"The keyboard keys and synthesizer sounds/functions all work perfectly (key pressure is even, no sticking keys, no intermittent notes, filters sweep cleanly across the full spectrum, etc). All orig hardware, including wood ends, decals, switches and colored tabs (only a couple of the colored slider-top decals missing). The keyboard range is fully in tune (octaves are evenly tuned) and the unit stays in tune extremely well.

This synth is set up in two sections, and thus is really two independent synthesizers in one, which is both unique and allows it to do what other synths can not do. For instance the arpegiator can toggle between the two voices, custom filter settings can be set for each synth section, and a sub oscillator (or ring modulator!) can be assigned to each of the synth sections independently.

It has a professionally designed modification (by Analogue Solutions), thus allowing it to receive cv input for pitch, gate, low pass and high pass filters independently for both of the synth sections (eight 1/8 inch CV inputs all together). This modification works perfectly, and has NOT altered the performance or functionality of the synth in any way whatsoever and is non-obtrusively located near the units outputs. The CV inputs are simply there to allow the synth to be used in conjunction with analog gear or modular synthesizers (as with any cv signals, caution should be exercised to ensure that proper external voltage be used).

There is very little wear visually, just slight buffed areas around the knobs and sliders. No large scratches, and the end pieces are in very good shape (only small nicks in a couple of places).

CV ins:
Top Synth section : gate, pitch, hp filter, lp filter
Bottom Synth section : gate, pitch, hp filter, lp filter"

KNAS Ekdahl Moisturizer with mods


Published on Mar 11, 2014 ISOTROPOSPHERE·125 videos

"Presenting my custom version of the Knas Ekdahl Moisturizer which was done with the directions on the KNAS website for this product.

The KNAS EM is an exposed spring reverb tank with a multi pass (LP, BP, HP) filter, an LFO and a mixer section all in one nice rugged unit. There are many modulation routes and plenty of ins and outs on the rear for cv and audio.

Yeah, you might think it pricey, but, its a very lush sound and not many other 'verbs let you play with the springs which makes it an instrument of it's own rite. The mods are not easy to perform, but the directions and Mr. Ekdahls nice replies made it work first power up. It is also a little unnerving hacking a nice, expensive device.

Along with performing the modifications I added some purple heart wood strips for the switch base and upper deck, custom hot pink labels for the mods and KNAS stickers, custom colored switch covers and the purple knobs to replace the stock white ones on my version. Sounds sweet and looks great.

I know these are popular because the are always sold out at the various distributors, has anyone else perform the mods to their unit? Lets see them....and hear them most of all....."
