Vintage Synthesizer Museum MIDI Karaoke with Oscar Cash
video upload by Vintage Synthesizer Museum
"The Vintage Synthesizer Museum and Oscar Cash Present: The MIDI Jukebox.
On February 4th, from 1PM-4PM, we will transform VSM into a MIDI Karaoke bar. You pick the song, and we send the melodies to several synths and the drums to the TR-909. While the song plays you can twist knobs, change presets, or perform vocal duties with the assistance of the EMS Vocoder 2000. All this led by your handsome host, Oscar Cash. If you are interested in attending in person, please contact us to join our mailing list, so you can reserve a spot.
As always, you can also book a private appointment to play these classics yourself.

PPG Wave 2.2

"This rare PPG 2.2 is 8 bit resolution for a more "grainy" and "hairy" sound which many prefer over the higher resolution 2.3 model. For the age, this PPG has been very well cared for and is in amazing condition. A full inspection have been done by Mecanik Synthetik in Montreal including a general cleaning and some parts replacement.
PHYSICAL CONDITION : Excellent. The top, sides, and back have numerous small scratches and scuffs. The face plate is spotless and looks brand new.
In order to protect the PPG from future scratches, I have carefully applied a matte black vinyl on all 3 surfaces which make it look brand new. (Picture available on demand). This vinyl can be removed at the request of the buyer to deliver it in its original condition.
WORKING CONDITION : Excellent - All keys work perfectly. MIDI implementation is perfect, CV/TRIGGER In and Out are working well, the sequencer works, the filters go from a warm glow to a full scream, the sounds are rad, and this is an incredible specimen of this synthesizer. This synth works wonderfully.
• OS Version 8.3
• 8 bit resolution for a more "grainy" and "hairy" sound which many prefer over the higher resolution 2.3 model.
• Analog VCA envelope and VCF filter sections for a classic and warm sound
• The Wave 2.2 has oscillators that can generate over 2,000 different waveforms
• Recently upgraded the latest ROM chips compatible with this OS Version
• Factory installed MIDI in/out/thru"

70’s Vako Orchestron. Serial # 2174 - Model B

"70’s Vako Orchestron. Serial # 2174 - Model B
Selling for Mitchell Froom this is what he said:
'I bought this from one of the original designers, Ben Rizzi, around 1993. He kept it solely at his New Jersey studio, so it was in beautiful condition. I’ve used it on countless recordings since then, and have kept it exclusively at my home studio, so it’s in pristine cosmetic shape. It’s just been serviced, but of course it’s a fragile instrument, so I’d suggest local pickup. I understand that turning it on often is a good idea. Really a characterful sounding keyboard (largely because it runs optical discs). I first became aware of it through some of Kraftwork’s recordings. After I bought this, I took apart an older one I had, so it also comes with a box of spare parts. Comes with 5 optical discs - Pipe Organ, Sax, Vocal Choir (2), and Cello. The entire original set is available online.'”

Moog Minitmoog SN 2051

"As they say--Rare as hens teeth. The Minitmoog was made for about a year. A more useful Satellite. This one has been serviced and is ready to go to a new home. There are a few pictured nicks and dings but it is in very good condition. Being a vintage synth the buyer will assume all responsibilities of needing service after shipping."

The following is the description from the listing:
"After much soul searching, I've decided to sell my Original R.A. Moog Model D
MiniMoog. I remember getting in the car with my dad and driving up to
Trumansburg in the summer of 1970.My dad played a Hammond B3 and was so
intrigued with creating new sounds. We were going to meet Dr. Moog and possibly
buy something. After an amazing exhibition of the many synths on display, my dad
purchased this MiniMoog model D Serial #1003 The 3rd One Ever Made!
This beautiful MiniMoog has been well cared for its entire life. It has been played on many studio recordings, and used on a number of live performances as well. It has always been well maintained and serviced. Everything functions correctly and sounds great! The only issue is that the AC cord was damaged and had to be repaired. Also a tiny piece of wood chipped off many years ago, a purely cosmetic damage. These early MiniMoogs can be temperamental, so having a qualified technician to maintain it is very important.
There's not much more to say...If you're reading this you already know that these early MiniMoogs Model D's created some of the Fattest and Juiciest synth tones ever!! Countless artists play and record with them and they continue to be the most desirable synth ever made. You should also know that serial # 1001, and 1002 are in museums, so this Model D MiniMoog #1003 is the earliest production model in private hands. I'm open to offers, but please be realistic. I would love this to be picked up in person, and I'm willing to drive 100+ miles to deliver personally. The thought of handing it over to UPS/FedEx is scary, but that said I will ship it double boxed and "overpacked" to insure a safe arrival. This MiniMoog holds a special place in my heart, my hopes are for a new owner who will continue to play, love, and enjoy it as much as it has been for the past 50+ years"
