"EMS unit with many features like double oscillator, pitch shifter, levels on every bands...etc... great sounds"

Update: Looks more like a Synton Syntovox 221 as seen in previous posts including demos, but note the different layout. I don't beleive I've seen this particular model before. If anyone knows what this is feel free to leave a comment.

Update 2 via the comments:

"I am assured by EMS that this is NOT an EMS build. After I complained to reverb the seller changed the description and calls it a "custom projekt". It is built around an EMS 2000, so good luck if it ever needs a service or repair. The seller still has it branded as EMS even though it is a codged together unit and NOT EMS. You can't put a Ferrari engine in a ford and sell it as a Ferrari, can you?"

And via the listing:

"this a rare opportunity to obtain a classic EMS sounds

and add many features like double oscillator, pitch shifter, levels on every bands... more a classic pin matrix.... this is a custom projekt based around an original EMS 2000 vocoder pcb board"

Note the custom faceplate. The original EMS 2000 is completely different. You can find some pics in additional posts mentioning the EMS 2000 Vocoder here.

Davoli Davolisint

You can find a demo of one posted here.

"Dent on the top and some external wear as shown in photos. Very rare and interesting synth. Sorry to let it go but I got bills yo

The Davolisint is a 2 VCO monophonic analog synthesizer with a 3-octave, 37-note (C-C) keyboard, with the bottom octave, colored dark grey, doubling as controller keys. It features a coarse tune slider effecting both oscillators and a fine tune slider for Oscillator 2. Both Oscillators are also controlled by 7 octave switches (32', 16', 8', 4', 2', 1', 1/2') which are very similar to an organ, both in look and function. Any or all switches can be engaged simultaneously. LFO is fixed at a triangle/sine wave and has sliders for frequency and depth. Pitch bend is controlled by a lever labeled "extend". What's strange about this synth is that there is no control over the VCF or the envelope generator, however, there is portamento. The switches can also be accessed by the grey-colored lower octave of the keyboard. Every function is controlled by a different key.

Curiously, there is a 5-pin socket for a pedal on the back. It is unknown what this is for. Also interesting to note, it seems to have been marketed, at least in part, by MXR, whose label is badged on the top."

Very unique one of a kind build! 61 note fatar keybed!"

Simesky+Fritch - Such Imperfection

7" Radio Edit - Glorified Lyric Video video upload by Alex Simesky

A new track from supporting member Alex Simesky who had the following to say about the release:

"The genesis of Such Imperfection comes from a demo tape that I did a few years ago. At the time I had eliminated the computer from the studio to get back to my roots - recording synth demos on cassette tapes. The original groove was recorded with Roland TR-505, MS-20 and electric guitars. This idea was then expanded using some of Arturia's V Collection synths like the SEM V (bass), CZ V (pads) and Emulator II V (drums and bass). A once in a lifetime encounter with Fritch lead to the finished track, for which he came up with the lyrics and the vox."

And the description with links from the video:

"A future retro love-letter to gloss-polished pop, neon nu-wave and cool indie.

As the decades collide from The Cure, Peter Gabriel and Brian Eno to Tears for Fears, Royksopp and Robyn, every sweetly honed sonic shines sultry. And in extending that love letter to the best lost tradition of A-side and B-side 80’s vinyl, the 7” edit arrives with a full 12” mix that weaves synthwave with prog-glam and grandeur. This is lo-fi turned hi-fi and glistening.

Living in Belgium, United Simesky Institutes has worked with Budapest Scoring Orchestra and scored high with releases of sweet 80’s synthwave amongst the ranks of Vice & We Write About Music. Fritch comes from Wales, and comes fresh from an album that gained 5-star comparisons to Bowie’s Blackstar and Scott Walker. This is music that moves across boundaries, this is UK and Belgium combined.

But right here a new cult is created. Right here is a new sound entirely.

With shared production, shared writing, shared artwork, shared visions, the debut single from Simesky+Fritch is a celebration of a meeting of minds. It’s a lean synth-kissed passion for pop.
