"The first Kilpatrick Phenol on eBay! Used less than an hour!
The PERFECT entry into Modular Synthesis without mortgaging your house. Pristine condition.
Comes with everything in the package, plus 10 extra high quality Pomona Red BananaPlug Cables (a $60 value), totally 20 cables.
Kickstarter darling! Be one of the first few people to get one of these.
This thing is eurorack compatible (same voltages), and Kilpatrick Audio is working on cables to connect into.
CV, MIDI, AUDIO In, Built-in Delay!"
"One of the rarest analogue synths ever. 12 VCOs, stereo output - real fat sound! Pretty close to CS-80, but much stable and autotunable.
In fully working order and good cosmetic condition.
Pots and switches moves without any cracks or noises. The tune is fine. Patch memory function also works as should.
No dust or dirt inside.
All electrolytic capacitors in power supply was replaced and PSU was precisely adjusted after that.
Fully serviced and ready for years of problem-free use!
As you can see in photos, battery cover has lost some paintwork, because of old battery leakage. I have changed battery holder to the exactly same, but new and clean. ( if you need the old battery holder, I can included it.)
Socket for power cable was replaced to the standard type, that you can find on any modern PC, for example. If you want, I can place original socket back, and give you original cable, but if you loose or broke it, I am sure that it will be pain to find a replacement because of it rareness..."
"In good working condition, front panel very good, a few knob caps missing as usual, wooden side cheeks a bit scratched and used. This is a good workhorse synth with an immediate interface allowing for fast creation of new sounds."
"Versatile 1970s synth in superb condition with clean, unmarked panels, brightly coloured knob caps, unmarked body (except for faint mark where a label has been removed above the keyboard). Some slight dints in the wooden ends. The general consensus is that these synths were made by Arp.
All functions work well: the Mode switch doesn't click into it's 3 positions but does work correctly. The aftertouch is a bit stiff and needs a firm key press. Very dramatic modulation effects are easily achieved with the aftertouch. As well as loads of presets there is a non resonant filter called Brilliance, LFO, Portamento/Glissando (very unusual!), Flanger, Spring Reverb (very, very unusual!), Repeat, Pitch Bend, Hold and more.
Supplied with power lead and manual (not original)."
"Not a 'big' tip but a fun one. Since the Expansion Input on the Buchla 207e mixer has no attenuation and is routed permanently to the final mix is it perfect for external softsynth keyboard. In this instance an East Coast digital Animoog meets the West Coast Buchla. Enjoy"
"My latest modular synthesizer song, performed live, showcasing all the sick lights and sounds that make modular synths the best musical instruments ever.
- The beginning "horn" is a sample sound from QuBit's Nebulae
- Added the Mutant drums (Bassdrum, HiHats, Cymbals), with the bass line from The Harvestman's Hertz Donut.
- Flute melody comes from Mutable Instruments' Braids, morphed by Expert Sleepers' Disting, then crazy distorted by the Malgorithm, pulling the patch cord out from Metrolpolis and touching the pitch jack for the heavy metal guitar breakdown.
- Bells at the end from Mutable's Elements with DPO and tELHARMONIC both being filtered with high resonance by DSI's Curtis Filter.
- Rhythms created by both the Delptronics Trigger Man and 4ms' SCM/SCM Breakout.
No computers were used in this piece. All modular synths.

"The sides and front rail are crafted out of solid walnut which is quite expensive. The bottom panel is made out of quality maple plywood (no particle board or utility grade plywood here). I recently built another for a Polysix owner and now have decided to offer these on eBay. I'm not aware of anyone else currently making these available. There was another guy once, but he seems to have vanished about 3 years ago. From his pictures, I didn't like what he was offering anyhow. He had large screws on the outside holding on the end caps, junky, knotty utility grade plywood for the bottom and no RF shielding added. Other than the internal battery that would often leak and destroy a Polysix, a common complaint of owners was the cheap particle board body that banged up and crumbled easily."
