EMS Vocoder 1000 SN 12090

"Product: Vocoder 1000
Manufacturer: EMS
Release date: 1978
Country: England

This very rare EMS Vocoder 1000, from the same company that brought you the Synthi AKS and VCS3. This amazing sounding analog vocoder, perhaps the most intelligible ones out there. It has a very nice tone, and most importantly, you can hear what you're saying without having to keep changing the settings. Jean Michel Jarre, Pink Floyd plus many others in 1970-80's used them extensively, and this model was used as the sound of the robots on Battlestar Galactica and in early Dr Who episodes. The 1000 has a very similar design to the 2000; except for a few changes (they moved some of the sockets to the front panel etc). This unit is in good condition and as far as I can tell, still fully functional. I've used it for recording at home and it works great, mixed with the keyboard and mic, to give you the authentic sound of the 1970’s Vocoder.

There are not many Google entries for this Vocoder, but one of the original team that produced them was still repairing and manufacturing them in Cornwall, England up until recently. sales@ems-synthi.demon.co.uk. I have a PDF service manual that I can send on but no operating manual, but there is a Youtube clip of a Vocoder 2000 instruction demonstration available. I will send on the link if required.

I will courier this item worldwide (please ask for quotes), but I would recommend postal insurance as this will be a costly item to replace,( if you could find one). I will deliver this item up to 50 miles@45p per mile (one way) cash on arrival."

Great Classic Synthesizer from the 70's.
Fat and beautiful analog sound!

Filter - 2-pole multimode (low-, band-, hi-pass, band-reject) VCF with ASR (Attack, Decay and Sustain) generator

It should be in normal working conditions, but as it hasn't been turned on for years, I can not confirm exactly.
It's been very well kept though - away from humidity etc - and you can see by the pictures, that panel and circuit boards are in very good shape..."

Moog Prodigy SN 5892X

"The synth has just recently been serviced (2 weeks ago, by JB Electronics near Stanstead), there's also a sticker inside noting it was serviced in 1976! It was originally owned by a school who bought it from new, but put it in 'the back of the music cupboard' when more modern digital synths came along. I have owned it for the last ten years, and loved every minute of it.

It can produce singing string sounds, screaming sync leads, and the most monsterous bass sounds I've ever heard! This is in part due to it having the same 24 dB/octave filters at the famous Minimoog.

Later models (which included CV and Gate inputs) had slightly different filters and didn't sound quite as 'meaty'. This is one of the early pre-CV and Gate models. Serial number: 5892X (see picture)."

"Roland SH-2 Synthesiser, vintage analogue synth in great condition for age (1978-79). This is a classic monophonic unit and is an excellent sounding bit of kit which I have used in my studio for those extra bits and pieces that plugins will only ever fail to deliver in sonic terms."


Jomox Sunsyn Mk1 SN 0163

"Here is your rare chance to own a Jomox Sunsyn Mk1 eight voice analog synthesizer. This synth is very rare, less than 200 made and you don't see them come up for sale more than a couple times a year. There is a reason for that: they sound incredible! My favorite analog synthesizer, amazing analog sound that's very unique. NOTHING sounds like a Sunsyn. The routing and modulation capabilities are great and it's all very easy to use and hands on with minimal menu diving. The RCO's are fantastic and the variable four pole filter is one of the best I've used. It can do classic analog synth sounds but with the RCO and routing it reaches into new territory. This synth is in MINT shape and fully functional. This is a V1, very late SN 016x. Being a later SN it is a bit more stable than some of the earlier ones. I have never had any bug issues with this one. This was a backup unit and lightly used in a smoke free home studio. Probably the nicest one you will ever find. This is the last one I have and I was planning to keep it. Only selling it because I have other urgent purchase needs for my studio right now. I would take this over other modern synths like the Andromeda and older stuff like Memorymoog or Prophet 5. It seriously sounds that good, a king for pads and modulation effects. Buy it now before I change my mind! See pictures below for more details. Don't miss out!" A few more pics are at the auction.
