"A bold and powerful digital instrument, the Waldorf Q is a 16-voice (expandable to 32) analog modeling synthesizer that pairs expressive performance features with deep modulation capabilities. This is the iconic yellow version, famously distinctive in both sound and appearance, and a true statement piece in any synth setup.

This unit is in excellent condition, with bright, clean paint and fully functioning controls. Its high-resolution oscillators, multimode filters, and modulation matrix make it an incredibly capable and dynamic synth for studio or stage.

Key Features:

16-voice (expandable) virtual analog synthesis

3 oscillators per voice with FM, ring mod, and wavetable options

Dual multimode filters with various slope types

61-key keyboard with velocity and aftertouch

4 LFOs, modulation matrix, and onboard effects

Arpeggiator, step sequencer, and deep MIDI control

Bright yellow chassis, instantly recognizable

Condition Notes:

Excellent functional and cosmetic condition

Paint’s nature gives it a somewhat dusty texture (shown in closeups)

Knobs and buttons responsive and intact

Praised for its unique tone shaping and massive modulation options, the Q has been used by artists including Tangerine Dream, BT, and Depeche Mode. It's a modern classic that delivers digital precision with analog-style warmth, depth, and hands-on control.

"The Yamaha SS30 is a vintage analog string synthesizer from the late 1970s, delivering lush ensemble textures and dual-channel stereo voicing in a uniquely expressive and musical package. Unlike some string synths of its time, the SS30 features two complete sound generators (one per stereo channel), offering rich chorusing and beautifully animated stereo depth.

This unit is in very good condition with some surface nicks in the chassis (shown in images), fully functional, and includes the original Yamaha-branded hard case. This unit is 100V (Japanese voltage) but a step-up power transformer is included for use with US voltage.

Key Features:

Dual-channel analog string synth architecture
Two separate signal paths for stereo ensemble effect
Voice presets: Violin, Viola, Cello, and Contrabass with mix controls
Slow/Fast chorus and Sustain modes
49-key keyboard with full polyphony
Original Yamaha case included
Condition Notes:

Clean exterior with minimal cosmetic wear
A few nicks in the veneer; please see all images
All controls and keys tested and working
Case latches and handle intact
Used by synth heads looking for a warmer, more flexible alternative to the Solina or RS-202, the SS30 has gained a reputation as one of the more refined and musical string machines of its era. The stereo spread alone is worth the price of admission.

"A true classic counting with Bob Moog himself on its design team, this enhanced Electric Blue Edition minimoog Voyager unit received the V.3 digital board upgrade by moog techs when the company was still running in Asherville, USA. It allows the desirable expanded memory to let the user store up to 896 presets! Runs on version 3.5 offering plenty of modulation routings. Sounds phenomenal and stays perfectly in tune. Built in rugged steel chasis with custom finished black wood cabinet handcrafted in Moog Music — company that it's now gone, sadly. Gorgeous blue electroluminescent looking. In fantastic condition (see pics). As a bonus, also included on this listing is an original MOOG modular/Little Phatty jigsaw puzzle (unopened), plus a 70-min Moog DVD documentary film by Hans Fjellestad. [ If you’re purchasing from outside the EU, please be ready to provide any details that might be needed — thanks for understanding! ] Will be packed thoughtfully."

"Another item from the ARP collection: Here's the original vintage Black and Gold-finished Mk I ARP AXXE model 2312 - with unit's serial number 2312 ! - at an affordable entry-level point. It has original ARP upgrade PPC kit yet installed replacing the rotary pitch bend knob. A white overlay is provided for the signal flow diagram (see pictures). Optionally, as the original front panel graphics are gone, we’ve given it a nice touch with hand-painted gold detailing. Like its sibling the Odyssey, the AXXE has its own unique voice: while you’ll get that unmistakable ARP analog character, it also can opens the door to a variety of sounds — from thick, punchy basses to bright, sizzling leads — all for a fraction of the cost. Plus, it’s got a few fun tricks up its sleeve that you can appreciate on this explicit video from Starsky Carr: https://youtu.be/-6NHVLVJgpA?feature=shared . In working condition overall, though there’s a bit of crackling here and there, so a good cleaning is recommended - sold as is. As a great bonus are the connections on the back allowing an external synth or signal to be processed along with CV, Gate and Trigger inputs and outputs plus a control pedal input for the filter. Standard IEC power lead not included. [ If you’re purchasing from outside the EU, please be ready to provide any details that might be needed — thanks for understanding! ] Will be packed thoughtfully."

Analogue Solutions Semblance: 4 Voice

Additional NOISEBUG Listings

"SUPER RARE!

Pristine condition - Fully functional, Comes assembled to a 13U rack.

Semblance / 4Voice is a self contained TRUE analogue synthesiser. The voice circuitry is entirely analogue, using all discrete and op-amp components. There is no voice DSP happening! Semblance / 4Voice has a similar sound and specifi cation to the classic Oberheim SEM, but with many improvements such as MIDI, Noise, more modulation. Note however, Semblance is not intended to be and is not a clone of the SEM. If you want a true SEM sound, buy a SEM! The 4Voice version has a Poly mode, to allow four the voices to be used as one big 4-voice poly synth"

Unique Modded Yamaha CS30 Modded DUOPHONIC Midi Synth

"This is a rare 1977 cs30. Yamaha’s most complex mono synth. The closest thing Yamaha made to a modular system. This one was modded specifically for me. Individual cv inputs for the 2 oscillators and individual gate inputs for all 3 egs. I have this hooked up to 2 Kenton Pro-Solo midi/cv converts. One is set to low note, one to high note. Now this synth plays like a classic duophonic synth like the Odyssey, sh7, etc through any midi keyboard or sequencer. Both midi converters and cables are included. It also has custom wood end pieces. I will also include the original plastic ones. This is a crazy synth with 2 oscillators, sub osc, 3 egs, 1 lfo, ring mod, cross mod, 2 multi mode filters, 2 amps, 8 step sequencer that can trigger any of the egs so you can make complex lfo shapes and modulate anything. Tons of modulation options everywhere. Even the external input can be a mod source and the lfo can be different shapes at different destinations and be effected by an eg. Amazing synth. Everything works perfectly. It should be noted that when using the cv/midi, some functions like detuning and portamento do not work. But the Kentons can do both and even add tuning range and extra LFOs."
