Vintage Analog MPC Electronics Drum Synthesizer Modules

via this auction

"What we have here is a piece of 1980's musical nostalgia, the MPC Electronics Drum Synthesizer Module System. These appear very rarely on ebay and represent probably the first commercially available electronic drum system. These pre-date the Roland V Drums.

It consists of 3 modules. DSM 1 processes trigger inputs and provides power to the other two DSM 2 modules.

These are of the 19" Rack-Mount type..."

EMS SYNTHI A vintage synth + DK1 CRICKLEWOOD Keyboard SN 3416

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

via this auction

"Selling my original vintage EMS Synthi A with its beautiful original DK1 "The Cricklewood" keyboard, all in exceptional and fully working condition !

The Cricklewood keyboard is also fully original and complete except for the oscillator's frequency knob which has been replaced by a multi-turn pot for finer tuning and a switch at the back which allows to switch on or off the gate signal to the Synthi.

The Cricklewood ads a 4th oscillator to the 3 oscillators already present in the Synthi A making the system a 4 oscillator synth ! Plus it can emit dynamic control (velocity control) to any destination available in the matrix !!

Included in this auction are :
- the Synthi A itself with its 22 original patch pins and spartanite case (note the EMS blue tag on the case is gone)
- the DK1 "The Cricklewood" keyboard
- the power cable
- the cable linking DK1 to Synthi A
- the full EMS service manual of Synthi A/VCS3, DK1/2 keyboard & KS sequencer (although there is no KS in the unit I am selling)
- a soft black fabric case for the DK1.

Essentially the same instrument as the legendary EMS VCS3, and sometimes known as the ‘Portabella’, the Synthi A is a self-contained, analogue modular synthesizer system, literally built into its own (genuine) Spartanite attached briefcase. This is a very rare original working example of one of the most revered, versatile, fantastic, and ultra portable synthesizers ever made...

As far as I could see and hear, after several hours spent testing it as thoroughly as I possibly could, this amazing instrument seems to be in full working order indeed.
In spite of its age, all pots are noise-free and clean as a whistle, I have never come across any unwanted noise from them, and appear to function as you would expect them to.
Here’s a general rundown of the features of this particular Synthi A:
- 3 Oscillators - all with 2 waveforms and a very wide range
- Filter section - including self oscillating resonance and Stereo Output Filter
- 64 pin matrix routing system - providing infinitely variable configurations, mod possibilities, routings, you name it. It is essentially a 3 Oscillator (4 with the one from the DK1) modular analogue synthesizer packed into a relatively tiny space.
- Ring Modulator
- NOISE generator
- Looping Envelope Shaper - including Trapezoid
- Push Button Trigger
- Joystick - for cross modulation, bi-channel frequency control, panning, etc
- Stereo Audio Out - including individual panning controls for each channel
- Stereo Audio In
- Stereo Phones output
- Built in analogue reverb - really great, especially when it feeds back!
- Built in stereo speakers
- VU meter

And a few other relevant factors to note:
It’s an EMS SYNTHI A, and NOT an AKS - this means that there is NO 'KS' keyboard/sequencer included but there IS a DK1 which is far more pleasant to play.

All 22 original patch pins are included - there’s a couple of pins that sometimes don’t work quite as well as the majority of them, but apparently you can order more online if you want brand new ones

Prestopatch socket - as I don’t have a Prestopatch to try it out with, this is untested, so I don’t know if this works or not, but I really cannot see why it wouldn't seeing the working condition of the rest of the synth..."

MTI Auto-Orchestra

"Here's an MTI model AO-1 Auto-Orchestra. Back in the day this was intended to be sort of an all purpose accompaniment machine. It included drum beats, plus accompaniments consisting of bass, strings and sort of organ chording. The bass, string and chord tones run from a set of bass foot pedals (similar to a Moog Taurus). The chords play automatically and are pattern synched to the drum beats. The bass notes can either be played fully "manually" with the pedals, or can be set to be sort of semi-arpeggiated, also synched to the drums. There was also a volume pedal that could be selected to control one or a few of the different sounds...

One other thing that I'm not too sure about -- you can see in the pictures below there's a line of switches at the bottom of the machine marked Drums, Chords, Bass and Strings. The last 3 of these are latching toggles that turn the respective sounds on and off. The Drums switch, though, doesn't latch and doesn't seem to do anything that I can determine. It's normally in the "out" position, which should be (according to the standard of the other 3 switches) drums off rather than drums on, but the drums are definitely on. So I don't don't know if it's broken or it's been modified or if that switch is intended to do something I'm not understanding. In any case, you can turn the drums off by pushing the "Start/Stop" button or by turning down (or pushing in) the drum volume control. If anybody is familiar with these machines and knows whether the Drums button is suppose to latch or what it's supposed to do, if you message me I'd love to post any information you might have here.

As far as the bass pedals go, the machine uses a very simple scheme. One of the pins on the keyboard connector is +5 volts, and each of the other pins represents one note. Just connect the 5 volts to whichever note you want to sound. You could wire this up to some yanked organ pedals like I had planned to do, or you could just put a line of momentary stomp box switches on a panel or who knows what else. I bought a male connector for the keyboard port -- it's not pictured here, but I still have it and I'll include it if you want it..."
