 200, and I’m almost finished with the Sequencer manual. James Gideon has graciously posted the pdfs on his website at: https://siliconbreakdown.com/eml"

Side note: you can find videos by The Silicon Breakdown in additional posts here. You will find posts going back as far as 2008.

Tropical Fish Wurlitzer Document Archive

This one is in via Paulina Salmas from Tropical Fish who had the following to say;

"I am working on a project that I thought you might be interested in.

I am a keyboard tech, and in 2022 I visited a warehouse packed to the ceiling with Wurlitzer organ parts. The warehouse had been owned by a former Wurlitzer employee, but it had recently been sold, and the new owners intended to destroy everything inside on the following Monday. There, I purchased around 100,000 Wurlitzer Co. engineering drawings that would have otherwise been incinerated.

The drawings include dimensions, material specs, and associated paperwork for parts in every Wurlitzer organ, electronic piano, and accessory, including the Sideman drum machine. I am scanning the pages so that the information can be made available to other techs and musicians, to help them repair vintage Wurlitzer keyboards and keep them alive.

About 2,000 drawings are available here, and I will be uploading more as I scan them: https://www.tropicalfisharchive.com."
