"The 800DV is basically two 700s MiniKorgs in one chassis with a duo phonic keyboard like the ARP Odyssey. Each "voice" has its own dedicated row of functions: And amazing band pass filter that just hits resonance, envelope, modulation section (vibrato, portamento, bend) a dedicated ring modulator, two oscillators, and a really deep "repeat" section, that allows you to retrigger each voice either independently or together. You can also send each voice to an external effect as they each have their own output. I love this synth, but I am making room in the studio for other beasts.

I am including a fully built, uninstalled CV/Gate control PCB from Non Linear Circuits. This, should you choose to install it, will give you full CV control of each voice, and also allow for cv/gate output as well. These boards are also rare, and this one is professionally assembled and ready for installation.

Don't miss out on an opportunity to own a really rare and wonderful piece of synth history."

"Up for auction for the first time ever is this mint condition Sequential Circuits Inc Six Trak Vintage Analog Synth which has been stored in its factory packaging since its original purchase in 1984. There is not a better quality version of this classic synth anywhere on the planet. If you're fussy about your gear, if you want a "brand new" 30 year old classic synth then this is THE ONE for you. End of story.

It's not cheap but for what it is, it's a deal. The right person will click Buy It Now with confidence and without a second thought after doing their due diligence. The only thing you will see in the pics is some light rack rash on the bottom. The top, the keys, the buttons and knobs, they are all perfect.

All functions have been tested, all patches work and sound terrific. Unlike other units you may occasionally find with missing buttons or broken or cracked keys this unit has not been "recently serviced" or tuned or fixed in any way. Why? Because it has never been opened up! "

SYNTHETIC SOUND LABS SEGWENCER 2520 MODULAR EURORACK SYNTHESIZER MODULE

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

"The SSL 2520 Segwencer™ Euro module is indeed in a class of its own. The name derives from the audio term “segue” (fading from one sound to another), and the synth term “sequence” (moving from one point / sound to another), and once combined, there is a synergy that blasts these concepts into a totally new way of morphing sounds, textures and even control voltages.

Before we go any further, a bit of explanation is probably in order. If you know a bit about pipe organ history, you know that a "crescendo" pedal is not a simple volume control. Pipe organs can control volume by opening and closing louvers in front of the pipes (called “swell”), but can’t really control brightness / timbre. A crescendo can add the perception of brightness and impact by adding more “ranks”. This is typically done with a separate pedal that the artist moves forward to bring in brighter and louder sounds. On a pipe organ, the mechanics of this are fairly straight-forward but technically complex. As the artist goes from soft to loud with the crescendo pedal, several “switches” are sequentially engaged. Each successive switch causes a new pipe rank to sound, therefore it becomes increasingly fuller with each stage of the crescendo pedal.

So, what is the SSL Segwencer? In a typical Voltage Controlled studio environment, a control voltage is fed to the “Depth” input which (through an on-board attenuator) controls which of the four Segwencer channels is active based on the input voltage. Each channel of the Segwencer has a separate built in VCA (DC coupled!) input and output, as well as a comvenient Mix output that can frequently save a mixer.

By this description, you might think that the Segwencer harshly “switches” from channel to channel – which is not in itself a bad thing. Here is where the Segwencer really shines.

The Segwencer has a “Width” panel control that literally softens the progressive transitions between the channels. So YOU have complete control over the transition of the “switch” point between the channels, and the “softness” of how that channel switches. Really cool!

Obviously, using a voltage pedal could emulate the actions of a crescendo pedal, but how about feeding the Depth input with an envelope generator? What about an LFO, or even keyboard velocity voltages. And since the VCAs are DC coupled, imagine possibilities of Segwencing control voltages, or even CVs AND audio in the same segwence? The combinations are staggering.

Imagine taking each basic waveform from a VCO into each input of the Segwencer and having the Segwencer smoothly blend the waves? Or how about a sine wave into channel “A” out to a audio mixer, an LFO into channel “B” out to the VCOs CV input, and a wavefolded sine into channel “C” out to the audio mixer? Result: Sine, to FM modulated sine, to distorted sine.

The VCA inputs are conveniently normallized, so - How about a voltage controlled quad panner with each output going to a separate speaker? Or maybe three or four VCOs in a musical chord (or dischord if that floats your boat), each into a separate Segwencer input, with the Segwencer “Mix” output as audio? Result: Think about it.

You'll probably find youself using at least one Segwencer for just about every patch!

"This is one of the cleanest original Mk 1 Ms20's I've seen, there are some marks on the back of the box as you can see in the photos, but apart from that its immaculate, and it sounds ridiculously good. All the pots are smooth and work perfectly. It still comes with the Manual and Original Patch leads. The Mk1 is the sort after model with all the people in the know, as it has some extra weight to it, i have owned both and did the test. This shakes the walls with the sub, and i used it on every record i made for basslines."

Looks to be SN 140438
