Synare Sensor

via this auction
"vintage 1970's Synare Sensor Drum synthesizer in its original box with 16 page booklet and insert for adapter should you need it. Made by Star Instruments Stafford Springs Ct. USA. 9 Volt battery required. The unit attaches to any drum rim and is run through a amp, P.A. or headphones. I had alot of fun with it doing weddings and Disco gigs in the late 70's and early 80's. It has many different sounds and adjustments to make it last long or short. Triggered when you hit the drum."

"Poly-Box is a pitch following variable chord generator controlled by your synthesizer and Poly-Box's own keyboard with built-in memory. Poly-Box takes a single pitch from your synthesizer and creates two banks of pitch sources. Each pitch bank contains 13 simultaneously available pitch sources at precise semitone intervals - covering an entire chromatic octave. The pitch banks may be in the same or different octaves, and can cover the range from one above to three octaves below the synthesizer oscillator."

Synclavier II SS7 Stereo Synthesizer card

via this auction

"This is a New England Digital Synclavier II SS7 Stereo Synthesizer card that is being sold as-is because it does not work properly. This card is complete with connectors, DACs, high quality machined IC sockets, the SS7 ROM and everything else, it just doesn't work. This is one of a few that I might be selling that have audio problems. These are proprietary and there are no schematics available anywhere, but this would be an easy fixer relative to some other bad cards because it is a mixed signal card and the problems most likely lie in the analog stage. It doesn't prevent booting, or crash the machine or cause it to hang, it just makes bad audio. My brief rejection notes will be included.

This is the kind of card you DON'T get in a fully restored Synclavier II or Synclavier from Synhouse. Every restoration I do kicks out a lot of bad cards during the extensive burn in process that each of my systems goes through before shipping, and I have accumulated quite a lot of them in recent years. I am cleaning up and organizing my stock this year and might be selling off some of this stuff that I can't use, but please be clear on this, this is not to be confused with the fully restored/guaranteed Fairlight/NED stuff I am known for selling, this is what I don't sell and can't sell because it is bad. The only guarantee I can give you on this card is that I guarantee that is is not working properly. I can't put 10 hours into reverse-engineering and trying to fix each bad card I end up with, as I always have a lot of good stock and the 55+ hours that goes into every machine (not including shipping or support) is quite enough already, so I'll be selling some surplus on eBay.

Please see my other auctions now and in the next few days for a Symbolic Sound Kyma Capybara sound computation engine/sound design system, and a fully restored Synclavier II will be ready to be listed in a few weeks."
