via the seller: "I sent it to Wes Taggart in the summer of 2012, and paid $850 to have it completely gone over, every aspect of it perfect, from the keyboard bushings to the pots cleaned and a complete calibration. It is now 100% perfect. It comes with a bound reprint of the manual, one of the best written and entertaining manuals every written...it makes it easy to comprehend what this machine is doing, in electronic and artistic terms. The case is in decent shape, with some odd and end nicks here and there, and I replaced one of the latches. The handle is worn but secure..."

"These were a short production run synth that was supposed to be more in the vein of the old minimoog d, ie no patch memory or encoders. Surprisingly, thats not the only difference, having used one of these along side a regular voyager there is a bit of a difference in the sound. Some people may disagree with me but there is a noticeable difference in the sound that comes out of the old school especially in the oscillators; its smoother and more pure somehow. less brittle I would say. Any voyager is nice but these are a timeless design that would appeal to someone familiar with the sound and interface of the original mini. These have a great feeling keyboard and very sensitive assignable aftertouch that makes for super expressive lead sounds..."

RIP Ray Manzarek

The legendary Ray Manzarek passed away today at the age of 74. You all know who he is and his impact to our world. Not necessarily a synthesist, but a true keyboard player that started in a band that showed keyboards could be just as powerful as guitars in classic rock. He continued on to do great things.

Be sure to see this post featuring some of Ray's great personality. I still don't know what that is in the background.

We will miss you Ray.

via Wikipedia: "Raymond Daniel Manczarek, Jr., known as Ray Manzarek (February 12, 1939 – May 20, 2013[1]), was an American musician, singer, producer, film director, writer, and co-founder and keyboardist of The Doors from 1965 to 1973, Nite City from 1977–1978 and Manzarek-Krieger since 2001."

You can find Ray's official website here.

Below are just a few of the classics Ray brought us.
