Radiohead - Idioteque(Cover)

"I miss you."
On an Analogue Systems eurorack system, just like Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead, no less. I remember seeing Radiohed live with one, well before the eurorack became as big as it is today. This was before MATRIXSYNTH in the current blog format started.

"sketch track made with a Moog Voyager through Strymon pedals on top of a few layers built with various soft synths.
Some of the Moog stuff was also processed in ableton."

"Tested, everything works flawlessly except for a few issues -The VCO, VCF, Arpeggiator / Sequencer, LFO, Noise, bender, etc. are all great. There is a tiny bit of scratchiness in the Resonance slider for the filter but that's it.
The envelope section does not seem to work, the sliders most likely need to be replaced. The 101 will still make sound when switched to 'Gate' in the VCA section, but this bypasses the envelope. I cleaned the internals thoroughly, and there was no cosmetic sign of damage to the envelope section, so this is why I suspect the sliders.
Someone before me must have tried to clean the face of this with some kind of solvent or something - All of the screen printed labels are missing without a trace. Refer to pics.
Also, someone previously tried to change the CV/Gate output and input jacks from 1/8" to 1/4." They didn't finish, as the CV input jack is missing. The gate input jack does work. The CV/Gate outputs do not seem to work correctly (tested with other gear that I know could interface, etc.)
Seems like they also tried to start some kind of modification, with another jack next to a switch installed to the left of the other jacks. They are not connected to anything internally, I don't know what their intention was.
The main audio out, headphone out, Hold input, and External Clock (for Sequencer, Arpeggiator & Sample and Hold Clock) inputs all work perfectly."

"This is the 360 Systems Digital Keyboard Polyphonic Synthesizer from 1984 with custom flight case. It is FULLY OPERATIOAL LESS SOME ATTENTION OUTLINED BELOW.
It is in excellent condition as you can see in the photographs but is in need of new capacitors (which are readily available and cost just pennies a piece and minor adjustments. The price of the of all the replacement parts will be well under $50 with the repair costs will be in the labor involved in replacing the capacitors. If you are handy with soldering this is a phenomenal deal for the right person. It has glorious patches. More sounds than the original unit. It does pass audio but sound is often intermittent. A tech recently quoted me $75 per hour to replace the capacitors and estimated about 5-6 hours of work. There are no missing parts and the unit is complete and worked just great when used several years ago. IT HAS BEEN CAREFULLY STORED IN ITS CASE FOR SEVERAL YEARS in a secure smoke free pet free environment.
The 360 Systems Keyboard was used in recording studios in Los Angeles and NYC in the mid 80s and can be found in many popular recordings. Besides the Mellotron-esque strings and flutes, the unit has Bosendorfer Grand piano, vibraphone, two different guitars, fretless bass, slap bass, various brass and woodwinds like trumpet, saxophone, bassoon, clarinet and other original stock sounds. It also includes the rare 16 piece string orchestra chip that cost $860 itself. Each sampled sound has its own integrated circuit chip that plugs into ziff sockets on one of the three (3) internal PC boards. BTW, the keyboard can be split so you can have two sounds on different keys at the same time, one on the left/right with an adjustable threshold. You can also combine two sounds at the same time on all the keys in unison. When using the double effect the unit is much more sensitive. The keyboard is polyphonic.
VERY RARE. Less than 200 were produced between 1982-84. It is known as THE FIRST to feature sampled sounds on IC chips. I have been the sole owner of this unit and took great care to maintain its operation and condition. Originally cost $6000 with the custom case. MIDI In/Out.
Buyer to pay actual shipping based on carrier selected. Unit and case is about 100 lbs."

Inside Vintage Synthesizer Studio: Handwerk Audio
Published on Jul 29, 2016 FACTmagazine
"Peter Van Hoesen and Exercise One’s Marco Freivogel and Ricardo De Azcuenaga are known by techno fans across the world for their music.
The trio also own one of Europe’s most well-stocked vintage synth studios. Located in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district, Handwerk Audio allows anyone to pay to use some of history’s most sought-after electronic instruments, giving hard-up producers the opportunity to incorporate real analog sound in their productions without breaking the bank.
FACT TV visited Handwerk Audio where Van Hoesen and Freivogel took us on a tour of its instruments. As well as well known staples like the TR-808 drum machine and the Minimoog Model D, they introduced us to more obscure instruments such as Italy’s Elka Synthex and the strange OSCar synth from the early ‘80s."
