Mego Muson Synthesizer toy art NEUTRA

via this auction

"Hi there. My name is Max Neutra. I am an artist in Los Angeles. Thanks for checking out the shop.

What we have here is a 10"x10" painting of a Mego Muson Synthesizer. In my opinion, this is the holy grail of vintage music toys. I was lucky enough to find one years ago before the ebay market seized up on these. You can physically rearrange the colored block in what I would call a sequencer, creating what the box says are "the strangest sounds in the galaxy".

This painting was originally created for a solo show / record release party in Hollywood. It sold, but in the end the buyer traded it back towards more expensive work. Now I offer it to you!

Before I started painting, I made electronic music for eight years. I was obsessed with obscure noise making devices and put together a hearty collection through ebay. Some of my pieces have even made it into the quintessential collection at miniorgan.com! I used these toys as well as other more professional devices to put together music that I considered funky electro ( Think Kraftwerk, Devo, Thomas Dolby, Yello, etc.). Suddenly painting took over about 5 years ago and the music making was put aside, but I recently made a final push and released my first album. Ten years in the making! The album is called Automation Addiction and can be purchased through itunes, amazon, beatport, etc.

Here is a list of equipment I used on the album:
Muson Synthesizer
Remco Sound fx machine
Bee Gees Rhythm Machine
General Electric Tote-a-tune
Texas Instruments Speak & Music
Mattel Electronic Connection
Panasonic r-1088
Tyco Hotkeyz
Waddingtons Compute-A-Tune

M-Z3R0 - circuit bent Casio PT-87 synthesizer

via this auction

"Based on [the seller's] popular casio pt82/87 configuration this new machine has been taken to a new level.

Fitted with resonant drone distortion, drum booster, lead booster, lo-fi toggle, extreme pitch,

LFO with rate and depth which can be routed to the pitch and drone distortion controls.

The rom cartridge has been removed and replaced with my modified delay circuit tailored to creating

anything from shifting ambience - glitches and noise,

right through to extreme and harsh death industial atmospheres.

This delay will also function as an ordinary delay effect if required.

The machine is fitted with a line input so external equipment can also be processed with the delay."

"modified delay circuit which is tailored to creating

drifting abience, glitch and abstract sounds and harsh industrial noise.

The delay circuit has a 1/4 inch line input allowing you to process external equipment through it.

Extreme pitch control and a pitch LFO with adjustable rate and depth are fitted allowing this

machine to create tones similar to those of the commodore 64 and a number of other

8bit consoles and computers."

Roland TR-808 Analogue Drum Machine with MIDI

via this auction
via the description:
"I tended to trigger it via a hardware MIDI sequencer as it offered far more variety & allowed me to do things the on-board sequencer can’t. For a start, MIDI triggering means all sounds are velocity sensitive, with accent triggered when velocity is 80 or greater.

Also, MIDI triggering allows for 12 drum sounds to trigger externally as opposed to 11 via on board sequencer. Hand Clap & Maracas trigger independently, whereas with on-board sequencer you have to select on or other via the front panel switch (as for Toms/Congas.)

On the step-sequencer front I will say that whilst the machine is working 100% fine & has done for the 5 years I’ve had it, the step 12 button is a bit temperamental. Yes, it works, but you have to press firmly on the button for it to switch on/off. Once you get used to this it’s not a problem if you want to use the internal sequencer."

Was going to sell on eBay but changed my mind... Thats why you see me striking all the notes... NOT a performance video but rather a functionality video. This thing sounds terribly gorgeous... and quite possibly one of the greatest vintage synthesizers ever manufactured... There seems to be less than one thousand or so still in existence... maybe even far less?"

FORMANTA EMS-01 USSR SOVIET ANALOG SYNTHESIZER

via this auction

"FORMANTA EMS-01 — FANTASTIC VERY RARE VINTAGE SOVIET ANALOG POLYPHONIC SYNTHESIZER / ORGAN / MONSTER MONOSYNTH. A REAL MONSTER SYNTH WITH FULLY TRANSLATED KNOBS AND PANELS.
FORMANTA EMS-01 was produced by Katchkanar radio equipment factory "Formanta", which is the manufacturer of such well-known makes of synthesizers as Polivoks, Formanta, Manual, Maestro etc. It bears the same logo on the package and retains some of its most impressive capabilities.

FORMANTA EMS-01 is an electronical music instrument combining a polyphonic organ and a monophonic synthesizer. It is designed to perform music of all genres and to create various sound effects while recording soundtracks for movies and plays, or studio recording. The organ has a 5-octave keyboard, 6 preset sound timbres, frequency vibrato with adjustable vibrato delay, decay adjustment and a stereophaser (both for organ and synthesizer). The "vibrato delay" scheme is activated again only after all the previously pressed keys are released. In the "legato" mode the "vibrato delay" scheme is not activated.

Synthesizer has:
— 3-octave keyboard;
— modulator, modulation voltage from which is applied to frequency modulator, width modulator, filter, and amplifier;
— broad band oscillators 1 and 2 (with various waveforms);
— mixer, designed for summation of signals from oscillators 1 and 2, noise generator, external source, and ring modulator;
— filter, designed for dynamic and static changing of the spectrum of summarized signal from mixer output;
— amplifier, designed for making the sound corresponding to various parameters of the envelope;

Organ has:
— 5-octave keyboard;
— 6 Waveforms;
— Freq vibrato with- Rate, Depth and Delay
— Stereo Phaser (For both organ and synth) with rez level
— Sustain level
Visual division of the synthesizer panel into the above listed sections and their lay-out make it more easy to orientate oneself while setting the required timbre. Besides, the synthesizer is able to simultaneously control one more similar synthesizer through a special cable and connectors CONTR IN and CONTR OUT.

The instrument provides the opportunity of connecting stereo headphones; the volume in headphones doesn't change in case of changing the volume of the instrument from zero to maximum at all the outputs of the instrument with the foot pedal; thanks to this, preliminary control of timbre through the headphones before applying it to amplifiers is possible. By switching on PHASER into the channel of organ or synthesizer, it is possible to get stereo sound in the outputs STEREO L and STEREO P. In case PHASER is switched off, both channels will function in MONO mode.

Specifications:
— 3-octave synthesizer keyboard;
— 5-octave organ keyboard;
— Sound range - 9 octaves;
— Organ band from 43,65 Hz (F controctave) to 1318 Hz (E in three-line octave);
— Operating conditions: temperature 15-35 C, humidity 65%, barometric pressure 86,6 - 106,6 kPa;
— Relative frequency deviation after 4 hours of uninterrupted operation within 0,5%;
— Adjustment range for organ and synthesizer + 6% (+ 0,5 tone);
— Minimal range of continuous detuning of oscillator 2 regarding oscillator 1 - 1 octave;
— Range of adjustment of filter cutoff frequency 100- 1500 Hz;
— Minimal dynamic range - 55 dB;
— Supply voltage AC 220+10V, 50 Hz;
— Power consumption within 75 VA;
— Weight, 30 kg (66 Pounds)"
