Roland MKS-80 Super Jupiter Synthesizer with MPG-80 Programmer

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

"The MKS-80 is an 8 voice, 16 VCO polyphonic synthesizer module that can be played by MIDI.

The MKS-80 has memory capacity that retains 64 different tone colors. By using the Memory Cartridge M-64C that retains up to 128 tone colors, total of 192 patch programs can be available.
The MKS-80 features battery backup system that retains the data in memory even when switched off.
Auto Tune function that allows all VCO's to be instantaneously tuned just by pressing a button.
Patch Preset is a program that can contain a tone color (or even a pair of tone colors depending on the Key mode setting) and various mode and effect settings.
The Detune function enables a powerful ensemble effect in Unison mode.
The Octave Shift function allows shifting the pitch of the entire keyboard without changing the VCO range.

Data in the MKS-80's memory can be transferred to another MKS-80 or to a computer.
The MKS-80's dynamics function can change the attack time as well as the level.
By the unique Envelope Reset function, each time you press a new key, the note will start from the beginning of the envelope curve.
By using the optional Programmer MPG-80, synthesizing will become much easier."

Posting this one here instead of B as I thought it was an interesting look back at a synth that brought us new methods of synthesis. It is worth reflecting on as we anticipate new gear being announced at NAMM this year. How often do we see something revolutionary in the world of synthesis?

"OMEGA 8 - OM* REDEYE

SUPER RARE!!!!!! There have only been 2 RedEye Omega8s custom made! It is basically an Omega 8 with the sine wave and overdrive modifications. See below for the standard Omega8 description

TRUE HYPE

The Omega 8 is an eight-voice, discrete circuit, multi-timbral, stereo, multi filtered, arpeggiating, DSP free Analog Dream Machine.

Overflowing with elaborate MIDI control, dynamic signal processing, and expansive modulation, its sound creation and manipulation could very well exceed the boundaries of your imagination.

Salvational pads, foundational basses, revelatory leads, electrosonic drums, other-worldly FX and thoroughly hypnotic pulsating soundscapes powered by our SE's very own discrete analog sound engine will inspire your most potent creative effort.

The Studio Electronics Omega8 delivers true ANALOG stimulation.

NAMM 2013: 4ms Pingable Animation Generator

via 4ms

"We've been playing with the PAG (Pingable Animation Generator) beta version 2. Look for it at NAMM [Hall E, booth 1170].

Two channel animation (curve) generator uses LZX Visionary sync header
All outputs and CV inputs are scaled to 0-1V, for compatibility with other LZX Visionary modules (trigger threshold is 0.5V)
Each channel has two CV outputs: ENV (non-inverted, 0V to 1V) and 1-ENV (inverted, 1V to 0V)
Each channel has two gate outputs: End-of-Rise/Hold, and End-of-Fall
Trapezoidal waveforms (fade-in, hold, fade-out) can be obtained with the Hold jack and knob, which sets the ratio between the total fading time and holding time.
VCA input modulates the amplitude of the ENV and 1-ENV outputs (limited video-rate)
Link button connects Ping clock of two channels
At output frequencies less than the frame rate clock, all outputs update only at the top of each frame. This prevents ugly "chops" in the middle of frames
At frequencies greater than frame rate, the outputs are re-synced at the top of each frame
Tap/ping clock can be divided/multiplied from /64 to x64
Many similar features to the PEG:
Time length of animation curve (ping clock) is set by tap-tempo or external ping clock
Curve selection is linear, exponential, or log, or any combination, including blends (e.g. 25% log, 75% linear).
Skew sets the ratio of rise (fade-in) and fall (fade-out) times
CV inputs for all parameters (Div/Mult, Skew, Curve, Hold)
Trigger input for each channel
Cycle mode button for each channel"
