In the late nineteen seventies, Korg was apparently determined to open the world of synthesizers to more than just keyboard players.

Introduced in 1979 just a year after the classic MS-10 and MS-20 the MS-03 converts incoming audio signals into a range of control voltage signals. The MS-03 can drive just about any monophonic analog synthesizer, with outputs that support both the Moog/Arp/Eurorack standard of one volt per octave, and the less common Korg/Yamaha standard of hertz to volts. The unit also has two different types of gate outputs.

For users of the Moog/Arp/Eurorack standard there is a tuning and width control. The tune control is used to "tune" the MS-20 to the attached synth, and the "width" control adjust the precise range of one octave.

Korg MS-20: The circuitry of the MS-03 is similar to the Pitch to Voltage circuit in the Korg MS-20, but a comparison of the two converters shows the MS-03 is faster and more accurate than the MS-20.

Korg MS-03: The MS-03 has many of the same controls as found on the Korg X911 Guitar Synthesizer without the synthesizer components. Features found on both units include footswitch-operated Portamento, Synthesizer "Hold" and "Cancel" functions.

[Condition]

This MS-03 is in perfect working condition and in Very Good condition.
This unit was checked by professional technician.

Felix Visser, the Man Behind Synton Has Passed Away

Some sad news in. Felix Visser, the man behind Synton and such synth clasics as the Syrinx, Fenix, 3000 series modular, and more, has passed away. He recently worked with This Is Not Rocket Science on their Fenix synthesizer as well as the inspiration behind the AnalogFX SER-2020. We lost one of the greats, a synth pioneer.

via Wikipedia:

"Synton was a manufacturer and distributor of high-end electronic music equipment in the Netherlands. They were one of the principal importers of music equipment from E-Mu, Ensoniq, and Fairlight in Europe. Felix Visser, the founder of Synton began the company in 1973 after purchasing an EMS Synthi AKS and setting out to produce similar equipment with more of the functionality that he was looking for in an analog synth. Eventually, the company developed Synton Syntovox vocoders as well as the System 2000 and System 3000 modular synthesizers that were sold to Karlheinz Stockhausen and distributed in the United States by Bob Moog's Big Briar Inc. In 1983, Felix Visser, product specialist Marc Paping, and designer Bert Vermeulen created the Synton Syrinx, a monophonic analog synthesizer that contained unique features such as a metal touchplate for manipulating sound as well as a formant filter."

The image on the left is a screenshot from an interview with him at the 2018 Soundmit synth event (embedded below and previously featured here).

See the Synton label for numerous posts featuring his creations.

"Spiral Motion is a collection of 64 Arp Presets for Moog Messenger.
The patches cover a variety of Arp tones: mild and aggressive, deep and bright, simple and complex, soft and punchy, musical and experimental.

🧬 All sounds are very dynamic: they have synced modulations, and they are velocity-sensitive. You may hold a chord and add accents to the arpeggio with velocity, or add expressiveness via aftertouch.
And, of course, you should play with Envelopes, Filter Parameters, Arp Patterns and Range, LFO Rate to get the best experience of the presets.

📦 Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/mess...

🧿 The soundset is universal, the Arps are suitable for all genres of electronic music, including Techno, House, Trance, Lounge, Downtempo, Funk, Disco, Pop, Acid, Hardcore, IDM, Drum'n'Bass, Breaks, Breakbeat, Trap, Electro, Ambient, Dubstep, EDM, Synth-Pop and others.

Spacious Synth Layers with Prophet-10, Moog One & CP-88 | Deep Space 2025-12-08 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, and ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CP-88.

Sustained bass tones form the foundation, over which spacious synths and electric piano textures gradually layer and evolve.

The Prophet-10 is connected to the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY, where reverb and filtering add depth and dimension.

On the Moog One, synth pads are performed with aftertouch modulation used to gently bend and animate the sound.

The Nord Lead provides the sustained bass tone, with a slow LFO applied to the filter for subtle movement.

The CP-88 plays a Wurlitzer-style electric piano tone, processed through the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII, adding delay and tight micro-loop textures that blend into the atmosphere."

Moog Musonics Sonic V Synthesizer

via this eBay listing

"We got this unit from its original owner. It was very well taken care of over the years and came to us in great working order for a non-refurbished vintage piece - everything works, there might be slight crackle from dirty contacts here and there, and some controls might not move as smoothly as we'd like, but its pretty surprising how well it functions. We normally do full rebuilds of these that includes lots of servicing, cleaning inside and out, and future-proofing before we resell them, but this work takes a long time and costs us a lot. Since we already have another example in stock that's received our meticulous refurb job but that hasn't sold yet (use our site's search feature for sonic v to find it), we figured we'd offer this one as-is for less for now. If the other one sells first, we will likely give this one the full treatment and up the price once it's done.

The original wooden frame surrounding the front panel on the stock sonic V is thin and protrudes and has been broken in other examples we have seen. This one's frame broke a long time ago, so the original owner had a woodworker redo that section. As you can see, the newer wood is slightly lighter in color. When this unit was photographed, the bottom right corner of this section was a bit loose, but we have since glued it back in place, in case you noticed it looking slightly lifted in the photos. It's now fine. The control panel to the left of the keyboard was replaced long ago with a third party panel."

Layered Delays and Shimmering Synths | Loose Connection 2025-12-06 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, and ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CP-88.
Layers of delayed and reverberated tones overlap and gradually fade, forming a drifting ambient soundscape.

The Prophet-10 is processed with a deep reverb using the ‪@strymon‬ blueSky.

The CP-88 is recorded in two separate paths: the dry signal and another processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND, adding tape-style coloration.

The Nord Lead is processed with delay using the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus.

On the Moog One, a flute-like tone is performed with a shimmer reverb applied via the master effects, enhancing its airy, ethereal quality."

"This listing is for one Minimoog Pitch bend/ Modulation wheel. These clear wheels were used in the early RA Moog, Moog muSonics, and early Moog Music Inc Minimoogs. This one is brand new and has never been installed. It is very unlikely that you'll ever see another that is new like this and extremely uncommon to see these listed used.

EMS Synthi Sequencer 256

You can find a video of the nixi tube display previously posted here. One was also featured in the film "The Shout".

"Exceptionally rare EMS Synthi Sequencer 256 - AKA "The Synthi Moog Sequencer"

Here we have one of the rarest items produced by EMS, it was incredibly expensive while in production, think of it as 3 layers of CV recording - you can record and play back CVs from external envelope generators, Pitch to CV converters, random voltage generators (etc.) or its own built in keyboard.

If you are interested in history, this particular Synthi Sequencer is serial #001 making it possibly the first production digital sequencer assembled and sold by EMS. I updated this unit to later spec while under restoration, original cables and components are included with this sale along with a manual and service documents I purchased from EMS in Cornwall.

Please note: The DK1 keyboard in the photo is shown for scale and is not included with this sequencer, however it is available in another listing.

Condition:

This synthi has recently been restored and calibrated. It is very clean but exhibits signs of its age such as wood chips and scratches. Contact me for more details on the condition and restoration."

Moog Messenger - Ambient Sequence

video upload by Alba Ecstasy

"After a couple of 'unboxing' posts, I’ve been asked, by my friends, if it can sounds in my Berlin School style, or can make some ambient sounds.
So, here it is, on my second day with the Moog Mesenger, my sequencing style, PART ONE. I already made a few custom patches, (and updated it to the latest firmware - and now my volume knob works also for the main output! 0_o), so it’s gone rain with demos of it!

How does it feel? Like a Moog, of course: sturdy metal enclosure, no flimsy knobs, great keybed.
🎹 Want some ambient patches?! 👉 https://www.albaecstasy.ro

My opinion: grab one while the price is low, you won’t regret!
At least, Moog never drop in value!
Tell your wife, your girlfriend, your mother, that is an investment!"

Skybound - full album | rhythmic dark ambient performance with analog synthesizers

video upload by Caught In Joy

"Skybound drifts into a darker side of analog ambient — long shadows, slow-moving bass clouds, quiet tension, and melodic fragments floating through the darkness. It’s deeper, heavier, and more atmospheric than my usual bright, drifting releases… but still gentle, still spacious, still grounded in the warmth of live analog instruments.

If you enjoy immersive night listening, dim-light focus, or slow emotional reset sessions, this one should land well.
