"The synthesizer was serviced by VG-Line (Russian factory that specializes on production of analog synthesizers, e.g. Polivoks, and repair of vintage synths). The repair affected the details of the power supply, so the synthesizer is powered now by a 220 volt outlet. The repair did not affected the original Yamaha details of sound processing, so the synthesizer sounds the same as it did 40 years ago."
"Near perfect condition. Perfect working condition. Has original working 3.5" floppy drive AND bootable 8GB HD (splittable in eight 1GB BOOTABLE HD) via SD card. So you can boot with the SD card or the floppy disk drive. Upgraded with blue OLED screen and two new super quiet cooling fans. I also upgraded with front push buttons colors for a more comprehensive view IMHO. If the original black buttons are desired, they can easily be switched back to black. All keys on the keyboard are very smooth and function perfect as do all of the front switches and sliders. The "E III" logo on the back and all front lettering and text is flawless with no scratches. In fact, this complete E3 machine is in near perfect condition. All 16 voices function properly with no errors."
"A real time recording of the Moog Subharmonicon, EH Canyon Looper, Empress Reverb, Encore Frequency Shifter, a custom RADIO module for the 5U large format modular, Dove Audio WTF VCO, synthesizers.com Q150 filter and Echo Fix EF-X2 tape delay. The radio module is voltage controlled by a Q119 step sequencer from synthesizers.com. It is run into the frequency shifter and a mix of several noise and stored random voltages from the Sputnik West Coast Random Source (a Buchla Source of Uncertainty clone) is modulating the frequency center. This is then run to an STG Post Lawsuit Low Pass Filter and on to an Oakley Audio state variable filter in band pass resonant mode. I am playing the center frequency of this filter and sending the signal on to the Echo Fix tape delay. The delay is voltage controlled from a Mega Ohm Audio LFO2 module from the 5U modular with a very slow rising ramp wave. As the voltage drops off the tape delay motor sweeps back down with a wonderful gliding effect. The Subharmonicon is clocked from another Mega Ohm Audio LFO2. The output of Sequencer 2 is sent to a Dove Audio Window Transform Function VCO and gated to a Q109 Envelope Generator as well as run through the Q150 Transistor Ladder filter by synthesizers.com. A separate instance of the Subharmonicon was previously recorded to the Electro Harmonix Canyon pedal looper. It is faded up at the last portion to add momentum to the piece. The Empress Reverb pedal is adding some nice modulated reverb to the SubH and Canyon. What I really enjoyed was the glorious runaway feedback of the tape echo. It was fun to balance out the moving swells at the same time as playing the sub oscillators on the SubH and Oakley filter. As I moved about the antenna of the radio varied in how strong the signal picked up the AM radio stations. This lended another modulation and random aspect to the waveforms injected into the piece. A fun exercise."
