Minimoog Model D SN 1408

via this auction

"This Minimoog Model D has been in my smoke-free studio for 17 years. The walnut case shows some wear, as you can see in the photos, on the front corners. You can also see in the photo of the mod wheel panel that the plastic is slightly bubbled at the bottom corners. I've also included a photo of the AC cord connection on the top/back panel, which is slightly frayed. Finally, the keys do not align perfectly, which is typical for Minimoogs. With the flaws now admitted, here's the good stuff about this instrument.

I've used it in numerous recordings and occasional performances and lecture/demonstrations, and this Minimoog has been sturdy and reliable, and the sound is what you expect -- fat and crisp across the many octaves at its disposal. Use that built-in A-440!

The serial number is 4408, or possibly 4468 -- as you can see from the photo, it's hard to tell. Either way, it's one of the older Minimoogs, built in Williamsville, NY. Everything works well on the instrument, and the oscillators are easy to calibrate when needed, which is not often. Plug it in, let it warm up, connect to a good sound system (it will destroy small speakers!), and that Moog sound comes out. This instrument will be professionally packed with great care on the first business day after the auction closes."

"The unit functions as it should and is in excellent condition. There are no crackly pots, sliders or switches. There are a couple of slight rack rash marks on the unit but none on the front panel, that still has the 'Made In Japan' sticker attached. In the auction photograph you will see that the VX-90 is powered up."

"I ran the unit in test mode, and it seems like voice chips number 3, 4 and 6 is not working properly, with voice chip number 2 having hanging note. Also in filter test, voice chips number 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 weren't making sound.

Another issue with this is that the bender seems a little bit loose, and LFO Trig bend is not working. However its working fine on sideways bend ( DCO & VCF).

Everything else should be working well to the best of my knowledge, all the keys and buttons and sliders, as well as preset memories and writing function working fine."

"Up for sale is the popular Yamaha CS-10 monophonic analog synthesizer.

The unit seems to be fully functional to the best of my knowledge, all the keys and knobs and sliders worked fine when I tested accordingly to the owner's manual. There maybe slight scratch noise on the knobs, but could do with some simple cleaning/adjusting.

Cosmetically the unit is in a nice condition as you can see from the pictures. There are some minor ware and marks here and there, but nothing major. In a great cosmetic condition if you consider its age."

FRONTLINE X-2 (DRUMFIRE DF-2000)

via this auction

"Offered for sale is this great Frontline X-2 Dual Drum Synth (also sold as the Drumfire DF-2000 in the USA) in perfect working order and excellent cosmetic condition (see detailed photos below).

We've had one of these in the studio for many years - a perfect companion to our 808 and Pearl Syncussion - it's capable of some monstrous subby kick and bass sounds, as well as a whole range of bleeps, bloops, whomps and crashes (and of course the inevitable disco toms).

This Japanese-made true analogue drum synth is a well-kept secret and couldn't be easier to use both live and in the studio: the front trigger buttons make it perfect for soundsystems wanting the ultimate Jah Shaka dub siren effects and much more besides (we also have a pair of Frontline Analogue delay units for sale - get in touch if interested).

As well as dub, the X2 can produce a wide range of other sounds, from tight and snappy 808 snare sounds to 70′s disco toms. Both Jah Shaka and Oliver Lieb have used these machines.

The X2 can be triggered by almost any audio input signal, from the buttons on the front, a snare running from your software sequencer, a piezo trigger or even a microphone.
There are two identical channels containing:

Manual trigger button
Sensitivity control
Oscillate decay1
Oscillator decay 2
Noise decay
Sweep
Pitch
Wave form shape
Click on/off control
Noise filter
Osc/noise balance
Master volume
Audio On Off
Pre-set or manual switch

It's in perfect working order - all pots move smoothly and noiselessly and function exactly as they should - it is a joy to play and program.

(It is always possible with vintage equipment that some crackly pots/sliders may develop over time when equipment has not been used - even during shipping - this can usually be easily rectified either by use or with a bit of switch-cleaning spray).

It has a few minor scuffs and scratches to the casing, but overall is in good clean condition.

I've not found any clips online that do it justice so have uploaded a demo to Soundcloud (see start of listing). [embed below]

It is a UK 240v model: the plug will be removed before shipping unless the buyer requests otherwise (except 110v countries where a step-up transformer will be required - not included in sale)."

Mutronics Mutator SN 322M

via this auction

"Offered for sale is this Mutronics Mutator in perfect working order and immaculate cosmetic condition (see detailed photos below).

Probably the most musical and involving filter unit ever - you know what this sounds like, but until you've played with one you don't realise how great it sounds... Deep, deep subs; Mutron-style envelopes; can turn almost any sound into music; makes a soft synth hard; so much fun to be had...

These are highly sought-after units, getting harder to find - a true future classic.

It is 240V mains powered - buyers in the USA/Canada will require a step-up transformer for this to function with 110v mains power - the UK plug will be removed for shipping to overseas countries with 240v supply unless otherwise requested."
