Update: had the wrong link above. It is now fixed.
via the seller: "Perfect condition! Was completely refurbished less than a year ago by Dean at Five Star Engineering at a cost of over $900.00. I have had this synth since 1989 and it plays and sounds awesome!"
"I gave some of my music to a work colleague who is making a game called "Aphelion Run"
I knocked this together out of an old forgotten project i started to rip off old Italo Disco tunes and after checking out the game i thought i suited it quite well.
Sustain and Expression pedals were used during the filmed performances.
Effects:
Vesta Kozo RV-3 Dual Spring Reverb
Vesta Kozo DIG-410 Digital Delay (used as a chorus effect and delay)
Ibanez AD202 Multi-mode Analog Delay
Lexicon MX400 Digital Reverb"
"The Poly Evolver Keyboard excels at producing immense brass patches. I'd say it's one of its strongest sounds. This lumbering improvisation uses one such example, and I intend others of this type to follow.
The dynamic changes are created with the modulation wheel, which opens the filter.
"Very rare Octave Plateau Voyetra 8 analog synthesizer, with the accompanying VPK-5 keyboard, with Version 4 boards. If you've been looking to add one to your studio, this is the one you want.
One of, if not the best polyphonic analog synthesizer out there. The V8 combines two CEM3340 oscillators (each with a sub-oscillator) and a SSM 2044 filter per voice with a huge amount of modulation abilities. The end result is a wonderful sounding synth that can easily go from subtle to HUGE. This particular unit is a green card rev. 4 machine, which is the final and most stable version of the Voyetra. It can accept MIDI sysex and can be controlled by external software and programmers.
Included is a VPK-5 controller keyboard. You can either use this controller or midi to control the Voyetra (but not at the same time).
Also included is the necessary XLR to MIDI cable, the operation manual, and other documentation. You are literally getting the "complete" package for the Voyetra.
Because this is a vintage piece of electronic equipment (and a sensitive one at that), there are some things to mention.
• The machine is currently fully calibrated, but trimmers inside the unit (for the voice card volumes and filters) may shift during shipping. If this happens, it's straight forward to re-calibrate them as long as you are able to turn a knob and use a tuner.
"This is an Oberheim OB-MX rack-mount synthesizer that was used by Rick Wakeman (as a 6-voice unit) during the recording of the Keys to Ascension album in 1995-1996. I obtained it from Rick's producer, who let Rick use it during the recording of the album.
An additional voice card was later added to make it a 8-voice unit. It can be expanded with 2 more voice cards to a full 12-voice system.
Excellent condition, includes operation manual. New battery, OS 1.04 (a later OS is available for free on-line, OS 2.00).
The Oberheim OBMx is a modern synthesizer module with an audio path that is entirely analog. It has an intuitive and powerful interface which makes it easy for anyone
to program their own unique sounds. The OBMx claims to deliver the classic Oberheim and Minimoog sounds while being completely programmable and midi compatible.
One historical point is that the OB-Mx is, at present, the last synthesizer designed by Don Buchla. The 'Oberheim filter' provides 12 dB/oct low, band or hi pass filtering, with resonance. And the 'Minimoog filter' uses a 24 dB/oct low-pass filter."
