"The Prommer is a device that burns EPROM chips for use in the Oberheim DX and DMX Drum machines as well as the Linndrum. Editing of samples include simple attack, decay, reverse, ring-mod, stretch/squash and other digital bit manipulation. It can send all samples as a MIDI dump to software editors such as WaveLab, so it is possible to edit and then send the samples back to the prommer to burn your custom EPROMs."

"The Cass-1 Interface is in mint condition. It includes the original connection cable and original owners manual. The purpose of the Cass-1 Interface is to back up the memory presets onto standard audio cassettes. The Cass-1 Interface is also usable with the Oberheim 4 and 8 voice poly synths that are equipped with the memory presets panel. It's a very useful interface box for creating and archiving a sound library which you can load and save into the synth.

Both the synth and interface have been tested and are fully working."

Yamaha CS30L

"The Yamaha CS30L is as close to a modular synth as you can get. Though she can be coaxed into creating simple leads and basses, this synth is frightening! She makes a beautiful piece of furniture and is responsible for absolutely bizarre/unique noises. I really cannot emphasise that enough: you can record truly disturbing noises from her! The cross-modulation capabilities are able to be stacked, this means that you can have VCO1 as a source for Ring Modulation on VCO2, then VCO2 can be used to frequency modulate VCO1. The ability to produce a feedback loop by plugging a lead from the headphone output into the audio input, results in further mayhem. You can affect the LFO speed (which goes well into audio range) with any of the 3 envelope generators, which is brilliant for producing dropping pitch drum sounds.

Because of the vast palette of sounds on offer, I have found it difficult to be creative with her in a productive way. My experience of being sat down at the CS30L, is to slowly coax ever more awkward noises out of her, entranced. I almost always end up putting the portamento on the maximum time and playing the highest, then lowest keyboard note in slow sequence, listening to the sound develop and evolve in a hypnotic state. This may be helpful to you... I don't appear to be able to walk the line of subtlety and instead end up creating noises of the apocalypse rather than music."

"This unit has been fully serviced by us (Fluctus Labs) - Nearly all capacitors have been changed (PSU, VCA, VCO etc), 70% of transistors have been reinstalled, each slider/knob/switch has been cleaned and sprayed. This machine is literally new inside.

It is Japanese version 100V but local voltage transformer will be provided free of charge, so you can use it straight away."

Refresher on the specs:

"Spectralis 2 is the even more powerful successor of Radikals sophisticated Hybrid Synthesizer. With up to 2 GB sample memory and tons of new features Radikal raises the bar again for our competition. Never stop the sequencer engine again with our fully redesigned sequencer engine that allows for on the fly realtime sequencing, recording of MIDI controllers and overdubbing. Quick Sound Selection for every part - your most favorite sounds are just one fingertip away. Transpose your patterns and step sequences with the attached keyboard and control the Spectralis 2 parameters via MIDI from your computer. There is only one thing, we left untouched in our new design - the sound engine. Still the warmest and richest sound out there with the power of a modular synthesizer in a box.

The Hybrid Synth
The Spectralis 2 hybrid synth, fueled by the latest DSP- and true analog technology, delivers maximum tonal capabilities and leads you into a radical new world of sounds full of life and animation. The Spectralis 2’ oscillator section takes sound design to new extremes. The 4 oscillators offer continuously variable waveshapes plus time linearity modulation, FM, PM, oscillator synchronisation, bit reduction and independent pitch and volume envelopes. The self resonating filters, a 4 pole lowpass and a 2 pole multimode filter with LP, HP, BP and notch outputs, use two highly improved true analog circuit designs to overcome the restrictions of modelling based synths. The way players can interact with the destinc-tive user interface makes the Spectralis 2 hybrid synthesizer a killer live instrument with unbeatable richness and stunning flexibility. The synthesis engine takes advantage of a sophisticated step sequencing system - 32 independent parameter control lines with up to 192 steps let you explore an universe of previously unheard rhythmic effects and atmospheric textures. Punchy high resolution envelopes, are the cutting edge of todays synthesizer technology. They are the perfect weapon for the creation of floor pounding kicks, state of the art sequencer staccatos and numerous percussion effects.
