Erica Synths - Polivoks Envelope Generator
Published on Nov 10, 2014 DivKidMusic
"Here's the new and re-worked envelope generator based on the Polivoks synthesiser from Erica Synths.
Full ADSR mode, AD (with unique voltage offset), hard sync / re-trigger and looping (LFO style) mode."
MAQ16/3
Published on Nov 10, 2014 Vykaar Tones
"My MAQ16/3 self edits to whatever values are set on pots in a random fashion on all channels. This video shows 3 rows of 16 notes every note programmed to low C or Minimum value and saved to preset 6. If the pots are all at min or max there is no problem but any other setting will show changes to pitch values at random times without any pot being moved. First note changes at 0:40 and a couple more later. Midi channels 1,2 & 3 go to 3X Dark energy Mk1 synths. Is this normal behaviour for the MAQ16/3?"

MIDI Designer Template for Sequential Circuits Prophet 600 with GliGli OS
"The now famous GliGli firmware update for the perennial Sequential Circuits Prophet 600.
The runt of the Sequential litter, first to midi, and never much thought of until.... some strange dude took it upon himself to completely rewrite the os and breathe new life into this old dog.
My layout is far from perfect and has not been extensively tested but I think everything functions as should. I have not implented the fine control because there was considerable audible stepping on some important function such as cutoff freq. Not sure if it's software, hardware or MD user related but for now it will have to do.
Everything provided by midi implementation is there, it's nice not to have to interact with the number pad for access to all the new and truly amazing functionallity the gligli firmware provides. The membrane pad is probably one of the few parts that will be harder to replace as time goes on and also one of the most vulnerable to damage. Anywho all the new LFO shapes, assigning the wheels, changing Env response curves, and adjusting and viewing +/- values are much easier now.
I would love some help with this one if anyone wants to check it out, make sure it's working, and maybe help with adding fine control with the extra cc.
Thanks to Gligli for the now indespensible new os, an awesome project he's done with absolutely no compensation whatsoever. THANK YOU!"

"Here's the moment you've been waiting for, a fully restored fully functional Synergy keyboards with lots of extras. This might be one of the most complete packages you'll find for a Synergy these days. An extremely rare synth & impossible to find in these final versions in fully functioning condition with midi. It's in excellent cosmetic shape & even includes a Kaypro, Wendy Carlos cartridge & more. See below for all the info. The sound on this Synergy is really surprising for a digital keyboard - it's rich, lush, organic, warm. An awesome keyboard to say the least, and an incredible piece of synthesizer history. According to VintageSynthExplorer, " it is estimated that less than 100 may still be in operation today....A working Synergy is a great and rare find. A working Synergy with some tone cartridges and a working Kaypro II computer is an even greater (and rarer) find!"
In this auction you'll be receiving
1) Synergy keyboard latest model II+ with WORKING midi
2) Printed bound manuals (owner's manual, operation manual w/ computer,synergy host programmer reference manual)
3) Wendy Carlos WD-02 Cartridge (rare, provides a second set of operating banks)
4) DIY Cartridge - this is the best part, a DIY built fully functional cartridge that has 8 banks burned to an EPROM of original Wendy Carlos programs, allowing for easy switching to new sound sets.
5) Two EPROMs with 8 banks each for the DIY cartridge card, loaded with 16 total banks of the original Wendy Carlos programs (so you now have 32+32 + (32 x 8 x 8) programs = 608 preset patches sounds!
6) Kaypro 10 Computer with keyboard
7) Box full of manuals & discs for the Kaypro
8) EPROM with the old 3.20 software
Recently fully serviced & lovingly restored by a top bay area tech, Chris @ www.thisoldsynth.com
Servicing details:
1) Newly burnt EPROMS with OS 3.21. EPROMS will only last 20 years or so. Since these were newly burnt & installed, now you know these will last you another 20 years
2) New Battery
3) Pots & switches cleaned
4) Entire cleaning of the unit
5) Key contacts & buss-bars cleaned
6) Replaced tantalum and electrolytic caps ont he circuit boards
7) Replace power fan with silent PC type (previous fan sounded like an airplane taking off)
While everything is functional, the only thing to mention is the Kaypro is missing some essential software to properly communicate with the Synergy. We've tried finding the files & loading them on, but have yet to find the correct functioning files. If we find them in time we will definitely upload them & update this listing accordingly. The kaypro is being recognized by the keyboard via the serial port, so serial port & kaypro are both working. The last step is to get the proper software on the kaypro & it will be fully there. Otherwise the remainder of the items listed & the entire system is functioning as it should. You can still easily use the keyboard without the Kaypro & enjoy the huge selection of patch presets."

via the seller: "This is a korg polysix that I recently had upgraded to a kiwisix from kiwiTechnics. It was also recently calibrated at the same time ( Oct ’14 ). It also comes with a SynthGraphics kiwisix overlay. Which has not been installed. I thought it best to leave it up to whoever buys the synths to have the choice of either installing it or not. the instructions will also be included for the overlay, Its
suppose to be a simple procedure. The overlay recently cost me $65.
Also included are the original parts before the upgrade was done. Keep in mind the polysix was working fine at the time I decided to get the Kiwitechnics upgrade. So if you choose to bring it back to stock all the old parts were working when they we’re removed. It should be a fairly easy procedure for a synth tech to revert it back to original."

KORG Prophecy SSP-1 Monophonic MOSS Analog Modeling Synthesizer SN 050017
Folktek "Bugxx" synthesizer

via this auction
"This custom piece is part of a folktek series entitled "philanthropoid"". Known simply as the Bug series. Also in the series on the site and around the world is the Mantis, dronescape sequencer,the book of sound, the moth, the growling insect, the bug, the octa-hedra, walking stick, pendulum translator and others. The sound is phenomenol and continues to amaze us. It is a sonic symphony of nasty and grimy sweetness, endless layers of sound possibilities emenating from High quality OSC originally based on high tech speech synthesis. Seemingly random bits can be rediscovered time and time again and then there are those moments that you will most likely never rediscover. Endlessly captivating, this piece WILL provide sounds that you will not find in other synthesizers and will astonish you every time you turn it on.
This particular piece features four patchable knobs, and a twelve point magnetic patchbay. This allows you to determine function and provides tons of flexibility. In addition, two more knobs (global knob control and power kill) , glowing lamp power indicator , 2 folktek button/switches for activate and freeze mode sections, light activated strobe patch section, reset, 1/4" output, basic manual of function and layout. You'll be able to cipher through waveforms and textures with extreme sensitivity in thousands of ways. Waveforms (individual, or multiple layers) can be captured and maintained, often intermodulating in beautiful and/or disturbing ways. Super sensitive knobs let you filter through tons of sounds and glitchscapes. Housed in a handmade hardwood box. Albums are waiting to be created here as the sound is quite different from anything else you'll find.."
