Featured Listings for March 2014

This post hosts all Featured listings that drop off the top of the site for the month. You'll find a link to previous months below. Many of these listings will obviously end in time and some will get re-listed (always check the listing). They will remain here as a record of what went up over time. For some, you can click on the image to see what they went for on eBay. Some expire from eBay and some expire from MATRIXSYNTH CLASSIFIEDS. This list only hosts some of the more interesting and unique items that have gone up over time, so be sure to check out the Auctions channel for everything else. You can of course search for any synth with "auction" in the search box on the top left of the site. If you click through the auction links you can see what items went for. You can also search by serial numbers to track the history of specific synths.

Roland RS505 Paraphonic String Synthesizer

Published on Feb 28, 2014 SynthDan1·14 videos

"A little improv on the 1978 Roland RS-505. It's a paraphonic string synthesizer, with a synth section (with resonant filter) and a bass section to boot. This video is a blend of the synth & strings, which creates a lush and almost haunting sound.

What's a paraphonic synthesizer? It's a keyboard that allows you to play many notes (because it's essentially a divide-down organ), but all the sounds run through a single filter and envelope. This is of course less powerful than a conventional polyphonic synthesizer, but they allowed for unlimited polyphony and some interesting sounds and effects. There were tons of string synthesizers made in the 1970s, all based on the paraphonic concept, and they were used in tons of famous songs (think of the beginning of "Dream Weaver" while listening to my demo).

P.S. Sorry about the weird audio glitch at the very first note, I guess my phone glitched."
