Moog Source

via this auction

"This was the replacement for the minimoog in 1981 and sounds incredible for bass and leads. Truly a sonically perfect monophonic synthesizer."

via this auction
"It is a 2601 model and features the Arp 4072 filter. It is a really lovely sounding machine. The modules inside are not encapsulated, making it very easy to service. This is one of the more desirable 2600s in that along with not having encapsulated modules, Arp used better jacks on this model, that were hand-wired to the circuit boards. All slider caps are present, as is the original lid for the 2600 console and the keyboard. The keyboard is a 3604-P version, and works well. All keys trigger just fine. The keys are all a little stiff, but everything seems to work just fine (I mostly use the 2600 with step sequencers)."

KORG Mono/Poly with Blue LEDs

via this auction
"New wood sides (solid oak) have been manufactured for this particular MonoPoly to replace the cheap particle board that the original ones have making it much more sturdy... THIS MONOPOLY HAS BEEN MODDED!!! All LEDs have been replaced with Blue ones so that it brings new life in a modern and ultra cool way!

This is one highly underrated synth! With the cv/gate control and the modulation section alone, one could perform many miraculous sounds!"

Atomo Synth Abyssal

via this auction

"this is the "Abyssal" analog photo-noise-machine & oscillating-filter
This synth features one square and saw waveform VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) with a huge pitch range, from subsonic to ultrasonic sound controlled by a big photocell (pitch control) allowing to play it like a photo Theremin.
One square and triangle waveform LFO (low frequency oscillator), that can modulate the VCO for the vibrato effect creating arcade Atari-like sounds; and also can modulate the filter creating a resonant tremolo effect.
One white noise generator that modulates the frequency of the VCO.
Voltage controlled vactrol filter with the classical cut off and resonance controls that produces unique, weird effects, also capable to process external audio signals.
It has a 1/4 inch audio output, 1/4 inch Line Audio Input, 1 big photocell. Also the instrument includes a green ultra bright LED tentacle to provide light for the photo cell, very useful when playing it on a dark stage.
The Abyssal synth is packed in a clear acrylic case that shows all the handmade analog circuitry.
The instrument is powered directly from 110V or 220V AC.
Dimensions: 170 mm (W), 170 mm (D), 75mm (H. included rubber feet and knobs). LED tentacle length: 500mm"

Holiday Posts

Just a heads up. If you have any Christmas, Hanukkah, or other holiday posts feel free to send them in. Let me know when you'd like them to go up as well. I'm saving some of the Christmas ones for either Christmas day or Christmas eve. To help me please put the holiday name in the subject. You can find my contact info on the bottom right of the site. And remember the rule - all posts have to feature a synth or two meaning you have to be able to ID the synth either visually or via audio. If you send in holiday music, be sure to list the synth gear and what they are playing in the track.
