"All modular.
Trying out Phonogene with a sample captured with my iPhone whilst in Granada, Spain.
Also first use of Double Andore as a standard Envelope/VCA...gotta spend more time with this module!
Pretty cool making chords using the Quantimator and the MFB triple oscillator.
Plus a lot of other stuff going on too..."

The Key (Synthesizer Guitar) with Video Out

via this auction

"The Key music instrument controller, an interactive musical instrument anyone can play. These guitar like synthesizers rarely surface these days especially in mint condition. I believe this was manufactured in 1995. The Key is no longer in production and I know little of this fascinating (guitar) synthesizer. Included is everything which was originally packaged with the original box. I tested it and it works great. Feel free to ask any questions and add this to your museum.

* SongPac Rom Cartridge (comes with 1) with U2, STP, Gin Blossoms, Eric Clapton, Melissa Etheridge, Green Day, Billy Joel, Nirvana, The Beatles

* Unopened VCR video tape, keycoded for interactive play. Rock along with 13 of the hottest videos (whoa)!

Update: Link added the the MATRIXSYNTH T Hall of Fame and I created a new MATRIXSYNTH Bling label for these. I went with MATRIXSYNTH Bling instead of MATRIXSYNTH Ts to cover MATRIXSYNTH magnet and cards as well. There's quite a few posts up so be sure to check out the label below.

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"

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...
