EMS Vocoder 2000

"I have owned at one point or another almost every vintage vocoder ever made, including all the popular classics like the Roland SVC350, Roland VP330, EMS 1000, 2000, Sennheiser VSM201, Moog Vocoder, etc. To me the EMS 2000 is one of the best out of them all for creating pronounced and intelligible vocals while giving you the vocoding effect, though it can get quite creativity and warped on other settings as well. For a small box with only a few switches there's still loads of sounds to be had. There's nothing quite as classic as a good vintage vocoder, every collector or home studio needs to have at least one. Don't miss out!"

Sequential Circuits MultiTrak Vintage Polyphonic Synth

"The Sequential Circuits MultiTrak is an underrated and somewhat rare analog synth. It has an onboard arpeggiator and sequencer as well as MIDI. The unit is in very good condition with the exception of some scratches on the bottom. This is a great sounding synth and everything works as it should.

The internal lithium battery that maintains the patches was replaced just a couple of weeks ago and I restored the patches I had using the tape interface. I couldn't find a factory patch WAV online, but you can find MIDI SysEx dumps online and the Owner's Manual contains settings for the original factory sounds. "

Note, if your Multi-Trak continues to lose it's patches over time, it likely needs the regulator fix. I believe all original Multi-Traks suffered from this design flaw.

"Vintage Roland SH-1000 analogue synthesiser with bass pedal

Dating from around 1973.

Rolands first Synthesiser!

In good condition for its age and as far as I can tell working as it should. The output is a little noisy but not bad considering its 45 years old!

This one has been modified and comes with a working bass pedal that can be attached

The silver top to one of the knobs is missing

Complete with flight case sheet music stand and some original patch sheets some unused!"

Roland MC202 Analog Synth Sequencer SN 350800 w/ Original Box

"Synth section fully working aside from the VCO/ LFO amount slider, so unable to modulate VCO for vibrato effects.

Sequencer section is working with issues!

If you move the sliders around while a sequence is running (as I'm sure most people would) it will stop, if you press Start again it will continue.

The switches & certain of the sliders are more prone to this than the others.

So you can use as is for SH101 sounds, or can run sequences so long as you don't want to tweak them!

Selling as 'parts or not working' as messing with the sliders while running the sequencer is such a major part of using an MC202.. but it is working otherwise!

Sometimes, the sequence won't begin in the first place (Start button inoperative) though it has recorded & can be edited.

I don't think it's the button pads or contacts, as I had these working with the top off, more likely a hairline trace or contact sensitive enough to respond to finger pressure, perhaps the flexing of the case and/ or circuit board? Never any problems playing the synth & manipulating the sliders from the front panel.

Complete with original box (tatty) & manual."

Roland MKS-80 Super Jupiter Rev.4, Alesis IO Dock II-iPad

"Roland MKS-80 Super Jupiter Analog Synth, Alesis IO Dock II, and iPad.
*Please note that my photos show a lot of reflections on the shiny surfaces of the Alesis IO Dock and the iPad. If you look at the various pictures you will see that those are not scratches and are actually reflections of my record collection and the overhead lighting.

My MKS-80 is in great condition and sounds big and beautiful. It does have some light scratches and some rack marks, but nothing major. The MKS-80 Super Jupiter is a classic analog 8 voice polyphonic synth and is capable of making anything from wall shaking bass to beautiful sweet pads.

I am also including my Alesis IO Dock II and my iPad (3rd Gen with WiFi and Cellular conectivity).
I have the Lemur MKS-80 editor installed on the iPad (as seen in my photos). It allows you to easily edit your MKS-80 patches in realtime. With this setup you can sequence the MKS-80 using iPad sequencers or connect it to your computer via USB and sequence it with your DAW. This setup is really nice. I included a photo with some text overlay showing how to setup the DAW connectivity. It's pretty easy.

You will also receive a M-64C Memory Cartridge, the original manual for the MKS-80 and the manual for the Alesis IO Dock II.

This gear has been kept in my smoke free home studio, so it will arrive smelling clean."
