Serviced Vintage E-mu Emulator II Synthesizer/Sampler

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

"Here is a very nice E-mu Emulator 2. It looks and works great! Recently serviced including a new disc drive. The top one is still a little moody and works off and on but the bottom disc drive works great! There is one spot where the paint is rubbing off (see pic 3) I may have some extra discs too that I will try and dig up. Here is a list of the service that was done to it.

Clean heads on drives
Replace drive 2
Replace tantalum capacitors on regulators (high failure item)
Clean unit interior
Strip kbd due to a number of bad keys, clean bubble strips and replace 2 strips that could not be saved
Replace 2 jacks with same type as original.
Clean bad switches and restore operation"

Korg Lambda ES 50

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

"The Lambda ES50 is a vintage poly-ensemble type synthesizer with slightly editable Preset orchestral sounds. It is divided into two sections: The Percussion set includes Preset pianos, clavis and harmonics; The Ensemble section has Presets for brass, strings, organ and choruses. Filter and envelope controls affect the different instruments individually. The Lambda has 96 discrete envelopes and VCAs - two for each key - a very unusual design. You can mix a Percussive sounds with an Ensemble sound and get a layered effect. There are also vibrato and chorus effects.

The Percussion group and Ensemble group each have their own separate outputs which is nice. A joystick is provided left of the keyboard for simultaneous control of pitch bends and chorus phase speed. The joy stick is broken so it is a little shorter but still work fine.The String sounds are the nicest sounds this synth can create. With three oscillators you can vary and detune them enough to get a nice layered analog string. Piano and Brass sounds are pretty cheesy. The Lambda is cased in a great big wooden case that gives it that authentically vintage status."

Blue TZ VCO Source Confirmed?

Update: Bluelantern has worked things out with Ian Fritz and is no longer banned on the site. This is no longer an issue, however this post will remain for synth history.

Original post:

For the time being Bluelantern's items will no longer be featured on this site. This is a follow-up to the BLUE ZTVCO DRY DEMO & Surrounding Controversy post.

via Ian Fritz on Muffs:

"Here is an illustration of the Blue Lantern Blue VCO, with inked-in sections indicating the correspondence of this circuit to the Teezer Thru-Zero VCO. For the VCO core and sync sections, the two circuits are virtually identical. The only notable difference is the trivial substitution of an LM13700 OTA, along with substitution of low-performance op amps. Otherwise, circuit topology and component values are exactly identical, even down to and including the number and values of all bypass capacitors.

As discussed before, the +/- 5V supplies were taken from Rene's TZ VCO. They consist of three-terminal power supply regulators, rather than the precision reference components of the Teezer. Otherwise, the multiple power supply voltages are derived exactly as in the Teezer. The waveshapers -- external to the core -- are a different design.

Hope this helps clarify matters regarding the Blue Lantern "design". I hate to be still beating on this, but we are still hearing negative comments from the skeptics.

Ian"

Bluelantern is banned on Muffs. I will see if he has any response to this.

Sequentix P3 Midi Step Sequencer

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

This one is cross posted on MATRIXSYNTH-P.

"I am selling a sequential P3 sequencer designed and built by Colin Fraiser. This is one of around 200 that were built as production units. Many of these were built as kits and don't have the build quality that this one has. Worried about solar flares? This unit sports a heavy duty metal case with rack ears. I also have the wooden sides if you you are going for the retro look over the industrial. The LCD is new, original units had a green LCD that burned out. This P3 also has the MEMX expansion but the unit has an older more stable OS. All of the information you need can be found on the sequentix website.
