"Fully polyphonic 48 key analog string synth. Classic 70's string/ensemble synth sounds. Amazingly thick, and warm sounding- sounds huge and dreamy. Used by Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Hawkwind.

Works great. Voice selection buttons/switch contacts recently cleaned, and working well. Built in case has new latches installed.

Treble eq control is very scratchy, but works once set. Some of the other pots may be slightly scratchy, but all work. Light on power button does not light up- power switch is functional- unit powers on/off, but light doesn't work. Scratches/nicks on top (top is great for stacking other gear on).

I've had the pleasure of owning this beast for 20 years- it's gotten a good amount of use, but has been well taken care of, and rarely taken out of the house.

Stacks 3 oscillators per key/voice in octaves- you can also turn two of the oscillators on or off to use two or one oscillator per key/voice. Can also detune two of the oscillators separately to create a thicker, layered sound. Buttons/switches for selecting sounds can be simultaneously pressed to stack sounds. Built in phazer sounds excellent."

"Vaguely reminiscent of the Fair Warning track from 1981, here's a quick demo of the Electro-Harmonix Mini Synthesizer. Running off batteries and running through an Echoplex and a touch of MXR stereo chorus. Huge sound from a tiny synth!"

"Watch the video demo to hear this synth in use!

Incredibly cool and incredibly rare little monosynth. 100% working, even the membrane keyboard is fine on all keys when pressed firmly. Sounds amazing! Shows cosmetic wear as pictured. Original cardboard bottom and paperwork are all present. Batteries will be removed before shipping."

TipTop Polyphonic Modular + ASM Hydrasynth : "Entangled State" by gattobus


video upload by gattobus

"This track came out of the blue while I was playing and experimenting with TipTop Audio Poly Modular System and my ASM Hydrasynth.

This patch sounds organic and deep, a perfect blend between analog and digital!

I loaded a custom wavetable on TTA Vortex 6 then I set up a classic signal path going through the poly filter (TTA Octopass) and the poly vca (TTA Octogain). Then I added some external modulations coming from Hydrasynth CV outs, which turned out to be the best keyboard controller for this incredible system!

Star of the show is TTA Resonator that adds a very organic and ethereal texture to the entire patch!

These are the modules in my system:

Vortex 6 Oscillator
ATX-1 VCO
Octopass Poly Filter
Octostages Poly Envelope x2
Octogain VCA
Octopus USB/MIDI interface
Octo I/O
Octovert
Resonator
Z-DSP 'ZVRB 80' Card.
