ARP Little Brother Vintage Analog Synth CV Oscillator

via this auction

"Oh, no we didn't!

An ARP Little Brother is loose!

This spunky little devil works well and sounds great! The housing is in good shape overall showing some moderate scratching. There is a little bit of white paint speckle at the top of the control area. All controls manipulate the synth as intended. The controls for the "Brass" and "Alto" switches are a little stiff but not damaged. Jacks, faders, and switches are intact and should hold up for a while still.


This guy is great! Perfect sidecar oscillator for any CV/Gate analog synth. No envelopes or filters to get in the way of your madness. Use it as a stand-alone synth and play it by the pitch bend control for theremin sounds! Get busy!"

Folktek The Bug 10

via this auction
"The Bug 10 By Ben Houston .
This custom piece is part of a folktek series entitled "philanthropoid"". Known simply as the Bug series. Also in the series on the site and around the world is the Mantis, dronescape sequencer,the book of sound, the moth, the growling insect, the bug, the octa-hedra, walking stick, pendulum translator and others. The sound is phenomenol and continues to amaze us. It is a sonic symphony of nasty and grimy sweetness, endless layers of sound possibilities emenating from High quality OSC originally based on high tech speech synthesis. Seemingly random bits can be rediscovered time and time again and then there are those moments that you will most likely never rediscover. Endlessly captivating, this piece WILL provide sounds that you will not find in other synthesizers and will astonish you every time you turn it on.

This particular piece features four patchable knobs, and a twelve point magnetic patchbay. This allows you to determine function and provides tons of flexibility. In addition, two more knobs (global knob control and power kill) , glowing lamp power indicator , 2 folktek button/switches for activate and freeze mode sections, reset, 1/4" output, basic manual of function and layout. You'll be able to cipher through waveforms and textures with extreme sensitivity in thousands of ways. Waveforms (individual, or multiple layers) can be captured and maintained, often intermodulating in beautiful and/or disturbing ways. Super sensitive knobs let you filter through tons of sounds and glitchscapes. Albums are waiting to be created here as the sound is quite different from anything else you'll find.. Includes DC adaptor"

Admin: Ebay RSS Feeds Added

RSS feeds have been added to the right of each link under the MORE STUFF section on the right. I've been good checking the "Synths on Ebay US" and "Synths on Ebay UK" links, but horrible with the rest. I just have zero time. With RSS feeds, the items will now come to me. For those that want to see what's on Ebay for synths, but not have to constantly go to Ebay, feel free to sub. Each feed is unique.

If you are on the list, the query terms for RSS are "synth" or "synthesizer" plus your shop, so be sure to include at least one if you want the item to show up in the feed.

For those not on the list, if you have an Ebay shop and sell synths, feel free to send me a link and I'll consider adding it. My contact info is on the bottom right of the site.

For those that do not have a shop but want their items posted, feel free to send them in as they go up.

If anyone wants me to create a custom feed, let me know, either via the comments or direct email. I might consider creating a master feed page for any requests that come in.

Note the "Synths on Ebay US" and "Synths on Ebay UK" links filter out a lot of the garbage like synthetic hair, CDs, and the like.

As always, be careful and read the full descriptions, conditions and feedback before bidding.
