Featured Listings for August 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.

Boomstar 3003—OK Sek Rocks

"I guess your just what I needed, Boomstar 3003, to rock this LFO- crunched, "ring-back," synth hero grind. A touch of CLA2A and 3A here and there to rein in the squelchers, gives the ears a lucky break. No EQ, but after market pitch changes occur throughout, and a salting of "stadium" and "guitar room" make for indulgent fun at end.

Dave Smith Instruments Pro 2 Synthesizer Demo - Sweetwater at Summer NAMM 2014

Yamaha CS60 Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer - Presets Demo

Published on Jul 30, 2014 karmacomputer

"This is a very brief demo of the preset tones (patches) on the Yamaha CS60 Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer.
http://mattoverse.tumblr.com

Note: The resonance was set to off and the brilliance to the middle (nominal) position. Additionally, the synth is fully warmed up so the tuning issues you hear are a result of the oscillators needing to be tuned.

Audio was recorded direct at 24bit/44.1k through a Steinberg MR816X interface into Logic Pro X and dithered to 16 bit before being combined with the video in iMovie. Video was recorded with an iPhone 5 with a fisheye lens to enable the whole synth to be in the frame."
