Custom Oberheim SEM

In case you missed it, there were some very interesting items pictured in this post, particularly a blue Sidstation and this custom Oberheim SEM. The title link of this post takes you to jesper's page on the SEM with more info.

The following are some comments from jesper in the previous post:
"The other "weird stuff" in the pic is my modified SEM; A "butchered" MS-10 which was wrecked when I bought it and the keys has saved dozens of other machines... ...and yes, the blue Sid is one of two existing AFAIK. The blue panel was a test version produced when Elektron was about to launch the SidStation Ninja (which is black). The former owner picked this up at Elektron in Gothenburg, saw the empty blue body on a shelf and asked if he could have that instead of the stock silver one... I wasn't late to get it when it was up for a trade."


BTW, don't miss the other cute shot of jesper's kids with an EDP Gnat and Wasp on electronic obsession.

Juno 60, controlled via Ableton Live

"Running through the abilities and sounds of the Juno 60, connecting to it via the DCB port with a MIDI adaptor and then sequencing with Ableton Live. From Live I am looping a simple Bobby O style rif and running the Juno through its ADSR settings, waveforms, noise filters, chorus, up/down octave, etc..."

"For sale here is an ULTRA rare synthesizer (the VERY FIRST) for any wind instrument. It was made in the very early seventies buy Hammond (the organ folks). The synth unit is stored in it's own locking carrying case...the key is included. The power cord also stores in it's own locking compartment...the same key locks this too. When performing, the synth unit is locked to the top of the extended carying handle. The synth unit has slider controls for intensity and rate of vibrato, control of treble and bass, tone and volume, sensitivity, mono or stereo signal. It also has organ type switches for Repeat, attack, tremolo/vibrato,sub octave, dyna mute, fuzz, bass sax, tuba, bass clarinet, basson, English Horn, cello, natural amplify, horn, oboe and soprano sax. The front of the unit has a stop bar to cut signal and two micro inputs from the horn's contact mic . It does not include a contact mic. The only missing part is one of the pulls at the side of the unit that release the handle so it can be raised to withdraw the synth unit."
