You don't know the power of the prophet 5 sound until you have 2 of them in one box. The bi-timbrel sonic ecstasy afforded by this machine puts it in a league of its own. And when you need the prophet 5 sound, great! Here's 10 voices of it."

John Bowen Solaris Synthesizer w/ Memory Cards

"Up for sale is the very amazing chameleon of a synthesizer… the Bowen Solaris.
As you may already know, the Solaris can really cover some serious synth territory.
It can deliver the most authentic analog sounds I have ever heard from a digital synth ( and i've tried them all ), but it also gives the most unique and amazing digital textures as well.
I personally feel that it is a VERY evolved Prophet VS, Wavestation, PPG, Waldorf engine but as stated above, It REALLY gets into the Oberheim OBXA, Xpander, Matrix 12 territory. Also competent to give Prophet, Juno, Moog sounds as well. Very much the "synth chameleon". Not to mention the amazing sequencer / arpeggiator, a stunning full panel of knobs to tweak for days and a VERY solid OS to insure you can use this synth for years and years to come.
This Solaris is in full working condition. NO operational issues. There are a few scratches underneath / sides where it was placed on stands. But the top panel is in great condition, as it most of the synth, really. Just stating things for full disclosure."

KORG volca modular: "Liquid Alloy" - Self-triggering patch
Published on Mar 17, 2019 IAmTheSwordmaster1
"This is one of my first experiments with the KORG volca modular micro-modular synthesizer. I'm completely new to this kind of West Coast style synthesis, but the concept of creating complex soundscapes with the element of coincidence is quite appealing. I created this self-triggering patch and recorded it for about ten minutes. It's some kind of hypnotic and kind of hard to recognize a pattern in the sounds as there is so much randomization going on. Follow me on this little sonic expedition and tell me, what you think about it.
The delay effect is coming from a KORG KAOSS PAD KP3, anything else is the pure sound of the volca modular and its built-in 'space' effect."

"What works:
1) It powers up when connected to a 220volt step up transformer.
2) It loads samples from floppy disc.
3) It samples and then plays samples and sequences.
4) There is no strange hum or buzzing coming from the unit (it's quiet).
5) LCD screen works, and contrast adjustment knob works.
6) The buttons all have their lettering, which is amazing for such an old unit.
7) All switches/sliders/pots currently work as they should, prior to shipping.
