Signed EDP Gnat Special Synthesizer

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

via this auction

"Up for auction, a very rare Electronic Dream Plant (EDP) Gnat Special Synthesizer. This is synth is in unique and is capable of wonder vintage analog synth sounds. The synth is working, the oscillators can be very brilliant, raw, and deep with bass ranges. Combined with the juicy analog filter it's synth heaven. The Enhance mode oscillator sounds particularly amazing, its the best sounding bass oscillator you'll have at your disposal. Used in a professional sound design studio, smoke free.

Synth collectors take note, this item has an interesting history/provenance. I purchased it directly from one of the EDP founders Adrian Wagner (also a descendant relative of the composer Richard Wagner). He signed the bottom. This unit is a very early Gnat Special, there isn't a serial number."

2 x EDP Wasp Stynthesizers

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

via this auction

"Here is an Incredible opportunity to purchase two wasp synthesizers. These have both been extensively used in the 1970’s and 80’s by a local leeds band “Lynx”. They are no longer in working order but can be restored to their former glory. The keyboards are particularly well worn and indeed one of them has a broken key."

Thought these pics were interesting as you can see underneath the yellow paint on the keys in one shot, and how the yellow rubs off with wear in another.

Roland System 8 at BPM

Published on Sep 13, 2016 sonicstate

"We got a short time with extremely busy David Ahlund and the Roland System-8, the new ACM modeled poly synth with three plug out slots. It will ship with two of these slots filled with the Jupiter 8 and the Juno 106 - which we think will actually have 8 voices due to the new and more powerful custom DSP chip inside."

Korg MS-20 Synthesizer Multi-Track Demo #4

Published on Sep 13, 2016 gstormelectro

"Audio and Video by G-Storm Electro c.2016

This is a Multi-Track demo with all sounds coming from the Korg MS-20 analog monophonic synthesizer. Going for some aggressive sounds today, putting up some of the patches of these sounds, and a tribute to some bands that have used MS-20 in studio or on stage.

The track is called No Refunds. It is inspired by the VCA noise controversy that apparently spawned a few synth returns in music stores. I shall not be refunding mine. :)"
