'A comfy time machine' - DAWless track with Circuit Tracks and JX-08
video upload by Peter makes tunes
"Hello!
This track is my first track where I use my new Roland Boutique JX-08!
I have chosen it as my first tabletop synth (after Circuit Tracks) because of the following features:
- Simplicity of subtractive synthesis;
- Synthesizer part features (2 ADSR Envelopes, LFO, noise oscillators);
- Multitimbrality;
- Rich choice of effects (Delays, Reverb, Choruses, EQ, etc.);
- USB Power (sorry, Korg!)
Novation Circuit Tracks: Sequencing, Bass, Leads, Drums
Roland JX-08: harmony (chords), Second Lead
Recorded on Tascam DR-05X, then mastered (EQ, Compressor) in Audacity.

"This Syntorchestra was in really bad condition, but luckily it could be revived. It still needs some work, but I´m already loving the sound (As a huge krautrock fan, I really can´t help it) The polysection oscillator was completely dead, luckily I found a working substitute here: http://www.flatkeys.co.uk/
Also a huge shout-out to Verde for helping me in repairs: https://www.verdeaudio.com/"

Pics of the inside below.
"Had it serviced earlier this year, my excellent tech replaced the battery with a housing that allows for future battery changes without soldering and did some major cleanup, recapping and pot replacements where they was needed. All in all he did about $2000 in repairs. No midi but will include Doepfer din/sync box and cables. Works absolutely beautifully, and in unconfirmed rumors I was told by the person I bought it from in 2012 that it once belonged to John Taylor. Has patch expansion built into it and all original presets in bank b."

I feel the expander makes this instrument Shine.. the ring modulation is essential and should have been in the base model … together this synth is huge..
just a beautiful tone meeews broad rich sweeping textures .. instant cinematic soundscape.. paired with an MPE controller its just hair raising and dramatic..
there is a small scratch on top of both of these from installing into rack (shown in pics just full disclosure)
Babied never gigged just smoke free studio"

TINRS Synton Fenix IV Modular Synth

"The unit sounds amazing and has extraordinary capabilities to match. There are some small cosmetic blemishes above the low pass gate, filter, and noise module sections (can't always be seen except in certain light) as well as the barrel edge of the headphone jack, so I took extra close ups of these areas for your inspection. These are cosmetic only, functionality is 100%! The unit comes with the optional bamboo stands, double count pack of TiNRS custom cables, soft carry case, pin, cable ties, power supply, manual, and 19" rack rails.
A couple features that stood out to me on this unit, besides its pleasing warm sound, are the digital system behind the scenes that allow for highly programmable midi to CV conversion for associated jacks as well as system synchronized triggering, at divisions or multiplications of the system clock, including customizable time signatures for easy made polyrhythms. Also, behind the scenes, there are 3 separate quantizers - one for the digital osc, one for digital filter, and one for the sequencer. And they're as easy to use as just selecting which keys in an octave you want enabled individually for each one. This really allows one to use its extensive modulation capabilities to affect those modules in ways the user can shape to be very melodically pleasing, if desired. And speaking of modulation, the wobbler lfo has many exotic shapes and behaviors, and offers two outputs of itself, one of which has cv controllable phase shift from the other. And finally, the triple lfo was also a favorite due to having two phase cv able copies of itself for shifting synced modulations."

Paia Custom Analog Synthesizer 1972
via this auction
"Here we have a one of a kind custom PAiA built into an old suitcase built By Steve Alcorn the vice president of engineering at Linn, the synth is an expanded 2700. It inludes original 1/4" patch cables, suitcase has a key and there is another key to power the synth on. Comes with every pamphlet for each module used. Steve also signed the outside of the suitcase.Steve pre-wired it up like an Arp Odyssey It is still completely custom-patchable as well. Modules include:
Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (3)
Voltage-Controlled Amplifier (2)
Voltage-Controlled Bandpass Filter
Voltage Controlled Low Pass Filter
Envelope Generator
Control Oscillator / Noise Choice
Power Supply
Glide Retro Fit
Envelope Follower / Trigger
Sine Converter / Pulse Width Modulator
Balanced Modulator
Envelope Generator
In addition, all the original manuals are included for the above modules, plus a few other of PAIA's products.
The unit is designed to be easily ported to gigs, where in a few seconds the keyboard can be lifted out of the case cover and the case cover detached, giving you a Moog-like setup. It was a fun performance instrument. I remember generating the crashing waves for Riders on the Storm during a gig in 1973!
This unit has not been powered since the late 70s. Prudence would suggest a thorough inspection of all the electrolytic capacitors, for starters. But this would be a dream project for an electronics tinkerer, and gives you a very large collection of very rare PAIA circuits as your starting place."
