Synton Fenix - VEMIA

"This is one of the first 25 handbuilt Fenixes - serial number 16. The synth has some scratches at the sides of the case due to mounting in an SKB pop up case which is included with the synth. The front panel is fine. Some pots were a bit scratchy when the synth was checked, but this went away by turning them back and forth (the synth was not used for quite some time). You may be liable for VAT / duty / import tax if you buy this and have it imported into the EC or your own country, not Switzerland." VEMIA - Click on Auctions, Search, and search for 6007.

ETI 4600 - VEMIA

"ETI International 4600 Modular Synthesizer from 1975. Electronically it has been professionally assembled from kit form by the guys who later founded Fairlight (told to me by the previous owner). This ETI 4600 also contains a few Fairlight PCB's, so don't know if these guys were already involved in the synthesizer industry at that time. All parts are present and it does make sound and noises when you use the pin matrix board. Notice that this system does need a good service and calibration. List with what a ETI 4600 offers you: 4VCO's, Noise Generator PINK/WHITE, 5 Mixers, 2 Filters, Joystick, Keyboard Control, Keyboard, Equalizer, Reverb, Main Output, Headphone Output, 2 External Inputs, 2 Amplifiers, Controller, Envelope Control, 2 Transients, Pin Matrix 22 x 22. System comes with 220V power supply, original manual printed in 1975 with instructions on every module + schematics for each module and part list, and 11 pins. Note that this is a 33 year old modular system that needs a good service and maintaince. The wooden case has been completely rebuilt by myself and has been coloured in white oak. It looks a bit greenish/brown but it certainly gives the system a great old look as you would expect from an old system. The case has been built using the original manual and i did some modifications on the wooden case to make it more useful and give better possibilities to service/work on the system."

Update via peterwendt in the comments:
"As for the Fairlight connection ... apparently, the 4600 was co-designed by Kim Ryrie, a co-founder of Fairlight, and Trevor Marshall, who had some provisional patents on the switched-resistor VCFs and on the sawtooth waveshaping in the VCOs. (He used variable-duty-cycle HF oscillators and CMOS switches to turn the resistor paths on and off in a VCF, thus varying the effective resistances and the cutoff frequency.)

Trevor's WWW page about it is here.

I've always been puzzled by the stories of the Fairlight involvement. Interviews gave the impression that this was their first attempt at a synthesizer before they went on to the CMI, but I don't remember them mentioning Trevor. I'm not saying that there was a controversy, but I just don't know who actually did what.

If I remember correctly, the 4600 construction articles started in ETi in Oct. 1973."

Update via peterwendt in the comments:
"Not wishing to spread undocumented hearsay, I did some research.

An article about the Fairlight CMI in Sound on Sound states that Ryrie designed the 4600 and founded the magazine, ETI (Electronics Today International) that published the construction articles.

That's where I read about the supposed Fairlight connection.

The actual construction articles are on Cloned Analog Gear as a large PDF file, here.

One of the intro/title pages specifically states:

"Designed in Australia by Barry Wilkinson and Trevor Marshall". Ryrie's name doesn't appear.

But the articles are just as I remember them. Sigh."

EMS Logik Synthesizer + ext. keyboard - VEMIA

"Selling my beloved EMS Rehberg Logik Synthesizer with external EMS Rehberg keyboard controller. The Logik Synthesizer is in excellent condition, has some very very small surface scratches from normal use over the years. The Logik Synthesizer has Serial No.51. Electronics are in the best condition you can find, like new to be honest. Description of what this Logik Synthesizer contains: VCO, VCF with Phaser Output, LFO, Noise Generator, Slow Ramp Generator, Envelope Shaper, External Input, Portamento, Ring Modulator, Inverter, Output Section. Possibility to add the external keyboard controller. Or an external sequencer. This Logik Synthesizer does have an internal keyboard with black and white knobs, computer look-a-like buttons that looks like a 'normal' keyboard, and can be played like a keyboard. The Logik is a monophonic synthesizer which requires patching using cables instead of the usual EMS pin-patching. Included is the original powersupply which is 18 Volts DC, cables to make patches on the synthesizer, manual on cd-rom in PDF, and connector cable between the Logik and external keyboard controller. EMS Rehberg external keyboard controller. Serial No.96. Keyboard can be used on the Logik Synthesizer, Synthi-E or Synthi A synthesizers. In very good good condition, has some wear of normal use over the years. Keyboard is monophonic."

Curetronic Rare Small Modular - VEMIA

"This is as near mint as you could want, but if you look in the right light you can see the odd finger-mark, so according to VEMIA rules it needs to be called near-mint. Unusual and very well-made small modular, which presumably proved too expensive for Curetronic to continue with - they changed their format after this to make modules 5U instead of 6U and therefore a little less spacious. They also seem to have had to stop using the superb knurled metal knobs that are on this one - again presumably to try to cut costs. Two very powerful VCOs, capable of huge and complex sounds; one pretty straightforward VCA; and the interesting 'Tool' module, which has all sorts of timing, inverting and slew-varying possibilities for pitch or control or both. There is a pair of XLRs on the back for connection to another Curetronic (I believe the built-in power supply is capable of running two cases like this); and a standard IEC mains connector, which is fine until you try to remove the mains lead, when it is wobbly and needs holding in while you pull the lead out. (Strange, since everything else is so incredibly solid!) The original owner says this is a design fault from new. I bought the modular from him because I thought it looked very interesting and wanted to check out Curetronic stuff first-hand for the A-Z book. I can't afford to keep it, so here it is in the auction. The six patchleads as shown will be included, and an IEC mains lead for your (220-240V) country if I have one and you want it. Very handsome, and if you have something else to connect it to (since you'll need envelopes and filters from something else), very very powerful too."

Digisound Mod 80 - VEMIA

"This is my original Digisound 80 synth. I bought all the kits from Charles Blakey's company in the early 80's. It comprises 2 VCOs, VCLFO, 2 x EGs, Dual VCA, Dual Ring Mod, LP VCF, VCM, Lag Processor, S&H/Noise module and a DAC unit. All the modules except the DAC are calibrated and trimmed and in excellent condition. I modified the DAC by adding a simple MIDI/CV circuit (Penfold's design). It works but it is not up to the standard of a Kenton unit! I also have the parts for the Octave/Shift XY controller which is mounted in an ABS case at present. The PSU is the original Digisound unit. The modules are mounted in a wooden case with a black wood grain finish. I have a complete set of documentation including construction notes, user manual, introduction to synthesis and foil patterns if you want to make your own boards. To look at more pictures and listen to audio clips go to www.vcf.talktalk.net and click on Digisound."

ARP Pro Soloist - VEMIA

"If you need any convincing that the Pro-Soloist is one of the great-sounding monosynths of all time, buy this example! Stunning, brilliant presets, which are just mind-boggling - how on earth did they get such quality and realism in such a lightweight synth with the technology of the early-mid 70s? And although the presets are only presets, there are 30 of them, with wide variety, and most of them sound good throughout the five possible octaves. More important, pressure sensitivity gives wonderful expression possibilities. This is simply one of the great solo-ing synths. Manufacture is a bit tacky - the switches are flimsy, the keys are by now a little clacky - but you have to forgive it everything when it produces sounds like this. All presets seem in perfect calibration; all keys function perfectly; sliders are good; switches (for a Pro-Soloist) are nothing short of a miracle. Pressure needs a bit of a push, but not so much as to make an un-natural or difficult playing style. This instrument works beautifully, and looks very good too. Forget any prejudice, this instrument (and especially this example) is absolutely FANTASTIC!"

Yamaha CS5 - VEMIA

"Not sure you'd ever find a better example of this classic little analogue monosynth. Condition is genuinely near mint. Absolutely standard, no modifications, all original even down to the screws! Working condition is perfect. Tuning calibrated. One of the great things about this synth is the External Trigger function, which allows you to trigger it from any external audio source. Great for unusual guitar effects. 240V. pdf of user manual available on request."
