Pics of the inside below.

"Just serviced by the very talented Vintage Standards in Japan October 2025. In my opinion top 3 techs in the world. PSU replaced, every pot disassembled cleaned and re lubricated, crucial caps replaced, tropical fish caps still in perfect condition, brand new Tauntek CPU board installed to keep it reliable for much longer than the original and expanding its memory to 64, uses through hole and modern components for longevity and serviceability. Crucial trimmers replaced to keep tuning and voltage stable. Keyboard cleaned and bushings replaced. Literally everything you need to do to these to keep them going for another 50 years reliably. This is the early SEM version that uses the same discrete VCA as the SEM instead of the chip based version most of them have which is more like the OB-X, love the way these SEM envelopes react. Sound is incredible and it's so awesome having instant preset recall on a SEM and a great interface to control it. These will only go up in value and im only selling because I recently obtained an TVS and its a bit over kill to have both (although awesome having a 3 voice). Selling at a loss already so please be considerate if making an offer."

Synthesizing with Moog | Lesson 5: Modulation


video upload by Moog Music

"Composer Morton Subotnick once said that the sonic palette of a synthesizer is determined not by the number of components it contains but the ways in which they can modulate each other. Modulation allows us to take static sounds and add movement to them – to create expressive motion like vibrato and tremolo, or to create new and novel textures. In this lesson we explore the basics of modulation, using Low Frequency Oscillators (LFOs) and envelopes to modulate pitch, timbre, and amplitude, and harnessing the power of randomness to add unpredictable elements to our sounds.

Written, hosted, filmed, and produced by our team of electronic musical instrument experts, this new seven-part educational video series makes learning the fundamentals of synthesis accessible, engaging, and inspiring for anyone curious about science, music, and how the two worlds converge. We set out to create a series that brings you as much technical knowledge as it does entertainment and joy as you watch each episode!

We invite you to follow along with us at home with a printable worksheet corresponding to the contents of each weekly episode. https://inmusic.to/bdhnff3m

Korg Triton Extreme VST Plugin (Korg Collection 6) - No talking demo


video upload by ADL-MusicLab

"Hi, everyone!

The original Korg Triton first appeared in 1999 and then the TRITON Extreme appeared in 2004 as the most powerful model in the series, featuring the first-ever "Valve Force" vacuum tubes in a music workstation, and most of the new PCM and EXB-PCM series waveforms.

This plug-in faithfully reproduces the HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis system down to the smallest details and contains every one of the vast number of preset programs.

You can have again the sound that defined an era, with a very faithful software emulation that can bring this classic synthesizer "back to the future". This software really replicates the Korg Triton Extreme down to the last details and in this "No talking demo" I just mess around with some beautiful presets.

Grab it! You won't be disappointed.

SOME SPECS:
◉ Combination mode allowing for up to eight of multi-timbral parts to be played simultaneously ;
◉ Over 4,000 ready-to-go sound programs;
◉ Includes all of the expansion library EXB-PCM cards;
◉ Five insert effects and and two master effects, plus a master EQ;
◉ Complete reproduction of TRITON’s HI (Hyper Integrated) synthesis system;
◉ Full of ready-to-go phrases with 307 dual arpeggiator patterns;
◉ Supervised by original TRITON developers;
◉ Over 4,000 ready-to-go sound programs;
◉ and much more..."

"Wiard BR-1209B passive joystick XY CV control and gate mounted in case with on/off switch.

Includes 7.5 volt PSU and delivers 0-4.56 volts (unipolar) in two directions. Has gate button jumping from 1 volt to 5.6 volts- see pics

This is passive so you can simply plug in a PSU with higher voltage to get stronger output."

Bastl Bitranger With Synapse 4x4 Matrix Keypad / A Rare Combo

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


via this eBay listing

"One Bitranger with Synapse matrix keypad, original manual and 12 DuPont pin patch cables

Excellent condition, does not include battery or PSU

The bitRanger is a patchable analog logic computer that sculpts sonic worlds ranging from data noise to melodic arpeggios. While being a handheld standalone synth, it is also right at home in the music studio. Extensive connectivity makes it so flexible that it can connect to almost anything: CV control its unique sound, sync it with drum machines and sequencers or use it as an algorithmic CV / GATE pattern generator.

Go nuts! Bit nuts!

The patchbay of the bitRanger is a place for exploration where you can simply connect outputs to inputs to see what happens. This can be done methodically or with complete experimental abandon. Go nuts! Battery Power and a built-in speaker make the bitRanger totally portable. Tweak it’s 4 knobs, 8 switches, and more than 100 patch points in the woods, on the beach, on a train, and in the studio.

Features

LFO clock oscillator for rhythmical modulation

VCO oscillator is synced to the HFO oscillator

4 modes of operation selectable by 2 switches

built-in speaker with volume control

On /Off switch

expansion connector

package includes 3 photo resistors – make your oscillators respond to light by plugging these into the Bend socket
