"This EMAX II is loaded with all desirable upgrades I would ever ask for but lately, I just haven't been using it and can't justify keeping it so it's time to sell it. It's in fantastic condition, no serious scratches, no dents, and all screws. It's clean inside and out. The yellow LED display can be viewed clearly from a far distance and at any angle. All the buttons and sliders are responsive. All the inputs, outputs and MIDI work. Everything works like it should. Instead of a noisy used SCSI HD prone to fail, I've installed the SCSI2SD option, partitioned into 4 large SCSI drives. The floppy disk drive reads and writes without issue. If no floppy is inserted on power up, the machine will boot off SCSI Drive A. You don't need a boot disk with this EMAX. This has the rarest optional RAM daughter board and flash making this one of the fewest examples of the 8mb EMAX II in existence. I've got about 40 banks each containing about 5 unique sound patches on SCSI Drive A. I am also including a bunch of disks that I haven't saved to the drive, but there's some good stuff like a few OB-X patches and so on within those. You'll get the EMAX II with the User Manual, power cord and disks you see pictured."

Pro One Synthesizer: A Few Sounds


Published on Nov 2, 2019 rezfilter

"Take it up a notch!

So here's what an actual Pro One synthesizer sounds like.

The SCI Pro One was recorded direct, with some analogue drums thrown in for context (Analogue Solutions Concussor eurorack drum modules).

Many of the sounds were sequenced or modulated with an Analogue Solutions analogue Oberkorn sequencer and others were only the Pro One's built-in sequencer running the show.

Enjoy!"

"This is a one of a kind custom full plug-and-play Loudest Warning System made, designed, hand wired / built and modified by Stroh / J3rk.

This is my favorite synth I've ever owned (and I've had everything from Cwejman, to Macbeth, Moog, etc) but I really need to pay off some student debt so unfortunately here goes.

It includes 8 Loudest Warning format modules professionally custom built by Stroh / J3rk and modified (per request) to work perfectly with 12v and 15v Power. None of these modules have ever been for sale.

Whats included in this bundle -

LW Modules (I've never seen any of these modules for sale before, kits or complete) -
Stroh - MCVCO With Buchla Knobs (Complex Thru Zero VCO / LFO)
Stroh - DPO LW module (Complex VCO / LFO)
Stroh - Q Q LW module (Wavefolder, Scanner, Mixer?)
Stroh - Dual Angle LW module (Dual Envelope / Transient generator, LFO, Logic generator)
Stroh - MSF (Lowpass, Bandpass, Highpass filter with dual FM inputs and pinging)
Stroh - Dual VCA LW module
Stroh - Out LW module (Dual output module with panning, independent mono 1/4" outs and a summed stereo / headphone output.
Stroh - M I (Midi interface with gate output and 2 CV outputs) Works great with my Keyboard.
Boat / Skiff / Power
cLee - Loudest Warning steel boat w/ option for rack ears.
cLee - Loudest Warning Bus board with extra spaces for more LW modules.
High quality 15v pre-wired Plug-and Play Serge Power supply.
Cables
16 Pomona Banana Cables (Various lengths)
2 long TS 1/4" to 1/8" cables for hooking the mixer into your Eurorack, etc.
1 Very long Hosa TRS 1/4 to 1/8 cable
1 Midi Cable.
2 New Gold Plated TRS to Female XLR cables for main stereo output.
2 New Gold Plated Male TRS to Male XLR cables for main output.
2 Monster 1/4" TS Gold plated cables.
Gold Plated 1/4" to 1/8" Headphone adaptor.
Bonus Free!
If you are a module builder (or know one) I can include a few cLee LW Faceplate's, PCB's and Brackets as I will not have time to make these anytime soon unfortunately. Please let me know if you would like them.
cLee - Bits PCB's + faceplate (some components added, not by me)
cLee - VC Timer PCB's + Faceplate set
cLee - Euclidian Sequencer PCB + Faceplate set
cLee - 3 LW PCB Brackets

Each module in this skiff is very rare and has never been for sale retail (check google), They may be one-off modules. Stroh does not make many modules for other people (maybe none anymore?) so I'll doubt these will ever come up again for sale."

"Acidlab Bassline analogue synth, 303 on steroids . Great condition, hardly used. 303 with ring mod, sub osc, and 2nd vco. That acidlab 303 sound which is as good as it gets"

Vintage Oberheim OB-8 Analog Synthesizer SN C33725

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

via this auction

"This synth has been in our studio's in-house, climate/humidity controlled storage for a number of years. It is in original, 1983 unrestored condition. The steel chassis and wood side panels are in excellent condition. The paintwork is glossy with only a few small nicks. We don't know the history of this keyboard prior to our ownership, but it was clearly well taken care of. All knobs and buttons are in tact. All LED lights function. No rust or corrosion is visible.

We have the OB-8 listed as "for parts or not working" so as not to misrepresent the condition; however, prior to listing, we tested the unit and here is what we found. The OB-8 powers up, and makes sound. We were able to manipulate volume, tuning, hold, filters, oscillators, ADSR, pitch bend etc. Most keys function; some are intermittent, some don't seem to function.

This keyboard is approximately 36 years old. Most Oberheims of this age and era require a restoration by a qualified technician. This OB-8 is in no way ready for the stage or studio just yet, but it is an excellent candidate for restoration."

Behringer VC340 and Roland VP-03 together - Combining the analog and digital synthesizer vocoder


Published on Nov 2, 2019 Expanding Sound

"I've seen quite a few videos comparing these two units. For my money they both sound great and each have useful qualities. The VC340 is analog and has a rich warm sound with a full size key bed and great build quality. The VP-03 has it's portability, sequencing ability and built in audio interface as features that stand apart from its remake counterpart.

I wondered, instead of pitting them against each other, like others have, how do they sound together? They are so similar in tone that using them together just adds more fullness to the sound. The only difficult aspect to navigate was using a microphone. I decided to run a mic into a mixer and split it into both units. The result is a little airy as the mixer isn't the best quality, but with the strings and voice patches you can really hear how great the two sound added together. I was going to sell my VP-03 after I got the VC340. Now, I'm not so sure!"
