Korg 900-PS "Preset" 1975 SN 770531 w/ Touch Bar Expression Controller / Strip

via this auction

"This rare, cool-ass number is a lush sounding analog mono synth, mostly organized around presets, but with some moderate tweakable functionality on board as well. This is a very well preserved specimen of a rare synth, and it’s served me very well over the years. Would love for this to go to a loving home. It’s in much better shape than most synths from 40 years ago.

A few exceptions:

-The power on light does not work
-No sheet music stand
-Missing cap on a slider (see photos)
-Some external scratches and wear

Other than those notable exceptions, it's in great shape!

(PS- yes, the touch bar still works perfectly!)"

Definitely a day for oddball auction posts. This one has been featured in the past. See the Mattel label below for more or do a search on Bee Gees on the top right of the site for more.

The blue strip above the keys has the most notable wear, otherwise normal wear from use/age. Lots of photos included from all angles! Battery door and stand are intact.

Another odd and rare item. I believe this is yet another first to be featured on the site. I found an old video of one below.

Sound module has 64 voices (no polyphony). Unit has reverb, automatic transposition, octave switching, vibrato/pitch bend, and pitch control from A438-445.

Kawai XD-5 Drum Machine Digital Synthesizer Percussion Rock/FX ROM Voice Card

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

via this auction

One of those obscure items from synth history. This is the first one to be posted on the site. Via the listing:

"I used this in my Kawai XD-5 drum module a long time ago and have since sold it, which I regret because it was a great sounding unique programmable drum module which sounded awesome....especially with its resonant filter which responded to velocity

I was hoping to buy another XD-5 at some point, which never happened, so I am not using this card anymore and it is of no use to me without an XD-5... so, If you have an XD-5 it could be useful to you.

It is a Sound Source Unlimited ROM card 'Rock/FX' Performance Voice Card with presets on it...64 single patches, 16 Kits and 16 output patches...if I remember correctly"

Yamaha FS1R FM Synthesizer OS Version 1.20 SN OZ01101

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

via this auction

"The Unit Face and Readout are in Nice Shape. The Metal Case has some moderate scratches. No Structural Damage Noted. Missing One (1) Control Knob on the FM Adjustment as Pictured. Unit Powers-up and the Function Buttons APPEAR to Function Properly. When received the LED Readout was Barely Readable so I searched online where it was suggested to do a Reset to Factory Settings. While I was trying to figure out how to do a Reset I ran across the LED Contrast Adjustment and Changed it to a "3" Setting. No Other Changes were Made and the Settings and Additions made by the Previous Owner Remain Intact. The "FM" Adjuster which is Missing the Knob Does Change the Values in the Readout when Adjusted."

"Ken MacBeth's Micromac is a small and yet powerful, full analog standalone synthesizer voice module for your Eurorack modular system. Unlike his competitors it has three voltage controlled oscillators and a classic Moog lowpass filter.

Alesis Ineko FX Pedal Demo w/ A Synthesizer #11 [unboxing?]


Published on Jan 8, 2019 gstormelectro

"Audio and Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2019

This is the fabled Alesis Ineko effects pedal. Hasn't been out of the box in a while, time to unleash the Kraken. It's like the culmination of all the algorithms that appeared in Alesis modfx effects pedal series. It doesn't look like much, but it is very tweakable and has a few surprises. Like a lo-fi playground for happy accidents. Today I want to share w/ you what it sounds like on synthesizers, drum machines and stuff like that."

"Just got a hapiNES from Twisted Electrons and I’m having a go at it for the first time. I’m still learning the device but I was able to quickly write some simple melody loops with a beat real quick. Synced it up to a couple of my Pocket Operators for more sounds. hapiNES is a Nintendo inspired synthesizer. PO-20 Arcade and PO-28 Robot in the mix."
