"Our new top of the line synthesizer, the result of 14 years of synthesizer building experience.

If you are familiar with subtractive synthesis, you will feel right at home with the Spectral, because you can choose an oscillator waveform, choose a filter shape and go on from there. But Spectral delivers far more options than you would expect from the well sorted user interface. Both Oscillator Waveform and Filter Shape can be edited in depth. The unique audio engine is capable of delivering many sounds never heard before.

Four Oscillator and Filter modules with powerful yet detailed harmonics and filter band editing and modification functions
Extensive Oscillator and Filter audio rate cross-modulations.
Versatile Arpeggiator with in depth editing of every step, including length, transpose, voice number and Glide
Each Oscillator and Filter with own dedicated envelope to control its volume or frequency respectively
Additional 3 freely assignable Modulation Envelopes.
Five LFOs with various waveforms, up to 320 Hz, tempo-sync, poly-, mono- and one-shot-mode, unipolar and bipolar options, integrated delay-attack-envelope, phase, symmetry and smoothing adjustable
15 slot Modulation Matrix with 35 sources and more than 100 destinations including all important parameters

Fully recognizes Velocity, Aftertouch, Pitch Bend , Modulation-Wheel and various other MIDI controllers
A sophisticated effects section containing 15 Effects including various Delays, Chorus, Phaser, Filter, Reverb, Flanger, Gator, Stereo Enhancer, Parametric EQ and Crusher.
Glide / Portamento featuring mono/polyphonic operation, constant Time / Rate operation, Auto-Bend Modes and detailed options on where Glide takes place
32-voice polyphony (CPU and sound program dependent) and adjustable voice limit.

Moog Minimoog Model D with Mods SN 1325 - #325 of the First Run of Minis Built

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

via eBay

"The Mini was professionally serviced a few months ago including re-capping of the power supply and cards, new keyboard bushings, and tuning and scaling.
This Mini is the 325th one ever built.
It sounds amazing, and plays great.
As with all of the first few hundred made, it has the original metal face plates and clear modulation and pitch wheels.
This Mini has served me faithfully for years.
There are a few useful modifications:
-The oscillator card has been replaced with the more stable version(all the other cards are the original R.A. Moog cards)
-The S-Trig input has been replaced with a 1/4" input that accepts standard Gate/Trigger for easier interface with external controllers
-There is a two-way switch that shifts the CV control of the oscillators from the keyboard to the external CV Input
There is also the remnants of one mod that was probably installed before the newer Oscillator board was installed.
You can see it on the side where the two holes that are labeled 'High' and 'Low' are."

See this post for a video.

"This is a hand-made noise device, with a Synthrotek Chaos NAND Synth circuit. The circuit is based on the 4093 NAND CMOS IC.

This device has an added capacitor bank for even more insane sounds. The enclosure is made of 18 gauge steel, and the bottom and the top panels are 10 (1/8" thick heavy duty) gauge perforated, steel. The bottom panel is removable. A 9V power adapter is included, and also has a 1/4" audio output jack. Multi-colored LED pulses red, green, and blue.

I have used this for about 5 months there are various nicks and scratches, but the unit functions fine. This item is HAND-MADE; it has imperfections in its finish, buts its built to last. I makes deep droning, chaotic, noisy, rich, thick, squealing, screaming and percussive sounds. Its basically generates square waves that cross-modulate each other..."
