Mediamix Joystick Controller for Vintage Moog, ARP & Oberheim Synths

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this eBay listing

"Made in the late 70's, this company Mediamix made these awesome joystick controllers that could be interfaced with Moogs, ARPs and Oberheim synthesizers. This one had been used with an Oberheim TVS-1 Two Voice Synthesizer. The controller is in excellent physical condition, but is untested and sold as-is. Obviously from the circular connector, it would take some modifications to the synthesizer to interface this, it's not plug and play."

You can see one installed in this Oberheim Four Voice FVS-1.

"I've been poking at this small modular system, trying to find unusual combinations of rhythms mixed with randomized melody lines. I found a pretty good balance, and recorded this. There's a handmade quality to it, as all three sequencers are started by hand, and the volca beats is a little bit different in its timing than the FH2s."
