Red Oak Sidepanels - Rebuilt/Reinforced Hardwood Housing

Was fully serviced by an experienced analogue synthesizer technician 10 months ago
All the key contacts were either replaced or respaired (no dead keys)
All nobs, switches and tactile buttons were lubricated/cleaned/restored and are static free
All internal connections were tested, reinserted and resealed
All keyboard plastic brackets were replaced
Was given a complete overhaul/testing including a full calibration and tuning
It was over $300 just for the full servicing!!
Every circuit and system is 100% functional and working great
The synth wood/housing was rebuilt with beautiful Red Oak hardwood
The bottom of the synthesizer was repainted
New reinforced hardwood triples the mono poly's structure"

November Reaches - MacBeth Synthesizers


November Reaches by macbeth synthesizers

Instruments used: MacBeth Mk1 Modular Synthesizer System, Macbeth Mk1 VORTEX (prototype 7), Godwin Analogue String Synthesizer, Hohner P100 organ."

Blacet Dark Star Chaos 2000 revB


via this auction

"Blacet Dark Star Chaos 2000 Frac Rack style module for modular synth. Long out of production, this is one from the final run of these modules. Gently used, works as new. Factory built. Comes with power cable and manual.

Great fun module, unique sounds. Here is what the Blacet site has to say about it:

Analog synth module with versatile noise modulator
Voltage controlled clock frequency pseudorandom noise generator
Voltage controlled noise filter
Noise modulated pulse VCO with VC pulse width modulation
Envelope generator with gate, attack, and decay

When the Dark Star first appeared in 1982, the brochure had the following description:

"Need an amazing source of synthesized sounds at an absurd price? Here you go....a noise oriented prepatched minisynthesizer built around a powerful LSI chip.

The Dark Star TM provides a digital noise source with variable clock, plus a noise filter, LFO, VCO, VCA and envelope generator; a whole panel of synthesizer modules in just a tiny 6 x 4 x 3" package...

You can use it to simulate all those surf, wind, rain, cymbal, explosion, spaceships hurtling across the void and warping out type sounds. Careful design and wide range controls give you a real sound exploration tool; don't be fooled by the low price. Try it as a percussion kit addition, a drone voice, even as a modulation source. The Dark Star just doesn't sound like anything else--we guarantee it!"
Unavailable for many years, the Dark Star now makes a swing through our planetary system....

This reissue of the Dark Star uses the same basic circuit and updates the design with expanded control ranges and CV inputs for the Noise Clock, Noise Filter, VCO and PWM. Use it as a standalone sound generator or interface it with a modular system for some truly wild sounds!

With the interest in chaos theory and fractals in the past few years, this unit provides an excellent means to explore the effects of chaotic (noise) modulation. The results cover quite a wide range from the haunting to the apocalyptic...

VS1103 MIDI Synthesizer

Channel moved to Harry Axten

"A small MIDI module made using a VS1103b Breakout Board and some extra circuitry. It has a very warm and synthy sound - a lot like the OPL chips found on SoundBlaster cards of yesteryear.

Korg 03R/W ROM Demos

Wild West demo in there.
"The three built in demo songs of the Korg 03R/W Sound Module from 1992. To be honest, they're not very good. The demo songs of the Korg M3R were much better in my opinion and what's more, the M3R was released three years earlier."

E-MU Audity 2000 ROM Demos


YouTube Uploaded by HarryMatic on Aug 27, 2011
Channel moved to Harry Axten

"The four built in demo tracks of the E-MU Audity 2000 Sound Module from 1999. The Audity 2000 came before the well known Proteus 2000 line and it's many spin-offs, so it shares the same synthesis architecture. My unit has the Version 2 ROM which offers 64 voice polyphony rather than the 32 voice polyphony found on Version 1 ROM units.

This was recorded using an Alesis LineLink audio interface. Sorry about the slight clipping in places."
