"This Oberheim CPS-1 Synthesizer Expander Module in perfect working condition. All internal and external parts are 100% original. It has a manufacture date of June 27, 1977. Cosmetically speaking, only the most minor scuffing is observable on the vertical front panel, and the sticker which read 'VCA CTRL' is faded ."

We always think of these as the SEM for Synthesizer Expander Module on the front, but the actual model number is CPS-1. Anyone know what the CPS stands for and if there was ever a CPS-2, 3, etc.? If I ever knew or posted it before, I forget. That does happen now and then. :)

Yamaha CS01 Synthesiser - Stunning Condition in Original Packaging with Manuals

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

via this auction

"An incredibly rare find! A vintage 1982-1984 Yamaha CS-01 Analog Synthesiser in its original packaging (including polystyrene), with the original Yamaha Owners manual and a copy of Synthesisers Made Easy by Dave Bristow.

The unit is in fantastic condition - it's pretty much perfect on the keyboard face. There are only a couple of scuffs/scratches on the base, which I've done my best to photograph. I've tested the Synth on batteries and through an AC adapter, and it functions perfectly. Please note that batteries and an AC adapter will not be included - I had to use a variable power supply for testing, as the AC adapter was always sold as an optional extra. I've also tested it through the line-out, and the output is clean and crackle-free."

Ondes Martenot & Piano Rehearsal / Snippet #2 / Gymnopédies No. 1

Published on Nov 18, 2016 Josh Semans

"We recently started working on an arrangement of the first of Satie's three Gymnopédies, adapted for ondes Martenot and Piano. This is audio from a recent rehearsal of our arrangement, accompanied by some assorted video clips from the same rehearsal.

It's not a 'live' video, so to speak. The audio and visuals are largely asynchronous.

Ondes Martenot (Ondomo) & Piano by Josh & Joshua, Video captured and graded by Mark.

Ondomo by Asaden. Legacy of Love."

"Cheap and cheerful little ADSR from Happy Nerding. 6hp, tight envelope that also goes long. Nice knobs and good to get your fingers in and jam with."
