'I replaced all the din connectors and also replaced one of the exponential converter of the VCO 1 with the excellent PA726 as it had pitch stability issues. It has no influence on the actual sound vs the original. Just the pitch tracking is improved."

GLEEMAN PENTAPHONIC + TASCAM 38 DEMO
video upload by Synth Tailor Electronics
"Here's another Gleeman Pentaphonic that was restored by the shop. We decided to kill two birds and put in another repair item, the Tascam 38 Reel to Reel 1/2" 8 Track Tape Machine. The audio output is recorded directly to tape. (Tascam 38 is for adam remnant, check out his music/Instagram @adamremnant)
There are only around 50 units ever manufactured by the Gleeman Brothers Al and Bob. Such a truly amazing sounding 5 voice polyphonic synthesizer. This five voice polyphonic synthesizer sounds very large in such a small package and is a hybrid of both analog/digital. Featuring a 300 note Polyphonic Sequencer, "Presetter" preset control switches, X+Y Joystick Pitch and Mod controller, and 100 programmable presets.
Visit my website or email for repairs and restorations for vintage synthesizers, drum machines, outboard gear, and tape machines."
Arrival of the Messenger | Moog Music
video upload by Moog Music
"A new mode of communication has arrived.
A carrier of universal language, a catalyst for human connection, a machine for deeper meaning.
This device translates ideas into actuality. It exists in a space where experimentation meets expression, where the sights and sounds of the natural world intersect with notions of the cosmic beyond.
It speaks without saying a word, as hidden messages weave into waveforms.
To understand these messages, we must listen and observe. In this moment, we’re all unified by a shared experience. It’s something between discovering and witnessing…

Keep on listening. We’ll have more to share with you soon.
