1973 Vintage Moog Minimoog Model D SN 5233

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


via this Reverb listing

"Offered here is an early production Moog Minimoog Model D, serial #5233, from my smoke-free recording studio, where it has lived for roughly the past twenty years.

This instrument has been featured extensively throughout my own work, appearing on many albums over the course of my 20 year ownership. Prior to that, it belonged to acclaimed Portland keyboardist Ramsey Embick, who toured internationally with The Pointer Sisters during the 1980s using this Minimoog, and performed on recording sessions for artists including Jo Bisso, Alfonzo, and others. Several touring-era modifications performed during his ownership remain intact and are described below.

This is not a museum piece... it is an honest, professionally used early Minimoog with decades of musical history. The front panel remains exceptionally clean and highly legible, all keys play well, and the instrument retains its original character while remaining a fantastic sounding and inspiring synthesizer."

Jynth - v2.0 Update


video upload by Fingerlab

"Meet Jynth, the new synth by Fingerlab for iPhone, iPad and Mac — the warm, analog soul of the iconic Roland Juno-106, reimagined with a groundbreaking Physics Engine for organic, living sound.

Designed for leads, basses, keys & pads, Jynth delivers that classic vintage character you love — housed in a meticulously crafted, photo-realistic interface that looks as good as it sounds. Get it now for free on the App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/jynth-p...

Jynth v2.0 update introduces two unique new feature: Preset Per Note & Preset Ribbon, inspired by the music of Aphex Twin.

Preset Per Note allows you to assign a different preset to each key of the piano keyboard, so that every note you play triggers not only a different pitch, but an entirely different sound — a new timbre, a new texture, a new character. Preset Ribbon allows you to select a collection of presets and glide between them in real time, simply by sliding your finger across the ribbon.

Shape your sound with a full analog-style signal chain:
From the dual oscillators and resonant VCF filter to the ADSR envelope, LFO and built-in arpeggiator — every parameter has been carefully tuned to feel as musical as it sounds.

Go further with 5 studio-grade effects:
Tremolo, Flanger, Chorus, Delay & Reverb — stack them to build rich, evolving textures and cinematic soundscapes.

Ellitone Fn_block01 & 02: Ambient Improv & Tech Demo


video upload by Andre Bregegere

"Exploring the unique sonic world of the Ellitone Fn_block series. In this video, I take an improvised dive into the Fn_block01 Polysynth and the Fn_block02 Notepad, running them through the lush, expansive algorithms of the UAFX Golden Reverberator.

The video begins with extensive annotations detailing the architecture of these two unique devices. The performance itself was recorded live as a single take to capture the raw, semi-modular character of the Ellitone hardware.

Recorded live from the Golden Reverberator output on one stereo track, then lightly mixed and mastered in Pro Tools.

GEAR:
• Ellitone Fn_block01 Polysynth: A mini, highly minimalist 8-bit digital synthesizer featuring 4-voice polyphony, 25 waveforms, and 6 preset amplitude envelopes. Instead of traditional knobs, it utilizes touch plates for control and features a unique semi-modular architecture that allows for physical patching using crocodile clips on its hardware spacers.
• Ellitone Fn_block02 Notepad: A compact, handheld MIDI controller designed to interact seamlessly with the Fn_block series. It features 12 touch-activated note keys, 12 selectable musical scales, a 5-octave range, and a built-in phrase looper that can record, loop, and layer up to 50 notes in real time.
• Universal Audio UAFX Golden Reverberator: a premium stereo reverb pedal featuring studio-grade emulations of classic hardware, including vintage spring, plate, and lush 1970s digital halls. Here I am using the Hall setting."

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

Microsound Magic - B00GA, HAINBACH's new Instrument with @audiothing


video upload by HAINBACH and AudioThing

"This was a long time in the making - B00GA, my new VST/AU/CLAP instrument with AudioThing is finally here! When I discoverd the HP 8006A, nicknamed "B00GA" in 2019, I was amazed by the precision funk it oozed. Making it a plugin was on my mind since 2020, but only now AudioThing and me found and approach that would make it worth as a virtual instrument. We turned it into a microsound sampler, that sequences tiny sounds and noises within the wonderful HP interface. This opens up new textures and sonic worlds to explore. We hope B00GA brings you joy!"

"B00GA is a studio and live instrument designed to create experimental rhythms and tonal textures. Inspired by a rare piece of lab equipment, the Hewlett-Packard Word Generator 8006A, it offers an excitingly different way to sequence clicks, pulses, and noise.

Use it to create tight grooves, off-kilter beats, and forever shifting micro-sound patterns. Speed them up into rich drones and tonal structures. It comes with a suite of five vintage-flavored effects that allow for unique radiophonic effects. From brain-dance to the dance floor to advanced sound design, let’s B00GA!"

Percussion and vibrato effects

Erik Norlander's Farfisa Combo Compact I 61-Key Organ

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by moogfoundation



via this Reverb listing

"Vintage Italian combo organ with classic '60s tone in a sharp-looking chassis. It sounds awesome, especially through FX pedals. 60s Brit pop sounds, naturally, but also early Pink Floyd psychedelic vibes. This unit needs repair, but it’s a great low-cost restoration project for someone handy!

The unit powers up and makes sounds, but the voltage to the keyboard needs adjusting. In the embedded YouTube demo video, a successful demo can be heard in the C scale, but all of the following keyboard voltage issues exist (potentially among others): C in the bass octave plays an F below; B in the bass octave plays a D# below and is too soft; G# in the bass octave is too soft.

Other issues:

Vibrato doesn't work. All Vibrato switches have some effect on the tone, but there is no actual vibrato
Reverb doesn't work. Reverb has a tube preamp (cool!)
Bass 16 / Strings 16 - same issues as bass octave but an octave higher
Bass 16 / Strings 16 - C2 and B2 do not sound
Flute 8 / All 8' stops - same issues as #6 and 7 but an octave higher again
Top C note sticks mechanically
This lot does NOT include the bass or volume pedals.

This organ is built in combination with its own carrying case. The top lid is removed to reveal the organ, and the bottom opens up to storage for wires and the fold-out, built-in legs (shown in some of the images). This lid is missing the suitcase-style carrying handle, which is likely easily replaceable. The case itself also has a crack on the right side.

The Farfisa Compact is known for its bright, buzzy organ tones and reedy bite, perfect for psych rock, garage, and early synth-pop textures. Whether you’re restoring it for stage use or just want that iconic combo organ flavor in your studio, this is a great piece to start with.

Details:

Multiple tone tabs for organ voices and percussion
Built-in vibrato (needs repair, as mentioned) and tone booster
49 keys with bass section on lower range
There is nothing like the sound of a Farfisa organ. Heard on classic tracks by Pink Floyd, The Doors, and The B-52s, these organs helped define the sound of '60s and '70s rock, and still holds its own in modern music.

30% of the sale goes to the Bob Moog Foundation, supporting electronic music history, innovation, and education."

Two Vintage Moog Sonic Sixes

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


One via this Reverb listing, also on eBay

2nd via this Reverb listing, also on eBay

Descriptions follow.

1st Sonic Six: "The Moog Sonic Six is a rare, portable analog synthesizer with classic Moog tone and ladder filter, featuring dual VCOs, sample-and-hold, ring modulation, and a built-in speaker—all housed in a rugged suitcase-style design perfect for studio or stage. Its unique sound-shaping capabilities including X/Y modulation, and vintage character make it a prized collector’s piece and a powerful tool for experimental or classic analog synthesis. While this synthesizer is often offered by sellers at a "high on crack" price, I am pleased to offer this one for less than half of what some delusional synth dealers are trying to get for it.

The synthesizer is in good condition, but the original "Moog" logo sticker on the outside was peeled off. The power switch does not illuminate when the synthesizer is powered on. The synthesizer uses a standard IEC power cord, and one will be included. Please see photos.

This Moog Sonic Six has been serviced by Synthchaser in August 2025. Work done included:

Cleaned switches, pots and sliders
Refurbished keybed - new bushings, cleaned bus bars & contacts
Tuned & Calibrated Synthesizer"

2nd Sonic Six: "This vintage Moog Sonic Six Suitcase Analog Synthesizer powers on and makes sound, but is being offered as-is at a discount due to cosmetic and functional issues. The A, X, and Y oscillators and the Moog Ladder filter appear to be working. This can be a great opportunity for someone willing to put a little work in to get this rare synthesizer below market. The synth is being sold as-is for parts or repair, with no returns.

Please see this video showing the functional status of the synthesizer. : [video above]

Issues I noticed (you may find other issues, but the synthesizer is still being sold as-is with no returns):

Cosmetic: A power cord has been hardwired to this unit in place of the power inlet. The exterior of the case is in rough looking condition and some screws are missing and things feel loose. The synthesizer is missing all knobs and switch caps. Some of the keys are stained. 2 rubber feet are missing, so the case needs something behind it to stay open when in use.

Functional: Oscillator B appears to be dead. The ring modulator appears to not be working (perhaps due to oscillator B not working, ring mod was not tested with external input). Key contacts are dirty and not working well, bushings need to be replaced. The contour generator appears to be broken. The Contour/Pitch Control pot for the filter was replaced with a pot that doesn't extend fully through the panel, so you can't use it. Pots, sliders and switches need cleaning. Calibration needed."
