"**** PRICED TO SELL!**** Original EMS Synthi oscillator board housed in a custom 63hp eurorack panel by Hinton Instruments. It has a few of the modifications Hinton carries out on synthi's such as shape c/v input, hi/lo range switch, variable sync with sync source switch. As far as I'm aware Graham has only done a couple of these. I'm the second owner. It has some rackrash marks from the previous owner. The module needs a strong stable power supply. I have used it with a Doepfer power supply for years and the module operates properly. But the module did not operate in a stable manner with Intellijel or 4ms power supplies. It also comes with a mint condition Klavis CalTrans eurorack module (boxed) which I have used in order to get a stable and wider pitch range. After shipment the buyer may need to calibrate the vco tuning. The oscillator board comes with its eurorack power cable. When the panel is not mounted in a case there is a very slight bend in the module front panel. When the module is mounted in a case the slight bend is not visible. 63hp."

"This is the second and sadly last Putney / DK.1 combo to come to VEMIA from Cardiff University Electronic Music Studio - one of the first and biggest electronic music studios in the world, with six VCS3s and then a Synthi 100. Another of the VCS3s from the studio is the featured instrument in the Wikipedia article https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/02/EMS_VCS_3.jpg - note the exact same type of security tag and engraving (E M Studio). The Wikipedia one is s/n 143. This Putney / VCS3 is s/n 377. The DK.1 is s/n 2090. Cosmetic condition is very good for things that are over 50 years old. There is considerable wear to the top panel silk-screening, and a few minor marks in the woodwork, but otherwise everything is lovely. The silk-screening around the matrix is in excellent condition - much better than average - and the matrix itself is very good. As well as looking great, they are in perfect working order, thoroughly serviced in September 2024 by EMS expert Lucid. The servicing includes replacement of all noisy pots and a correct set of matrix pins, all proper spec and sourced from Robin Wood at EMS. (Total invoice just under £1K). The extra switch on the DK.1 reverses the dynamic voltage from the keyboard - perhaps in response to Carlos' criticism about the voltage as originally designed being negative. Lucid suspects this is an original EMS mod (and is identical to the other Cardiff Uni model we auctioned in April). **Now with one of Robin Wood's excellent padded covers for the VCS3 - money very well spent indeed. ** Packing at VEMIA: 30GBP."
"Too big for live performances, it finally serves me in the studio for a strange and very personal project:
De Secretis naturae.
It's a series of tracks built only using this synthesizer and a few other tools, all homemade.
The goal is to recreate natural environments, using the synthetic sounds produced with my machines.
A kind of fake field recording.
The last chapter, of the 2 tracks, has just been released:
That's it, this musical release was an opportunity to present this old pre-LE modular…

"Just a small video to show the process of making the album cover:
linocut.
Why talk about it on a eurorack manufacturer's channel ?
Well, just for fun
And because LARIX ELEKTRO is a 'one mane' company and it's boring to split all my projects into too much channels/pseudo, etc...
Maybe it's interesting to know what this guy is doing behind LE ?"
"Teenage Engineering OP-Z is discontinued and is no more. Shame because this is one of the most genius and brilliant musical devices I have ever played. Here is my tribute utilizing all the powerful features of the OPZ, step components, effects, samples, synth engines, punch-in effects, tape track and master track."
"Here is an extremely rare and very clean EDP WASP vintage synthesizer original from 1978 with Kenton midi Kadi external interface (NO mods inside) It has been carefully serviced and ready to play at maximum level. AWESOME and unique filter! Hard to find vintage especially it these amazing conditions. Included the Kenton manual, kadi to Wasp din cable and 2x psu adaptors (220/240 volts)"
