New Metasonix R-54 Mark II

via Control Synthesizers and Electronic Devices on Facebook
"Dear Metasonix, We like your tubes. Welcome to Control. In Stock: R51 and R54mk2 #Distortion #Handcrafted #Metasonix"
via Metasonix: "And now, it's got two new tricks. A VCA CV input allows you to control the output level of the R-54 as well as the amount of clipping in the output tube. Plus, a HARSH switch introduces a feedback loop into the CV control. Turn up the output level and the R-54 does very strange things."

Synth Rorschach #13

via Grant Richter (Wiard) on Facebook

I'm seeing a bit of everything in this one. The box on the left reminds me of Serge, the "piano" looking box she is working on reminds me of Moog. Many of the controls remind me of the Hammond Novachord. And of course vintage oscillators. Note there is an actual mini keyboard on the left just to the bottom right of the Serge looking box. Take a look at my post on the American Museum of Radio and Electricity for a photo of one. You'll note it's not a standard eight octave based keyboard.

'72 FARFISA COMPACT DUO PROFESSIONAL 252 COMBO ORGAN

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

via this auction

" For your consideration is this vintage 1972 Farfisa Compact Professional Duo organ. This particular example, serial number 6125/247, is in nice original condition and includes the original matching bass pedals, the original matching bench, and the original vinyl carrying bags. This incredibly intact original set has been thoroughly used and enjoyed throughout its previous ownership, but also displays significant evidence of resultant modifications, and though the original set is intact, the keyboard itself is not...

As suggested, the keyboard has been extensively modified, with the addition of many small buttons and jacks. While the keyboard works, it does not work properly, is low output, and requires more than just a typical service. Due to the poor working condition, we are selling it as-is, in need of serious repair.

Essentially a double keyboard version of the incredible 222, the 252 produces identical sounds with numerous extras and a slalom pedal. Famously used by Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Sly and the Family Stone, and Led Zepplin, the Farfisa Professional keyboard has contributed tremendously to some of most recognizable '70's music.

This '72 Farfisa Professiona Duo features: (2) manuals of 61 keys (C - C), 34 voices, independent volume and vibrato controls, and a 13-key bass pedal (C- C) with expression and slalom pedals. Voice Sections include: Flute Section, Clarinet/Sharp Section, Sustain Section (Celesta, Harpsichord, Kinura, Long), Percussion Section, and a lower manual section including a Flute, Horn, Clarinet, Strings, Piccolo and Sustain.

As pictured, the Farfisa was matched up with a vintage Wersi amp and speaker combo, however, they are not included."

Note the jacks are on the underside. Some pics of the inside and marketing brochures below. Additional pics at the auction while up.
