Oberheim Two Voice

images via this auction
"very early production Oberheim Two Voice synthesizer. Serial number 0246. It's made up of two Oberheim SEM modules along with an Oberheim Mini-sequencer. The issues with this TVS-1 is that one of the SEM's are not working and it has no top lid. The SEM could be an easy fix. Everything in the SEM is discreet and nothing that you really couldn't find at any good electronics store. It's not like later CEM based synths that have lots of rare and hard to find chips"

Satellite - Circuit Bent Silver Rocket

images via this auction
"'The SATELLITE', a sound device that houses two identical circuits that you can layer or play separately. You can combine a voice from the Left side with a voice from the Right side and layer them at different pitches or different volumes to create totally new sounds. When the sounds are pitched and layered you get really thick, intense sounds, perfect for your sound arsenal or unique sampling. With 3 pitch-knob controls and 4 body-contact controls per circuit (or side, if you will), this unit is really versatile. Add the voice-alternating push-buttons and it soars!

This unit is exactly like the other silver boxes that I had previously listed (Like the Galaxie, Comet, Mercury, Mercury ll, 2000, Electra, and the Meteor), EXCEPT that it has steel-ball turners instead of knobs on the pitch controls, AND I replaced the Voice Selector knobs and the Volume knobs. ALSO, the Output Jacks on the back operate intuitively, the Right side becoming a mixed output if nothing is plugged into the Left.

EACH SIDE has 8 voices, that are:
* Square Wave
* A 34-note diminishing pattern ending in distortion,
* Two alternating tones like a European siren (devils interval),
* A repeating strike & white-noise pattern,
* A rapid, repeating white noise pattern,
* A 3-note diminishing sequence,
* A Sine Wave,
* A 34-note RAPIDLY diminishing pattern ending in distortion.

The TWO SETS of 8 voices are divided Left and Right on the control panel. Both Left and Right sides have the following controls:

* On/Off Knob & Master Pitch control
* Volume
* 8-Voice Selector Knob
* Pitch Control Knob 1
* On/Off for Pitch Control Knob 1
* Pitch Control Knob 2 (fine tune)
* 4 Body Contacts (effects tone just by touching them)
* Green On/Off LED lights

You can combine a voice from the Left side with a voice from the Right side and layer them at different pitches or different volumes to create totally new sounds.

ALSO, it has two push-button controls on the right that, at the flip of the switch on the back, allow you to play the two selected voices alternately or together, on & off, like a keyboard, while operating the Pitches & Volumes in real-time. These add to the overall playability of this box, whether through separate channels to a mixer, or mixed straight into an amp.

* OUTPUTS: This unit has a number of 1/4" output options, controlled by the switch on the back, which allow you to mix the two voices together through one output OR discreetly through two outputs, each mixed by their own volume controls on the control panel. The separate outs allow you to run effects separately as well.

It runs off two AA batteries batteries.

It comes with an instruction sheet to help you get started with the functions of this box.

I housed it in a chromed truck mirror with formica laminate for a base. All components are top-notch, and it’’s named "Satellite" after the vintage metal car-script gracing it's face.

I NOW HAVE SOUND SAMPLES AVAILABLE AT THESE SITES:
(click on the Galaxie or Comet to hear the exact same circuit as the Satellite)
http://montyman1.googlepages.com/home OR http://home.earthlink.net/~montyman1/

The 'Satellite' sounds exactly the same as the 'Galaxie', 'Mercury', and 'Comet'. The samples are recorded straight, with no extra effects."
