MATRIXSYNTH

Extremely Rare Vintage Maxon Mariner MX-2 Keyboard Synthesizer

This one in via electraumatisme.

So how rare? I've never seen or come across one in the ten years of running MATRIXSYNTH. This appears to be the first Maxon Mariner MX-2 post on the site out of 128,070 posts on the site including this one to date. Tracking everything synth seven days a week, it's a super rare treat coming across a vintage synthesizer you've never seen before. If anyone knows more about the Mariner feel free to leave a comment. There are 14 previous Maxon posts mainly for their drum synth and effects.

The Mariner appears to have the following sections:

- Tune
- Tone Source with two oscillators
- Noise Source
- Modulator Section with one LFO and four destinations
- Resonant Filter with ENV modulation and Pitch knob
- ADSR, Transpose, Source Select, Bender Select & Portamento controls to the left of the keyboard

The description from the listing follows in French followed by a Googlish translation to English.

TTSH, ARP 2600 Clone, Hybrid Modular synthesizer

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

via this auction

via the seller: "Two Thousand Six Hundred clone, semi-modular, analog synthesizer that was build with care, tested and tuned with precision to fit in any musical setup. Although Its slightly smaller in size, the TTSH is a resurrection of the classic hybrid-modular synth, ARP 2600 AKA the original Star Wars R2D2 voice. It offers 3 oscillators, endless modulation possibilities and a built in 4AB3A1B reverb tank for extra long and warm decays. I've added 1/4" jacks at the back for extra left and right ins and outs which makes up for a more standard patching scenario in todays world. It is very easy to setup in any midi situation, just connect any midi controller, sequencer with a CV/Gate out to the CV/Gate input on the TTSH and you're ready to explore a universe of endless soundscape possibilites! I recommend anyone passionate about analog synths to go the extra mile and get this one, it's a musical beast, a must have!!"
