Vintage 80's Gleeman Pentaphonic synthesizer

via this auction

"This is an early Gleeman that was sent back to the factory (Mr Gleeman's garage) for every update that was offered. It has had the interval tuning mod, the 100 patch memories (50 factory 50 user), and an independent control of white noise (the extra knob pictured) ALL MODS were performed by the Gleeman brothers and work great. I am assuming that because this is an early machine the overlays that would normally be on the back of the machine and around the presetter/joystick were removed to perform the mods and not reattached. Besides the factory mods this machine is all original. You can tell that alot of the casing was hand cut because there is the occasional tooling mark on the casing.

This machine looks sharp and has been well taken care of as you can tell by the pictures. Three reasons to own a Gleeman are the powerful unique sounds, the unique architecture of the insturment, and the hands on interface. These features combine to keep you inspired and playing for hours. I get into what I call "the Gleeman trance" I start playing with it and before I know it five hours have passed.

These machines are about as rare as a unicorn, but rarety has never impressed me. I would put a Gleeman up against the best polysynths ever made any day. It also does not sound like any other synth in my opinion. In a world of software emulators and virtual synths it is important to me to be able to get some unique sounds without much effort.

This machine does have a built in amp and speaker that sounds cool but the best way to hear it is through its quarter inch audio outs. I am sure it is obvious a world class synth sounds better plugged into a console instead of an eight inch car speaker."

ARP Sequencer with Original Manuals

via this auction
"1613 model, serial number 50... This is probably the coolest and most versatile analog sequencer ever built. If you've never tried one, they're amazing. For instance there are at least 9 simultaneous outs available for patching. It clocks, steps and resets from nicely from the trigger out of analog drum machines such as a TR-808 or 909 in tight sync so that you can program the individual step rates. It will add a keyboard CV to the quantized outs so that you can run it as 2 independent 8 step arpeggiators. It will also run at audio rates, effectively becoming a voltage controlled oscillator with the sliders controlling the waveshape a la Ian Fritz and a VC pulsewidth. These features are all tested, working and awesome.

It's worth mentioning that the sequencer powers on with the clock running. I'm not sure if Arp designed them that way, but my model 1623 does it too, and this has no effect on the function of the sequencer, everything works as it should. This is a really awesome machine, that will make anyone searching for an analog sequencer very happy."

Update via Adrien in the comments: "it's david joiner (known as "talin"), he's a real genius ... he's made on amiga "faery tale adventure", probably one of the best video game ever, all by himself (graphics, musics, programming) in 1986, it was a 17000 screens wide game, on a single floppy (880 kb !!!)"
