ESK - Ambient 2 with Percussa SSP FX

Published on Sep 10, 2019 Metunar

"Again i used the Percussa SSD as an effect mixer.
The Tom Oberheim SEM gets some dual delay from the Percussa and also a simple sequence.
The first Arturia Minibrute makes the solo sound with a long reverb FX from the Percussa.
And the second Arturia Minibrute has only a Midi connection to the EMU Ultra Proteus which goes into the Percussa with a comb filter and a delay FX.

"This little Bass/Organ Synth is in perfect working order. All keys and functions have been tested and found to be fully functional. The four square knobs are octave switchers, and the others seem to effect timbre, frequency and resolution. The knob on the far left is for tuning. It functions fine. Octave switches can be stacked for a more robust sound. These things are Super,Super Rare!

The EB 250 was a lower end model version of this one.

Mono & headphones out. Built in power cable and housed in its own carrying case.

Optional 100v voltage converter NOT included ,however it works just fine on 120v.'

Curious how many Nextel Qs are still minty fresh. They don't seem to age well. Note you can get new ALBS knobs at Modular Addict.

Rare JEN J-880 SUPERSTRINGER

I believe this is the first post to feature the JEN J-880. Another rare previously unknown synth for the site. Be sure to see the New Old label at the bottom of this post for more.

"Here is a very hard to come by JEN J-880 Superstringer string machine .

Basically it's a ARP/Eminent Solina String Ensemble clone.
It features 3 sections with independent volume sliders: Bass / Strings / Brass
It also allows you control over the attack and release part of the string section ("crescendo" and "sustain" sliders).
It further has a switchable vibrato with intensity, speed and delay controls.
And finally you have a "solo" function that turns the typical heavy ensemble BBD effect off. (but it still leaves a light phaser/flanger effect to the soune).

Condition is quite good. Some scuffs but nothing bad, check pictures.
Everything works as it should and it sounds great. Very close to the original Solina.
The only issue is the "viola" knob being a bit temporamental, it sometimes don't want to stay on. But it works. The issue is only mechanical. It's an easy fix i'm sure but I didn't want to open the unit, and to be honnest, the viola switch is almost alwaus on."
