Title link takes you to more. There are also great shots of PPG, Oberheim SEM and more.

Update: Wait a sec... Isn't this Dave and The Packrat? Yep, this must be shots of this year's AHNE gathering. Nice. I think the East Coast has it better.

Yamaha CS40M with Mods

Title link takes you to shots via this auction.

Details:
"skilled engineer/ geek/ synth nerd (the one and only Robin Whittle of TB-303 "Devilfish" mods fame) got his hands on it, and modded/ retrofitted it out so that:
There are an additional 2 banks of sound/ memory locations, accessible via the front panel using 2 small switches. These have already been programmed with some crazy-ass synth bass/acid/pad sound. Gorgeous. There is also some type of filter mod (apparently Moog Rogue replacement of at least the LPF but I haven't been able to verify this, so you best just judge by sound examples...there's an 'unknown' 1/4 inch jack inserted in the back housing also, which may be for some type of external input/ output."

EMS Synthi Hi Fli

via this auction.
Details:
"very rare EMS synthi hi fli .A,K.A ( the sound freak ) guitar synthi from 1974 used on pink floyds dark side of the moon and many other great albums genisis zeppelin proco harum etc comes with original foot pedals ( two in one ) and original carry case in good working condition

Main Controls and Effects (Left to right on control panel)

* Top Boost Slider to provide up to 30db boost at high frequencies. The output from this section goes to the Octave Shift, Sustained Fuzz and Ring Mod sections.
* Octave Shift Slider mixes in a Sub Octave signal.
* Buzz Switch adds high frequency overtones to the sub octave signal.
* Ring Mod Slider mixes in a signal an octave up when single notes are played or "ring modulated" effects on chords.
* Decay Rate Rotary control for the decay time of Ring Mod and Octave Shift signals.
* Sustain Fuzz Slider mixes variable upper harmonics.
* Attack Rate Rotary control varies the rise time of the sustained fuzz signal.
* Pedal Switches Each switch routes either the left or right pedal to voltage control the Slider above it. Each switch also has an inverted setting so that single pedal movements can produce complimentary effects.
* Solo/Strum Switch to alter the Hi-Fli's sensitivity to playing style.
* Bypass Mix Central Slider to blend the effects and original signal.
* Modulation Selector Rotary Switch selects: Slow Modulation range, Fast Modulation range, Rising Mod envelope, Falling Mod envelope, Rising Ramp and Falling Ramp.
* Treatment Selector Rotary switch selects: VIBRATO, PHASING 1, PHASING 2, WAA-WAA (single resonant peak), WAW-WAW (six resonant peaks) and MEOW (two sets of three peaks in opposite directions).
* Modulation Speed Slider to fine control the modulation rate.
* Modulation Ramp Time Slider to set ramp time between 0 and 5 seconds.
* Modulation Depth Slider controlling depth of modulation applied to Phase Filter.
* Frequency Shift Slider to bias the symmetry of modulation.

Mains powered: 100-135 or 200-260 Vac
Input Signal: 10mV (min) to 3V (max), 100kohm impedance.
Output Signal: -20dbm (min) to 0dbm (max)."

Aelita


Click here for shots via this auction.

Details:
"Synth was made in 80's years in USSR. Aelita is rare synthesizer actually much more rare than well known polyvox soviet synth. Aelita's sound can be very organic, mellow and very fat, agressive also. Synthesizer has very original "transformer" design with removing main operation panel.

Aelita has three oscillators with square, pulse and saw waveforms.There is LFO with triangle,square,saw and ramp waveforms.Every oscillator can be independently detuned in one octave range. We have possibilities in any chord playing here.You can switch oscillators from 32' to 2' registers.Every oscillator has it's own level slider in mixer section.Oscillator's pitch can be modulated by LFO and first oscillator can be modulated by third oscillator.Than we have nice sounding 24db lowpass filter with screaming resonanse and fat low end.Filter has it's own ADS envelope, keyboard tracking and can be modulated by LFO.VCA has ADS envelope with release switch.There is unussual unison mode when you can get signal of all oscillators in 4 registers in one time."



Samples:
1)1osc_registers_waves.mp3
1 oscillator from 32' to 2' registers switched on square,pulse and saw waveforms. All track is dry signal.

2)filter.mp3
filter's cutoff slider tweaking with increasing resonanse. All track is dry signal.

3)3osc_saw_dryandreverb.mp3
every oscillator's slider moving in mixer section to rich unison. First half of track is dry signal and little reverb added than.
