Yamaha DX5


Click here for shots via this auction.

Details:
"This is an extremely rare Yamaha DX-5 Synthesizer. It has two DX-7 engines which when mixed together add up to a much thicker, warmer and diverse sound than a single DX-7 unit. If you are a fan of the DX-7 sound, you will absolutely love the extra sonic possibilities of having two mixable/detunable engines to play simultaneously. Its much like the difference between having a single oscillator vs dual oscillator synth. The keyboard is 76 keys, semi-weighted, with velocity and aftertouch sensitivity and good midi spec. It looks, feels and sounds beautiful..

There are balanced XLR and jack outputs for each engine or a mix of the two. Midi in/out/thru, and extemal control of Volume, sustain, portamento and modulation. The power supply is switchable between 110-120V and 230-240V which makes it usable pretty much anywhere in the world. It has been thoroughly tested and everything is working perfectly.

This unit is in as close to mint condition as it gets for a 20+ year old instrument. It is basically flawless, it has a very smooth shiny coat, none of the usual wear marks from finger contact or sunlight exposure. It comes with its original box, original manuals, sustain pedal and two DX programming books. Also included are two very hard to find DX-1/DX-5 ROM cartriges."

Bass Guitar, Drums and Teisco 110f. That's one hell of a good sounding synth to me.
Anyone know if these tracks indeed only featured the Teisco?

This one is an organ/synth combo. You can find some more shots and info on these previous posts, as well as, of course, the web.

SYNTECNO TeeBee MARK III

Title link takes you to shots via this auction.

Details:
"The Syntecno TeeBee is a bonafide 303 ACID emulator with some tricks up its own sleeve! At first glance you'll notice it has many of the same controls as the original TB-303 - Tuning, Cutoff, Resonance, Env Mod, Decay. It has square and sawtooth waveforms like the 303, and adds a ring modulator and external audio input. There's no Accent but this synth has MIDI with velocity sensitivity (there's your accent). Although it has a sequencer, it is very simple and hidden. Therefore, there is no cool 303 slide effect. However, slide effects can be controlled through MIDI, as well as every other editable parameter using MIDI SysEx commands!
As a 303 emulator it sounds pretty darn good. However, it costs almost as much as the real deal. The Syntecno TeeBee has MIDI in/out, Roland Din Sync and CV / Gate in/out as well as an external audio input making a creative tool in your studio for emulating 303's, filtering external audio such as drum loops or voice, and controlling older synths using CV / Gate."

Unfortunately the details are slim and there aren't any close ups of the knobs. If you know more about this piece please comment. I'm curious if it's a synth, organ or combo.

Slider box for the Roland D-50 LA Synth. Click the image so you can see what you can edit on the synth. Unfortunately the top right row is hard to make out. Check out these previous posts for more shots if you want to see what they are.

Oberheim OB-Mx

Title link takes you to shots via this auction.

This one is an 8 Voice model. I remember when this was first reviewed in Keyboard Magazine. It was toted to have classic MOOG and Oberheim filters. What's intersting is this was before the scrutiny that came with VAs, and if I remember correctly the reviewer bought into this without question. It received an excellent review, however rumor was that it was the prototype, which is supposed to sound better. Nine Inch Nails reportedly received a prototype and used it in The Downward Spiral.

Check out these previous posts for samples, the OB-Mx story and more. Scroll when you get there. For some bizarre reason the Akai AX80 came up on top. : ) If you scroll, you will find some great samples by Brian Kehew of The MOOG Cookbook as well as other samples, images and info.
