Korg Poly-800 Custom Case

via this auction

"This is not a digital synth as some might say, its a true analouge unit with DCOs which are digital controlled to keep in tune and locked

Serious mod done as you can see to convert it to a stand alone desktop MIDI contolled synth module and finished in a shocking bright orange. 2 extra pots on the front for the "moog slayer" filter cut and resonance speaker blowing ear bleeding mod. Thi is a serious mod and should be used with extreme caution when uping the resonace setting in the presets... 2 osc 8 note poly synth, very simple to program and store sounds, connect to you pc laptop and send sysex info with ease for changing patches and sounds... customised unit made from a full size Poly 800 mk2 Midi in/out - Stereo outputs - Digital delay built in"

ANALOG SYNTH RUSSIAN VCF FILTER

images at this auction
"Up for sale is one of the best Russian based VCF filters with a really sour Rezonance Character. It is an External All In One unit that is self powered with a 12v AC wall adapter. It has an onboard LFO section and Pre Amp to amplify lower sound signals. This was intended for the Modualar Synthesizer People, but it can be used with Line level signals also. It can also handle a guitar/bass directly connected. It can easily Self Resonate.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The actual unit is Green with red Knobs. Demos will be up soon, come back later to hear it in action.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are the inputs:
(1) CV
(1) FM bipolar CV
(2) Audio In (Ain)

These are the Outputs.
(1) FIlter out BP/LP (selected by swtich)
(1) LFO out
(1) LFO SQUARE OUT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now for the hard Facts: The pre-amp section was intended for VCO analog synth Signals, It sounds very clean with these signals because these levels are usually Beefy and Big.
It can however amplify Line level by x100. But by cranking it up all the way you will hear slight distortion and a little Noise. This also applies to Guitars/bass. In other words this is not a crystal clear Pre-amp when cranked up x100 gain. This is how I wanted it to be, distorted and sour mainly for Analog Signals. I made some demos passing various signals through the filter so you can hear it in action."

Oberheim Two Voice

images at this auction
"The 2 voice is one of our favorite vintage synths. A single voice (called an SEM = Synthesizer Expander Module) is surprisingly powerful, offering 2 oscillators, 2 envelopes (1 for filter, 1 for volume), an LFO, pulse width modulation and a SWEET multimode filter with sweepable mode (which few synths offered). This 2 voice has..... 2 voices, so you can play 4 oscillators per key for a nice fat sound.
The 2 voice can play up to 2 separate pitches at once. Back in the day, this was impressive... Please click here to view our other auctions!"

ARP Axxe Model 2313

images at this auction
"If you download the manual, available at http://soundprogramming.net/manuals/Arp_Axxe_Manual.pdf, all of the functions work fine up through page 20. After that there seem to be dirty slider issues. In addition, a small circuit, a pot with a chicken head knob and 2 - 1/4" jacks were added to the output. It looks like a small buffer/possible gain amplifier is connected to the low output. A ground wire and what appears to be a wire from the power supply have both broken off leading to the additional circuit, rendering this circuit inoperable. This does not seem to affect the original output. This circuit and the jacks can be seen in the accompanying pictures. The power takes a few moments to come on after flipping the power switch, but after it is on there is no problem."
