"I became really enchanted with this patch I made on the Hydrasynth, and it felt good to play, so I improvised some chords to chill out. Still figuring out this new setup, so apologies for the blurry top of my head!"

Vintage ARP Odyssey Mk II 2813 Synthesizer Fully Serviced w/ LED Sliders SN 1436

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

via this auction, also on Reverb

"This vintage ARP Odyssey has just been fully serviced by Synthchaser, the west coast's leading ARP specialist - recapped, new ICs, new key bushings, all new LED sliders, fully functional, tuned and calibrated, and sounding awesome! The Odyssey was ARP's answer to the Minimoog, a feature packed scaled down version of the legendary ARP 2600. This particular ARP Odyssey is equipped with the 4075 filter, the 4 pole LPF found in all late model ARP synths.

The synth is in great condition, and the silkscreen is strong and clean, which is often lacking in Mk II Odysseys found on the market. Two small holes in the panel above the lower end of the keyboard (where an old mod was removed) have been tastefully capped off. The LED sliders are color coded to correspond to the original colored slider caps, which give a visual indicator of the function of each control. If you are afraid this will wear thin when Christmas season is over, I am willing to change the LED color scheme to something more subdued, or disable the illumination entirely for the buyer before shipping, upon request.

Work just completed on the synth included:

Sequential Prophet 6 & Eventide H9 (Spacetime)

This one reminds me of Dead Can Dance.

Interesting side note: I noticed there were some Brendan Perry presents in Arturia's iSEM app that sounded a bit like Dead Can Dance. I always wondered if they were by him.

Anvil Synthesizers "The Anvil" Digital Percussion Synthesizer Ad

This one is via @mu_zines

"The Anvil" was featured in this post from 2014. Muzines, an online repository of music magazines, posted an article on The Anvil here. The question though, is did any of these ever get produced? If you know, feel free to leave a comment. The advert to the left implies they were taking orders at some point they were selling off their IP. Interesting bit of synth history. One of those mystery synths no one knows what happened to...

Update: note the address in the print is 29 Chowmley Gardens, Aldred Road, London NW6. Someone mentioned it could be Cholmley Gardens, pictured. A search on Chowmley gets redirected to Cholmley, so this is likely. Interesting to see where it could have all happened. I used to walk by Serge's shop in Hollywood, none the wiser, when I was a kid. I do remember the wig shop. :)

Update2: interesting side note from Rob Walker: "Reading the in depth article linked to, one of the designers was Roy Gwinn who is known for his Guitar Effects pedal design which Chris Carter adapted into the Gristleizer. I sold Roy a Doepfer Euro case a couple of years back, I’ve asked if he can shed any light."

Update3: via the comments below: "The story of the Anvil Percussion Synth is in RHYTHM MACHINES 2: The 1980s Drum Computers - By Alex Graham. It's available on Amazon (the book, not the Anvil)." [on Amazon here]

Update4: From Roy Gwinn: 'No, the Anvil was never finished. I underestimated the time to do the software, and the hardware was a bit iffy when it got hot. All fixable, but we ran out of money.'
