"Studio Electronics MidiMini, essentially a MiniMoog in a rack. The initial runs were called MidiMoogs, the story goes that the name changed when Studio Electronics ran out of original MiniMoogs to convert and started using some cloned components (although there's also an alternate version of the story where the name changed solely for copyright reasons). This machine is in excellent cosmetic shape and has been working fine doing bassline duty in a lightly used, smoke-free home studio, however PLEASE NOTE: it could use a service as the oscillators go very wobbly and unstable when adjusting their settings. I've posted a sound file (http://www.scientitian.com/files/Midimini1.mp3) which just has a normal bass sound at the start and then at 34 secs I open up the filter and start adjusting the footage and waveform settings and you can hear the oscillators going loopy, then settling down again as they're retuned (please ignore the intermittent white noisy helicopter sound in the background, it's not from the Midimini but another synth leaking through the mixer which I didn't notice when doing the recording). This MidiMini was purchased from E-Bay several years ago and although it was advertised as being in perfect working condition the oscillators have had this issue from the get go, oscillator #1 has been the main offender in the past but, in testing the unit yesterday, it now seems to be working fine again." inside a Midi Mini.
