Supreme Sonic Systems TS-4 (Indian Electronic Tamboura)

This one is in via Scott Laraway:

"I wanted to share with you my most recent synth acquisition - Supreme Sonic Systems TS-4 (Indian electronic tamboura).

I also have a saarang/radel DZ soft Indian synthesizer/electronic tamboura and I’ve noticed there is a dearth of info on these peculiar and delightful instruments. In fact the only info I’ve ever discovered relating to them was on matrixsynth, hence my contacting you.

Anyways this synth is very similar in sound, design and operation to those analog radel E tambouras. As usual these synths hardly offer realistic emulations of the actual instruments but instead offer delightful analog timbres with controls and design that provide rudimentary Hindustani accompaniment. Of primary interest is the accompanying pamphlet/manual, which offers arguably the most info on these instruments I’ve ever come across. It was this pamphlet that I thought would be of most use to matrixsynth followers. Also of note is that this isn’t made by radel! I’ve never seen or read anything about supreme sonic systems but I will be googling it after I finish playing with my lovely new instrument."


I asked Scott when he thinks these were produced and he believes they are from the 80s.

"This listing is for a rare & vintage Synclavier PSMT Synthesizer keyboard workstation. The workstation includes everything photographed. There are multiple different units and 7 tubs full of different cords. All of the items photographed were kept together, so I assumed it all belongs to this unit, but I am not 100% sure.

***This unit is being sold untested in as is condition without returns. I have no idea how to even begin setting it up to test its functionality. It came from a storage estate that had a wide variety of musical recording equipment.***

Due to how much comes with this unit, this listing is for local pick up only. The item is located in Orange County, California. If an out-of-state buyer is interested, the shipping must be arranged and paid for by the buyer."

Deckards Dream Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer Keyboard # 676

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

via this auction

"Beautiful rev 2 Deckards Dream. It’s from the latest run that just shipped so it’s crispy new and is much slimmer than the last run. The synth is in perfect working order and sounds amazing.

This unit has the latest firmware 1.2.5 and has been loaded with Paul Schillings awesome presets. Bank 1 is very convincing CS80 Blade Runner Presets and Bank 2 has been loaded with his weirder polysynth presets. These presets sound incredible and have made it more difficult to get rid of this thing but I need the cash unfortunately.

It will come shipped in it’s original box with the power supply as well as an additional box with plenty of protection. I’ll ship worldwide as well, let me know if you have any questions."
