"Analog realization of the universal oscillator with a single frequency range spanning LFOs to ultrasonic. Phase modulation directly drives the stable triangle core appearing in both outputs. Continuously adjustable synchronization strength allows locking to odd, even, or fractional ratios of a master oscillator, all voltage controlled. Audio demos of the module recorded directly off the outputs:
Triangle phase modulation, manual depth control of triangle modulator
Sawtooth phase modulation, manual depth control of triangle modulator into clipping
Sawtooth sync, manual adjustment of window size
Triangle sync, manual adjustment of master frequency"
"This is am extremely rare State Zero Synthesiser from Mungo Enterprises. Less than 100 of these synthesisers were made. This synth includes full patch ability of the modules. It is in as-new condition with virtually no use"
Note the best pics, but you don't see these often. This one spotted and sent in via AJ (not his listing).
"John from Mungo Enterprises demonstrates a brass patch on the State Zero polyphonic modular. By coincidence someone was rehearsing on a french horn in another room which served as an ideal reference."
If you are not familiar with the Mungo Enterprises State Zero synthesizer, see the Mungo label at the bottom of this post. Update: this synth was announced around Winter NAMM 2010 and had an estimated street price of $12,000. http://mungo.com.au/
A characteristic sound of the State Zero synthesiser, a symphony of PWM and sawtooth symmetry modulation spread across the stereo field by 4 envelopes and 2 LFOs cross modulating many many parameters.
Mungo Enterprises - SyncZ

"Demonstration of SyncZ device. Sequence of events:
1. Sync to RM1x Master
2. Start TR606 slave
3. Stop RM1x Master
4. Restart RM1x Master
5. Stop and unplug TR606 slave
6. Start Cubase Slave
7. Stop and Restart RM1x Master
8. Stop Cubase Slave
9. Restart Cubase Slave
10. Stop and power off RM1x Master
Now its possible to start and stop both the slave and master in a midi stream. The impossible made possible by Mungo Enterprises."
This one in via Willy: "After Mungo State Zero synth presentation @ winter namm 2010, and an annouced price near 12 000$, I was not able to find any info on this product since then. But today as I was going to order tiptopaudio stuff @ schneidersbuero I finally found with surprise Mungo State Zero for sell and price is 6590€ VAT included ! (nearly 8900$ but with 19.6% VAT here in Europe)."
Update via apoptosis in the comments: "From what Ive been reading, the State Zero is not an analog synthesizer. This title is very misleading."
Great point. The title of the post is the title of the video, so I will leave it as is, but yes definitely worth pointing this out. Here's what's currently up on Mungo: http://mungo.com.au/zero.html. There's no mention of digital vs. analog components, but in this post it is referenced as digital.
