The classic string machine. This one is a Hohner but it's identical to the more common Logan String Melody 2. This has had various modifications carried to it by Tony at OakleySound. There is a new dedicated output volume control on the front panel, as well as a vibrato modulation depth control. The latter alters the amount that the 6Hz modulation LFO affects the triple BBD circuitry, So you can change from a simple chorale effect, through to the classic Logan ensemble sound, all the way to a very obvious detuned effect. The power supply has been rebuilt and a vent added to reduce the internal temperature. A standard IEC power inlet has been added to the rear panel. Other mods have been done to reduce the amount of hiss. The unit comes with the rare original top cover. Cosmetically, the unit is in fair condition, It's very clean but there are some scuffs to the outer covering, and various dings in the original veneer. The eight level sliders crackle slightly when moved, and the sliders are rather stiff. All features work as they should. A superb sound.

"A really lovely old synth, with character you don't get with anything more modern. What you do get is a large chunk of the Korg PS-3x00 series at a tiny fraction of the price. Cosmetically it shows signs of its 40 to 45 years' life, with three of the undersides of the keys having chips out of them, and the back and sides of the wooden case looking tatty in places. But when you're playing it, it looks and feels great - any little marks on the top panel could probably be polished out by someone who knew what they were doing. Working wise it's fantastic. One tiny issue is that the Ensemble button doesn't make an audible/tactile 'click' like the Percussive switch does. But it works fine, and all controls work well and all voices sound great. They seriously don't make synths like this any more. UK voltage with a UK plug - easily changed for Europe or Australia etc.. Packing at VEMIA 24GBP."

"Incredible wavetable synth. Even the Quantum can not sound like this. All the encoders were changed before I bought the synth. The original encoders were bad quality and they all needed an upgrade. The previous owner put little red pieces of felt on the filter cutoff and wavetable knobs..."

"8 voices inspired from the classic Moog The Source, but eight times more powerful. Has an onboard chorus (The Triko) & digital FX. Very lush sound."
