PAiA 2720

Click here for shots via this auction

"This auction is for a 1974 Paia model 2720 Modular Synthesizer. The synth includes 13 patch cables and 5 audio cables and a complete set of manuals for every module as well as the assembly instructions, patch diagrams, and a user manual.

The 2720 was sold as a kit of parts and was the first synth to incorporate, in one unit, its own power supply, all electronic analog music modules and an integral keyboard controller. As opposed to earlier models, it can literally be moved to any location and simply plugged in. The synth was designed by John Simonton, Paia founder. The synth is completely operational and like new with the following flaws noted:

A rubber foot on the front right corner has disintegrated.
The low 'B' key on the controller sticks a little.
Keyboard calibration is off and needs to be re-aligned (a periodic task)

The synth has not been used for many years, but was recently activated to record some vintage sounds. The synth has a lot of historical value and is extremely educational since it uses very basic components to electronically generate sounds. I am the original owner and builder and now need the space for some more equipment. Here are the components of the 2720:

Power Supply - with variable outputs
VCO - Voltage Controlled Oscillator w/3 wave shapes
ASD - forerunner to the ADSR called a Function Generator
LFO - Low Frequency Oscillator w/ 3 bands and variable frequency
Noise generator
Band Pass Filter w/Q control
Low Pass Filter w/control
VCA - Voltage Control Amplifier w/ control
Keyboard Controller
Variable Pitch and Trigger shapes for the Keyboard Controller

More info on this synth can be found at JohnnyPumphandle.com Shipping weight is about 20 pounds"

Korg Mono/Poly

via this auction. Note this one is from Ben of Korg Kornucopia. More pics. "Click here to hear some mp3 audio files of the actual instrument I am auctioning (you may need to click on the 'MP4' icon that appears). I kind of threw these together without a great deal of forward planning but they hopefully go some way to demonstrate what a capable and FUN synth the Monopoly is.

The audio tracks described :
* 1.mp3 :- the Monopoly arpeggiator in full swing. I have attempted to cram as many different arpeggio modes and routing modulations as possible into 4 minutes, including portamento, FM, sync and cross modulation, VCF and pulsewidth modulations and pitch effects, as well as effects with switching off VCOs and piling them up in unison. I told you this synth is fun!

* 2.mp3 :- analogue sequencer control of the Monopoly via Trig and CV inputs (by a Frostwave Fat Controller)

* 3.mp3 :- Monopoly arpeggiator external clock control by Korg KR-55 rhythm machine. The KR-55 has various output trigger resolutions which give the different effects.

* mp4.mp3 :- More arpeggiator hell ;-) The Monopoly is fed into a Korg SE-300 tape delay and reverberation (right channel) for extra dimension."

"kind of related but not the same - when I bought a "novamod" kit on the bay some years back, the guy sent me this. he would do that 303 mod himself, if you send your regular 303 over. Was from somewhere asia. Note that this is one not the devilfish thing."

May Night (Experimental) by Mark Griffith

Title link takes yo to a post on Mark Griffiths Music featuring an experimental track featuring:
"Blacet/Banalogue/Wiard with MXR Pitch transposer and very briefly a Roland SH2." "I decided to try and create something a bit more experimental and abstract using the small modular here. Problem was I don't really know the context or "rules of the game" for experiemental stuff so I decided to be guided by a couple of ideas themed around a Russian May Night."
