"This collection of vintage synthesizers has grown with me for years. Most all of these instruments have been used on many projects, including VeggieTales, a variety of remixes, and many PlayStation video games and marketing and promotional discs. Most recently they were used on the Mass Effect Andromeda video games soundtrack. They have also been sampled and are part of the SoundVault Collection and the Kurzweil Analog Collection for the K2000 series samplers.
VEMIA note: to forestall many inquiries, The seller’s idea is that he wants to sell it as a whole. That may or may not work out in this auction. If it doesn’t, obviously he’ll be free to do whatever he wants after the auction finishes.

It all works. Everything has been kept in a clean, smoke-free, climate-controlled studio. I have always fixed things myself, so everything is operational and sounding great. I have repair notes on the synths that received attention, though most of them have worked great over the years, without much need for repairs. There are also several MIDI to CV converters so they can all be controlled by computer, plus cables if desired. And a few have cases and manuals.

Inside the ARP Factory: The Design Flaw That Destroyed America's Synth Empire

video upload by Industries from the Past

Update: looks this one was AI generated. Leaving it up for history's sake. Thanks goes to lfrancis in the comments for catching it.

"In the 1970s, ARP Instruments ruled the electronic music world. Founded by NASA engineer Alan R. Pearlman, ARP captured 40% of the global synthesizer market. Their legendary instruments gave a voice to R2-D2, communicated with aliens in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and fueled hits by Stevie Wonder and David Bowie. Yet, by 1981, this American tech empire was bankrupt. What went wrong?

This video explores the incredible rise and devastating fall of ARP. We uncover how the company was destroyed from the inside out by a single disastrous bet: the Avatar. Pushed through by management over Pearlman's fierce objections, this flawed guitar synthesizer suffered from crippling latency and diverted crucial funds away from keyboard innovation. Discover the tragic story of how poor leadership and a 40-millisecond design flaw silenced a historic factory, leaving behind a musical legacy that outlived the company itself."

Sequential Circuits Six-Trak song Pure VCO Analog 27.3.2026.

video upload by Veli-Matti Rautio

"Got new Eprom V14 to Six-Trak and changed it. Next was testing the synth's working and here is that test session. Arp & latch sound nr. 14, lead & bass sound 01. No additional effects used, only Six-Trak's pure single VCO analog sound. Sony FDR-AX43A video kamera. Composed, played live, arranged and improvised by me in Studio Tupos 27.3.2026. Nr. 1544.
Tilasin Ebay:stä Six-Trakiin uuden V14 Epromin. Vaihdoin sen paikalleen ja pitihän sitä testata, että toimiiko enää? En toki saanut Six-Trakin sekkaria synkkaamaan RX21 rumpalin ohjaukseen, mutta sentään soitto onnistui :) Arp & latch soundi nr. 14, soolo ja basso nr. 01. Sony FDR-AX43A kuvaajana."

"A really beautiful example of the original clone (if such a thing is possible) of the ARP 2600. Pro-built, best components, magnetically shielded speakers, large reverb tank, and all in a seriously beautiful case.
The case was made by Low-Gain Electronics / MonoRocket, and has not been in production for a long time. This one was bought new in 2016 by a well-known modular synth maker but not used until after it Ithe case) was sold on VEMIA in 2020 (for over 400GBP plus shipping).

The TTSH is rev 2.4. It has been thoroughly checked for this auction, and is in full working order with a couple of quirks (similar to the original 2600s): some VCO and clock bleed, only noticeable on close listening - and which the designers say many users never notice. Packing 18GBP."

Rare Custom DIY ARP-Style Analog Synthesizer – One-of-a-Kind Estate Find

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

via this eBay listing

"Offered here is a truly unique and intriguing analog synthesizer, discovered at an estate sale in Los Angeles belonging to a longtime record collector. This piece appears to be a custom-built or prototype-style instrument inspired by classic ARP designs—featuring elements reminiscent of both the ARP 2600 and later Odyssey models.

The layout, switching, and signal flow strongly reflect deep knowledge of vintage ARP circuitry, while the construction suggests a highly skilled builder with access to professional-grade metalwork and components. The unit is housed in what appears to be an ARP pedal synthesizer case, though the internal assembly is not permanently mounted—indicating this may have been a custom project or experimental build. It has one etched circuit board on a module and the rest are on perfboard with point to point wiring.

Notable features:

ARP 2600-style panel layout with Odyssey-style switching influences

Point-to-point wiring with included schematic diagram

Separate keyboard connected via cabling

Vintage analog components throughout

Powers on (unit lights up), though full functionality has not been tested

Whether this is a one-off custom build, a studio project, or an experimental instrument from a knowledgeable enthusiast, it represents a fascinating piece of analog synthesis history. With some restoration or calibration, it has the potential to become a highly expressive and unique instrument."

"This is a unique opportunity to buy a monster synth, that is also a piece of synth pop history. Two cabinets plus the original keyboard, all lids, interconnection cables and original manual included. The first cabinet is a Roland System-700 Lab is one of the rarest and most sought-after modular synthesizers ever built.
Introduced in 1976 as part of Roland’s legendary System-700 series, the Lab version was designed as a compact, self-contained modular laboratory for advanced sound design, research, and education — but with the same discrete analog circuitry, massive sound, and build quality as the full studio system.

This one was owned by Bill Vorn, keyboardist of the synth-pop band Rational Youth, used in the following albums dated 1981 to 1983 : Rational Youth, Saturdays in Silesia, City of Night and I want to see the light, as reported in the certification signed by Bill Vorn himself, provided in the item. The second one is another original SYS 700 one, connected and internally cabled to the main one by means of the original cable, with the super rare modules that you see in the picture: an additional, multimode filter, the great output module and… a professionally custom module with a perfect ARP 2600 VCF clone… plus other stuff.

All the best Sys 700 modules, featuring the iconic vintage Roland tone — warm and incredibly dynamic — and offers an extraordinary range of sonic possibilities thanks to its flexible patch architecture. Perfect for collectors, professional studios, or synth enthusiasts looking for a centerpiece instrument with historical and musical significance. The system sports a comprehensive modular architecture with 3 oscillators, 2 filters, 2 VCAs, 6 envelopes (!), mixer, phaser, spring reverb (HUGE) and …utilities.

Legendary System-700 sound — powerful basses, evolving textures, experimental tones. What to say more? Fully functional and in very good cosmetic condition with minor signs of use. You will never find another in such condition. Last call…"
