How much vintage analog synths cost in 1996

video upload by mylarmelodies

"In this video I'll leaf through 29 year old classified ads for 'vintage' analogue synths (they're a lot more vintage now) in Sound on Sound. A trip down memory lane to ask: Were vintage synths LOADS cheaper then? Well, yeah. But also, maybe not like you may think. Thoughts on this and much more contained herein. 👉 / mylarmelodies 🙌

The MS-20 Above and Beyond Ad

This one comes in via a promo email for KORG's MS-20 Sound Engine in the New KRONOS.

"The KORG MS-20, released in 1978, is a monophonic, semi-modular analog synth known for its gritty sound, dual VCOs and filters, and flexible patch panel. Part of the MS series, it featured two envelope generators and could process external audio, making it a favorite for sound design. Though discontinued in 1983, its popularity resurged in the late '90s, leading to reissues like the MS-20 mini and MS-20 FS. Its raw tone and hands-on modulation helped define KORG's legacy in analog innovation."

New England Digital Synclavier 9600 Polyphonic Sampling System Brochure

via this eBay listing

"RARE! New England Digital Synclavier 9600 Polyphonic Sampling System Brochure

Yes, this is the 9600, and yes, this is in English.

This is THE RAREST and MOST SOUGHT AFTER of the 1989 new system brochures that that fake foreign website scanned the photos from 25+ years ago to show fake systems on the website (instead of real ones like Synclav com has shown for 20+ years). This is the original source of the scan, at least for the Synclavier 9600 model. Those photos show empty boxes. Uhm, what's holding that beige door closed (no locks)? And exactly what software generates that screen image?

This incredibly rare brochure gives all the information, and shows all the specs of the Synclavier 9600. And surprise! The maximum polyphonic sampling memory is not "1.5GB", lulz.

And, lastly, Synhouse has the Synclavier 9600 in stock (two kinds, actually). Nobody else does."

New England Digital Synclavier Brochure VPK Sample-to-Disk VT640

via this eBay listing

"This is an incredibly rare brochure from the summer of 1984 (when NED was working on polyphonic sampling Synclavier to be shown October 1984 and there was no actual system in production, the few shipped were hybrids of the Synclavier V/PK retrofitted to a Synclavier II Control Unit) that shows things that NED didn't exactly make, ever.

This was their first---and last---mention of "The Tapeless Studio" meaning the sequencer (later that meant the Direct-to-Disk system). It describes the SMPTE Reader Option without using that term because it wasn't yet available and they hadn't figured out how it would be done yet (similar to the 1987 discussion of the not-yet-released 3rd party SMPTE reader for the Linn 9000, saying they weren't sure whether or not it would require additional hardware to be added to the Linn 9000....that's the sound of someone who hasn't ever used SMPTE and doesn't know what it is), and it shows a graphical flow chart showing polyphonic sampling and multi-channel outputs (neither available then as building blocks), and is intentionally vague about the "floppy disk system" and "Winchester disks", as they didn't really have the set offering for that (high density Superfloppy, not out until 1985, and 5mb and 10mb IMI MFM Winchester drives being common, neither with SCSI until 9/1985).

It describes the Stereo Option, Sample-to-Disk, SCRIPT/MAX, and different Control Unit enclosures.

Most strangely, it shows a V/PK that never existed, with a back panel that wasn't made, with Synclavier II connectors that were never used and, sadly, an on/off power switch that they never put on this $11,000 machine.

Moog Source Analog Synthesizer SN 4339 w/ Extras

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

via this eBay listing, also on Reverb

"A true piece of synthesizer history, the Moog Source (early 1980s) was Moog’s first synthesizer to feature programmable patch memory—a groundbreaking step that combined classic analog warmth with futuristic digital control. Revered for its lush, fat Moog tone and its pioneering optical alpha dial interface, the Source is both a collector’s dream and a player’s powerhouse.

This unit includes its original factory presets on cassette, the original owner’s manual, preset sheets, and the original schematic—a complete package that rarely surfaces.

Key Features:

Monophonic analog synthesizer with dual oscillators per voice
37-key keyboard (C–C) with octave shift & pitch/mod wheels
Oscillators offer sawtooth, triangle, and square (with PWM) waveforms
Oscillator sync + noise generator for deep sound design potential
Classic 24dB Moog Ladder Filter with self-oscillation & keyboard tracking
LFO with multiple waveforms routable to VCO or filter
16 patch memory slots + cassette storage for presets
Innovative optical alpha dial with LED display—clean, modern interface design"
