"This Oberheim Xpander is a beautiful vintage synth from 1986 and was originally purchased in Philadelphia. This is a great opportunity to own a classic piece of musical history with an endless amount of sound possibilities. Tested this before it was put on auction and it operates as it should. It's got some minor scratches and blemishes as seen in the photos. The 'h' in the name 'Oberheim' on the back side of the machine has been partially removed accidentally by a piece of tape that was stuck on it. Due to its age it is sold as is and guaranteed not DOA."
"Buchla Music Easel - "Pressure Inverted Feedback Patch" experiment.
Patch was inspired by Todd Barton, who had suggested sending CV from the EG into the Easel LPG's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfSxQ... Using the Inverter for one of the LPG channels - thereby creating a "see saw" effect: as one gate opens, the other closes etc.
In this patch I sent the 218 pressure out to the LPG's, w/the inverter used on ch 2.
I patched an audio feedback loop to ch 2, w/the Mod Osc set to "bal. ext" (modulation slider maxed).
Then tuned both VCO's to unison.... then with careful level adjustments (and reverb mix) - I used the 218 to play notes ... and as I applied pressure, the output would toggle between tuned feedback and principle VCO output.
"This one is in very good overall condition and sounds as it should, things to note are that the power supply isn't original and the wood veneer on the pedal board is a little chipped on one side, and loose on the other.
Comes With:
Synth Module
Pedal Board
CV Control Cable
Hight Adjustable Pole
Power Supply (non original)
Original Moog Soft Carry Case, for synth, cables and power supply
This unusual synth is essentially a Moog Rogue with a pedal board, different from the Taurus mark 1 as it doesn't feature presets, some will argue this makes it a lesser model, but if you know your way around a synth you can re create the presets of the original machine. This instrument essentially being more versatile. It is a different beast though compared to the original but anyone who downplays the T2 vs the old one just isn't willing to spend the time getting the most out of this great synth."
