Analogue Solutions Maximus 8-Voice Polysynth

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

via this Reverb listing

"This is the big boy 8-voice Maximus. It's in superb condition and includes everything it would if you purchased it new. Analogue Solutions makes the most 70's sounding synths in the modern era IMO. Raw, present, fat, but with all the modern accoutrement (modern MIDI, connectivity, etc). I have owned all the legendary vintage big boy polys at some point or another and the Maximus is on another level. Most would agree the 8-voice Oberheim is (EVS) is one of the greatest vintage polys of all time. The Maximus is essentially the modern equivalent but with a dedicated sequencer per voice, more global controls, built in delay per voice, and a superior mixer section. This is unit 15, but serial #22 by special request. I suspect no one will ever build an analog synth like this again as it's a labor of love and costly.

I recommend local pick-up here in Vegas, but I have the original crate it shipped in from England. These rarely come up for sale, especially Stateside, and now with tariffs the way they are you're gonna get hammered buying a high ticket import like this. If you were considering a Maximus, here's your chance.

Hand assembled by Tom in the UK."

The Florian Schneider Collection to Be Auctioned at JULIEN*S November 19

via JULIEN*S

"THE FLORIAN SCHNEIDER COLLECTION

Auction to be held at Musician's Hall of Fame & Museum, Nashville, on November 19

An incredible collection of more than 450 artifacts from the life and career of Florian Schneider, co-founder of the pioneer electronic band Kraftwerk."

Pics and videos featuring some of the gear below, and his Lederhosen for good measure (thanks greg!).

Update: the post has been fully updated with all the synth related gear. This may just well be the longest post to be featured on the site. I wanted to capture all the pics for all of the details including notes, scuffs, and of course serial numbers. It's an interesting look into what he used, the condition he keped his gear, in some cases, how he actually used his gear. Note the phonetics on the keys of the Casio CZ-101 and DX-100. Note the Midi Switch Box with a built-in speaker? What's that about? Note the camouflage key strap on the Korg RK-100 Remote Keyboard. Did he pick it out himself or did the keytar just come with it? Note the repeat midi controllers and the MIDI saxaphones. Wind was his primary instrument. You'll find a ton of the acoustic gear he used in the other listings. This is a fascinating insight into both what and how he used his gear.

Rack Mount Sennheiser VSM-201 Vocoder

Starting Bid $5,000

Estimate $20,000 - $40,000 USD

A late 1970s Sennheiser VSM 201 Vocoder with no serial number from the personal studio and collection of Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk (see images). While it’s said that only a few dozen of these Vocoders were produced, a few examples made it into the hands of forward-thinking musical artists including Herbie Hancock, Daft Punk, and of course, Kraftwerk, who used a VSM-201 like this on their albums Man Machine (1978) and Computerworld (1981). The VSM-201 has an intelligible sound that has not yet been bested by modern gear. Includes power cable. This VSM-201 has been removed from its wooden enclosure (which bears the serial number plate) and modified with a metal rack mount casing, presumably for live use. Requires 240v, IEC power cable not included.

Dimensions: 19 x 9 x 9 inches

Category: Kraftwerk, Equipment

Provenance: PROVENANCE From the Estate of Florian Schneider

Analogue Solutions Semblance: 4 Voice

Additional NOISEBUG Listings

"SUPER RARE!

Pristine condition - Fully functional, Comes assembled to a 13U rack.

Semblance / 4Voice is a self contained TRUE analogue synthesiser. The voice circuitry is entirely analogue, using all discrete and op-amp components. There is no voice DSP happening! Semblance / 4Voice has a similar sound and specifi cation to the classic Oberheim SEM, but with many improvements such as MIDI, Noise, more modulation. Note however, Semblance is not intended to be and is not a clone of the SEM. If you want a true SEM sound, buy a SEM! The 4Voice version has a Poly mode, to allow four the voices to be used as one big 4-voice poly synth"

"Here’s the full video session showing an improvised vocoding performance with the Analogue Solutions AS Vocoder. This unit is built into a Colossus Classic, though it’s also available as a standalone module.

Deep, low-pitched speech runs directly into the vocoder, while Oscillator 1 provides the carrier signal.

The AS Vocoder features 12 sets of 4 band-pass filters, with flexible CV routing, muting, and re-patching options. A true sound design powerhouse."

The Matrix is Breathing | Colossus Synthesizer #shorts

"One of two colossal pin matrices on the Analogue Solutions Colossus synthesizer driving this hypnotic sequence into uncharted territory. Every connection is a new possibility, every route a step deeper into evolving soundscapes. The sheer scale invites exploration, and the tactile freedom makes it as much an instrument of performance as it is a work of art."

Analogue Solutions Colossus and LED CV Patch Cables | Light Show

video upload by rezfilter

"Colossus Classic running a tight percussive sequence. All analog.

12 VCOs, twin sequencers, spring reverbs — a modular synthesizer built like nothing else. Direct patching, no menus.

LED CV patch cables from Analogue Solutions light up with the voltage — green for positive, red for negative. The whole patch blinks and pulses in time with the sequence. The cables turn the rig into a moving light show, every modulation visible as it happens.

No effects. No edits. Straight from the source."
