"This Studio Electronics C.O.D.E. has eight voices, overdrive, and comes with the Moog filters and SEM filters. The C.O.D.E. is a more highly upgradeable and recent version of the Omega 8 synthesizer. The owner of Antiquity Music bought this C.O.D.D. new from Studio Electronics in late 2007 for over $5000, but has barely had time to make music since then, and hence this C.O.D.E. has only been played about once a year. It still works perfectly and sounds incredibly great. It is in near mint cosmetic condition.

The MSRP for this 8 Voice C.O.D.E. Omega Series Synthesizer with overdrive (Product Code: Code8V-OD at Studio Electronics) is $5899. Here is your chance to get it for $2000 off, with free shipping!"

Note the binary background.

"Studio Electronics Code 8 OD. It's the ultimate true analog synthesizer, like having eight discrete monophonic synths from the 70's/80's era (you know, the sound EVERYONE looks for?) built into a rack unit. With all that sound, the instrument is amazingly flexible, and those 8 huge voices can be stacked, merged, split up, or run multi-timbrally, any way you want. Built in Moog and Oberheim-style analog filters (you can choose between them for EACh VOICE!)... really nice design with easy to use front panel. Studio Electronics took their worshipped Omega 8 synth, and put a bunch of extras into it. The new "OD" models give you classic analog amp overdrive for each voice. The analog experts at Studio Electronics took their classic Omega Engine and couple of fresh ideas to come out with the NEW C O D E Synthesizer. Two new great features on the CODE Synth are the sinewave generators and the new filter control section. New Sinewave Generator features. Each voice now has a sinewave on oscillator 1 expanding the sound possibilities of the synth. One of the key new features on the C O D E is the Filter Control section, which allows you to sweep through all the filter types in real time with complete MIDI control. The switches in the Filter Control section give momentary control of assignable parameters. The Filter Control Section
· Sweep through all the filter types in real time.
· Increase or decrease the filter frequency.
· Increase the envelope amount.
· Increase the resonance amount.
· Filter ENV Delay.
· Invert the filter envelope.
· "CUT" Filter Decay.
· Works on the CODE synth engine or external input. The 8 voice version is configured as a 8 input or quad filterbank. 
Bank 3 "The Riot" bank included (a $139 value!) Bank 4 All New "Cadix" bank included (a $189 value!)"

New Studio Electronics Boomstar Eurorack Modules - 3003, 4075 & 5089 Filters & AMP / VCA Overdrive

The new Studio Electronics & Pittsburgh Modular Boomstar eurorack modules are now shipping. The filters retail for $269 each and the AMP retails for $209. See the sponsors on the right for availability. Details via Studio Electronics:

"Our 5089 ('Moog') filter has the roundest, slickest tone of all the Boomstar’s filters. Go easy on it, and round, creamy buttery flavors wrap the oscillators in earthy warmth; smash it and a meaty, satisfying overdrive, and a maximum harvest of vintage 1960s and 1970s organic‑sounding, second‑order harmonic distortion fill the plate. Every setting is balanced and bountiful. Looking for traditional R ’n B baselines and leads? Focus here on the rich saturation of this benchmark filter and its symmetrical cascades of generation-stretching timbres. All Boomstar Modular filters are hand-built in the U. S. Pick-and-Place all the way!

---

Our 3003 ('Roland Tb-303') filter has the most gentle sonic touch of its partners in the Boomstar fold, but nevertheless is quite capable of shaping precise, very dynamic tone. Whether or not this STUDIO ELECTRONICS filter is filling its traditional baseline boxing niche, driving a harsh, liquid, acid-like tone, a softer more rubber-bandy SH-101-ish presence, or out of the bass range altogether, leading the way, all is within easy reach of this surprisingly warm and versatile VCF. The 3003 can be distinctly vocal at times, especially when one is willing to put grittier, more distorted desires aside.

---

Our 4075 ('ARP') filter is the most requested of the Boomstar filter models, perhaps owing to its uniqueness. Has there ever been a better match for a square wave? It weaves dreams with “glidey,” 70s basslines, is a natural in the lead department, and feels as if a temper tantrum simmers a mere micron beneath its veneer of faux respectability. Aggressive and articulate, this fresh ARP can snap punishing kick drum sounds out as well as color with bright, edgy, stringy tones for essential arpeggiations.

---

From Designer Tim Caswell’s own hand:

The amplifier (AMP) is a 2 stage Class A discrete design using 3 pairs of hand matched transistors. Envelope is usually applied to ST1/1. ST1/2 goes thru an attenuverter and can be used for envelope or modulation. ST2/1 goes to the 2nd stage, and is typically used for volume control. ST2/2 goes thru an attenuverter and is typically used for modulation.

The AMP, the 5089, and the 3003 are Class A circuits. They draw more current from the +12 rail than from the -12 volt rail. If the system power supply is under-sized, hum or buzz may be heard. In that case, larger filter capacitors and/or a larger power transformer will be needed. The 4075 draws equally from both rails, and is more immune to hum.

Like our filters Boomstar Modular AMP modules are hand-built entirely in the U. S. of A

BOOMSTAR IN GENERAL

THE BOOMSTAR MODULAR SYSTEM realizes the seemingly inevitable eurorack sprawl of our semi-modular Boomstar desktop synth, consisting of 11 modules that dramatically open up the root level programming and sound sculpting of that lush and potent, and already flexible Boomstar sound.

What makes it tick: Let’s tick ‘em off: Class A 5089, 3003 and AMP *, rugged through-hole construction, discrete circuitry, hand-matched transistors in the filters and amplifier, multi-filtered, hand-crafted, Premium Quality Analog sound. We’d like to think we’ve learned a few things bringing the MIDIMINI, SE1-X, ATC-X, polyphonic CODE Omega synths, ModMax pedals, C2s, Pre 2, and Slate Pro Audio Dragon and Fox to market, and the air waves worldwide.

Our Boomstar Modular System’s 5089 circuit mirrors faithfully the filter design from the Minimoog—it is not a style; it’s not a type, not reminiscent of, not vintage inspired—it is the analog sound standard manufactured anew, and how we love it so. Apply the same thinking to our 4075, 3003, and SE80 filters vis-à-vis their originals, and you’ve caught our drift; the Oscillation and AMP modules also resonate with the Mini’s timeless designs, functionality, and gorgeous, gleaming sound—modernized and reimagined by the maestro Tim Caswell himself, but we’re just getting started here…"

In superb condition, with the front panel looking just the same as when it was originally made."

Studio Electronics MidiMini Moog Rack Synthesizer

SN 1297 via this auction

"Studio Electronics MidiMini, essentially a MiniMoog in a rack. The initial runs were called MidiMoogs, the story goes that the name changed when Studio Electronics ran out of original MiniMoogs to convert and started using some cloned components (although there's also an alternate version of the story where the name changed solely for copyright reasons). This machine is in excellent cosmetic shape and has been working fine doing bassline duty in a lightly used, smoke-free home studio, however PLEASE NOTE: it could use a service as the oscillators go very wobbly and unstable when adjusting their settings. I've posted a sound file (http://www.scientitian.com/files/Midimini1.mp3) which just has a normal bass sound at the start and then at 34 secs I open up the filter and start adjusting the footage and waveform settings and you can hear the oscillators going loopy, then settling down again as they're retuned (please ignore the intermittent white noisy helicopter sound in the background, it's not from the Midimini but another synth leaking through the mixer which I didn't notice when doing the recording). This MidiMini was purchased from E-Bay several years ago and although it was advertised as being in perfect working condition the oscillators have had this issue from the get go, oscillator #1 has been the main offender in the past but, in testing the unit yesterday, it now seems to be working fine again." inside a Midi Mini.

STUDIO ELECTRONICS C.O.D.E. 4 with AMP Overdrive

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

"Studio Electronics C.O.D.E. 4 voice Analog synthesiser with AMP OVERDRIVE

The C.O.D.E. is the flagship of Studio electronics and represents the last development of the Omega series on which it is based. The C.O.D.E. is mainly intended to be used in studio and with sequencers, rather than for keyboard players. Compared to the Omega, one of the key new features on the C.O.D.E. is the filter control section, which allows you to sweep through all the filter types in real time with complete MIDI control. The switches in the Filter Control section give momentary control of assignable parameters.

This 4 voice polyphonic synthesizer (can be expanded up to 8 voices), four part multitimbral stereo analog synthesizer is based on discrete circuits. The C.O.D.E. comes factory-fitted with a Moog filter and an SEM filter (Oberheim) on each voice. Another two optional filter boards (TB303, Arp2600 or CS80) can be added per voice. The filters can be completely controlled per MIDI. As with the Omega serie, the C.O.D.E. offers 128 Multimode patches and 512 Factory Presets.

This version comes with the following extras :

overdrive on all voices (warm and fuzzy classic analog amp overdrive for each stereo voice),
discrete opamps on all voices (each voice is much puncher and clearer before it gets routed through the mixer),
Midiminiafy on voice 1 and 2 (adds a pure sinewave and a discrete moog VCA).

On demand, I can downgrade this model to 2 voices and decrease the price consequently. Let me know if you are interested."

Keith Emerson's 'Split' Minimoog Up for Auction

via this auction where you'll find a few more pics while up. The seller is Tony (Aviator) Wride. This one in via Senso.

"A unique opportunity to own a piece of Rock history! This Minimoog was one of the earliest ones owned by Keith Emerson (26 June 1973 date on keyboard) and he had the keyboard and electronics separated so that it could be used in his stage setup. Basically the keyboard was set up to slide into place when required while the electronics section remained out of the way. Please read the details below about how I ended up getting it in 1992 and look at the pictures. I have included some pictures taken in 1992 when I got the synth as well as some archive pictures of Keith and the Minimoog on stage.

THE STORY
In the early 90s I did a lot of work on analogue synths working for a number of well known bands as well as building my own analogue synth called “The Aviator”. It was basically a hobby for me. Please Google Tony Wride and Exclusively Analogue to find out more. You can ignore all the flying related stuff associated with my job!

In 1992 I was doing some work for Vince Clarke of Erasure prior to their Abbaesque tour and went to a rehearsal studio at Brent Cross in North London. Next door to the Erasure studio was another band rehearsing for their tour and it turned out to be ELP preparing for the “Black Moon” Tour! Keith had been one of my keyboard heroes and I never ever thought I would get the chance to meet him let alone see him rehearsing. I met Will Alexander, who was Keith's technician, and got talking about the famous big Moog which they planned to take on tour. "We would like to get it fitted with MIDI" said Will and I then suggested fitting a Kenton MIDI retrofit for a MiniMoog which is what I ended up doing! (See the pictures). Whilst working on the Modular I talked to Keith and Will about the gear they were going to use on tour and Will said "We need another SE1 (Basically a Minimoog in a rack with MIDI) to go in the rack but the dealer said they can't get one in time". It just so happened that I had just traded a mint condition Minimoog for an SE1 with a studio in London so sitting in the back of my car was an SE1! When I said to Will that I could get them an SE1 for the tour he asked "How soon?" "How does 3 minutes sound?" I said. Talk about coincidence!!

Keith ended up with my SE1 for the tour but I was now Minimoogless. Fortunately sitting in amongst a collection of unused ELP gear was the electronics section of a Minimoog looking in a very sorry state. I asked Will what had happened and what was happening to the remains of the Minimoog. "It's one of Keith's early MiniMoogs that had the keyboard separated from it so that it could be mounted on the Hammond. It doesn't work and the keyboard is in storage." We ended up agreeing to me having the non working "split" Minimoog as part of the deal for the SE1 on an understanding that they would send me the keyboard in the future.

EMT 251 Replacement Display - Hi Res Color TFT Graphics

via this auction
Not a synth, but it should be.
This one in via Joel.

auction details (note this is not this Studio Electronics from what I can tell): "The EMT 251 Digital Reverbs are great units but nearly every model now suffers a burned out display. Finally, after many inquiries from frustrated 251 owners, we now offer the DJRS 251 Color display, designed by Doug Jane. With its bright, high contrast color graphics, the DJRS 251 is a big improvement over the old dim, monochrome display. If you've got a 251 with a dead or dying display, this nice upgrade will make the EMT 251 a real pleasure to use and will substantially increase the value of your machine.

Installation is fairly simple and can be done by anyone with with basic tech skills in about 3 hours. Your original black housing, front panel (with EMT logo), and side mount pieces will be re-used. The illustrated 12 page manual gives clear, step by step instructions. You take off the top assembly, remove the old display, and unsolder two wires. The PCB is removed and the new PCB and display are installed, using a cable adapter. Now four DIP switches are set –– three select the display time out mode and the fourth selects “250 or non 250” software. Reinstall the top assembly, and you're done! Includes new PC board with display, adapter cable, and installation manual.

If you're an 251 owner in Southern California and you'd rather that we do the upgrade, it's not a problem. The install, including a general check out and calibration, is about $275. For more information about this product, please contact us.

We also sell upgrade kits that add the EMT 250 reverb program to 251's. For info and pricing, please contact us.
