"This device has three light sensors which control the frequency of three oscillators. The oscillators are internally combined in such a way as to produce the obligatory electronic beeps along with strange and cosmic sounds. An on/off switch is provided and an LED which flashes to indicate the speed of the slowest of the three oscillators.

The wooden case is constructed from the finest old vintage junk and found parts!"

Arp Odyssey MK III

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. via this auction

"No need to hype this one; it truly is the pinnacle of mono-synth engineering. Its screaming leads, punchy bass, and squealing resonance are matched tonally only by the Minimoog Model D, yet it dwarfs its rival in features, routing flexibility, and tuning stability. With dual oscillators, lowpass and highpass filters, a comprehensive sample and hold section, a pair of envelopes, frequency and ring modulation functionality, pink and white noise, expansive CV in/out, external audio processing, and comprehensive routing of ADSR, AR, S&H, and LFO sections to both the filter and oscillators, it takes much of the functionality of a modular synth and packs it into a remarkably efficient and user friendly framework. Simply put, this is one brilliant synth!

This one has just been serviced and is fully functional. All sliders and switches have been cleaned, deoxidized, and freshly lubricated. A handful of sliders with dodgy tracks were replaced with high quality synthrestore.co.uk replacements, and all sliders have been fitted with new caps. The keyboard functions well; all notes trigger accurately and the bar has been cleaned and deoxidized. All functions on the Odyssey were calibrated less than a week ago and are at spec. It is clean, quiet, stable, trouble free."

Custom red, white and blue slider caps.

"Up for sale is a very cool Farfisa Soundmaker analog Synthesizer. Fully analog. A very nice and organic sound ..
Sound is somewhere in between the Syntorchestra and the Polychrome. It's a performer synthesizer with mono and poly section. To me it's way more interesting than the Synthorchestra due to all possibilities.
It works let's say for about 60% and needs a fix but it's more than worth it!!
Contacts need a good cleaning. Service manual/schematics are to be found on the Net. It's +30 years old..
Unfortunately also a very heavy machine ..
So shipping will be a bit more expensive..
Collection is always preferred (coffee is ready ;)"

Yamaha TG33 Vector Synthesizer with Rack Ears

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. via this auction

Not the best pic, but check out the rack ears on the front.

"It is very, very, very rare to see a TG33 with the rack ears for rack mounting....they can be attached in different ways to put the unit at the angle you prefer. Yamaha doesn't make the rack ears for these anymore and they are included for your convenience !

HUGE SOUND LIBRARY -

I'm including a CD with a huge sound library with an editor and librarian. I'm also including a USB to MIDI cable so you will be ready to rock. The CD also includes the manuals you need should you have any questions.

STUDIO SOUND CARD INCLUDED!!!!!

You'll have even more sounds from this card, instantly available without having to load them. The sounds can be played directly off the card.

DETAILS -

The TG33 has 127 sampled sounds & 255 FM sounds. This synthesizer will actually make sounds for you !!!

Here's how....you can set the synthesizer to "grab" either 2 random elements (1 sample & 1 FM) or 4 random elements (2 samples & 2 FM). When you are in this mode, every time you press the YES button, you get different random elements layered on each other instantly. When you have hear a combination you like, store it and you can play it anytime you want. You can also use the vector joystick to balance between the sounds or to detune the sounds. Vector joystick movements can also be recorded and become part of the sound !!"

PAIA Stringz n' Thingz Analog String / Piano Synthesizer

via this auction

via this the listing: "I got this from it's second owner and it was built by an Engineer in Providence in the 1970's who did an excellent job. I replaced the keyboard bushings (uses the same keyboards as the late ARPs like the Odyssey), some of the CMOS and 3 of the NE566 oscillators that drive the SAD 1024 analog bucket brigade chorus to get it tip top. It sounds awesome. Being home built these have a higher noise floor than other string machines, but they're are mods if you like that sorta thing, and I've chosen to leave it as built. It comes with the original manual."
