JASS-1 "Just A Simple Synthesizer"

"JASS-1
'Just A Simple Synthesizer'

My graduation project from Forsbergs Skola.

My idea was to make a synthesizer for people who can't afford one, due to them being very expensive.
So I came up with the idea of making a synthesizer out of cardboard, some wires, electric paint and a circuit board.

You apply the electric paint to the cardboard, then you connect the wires between the electric paint and the circuit board. And finally you load up the circuit board with whatever sounds you like.

And now you have a simple synthesizer."

ARP PRO/DGX Pro Soloist III Model 2720 SN 0055

via this auction

"This is a rare FULLY FUNCTIONAL ARP PRO/DGX Pro Soloist III Model 2720 (serial# 0055!) It has only been used in my smoke-free home studio.

The Pro/DGX is a thirty preset monophonic analog synth based on the of the 1970's. The main difference is that the Pro/DGX had electronic switching (touch buttons) between its preset sounds whereas the older Pro-Soloist had circuit-based switching (rocker switches). It has 30 preset sounds to choose from, including Flute, Bassoon, Brass, Fuzz Guitar etc. Other features included pitch, portamento, vibrato, growl and wow effects. The keyboard has 37 keys with aftertouch sensitivity for volume, brilliance, vibrato, wow, growl, and even bend effects (all at once if you desire!). Please note: that the Portamento slider knob is missing; the sliders are inherently not very smooth (replacements are available on ebay; however, it is not known how smooth they are).

Unit will be professionally packed and insured for shipping."

1969 Hammond Innovex Condor GSM Guitar Synth PLUS Condor SSM Synthesizer Ovation

via this auction

"If you're looking at this auction, you probably know a bit about these already. The Hammond Condor Innovex GSM was one of the first guitar synthesizers. It was the result of a collaboration between Hammond and Ovation Guitars. Jimi Hendrix was inspired to purchase one of these systems at Manny's in NYC...one of the reasons it piqued my interest. These are rare items to come by. It is about 45 years old and works but is in need of some TLC to get it back to optimal operation.

Included in this auction:
Rare 1969 Hammond Innovex Condor GSM guitar synthesizer
Condor (Ovation) Electric Guitar with hexaphonic pickup and hexaphonic cord
Original hardshell case for the guitar
Carrying suitcase for the GSM
Rare 1969 Hammond Innovex Condor SSM speaker system synthesizer
Hammond Innovex Condor SSM speaker system synthesizer (It works but I was keeping it in the event I needed spare parts)
Original carrying case for the SSM which should also accommodate the GSM (stabilizing feet are included)

I just played this for a number of hours, tried it in both mono and stereo modes and paired the synth pickup with the standard pickups. It needs some TLC on the electrical end but this thing is really incredible."

via this auction

"Roland Jupiter 6 - Roland's Flagship Vintage Analogue Poly Monster.

Not much needs to be said for this machine. Easily one of Roland's best designed, best engineered, and best sounding machines of all time. This thing looks, feels and, most importantly, sounds like a real solid piece of musical machinery. 6 Voices, 12 oscillators of pure analogue brilliance, dual envelopes, Multimode Roland VCF's. So much versatility in the sound palette.

The Jupiter 6 is capable of some of the most Classic and nostalgic strings, rich brass and pads, ripping leads and synth sounds, and huge thumping bass lines. This thing is a serious bit of kit!

This machine has just come from a thorough service and checkup, and is ready for the stage or studio. The work completed is enough to bring this vintage beauty into the modern age, giving it a new lease on life for the years to come. It has been fully tuned and calibrated, and it sounds as solid as it looks."

Storm For Stu

"Made this jam over the course of two days for Stu over @ Eowave. ALL sounds are sourced from an Eowave Orage. The only effects that were used are delay from an Alright Devices Chronoblob and reverb from an Intellijel Springray on the arpeggiated chords. Everything else is the raw Eowave Orage being manipulated by either a Happy Nerding FM Aid, Stillson Hammer MKII or a Mannequins Just Friends. An Eowave Centre de Controle performed the MIDI and trigger duties. An Intellijel Quadra performed envelope duties.

All sounds were compiled and arranged in Ableton Live. Some sounds were reversed and spread out in the stereo field. No filters or EQ except for a mix/master rack in Ableton for final mixing.

I wanted to keep the sounds as pure as from the source as possible :)

Hang up your hangs ups and let your hearts be happy!"
