"Ultra-rare and unobtainable French Monophonic synthesizer with chromatic keyboard (according to very rare figures, 25), the others having been produced with accordion keyboard (according to rare figures, 75 produced). The figures are uncertain, and testify to the rarity of the object.
Depech Mode owns one and uses it in the Delta Machine EPK.
The synth has been tested and verified by Vintage Synth Repair in Paris and is in excellent condition.
The synth is integrated with its fly-case, it's not an addition, it's designed that way.
The memory has 64 locations which, once saved, become static."
"Both units are in excellent shape and fully operational.
Minor amounts of scuffs, scratches, & rack rash considering the age of these units—mostly on the upper body area of both. There is also a small inconsequential dent on the top of the S612 ( which I saw for the first time in 25 years when I took these out of the rack for repair ). Face plates/fronts are in fantastic shape. Power cables are like new.
Pro Audio Serviced in June 2023.
For the S612: All connectors, headers, controls, jacks, and switches have been cleaned and reset.
For the MD280: Replaced internal drive belt, cleaned drive heads, cleaned and reset connectors/headers."
"Sequential Circuits Prophet VS synth with three carts, original manual, midi and power cable. The VS spent the majority of it's life in a major LA studio and is in very good condition. Very well kept and serviced by the studio tech. I include free shipping and the VS is very heavy making a large package and is expected to be between $200 & $300 which is included in the price."
"In this video, we explore ~10 minutes of ethereal textures of the Oberheim OB-X8, combined with two of Strymon's greatest FX pedals: the Big Sky (reverb) and the Time Line (delay).
All of the these presets are from the 'J3PO Oberheim OB-X8 Presets: Future Vintage,' available from www.j3po.net. Of course, the presets themselves do not contain any FX, and you can hear them dry in this video: [posted here]
I have preset libraries available for the Oberheim OB-X8, Prophet 6, Prophet 5/10, Prophet Rev 2, OB-6, Spectrasonic's Omnisphere, Arturia OP-Xa, Softube's Model 72 & 84, XLN's Addictive Keys Mark One and a free bank of 50 sounds for the free VST synth “OB-Xd” — all available on my website. If you're a Nord Stage 3 or Wave 2 user, download my bank from the Nord Keyboards website."
"This month we're happy to host the musical talents of Marc Barreca and Balance.Spring for our monthly Showroom Sessions.
As always, Showroom Sessions are a great chance to enjoy live music from our incredibly talented community and link up with friends old and new in a casual environment, connecting over a shared love of electronic music and all its devices.
Balance.Spring is the performance project of Seattle-based Brian Krall. Growing up on the iconic Casio SK-1, Brian has always been intrigued by the art of sound design and experimentation. In 2016 Brian started Balance.Spring, with an emphasis on live improvised hardware performance and experimentation. Brian is fascinated and motivated by finding where the path of technology and engineering cross with music and sound design. Brian is currently studying for a Master of Music Technology with a Game Audio Technology emphasis, where his capstone project is focused on spatial audio and developing an immersive sound and music experience in VR.

"In this video I'm taking you along while I explore the EMS Synthi A. What a beautiful synthesizer this is, both visually and sonically 😍 I still have to get used to the matrix patching, but I'm getting there slowly but steady. Expect more explorations coming your way soon!
