"In excellent condition; everything works as it should! Hard to find in this shape.

The K5000S is a cult favorite from the mid-’90s, known for its powerful additive synthesis engine, warm pads, metallic textures, and full onboard sequencer. This is the “S” model, the more desirable model (compared to the K5000W) with extra knob-per-function interface for direct synth parameter access.

Highlights:

6-operator additive synthesis with deep harmonic control
16-part multitimbrality
32-track sequencer
Onboard effects including reverb, delay, and chorus
Responsive keybed with aftertouch
Backlit LCD and large panel for deep editing
A hidden gem in digital synthesis, the K5000 has been praised by artists like Jean-Michel Jarre and Björk’s producers for its haunting, otherworldly tones and expressive architecture.

30% of the sale supports the Bob Moog Foundation, helping preserve the history of electronic music and inspire new generations of creators."

Additional SYNTH CITY Listings "1970s Roland CR-68 CompuRhytmn drum machine.

The CR-68 has the same sound set and rhythm patterns, but is not programmable and lacks many of the better features found on a CR-78. However the CR-68 does have breaks & fills, an accent that really livens up its beats, and a balance knob that can be used to weird-out the sounds a little bit. A much cheaper alternative to the CR-78 considering it is strictly limited to its preset patterns.

Tested in great working condition, ready for immediate studio use."

Oberheim Xpander 6-Voice Synthesizer SN 770244

"We are delighted to present this Oberheim Xpander, a superb example of one of the most sophisticated analogue polysynths ever created.

Designed by Tom Oberheim’s team during the golden era of American analogue innovation, the Xpander represents the pinnacle of Oberheim engineering — a true hybrid masterpiece that marries the lush, organic depth of analogue oscillators with one of the most flexible modulation architectures ever implemented in a MIDI-equipped synthesizer.

Released in 1984, the Xpander was a technological tour de force, featuring six discrete voices, each effectively a complete monosynth, coupled to an extensive modulation matrix and multi-mode filters. Its sound palette remains legendary — capable of producing rich, evolving textures, weighty basses, and intricate soundscapes that continue to inspire composers, producers, and collectors alike."
