Oberheim FVS SEM Four Voice Vintage Analog Synth

via this auction

"Oberheim FVS Four Voice System SEM, a four voice analog synth. This is the VERY RARE BLACK FACE SEMs, it is also the original vintage SEMs, not the reissue. It's fully functional and in great shape. Tuned up and serviced last October. There is no keyboard, it's racked mounted, but it's nicely modularized with a patching interface and is much more versatile than a regular FVS with keyboard. You have much better control of the voices and voice assignment, and those membrane keyboards stink anyways. Plus it's not huge and more portable. This is a one of a kind synth, you won't ever see another one like this! Vintage SEMs sound amazing! Last and only time I saw black face SEMs for sale they went for $1500 each.

Included in this auction is a Roland MPU-101 with connector cable. It has four individual midi-CV channels, plus several other outputs, so the routing is quite flexible. You can run it as a four SEM stacked mono, as four separate one voice mono, two 2 voices, mix and match, and use the volume, aftertouch and bend for things like LFO, VCA or filter modulation, etc...

Having a four voice SEM with 8 oscillators mono stacked is incredible. It doesn't get much better than this. Running four separate sequencers through each SEM also sounds incredible, especially when you tweak or modulate the voices/filters with additional sequence parameters. The MPU-101 goes anywhere form $300-$500. The MPU-101 is in great shape and fully functional. If for some reason you don't want the MPU-101, I can reduce the final price by $300.

Comes with Oberheim FVS, MPU-101, 4 voice connector cable and the gray power cable."

"I have always been interested in alternative color scheme keyboards. Since I am using all software for touring and such, I wanted to have something that looked different from all the rest of the crap."
