"This is a very rare silver Revolution rev2 limited to i think 9 made. Hand signed & numbered by the creator of Future Retro himself, Jered Flickinger & it was sold exclusively through Nova Musik at the time. Additionally, this specific one was previously owned by Chicago House DJ Derek Carter, a certificate of authenticity is included in the sale. As for the synth itself, the resonance, cutoff & volume pots are a little bit scratchy sounding & probably need a good contact cleaning at best or replacement at worst. Everything else functions perfectly..."

via this Reverb listing

"The Yamaha QX1 is one of the most advanced and rare digital sequencers from the early 1980s, designed for professional studio use.

It features eight independent MIDI tracks, precise timing, and an exceptionally stable clock, making it a benchmark in early MIDI sequencing. Even today, it is valued for its reliability and straightforward, hands-on workflow.

The unit has passed all standard system tests, including a fully functional floppy drive.

Very good cosmetic condition: one small dent on the front panel (see photos) and a few minor scratches.

The display glass and screen are perfect, as are the keyboard and keypad.

Internally clean, with capacitors in excellent condition and very limited use over time.

Includes two floppy disks as a bonus.

A rare, well-preserved, and fully working piece of gear."

Tre Modular - Replicant RM Demo


video upload by Tre Modular

"Replicant RM is a ring modulator based on the legendary Yamaha CS80. At its core is the same analog architecture that gave the CS-80 its character. We’ve built it around the MC1496 IC, a modern alternative to the original uA796 used in CS80.

Just like the original, Replicant RM includes its own dedicated VCO. It offers both sine and square waveforms. Sine delivers a clean, pure tone that defined the CS80’s ring mod sound. Square adds grit and harmonic complexity. The oscillator features two speed modes and a dedicated output.

We’ve also included a built-in Attack/Decay envelope generator, another key part of the CS-80’s ring mod section. It can be gated or looped, and has two speed modes for shaping everything from bell-like tones to rhythmic pulses. The envelope also features two speed modes and a dedicated output.

If you want That sound that`s part of what made CS80 legendary, now you can have it.

Soul Of the Machine: A Celebration of the Life & Legacy of ARP founder Alan R. Pearlman





via the Alan R Pearlman Foundation

Available on Bandcamp here

Press release follows:

Kingston, NY— In 2025, the Alan R. Pearlman Foundation celebrates the centennial of its namesake, the electronic visionary whose marvelous ARP synthesizers changed the landscape of music forever. As part of the ongoing celebrations, the Foundation is announcing the release of Soul Of The Machine, a 36-track musical celebration of the man and his creations as interpreted by a diverse range of recording artists.

Soul Of The Machine is a 36-track collection of tracks old and new, covering everything from innovative electronic, dance, and space music to jazz, funk, and Latin pop, all featuring the signature sounds of classic ARP instruments. The collection includes everything from ARP’s first synthesizer — the massively powerful ARP 2500 modular system — to the instruments that rewrote the rules on how electronics and music came together. The 2600, Odyssey, Pro Soloist, Omni, and many more ARP instruments sing, cry, scream, and soar, in the hands of musical talents both legends and newcomers.

Soul Of The Machine is a treasure trove of musical exploration. Martin Gore’s “KIno" combines Depeche Mode’s signature rhythmic power with a uniquely lyrical and sweet atmosphere. “Mr. No” is a celebration of the classic proto-techno sound of John Foxx. Award-winning soundtrack composer Mark Isham showcases his signature pulsating energy and evocative moodscapes in the mini-suite “Musings – in Two Parts”. Lisa Bella Donna takes listeners on a journey into timeless wonder in the epic “Conclusions.” JG Thirlwell’s “Sphere” is a synth freakout ricocheting between ominous sci-fi atmospheres and searing beats. Panic Girl offers "Drifting Whispers," a somber and uplifting neo-retro journey into a past that never was.

Other artists on the collection include Michael Brückner, Phil Cirocco, Rupert Greenall, LaMar "Kronick" Mitchell, Jeff Rona, Drew Schlesinger & David Torn, Don Slepian, and many others, as well as tracks by the collection's curators Steve Roach and Chris Meyer of Alias Zone.

Famed ambient / electronic pioneer and ARP user since 1978, Steve Roach shares his thoughts on Soul Of The Machine: "In 2024 I had the honor of meeting Dina Pearlman-Ifil — the director of the Alan R Pearlman Foundation — in person. Over the course of several phone conversations we discussed ways to celebrate the centennial year of her father's life and his place in history. My idea for a compilation of music using her father’s creations grew out of those conversations, presenting a perfect way to directly experience the vast range of music that was birthed by the family of ARP synthesizers. This compilation is just a small taste of the universe Alan inspired in sound explorers and artists across a vast range of genres."

Steve mapped out the music so that CD 1 represents a sonic journey and CD 2 provides a showcase of the depth and breadth of what ARP synths can do. After both CDs were finalized, there were more tracks than room on the CDs. These additional songs are available as a bonus digital supplement to the physical CD set.

Says Dina Pearlman-Ifil: “I have long-dreamed of a multi-genre collection that would illustrate the depth and breadth of the possibilities of my father's instruments. This collection is the embodiment of what my father treasured most: The creative spirit. As the old ARP tagline used to say: ‘The most creative part of an ARP Synthesizer is you.’”

The Alan R. Pearlman Foundation is dedicated to the empowerment of young and burgeoning artists into the future. When we look at classical instruments born hundreds of years ago, we see that Alan Pearlman's synthesizers stand tall, earning their place in the evolution of musical history. Acoustic or electric, their common ground is the enduring inspiration for creativity and sonic innovation that inspires the hearts and minds of musicians, performers, and sound explorers worldwide.

Soul Of The Machine will be available for streaming on October 17, 2025. The special limited edition CD will be available for purchase in early-to-mid-November.

Proceeds go the Alan R. Pearlman Foundation

The Alan R. Pearlman Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.
Our mission is to celebrate the legacy of inventor, musician, entrepreneur and engineer Alan R. Pearlman, by making his innovative inventions publicly accessible, and by inspiring future generations to imagine and create.
