"For your consideration is this vintage 1976 Oberheim TVS-1 "Polyphonic" analog synthesizer. This very early production example, serial number 0240, is in very nice all original condition, works perfectly, and sounds incredible. This rare synth includes both original expander voice modules, and comes with the upgraded optional mini-sequencer. This completely intact synth was recently purchased from the original owner, so take advantage of this rare opportunity to buy an un-circulated Oberheim keyboard and become the proud new owner of an incredibly classic analog synth.

Oberheim's first compact, programmable, and polyphonic synth features: (2) SEM modules coupled together, a 37-note keyboard, and an analog sequencer with the famous Oberheim Sample/Hold feature.

With an unbelievably rich and sub-harmonic analog expression, Portishead, Depeche Mode, and Vangelis would all agree that the TVS-1 is an irreplaceable instrument in a completely unique and small (26″ w x 10″ h x 19″ d, 45 lbs.) package.

This synth includes the original cover and original oval power cable."

LIVEWIRE Dual Cyclotron V 2.0

via this auction

"The Dual Cyclotron is a 'pair of non-concentric, asymmetrical low frequency semi-periodic resonators (or cyclotrons) controlling a subordinate pseudo-random voltage generator". It can go really slow, or into the audio range, making it a wild sounding FM'd oscillator or useful for slowing evolving drones. I believe these are out of production at the moment. Comes with original box."

Roland GR-700 MIDI INPUT Analog Synthesizer - Bach 2-Part Invention

YouTube Published on May 27, 2012 by WayneJoness

"http://www.joness.com/gr300/GR-700.htm This GR-700 has the rare, MIDI Input modification. What can you do with a GR-700 that has this modification? I use Digital Performer to play a sequence of Bach's 2-part invention in E minor, incorporating program changes to call up various patches. The internal sounds are the original GR-700 factory patches, and the cartridge sounds are the second generation factory patches."

1999 Interview with Bob Moog During His Big Briar Days

"In honor of Bob Moog’s birthday, here is a never-before-seen interview with Bob from 1999. This is during the period when he ran his theremin company Big Briar, before he acquired the rights to the Moog Music name and began producing new synthesizers. Bob was kind enough to grant an interview with Asa over e-mail, and it is interesting today to see how far Moog Music has come since its humble beginnings as Big Briar.

Q : What do you think of the current revival of Moog synthesizers in pop music?

A : For me its a very gratifying phenomenon. Back in the sixties and seventies, our instruments had the reputation for the best sound, while our competitors instruments had the reputation for more bells and whistles. At that time we made the decision to build instruments that would be favored by musicians with really good ears. It has taken a while for the world community of musicians to understand just how important it is to have really good analog sound, but now they do. So I think that the current revival of the Moog Sound is the result of musicians learning to be really discriminating about sound quality."
