Make Noise Telharmonic

Published on Feb 21, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"The Telharmonic from Make Noise is an ode to synthesis history. In implements digital models of three classic early electronic tone generation techniques. The first one is a 3-Voice additive harmonic synthesis engine that is inspired by the development of the Telharmonium (where the module gets its title), invented by Thaddeus Cahill in 1897. The second is modeled after a computer program written by James Tenney at Bell Laboratories in 1961. This synthesis model was made to generate fluctuating noise bands. The third synthesis engine is a classic Phase Modulation modeler, as used in many commercial digital synths from the 1980's."

Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 vintage synth

Published on Feb 21, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"One of the first fully programmable polyphonic analog synths, the Prophet 5 is the most classic synthesizer of the eighties! It is capable of a delightful analog sound unique to Sequential's Prophet series in which the P5 was King! Five voice polyphony - two oscillators per voice and a white noise generator. The analog filters, envelope and LFO all sound great and are extremely flexible. The P5 had patch memory storage as well, which scanned and memorized every knob setting for storing and recalling your sounds - a desperately needed feature at the time!"

Vintage Electro-Harmonix EH 0400 Mini-Synthesizer

via this auction

"For sale is one of EH's coolest & rarest products - the EH Mini-synth, made around 1980. This thing's a tiny analog synth that's powered by (2) 9v batteries, or AC adapter. It's got a built in speaker and sounds AMAZING! Electro-Harmonix makes rock’n’roll effects & this unit is true-to-form. It’s a vintage rock’n’roll synth.

The EH-0400 has a 25 note membrane keyboard (instead of actual keys) & a built-in speaker. It also has 1/4″ jack to plug into an amp. It features one analog VCO with a pulse waveform, octave divider, and LFO for Pulse-Width-Modulation. The filters and the phasor make for loads of tweaking fun, & all of the controls/features work. The Mini-Synth can get ornery with lack of use, since dust in the sliders & touch-sensitive membrane can make it a bit scratchy. But a bit of contact cleaner attention will keep it going for years. All of the notes play; I had fun messing with it, & I’m not even a keyboard player (strictly guitar here!).

Cosmetically, this EH-0400 is in nice condition for being 35+ years-old, with nearly all of paint still on the keyboard & all of the colored tips on the sliders. Included is a new power source, already set on the proper polarity (+ on the tip of the plug) & voltages."
