"Rare and unique compact Paia modular synth in original folding case with handle. Most likely built from one of their kits in the late 70's or early 80's. (The included guide has a copyright date of 1976) I bought this a couple years ago as a project but never got around to it and no longer have the space. The synth turns on and the LED lights up but I do not have the proper cables so am not able to test everything in depth. Therefore this is listed 'As Is'. I've included pictures at various angles to show everything in detail so please check out all them.

Include in case :

4740 - Envelope Generator
2 x 4710 - Balanced Modulator
2x Voltage Control Oscillator
Voltage Controlled Amplifier
4781 Transposer
Band Pass Filter
Low Pass Filter
4780 Sequencer
3 x 4770 Watt Block Multiple
2x 4716 Wing Multiple/Power
4711 4/2 Mixer

Size : Open - Approx 31" x 7" x 9" / Closed 15" x 14" x 9""

"PAIA 4700 Series filter / effect bank including

4710 Balanced modulator,

4712 Spring reverb,

4730 three-pole filter,

4740 ADSR envelope generator,

PAIA original functions also include: Noise generator, LFO generator, 0-5 adjustable DC power, and Envelope follower.

Plus custom work by www.vansickleaudio.com :

4 channel stereo tube mixer.

Tube preamp with guitar input jack.

Modified Boss OC2 Octave circuit with seperate outputs for low and lower octaves.

High voltage power supply for operating tube circuits.

Comes with several shielded coax 1/8" male interconnect cables (for audio) and single-pin unshielded interconnect cables (for DC control such as ADSR)

My personal favorite uses for this have been with cello and electric piano. It offers many fun effects, but unfortunatly little convenience. At best you can run the outputs of 4 different tones into the mixer and use the mixer to change tones. Not handy for live applications but great if you want a recorded tone that is quite unique."
