EMS Polysynthi
via this craigslist post
"Designers: Peter and Rose Zinovieff, (Delay by David Cockerell)
Four Octave keyboard with Aftertouch.
Four Octave Oscillator Bank.
Noise and External input with envelope follower.
2 x VC LFO.
2 x VC ADSR.
2 pole/4 pole VCF.
VC Analogue Delay(This was the original design for what is now the ElectroHarmonix Memory Man) .
Less than 30 built.
This is a very special, obviously rare synthesizer. It is in excellent condition. I purchased this from Sonic Boom of Spacemen3 and Spectrum(I can provide proof/put you in touch to confirm this if you'd like). I had it serviced by a very well known EMS tech in August 2008. There is no serial number on this unit but Sonic was told that it was #1 when he bought it back in the mid 90's. Cosmetically, the biggest issue is that the plastic frames around some of the switches are gone. I never spent any time looking for these but I imagine that they are difficult/impossible to find. There are small tears in the tolex covering. All switches and pots are working 100%. The only thing worth mentioning is that during the shipment of this from the UK to SanFrancisco, the C key got pushed in about 2 millimeters and will rub against the C# key when pushed all of the way down. I'm sure that it would be a simple fix for anyone, but it never bothered me."

anyone know if there are more?
Update: EMS Polysynthi, not an ARP Odyssey, and apparently it's not a drawing according to waveterm in the comments. Pretty amazing shot then.
Update: see this post.

Polysynthi Sketch 2
Part two of this post via ben.
"i've done another polysynthi thing, this time on its own. i recorded it 'pure' with no fx, eq or anything [except for the built-in delay]. i just layered up a few simple parts. its only short though"
Title link takes you to the sample. Thanks ben!

Polysynthi Sketch
via ben:
"I did a little 'sketch' on my EMS polysynthi yesterday and thought you might like to hear it. The polysynthi as you probably know is a very unusual synth:
a] its the only british polysynth [as far as I know]
b] its the first ever synth with built in delay [voltage controlled - very cool]
c] only about 30 were made
d] all the knobs are backwards [they go from 10 to 0 anti-clockwise]
e] it has an odd form of after touch whereby the whole keyboard pivots
down and sends out a CV
f] it looks like something out of playschool
g] its the hardest synth I have ever tried to fathom
actually, its a very limited synth because it uses divide-down technology [a bit like the polymoog] but I like it's quirkiness and put through the lexicon 224 [which came out the same year - 1978] it makes quite a racket"

EMS String Machine Samples
via Norman Fay on AH:
"A sample set for Native Instruments "Kontakt 2".
Before I sold my Synthi AKS a couple of years ago, I sampled a bunch of the instrument's raw waveforms to use in my sampler. I didn't bother with any of the stock EMS sounds, as I can easily make them with my modular. I was/am kind of aiming for a virtual polysynthi-type effect.
This is a '70's string ensemble type sound, there are 2 maps used, one is VCO1 sawtooth and VCO2 sawtooth together, one is modulated by VCO 3 triengle at low frequency, the other by the transient generator in looping mode. It covers a good width of keys, and is sampled at either fourths or minor thirds, I forget. The other map is a straight sawtooth. Layered together they sound quite rich, with plenty of movement, but not overpoweringly fat.
10.2 Mb, .rar compressed.
It's a NI Kontakt 2 format set, but the folder has all of the samples in looped .wav format, so they should be importable into any sampler that can deal w/that. Obviously the single VCO sawtooth map could be useful for all kinds of sounds.
Samples were made by me, programming done by me, it's all my work. You can do whatever you want with them, share all you like, but please don't claim that you made them, or sell them on.

The Polysynthis is the Red, Blue and Yellow on black synth.
Via sequencer.de. One more shot of a modular after the hop.

Click here for pdf scans of various synth brochures and articles. I tried to list all models below. Apologies for the long list but if you are searching for this stuff via your favorite search engine, this is the only way it'll come up, and finding that oddball rare scan can be absolute gold.
