Oberheim Double SEM Modular

images via this auction via Tec.
"For auction worldwide a pair of Oberheim SEMs in a solid oak box draw with modularised jack connections to the board points.
Powered by an original Four voice supply,set for 230V use.
Many of the 1/4" jacks are normalised such that the MASTER CV will input on all four VCOs and also the MASTER GATE will input both modules.Inserting to individual jacks will break the master connection to that part.
Jacks in for VCO1:CV1 CV2 SYNC ,VCO2: CV1 CV2 SYNC, VCF:CV1 CV2 ,VCO1 : MOD, VCO2: MOD ,VCF:EXT INPUT 1 & 2 ,VCF MOD ,ENV1 GATE,ENV2 GATE and VCA CV.
Jacks out for VCO1 SYNC OUT,VCO2 SYNC OUT,VCO1 SAW PULSE,VCO2 SAW PULSE,VCF HP BP LP,ENV 1 OUT,ENV 2 OUT,VCA OUT.
28 jacks.....per SEM.56 total.The four VCF CVs have attenuation pots with the same production grey knobs.
The jacks are seated on 3mm Perspex acrylic with card paper backing for decals.It would not be hard to replace if you have an aversion to yellow.
The SEMs are in good cosmetic condition...unfortunately one dual pot cap is missing on the right hand module.

I built these into the box before i started on my modular build and as that took over this piece was put in storage for some years.
I brought it out to sell and we must consider that the modules are 30 years old.I've tested both modules by the master cv/gate and both VCOs are outputting saws/pulses/syncs.
Some pots could certainly do with a clean.Filter outputs and envelopes are working.I have not checked the alternate inputs but i don't see why they shouldn't be working.
The main niggle is the right hand LFO isn't working(probably a dead 741 or the jfet)but since it was a simple device anyrate and i had plenty of better LFOs offboard i never repaired it."

New & Back In Stock at Analogue Haven

I just got my subscription email from Analogue Haven. In it was a slew of new and re-stocked goodies, some of which I have not seen before, including this Diamond Memory Lane Delay Pedal.

"As you can probably guess already, this isn't your typical analog delay.

the memory lane has a number of innovations that bridge the feature gap between analog and digital delays while retaining the warmth and unique sound of bucket brigade delay devices in an all analog signal path.

offering up to 550 ms delay time, tempo can be set either by dial or by foot tap switch. when you don't need foot control of tempo, you can use the second foot switch as an on/off switch for the modulation feature simply by switching the small 'feature' toggle switch from 'tap' to 'mod'."

Scroll to the news section on Analogue Haven's main page for the list of new and back in stock items.

"Just got hold one of these fabulous synths, im still trying to find my way around it but i stumbled upon the onboard demo and it blew me away i love bombastic over the top stuff and this was right up my street. Bit over the top on the reverb but still beats most onboard demos i have heard, but then as i said the more over the top the better for me :-)"

Sonalog Gypsy Midi Arm

via this auction. via Max.

"Sonalog Gypsy Midi controller. This is an amazing piece of technology. It’s purpose is to translate your arms movements into controller information for your music. Imagine a world where dance music is being created live in real time by dancers. That’s the potential for this kind of technology.

I had originally purchased it for a group that was based on this concept. The band fell apart and now I have this very awesome piece of music technology that I have no use for. I purchased it new for $1200 and now I am reselling it to try and re-coup some of my expenses.

I can’t really explain exactly what this thing does in this little text window. To get an accurate idea you need to visit http://www.sonalog.com/videos and watch the videos.

This is the right arm of the complete suit. It is in perfect working order. It comes with all of the original software and manuals which can also be downloaded from the sonalog website. I am also throwing in a $50 battery charger which charges up the battery packs in 15 minutes and provides days of use. You can purchase an additional arm in the future if you desire from Sonalog for a discounted rate and attach it to the frame.

This is an powerfull, intuitive and easy to use piece of technology.
