See if you can spot the Matrix-6 screen. I think that was accident. Capturing it for posterity. :)

"A towering icon of analog synthesis! Nicely restored, beautifully preserved, and built to tour or record for another lifetime.

This Oberheim Matrix-12 is in very good condition, has been restored by Rosensound, with some recent restorations performed by synth legend and former Oberheim engineer Marcus Ryle. It comes in a new, custom-built, heavy-duty flight case. It’s a US version, upgraded with a new control panel overlay from Sweet Discrete (UK) for a clean, sharp aesthetic. Everything functions beautifully; a truly top-shelf example of one of the most powerful analog polysynths ever built.

Cosmetic notes: the Sweet Discrete panel overlay LED registration is a bit off in a few places, so some LEDs look slightly off center (as shown in an included close-up image). Performance is not affected. The new overlay generally looks beautiful, but not strictly 10/10. There is also some stubborn tape residue on a few of the keys which can also be seen in the photos.

Details:

12 voices, each with 2 analog oscillators, multimode filter, and extensive routing
Legendary 96-point modulation matrix; no menus, just raw power
Velocity and pressure sensitivity, 5-stage envelopes, and complex LFOs
Massive analog presence with surgical control
US voltage model (no step-down needed)
New road-ready flight case included, $600+ value
Restored by Rosensound and Marcus Ryle, two of the most trusted names in analog synth servicing
New Sweet Discrete panel overlay from the UK; clean, legible, and sharp
Used by Hans Zimmer, Keith Emerson, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, and countless electronic pioneers, the Matrix-12 is the pinnacle of analog polyphonic design; often called “the last great analog monster.”

"An exceptional example of one of the most advanced analog synthesizers of its era. The Rhodes Chroma — originally developed by ARP and finished under the Rhodes brand — delivers 16 analog voices with velocity sensitivity, deep modulation architecture, and dynamic expressiveness years ahead of its time.

This unit is in excellent condition and includes key upgrades: a MIDI retrofit, the Sterooping programmer for hands-on control, and a rugged, custom-built, almost-new ATA flight case for transport and storage. The Chroma has been tested and is performing as expected.

Key Features:

16 analog voices with single or dual oscillator assignability
Velocity-sensitive weighted keyboard
Extensive modulation options with assignable routings
Unique filter architecture with variable state filters
Includes the Sterooping programmer for tactile, real-time control
MIDI upgrade installed for modern integration
ATA-rated flight case included
Condition Notes:

Excellent overall condition
Tested and working as expected
Flight case shows typical wear but protects the unit well
One of the rarest and most collectible instruments of the early digital/analog crossover era, the Chroma has been used by artists such as Joe Zawinul, Herbie Hancock, and Eddie Jobson. With these modern upgrades, it remains a powerful and expressive studio centerpiece.

30% of proceeds support the Bob Moog Foundation, preserving and celebrating the legacy of electronic music."

Vactrol phaser filterboard [prototype] for gotharman's instrument


video upload by Meska (Meska)

"DISCLAMER : i have no affiliation with gotharman's instrument , just a third party builder

Quick sound demo of the Vactrol phaser filterboard, compatible with Gotharman's instrument, im working on. Still have some small things to do on the next proto, like rewire the Qbend switch.
If you have any question or sugestion feel free to ask.



Thank you for watching.

AD ENVELOPE + VCA WITH A BITE | ADDAC System - ADDAC816 Percussion VCA


video upload by DANIELE

"The ADDAC816 Percussion VCA by ADDAC System is a voltage controlled amplifier featuring an integrated AD envelope with a fast attack and adjustable decay, perfect for creating precise and dynamic percussive sounds!"

0:00 Intro
0:24 Envelope gain
1:08 Decay knob and time switch
2:05 Envelope input behavior
2:33 VCA input
2:46 Patch 1
4:02 Patch 2
5:05 Patch 3



"While deep in its soul there’s a standard VCA with exponential response that can be used as such, in its heart pulses an AD envelope with a sharp attack and a variable decay internally connected to the VCA control input. When it opens its mouth it can whisper in your ear but don’t let this soft demeanor fool you, if driven to the extreme it will show its teeth and gnarly bite and chew on your cochleas with all its might.

The AD envelope has a fixed short Attack, just enough to avoid the typical “click” that happens when using a Gate signal to control a VCA, while the envelope Decay can be controlled via its knob or voltage controlled using the CV input and attenuverter.

We named it Percussion VCA as most percussion intruments have sharp attacks with variable decays just as its AD Envelope however it can be used for any purpose where a VCA is needed including for CV signals due to it’s DC coupled signal path.

Furthermore it also allows to be driven from a simple Gate signal while controlling its decay. This way it’s easy to plug a noise source, vco or any audio and turn that source into a percussive element."
