Custom Silver Nord Lead 1

images via this auction
"i'm selling my nord lead 1 synth and donating the proceeds to charity. my dad has cancer and my grandmother died of it so i'm donating the money from this auction to the american cancer society. i've had this synth now for 8 years and it's been through some amazing times with me. 1 of the photos above is from a splashdown performance at the lilith fair and another is from the last splashdown performance in rochester ny. i've used this synth on tons of recordings from splashdown to freezepop to symbion project. i'm leaving all my presets in it for you to use and you'll probably recognize many from splashdown recordings. it's not red like most nord synths since i covered most of it (top and sides) with silver sticker paper, and i spraypainted the knobs silver. you can see which knobs got the most wear from the silver wearing off. it has a memory expansion card in it as well so there's plenty of room for presets. the synth is pretty worn on the outside, but works just fine, all the knobs, keys, and leds work and it'll treat you nicely. as a bonus, i'm including an unopened copy of splashdown's 5 song ep "redshift" , an autographed copy of the most recent symbion project album, and a signed limited edition copy of the latest freezepop cd fx3p."

Integrated Circuits for EDP Wasp Synth - Complete Set

via this auction
"You're looking at a complete, new set of integrated circuits which will enable the life of your EDP Wasp to be sustained well into the future. This comprises 47 parts in all, including all of the digital and analog devices, power regulator, and amp IC. Some of these ICs, in particular the CA3080's, 4006 and 40174 are now obsolete and becoming increasingly difficult to source within the UK. Alternatively you could just add a few resistors, capacitors, pots, and make your own Wasp from scratch. Simple!"

"Great old string machine with additional piano, brass & woodwind sounds. EXACTLY THE SAME MACHINE AS THE ARP QUARTET (which were made by Siel for Arp from memory?). The synth. dates back to the late seventies but is in great working order and very nice condition considering it’s age.

The strings and piano are the best sounds. Strings are reminiscent of the Solina with the divide down circuitry adding to it’s great character. The piano reminds me of the old Crumar Roadrunner."

Ensoniq ESQ-1

images via this auction
"The Ensoniq ESQ-1 is an 8-voice polyphonic synthesiser with 3 digitally sampled oscillators per voice but couples them with a real analogue filter. It features 3 LFOs, which can be freely assigned to a variety of parameters and 4 digital envelope generators, which can also be assigned to many parameters. Although it isn't bristling with knobs, navigation of the ESQ-1 quickly becomes intuitive as each parameter is never more than two or three button presses away, thanks to the generous LED display and surrounding buttons.

It boasts a velocity-sensitive keyboard, to allow a modicum of expression to your sounds. It's great for analogue sounds, but is also capable of biting digital sounds - bells and DX7-type sounds are possible.

A handy built-in sequencer allows for patterns and songs to be recorded, making it an ideal tool for sketching out ideas."
