"Serviced and modified with:
• Separate outputs for channels one and two on a TRS (stereo) jack
• CV Mod – allows you to “play” the Syncussion via a CV in.

These are stunning and powerful drum synths: trigger via a drum pad, drum machine or output from your DAW. We love these and have two in the studio which we trigger from our 808. The low end on a Syncussion leaves the 808 seeming a tad weedy…

This one will ship once our techs have finished with it – we modify the output to TRS jack for separate outputs for each channel and also with CV ins for each channel for more musical interactivity…

It uses a 12v DC 300mA, centre negative unit power supply (not supplied).

There are currently no known operational faults with this unit – some crackle may be possible when the unit has not been used for some time – this should clear with use.

In superb cosmetic condition with only minor signs of age or wear across the unit. The wooden case is very clean with some dings and scuffs around the edges. See photos for more information on cosmetic condition."

Pearl Syncussion SY-1 SY1 Vintage Drum Synthesizer All Original and Complete

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Very good original used condition with some very minor blemishes as you can see in the photos. Includes SY-1 unit, 2 toms/triggers, 2 original specific stands, carrying case, and AC adapter. These were purchased brand new, and have never been outside of my home. Never modded or screwed around with. They have however not been used very often in the past years, and have been in dry/heated storage.

Both toms work perfect, but only Channel 1 is currently working. Channel 2 probably just needs a quick clean and service due to not being used. These can be used with any external trigger device, not just the included toms... but very cool that this is the complete set. You don't see many complete sets come up for sale.

If you're looking at these you know what they are... often duplicated, but this is where it all started!"

The Division Department 01/IV ANALOG DRUM SYNTH

The first batch of the new 01/IV ANALOG DRUM SYNTH will be limited to a run of 50.

"01/IV by The Division Department is a 4-channel analog drum synthesizer capable of synthesizing a wide palette of sounds. From usual drum hits like kicks, toms, snares, claps, hi-hats and cymbals to unusual and complex sounds like drones and weird modulated creations. The provided MIDI implementation lets the 01/IV be triggered via MIDI, which makes it a powerful piece of equipment in a setup.
−
The concept of 01/IV is unique as it has four identical voice channels with all the power of synthesizing various type of drum sounds. Any channel can play a kick, a cymbal, toms and congas, or even a bassline. Channels can even be combined, can modulate each others in pairs (FM) or can be layered to form complex sounds. All these achieved with a flexible routing system composed of slide switches and carefully calibrated synthesizer elements.
−
01/IV inherited genes from legendary drum machines and drum synthesizers like the Pollard Syndrum, the Roland 808 & 909, and Pearl Syncussion SY-1. It has a true analog audio path, but also added a very flexible digital modulation system of a multi-function LFO, ramp and retrigger generator.
−
Key Features:

60 panel controls: Knobs - Switches - Triggers Buttons
4 Voices - Chromatic via midi
Drone Mode
Midi note triggers and partial Midi CC controls
Mix / Individual outputs
Compact size / Light weight

"Psycox Syncussion SY1M - A clone of the much loved Pearl Syncussion Drum Synth

Recently completed build of the this amazing drum/percussion synthesizer. I bought 2 kits and will be keeping one as the sound is amazing.

This model includes MIDI as well as CV/Gate to interface with external gear.

I have built many synth kits and eurorack modules over the last 4 years and have used the best components for this kit, so buy with confidence. I also offer a 1 year warranty on my DIY builds so if there are any issues you can send it back to me for a fix.

Here is more info from the kits manufacturer:

'The Syncussion SY-1M kit is a faithful reproduction of an extremely versatile drum synthesizer from the late 1970's. With 6 Oscillator Modes per channel it is capable of a wide range of sounds, from the classic 70's disco "peeoww" to tight bells, thunderous Kick drums and Gnarly Bass sounds. Whilst retaining the original CV and Trigger inputs, the addition of per channel MIDI controlled Triggering, Pitch and Decay greatly expands the possibilities. The kit contains 2 Printed Circuit Boards, a Powder Coated and Screen Printed Steel Case, 16 Slide potentiometers, 16 Slider Caps, 8x BCM857 Dual Matched Transistors, 47uH RF Choke (necessary for the power supply filter) and a pre-programmed ATMEGA328.'"

Pearl Syncussion SY-1 w/ Pearl Trigger Drum Pads

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Two identical and independent fully analog synth voices geared towards bass and full range percussion. Kicks, snares, toms, hats, etc.

Recently serviced and fully functional. Casing for the SY-1 shows some light regular signs of use for a nearly 40 year old synth but is in great condition. Drum Pad heads show little wear with no holes or tears in the heads. You will have a very hard time finding a complete SY-1 package in better condition."

The Human Comparator SY-1 Rev 2 - Pearl Syncussion Analog Drum Synth

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This listing is for a fully working and calibrated 2019 build of the SY-1 Pearl Syncussion analog drum synthesizer clone using the Rev 2 (2018) PCB and enclosure by The Human Comparator, aka zthee...

The Pearl Syncussion is a legendary two-channel electronic drum module released during the Disco era which contains an amazing array of awesome percussion sounds within its easy-to-grasp interface. Its 6 oscillator modes, selectable by rotary knob, allow a user to emulate bells, toms, snares, claps, and more (triggerable manually or via analog trigger input) or totally space out using the onboard LFO and S&H modulation. Though original units are hard to find, they are still heavily in use to this day due to their obvious usefulness for techno, electro, etc.

In 2016, The Human Comparator released an instantly popular, near-identical clone of the original Pearl unit, thus making these legendary sounds available to the masses once again!"

SY-1 Pearl Syncussion clone - fixing the PSU noise

Published on Jul 2, 2018 Stereoping

"The first batch of the brilliant SY-1 Syncussion clones from the human comparator seemed to have an issue with the negative power supply (TL497 inverter), soiling an ennoying high frequent noise into the audio path. There are several discussions and suggestions for fixing in different discussion boards. On learning from Shruthi filter schematics i came across another voltage inverter (LT1054) and wanted to give it a try. To my own surprise it worked right away, the noise completely disappeared, the unit still worked (unbeleivable!) and the new inverter keeps perfectly cool. I built a test setting with a switch allowing to flip from the original negative supply to a breadboarded LT1054 supply. You will directly hear and see the difference.

Second half of the demo shows some pictures how my alternative negative supply looks like now. It is soldered directly in place after removing the TL497 and some unused components. The background music is of course from the SY-1 (after PSU-conversion) together with the impOSCar.

There is an article on my site with more details about this hack."

Michigan Synth Works SY0.5 - Pearl Syncussion Clone in Eurorack

Published on Nov 19, 2018 DivKidVideo

"**TIMING INDEX / SECTIONS BELOW** Here's the new Michigan Synth Works faithful recreation of the classic synth percussion unit the Syncussion from Pearl. Modern equivalents of all the original components are still available so this is very close to the original. Lots of drum sounds on board, I've had some great punchy kicks, longer tom like tones, alien FM cowbell action. To me the unit feels like one big sweet spot, hard to make a bad sound on which can be as rare thing.
