Ultra Rare Quasimidi 309-Groove-X! (Klaus Schulze Edition!)

Electronisounds Audio

"FIRST sound examples of the *ULTRA-RARE* Quasimidi 309-Groove-X Klaus Schulze Edition!
On first inspection, the only differences I can find between this edition and the original Rave-O-Lution 309 are these patterns. The sounds appear to be the same in both units.
More videos to come on this wonderful rarity!
Thanks for watching!"

You can find additional posts featuring the Klaus Schulze Quasimidi 309 here, including a rough demo here. There was also a non Schulze edition black Quasimidi 309 you can find in previous posts here.

You can find a demo of one posted here.

"A special version of the Rave-O-Lution 309 with a black finish, special patterns, and two sound expansion boards (Drum X & Synth X)

A lot of the internal patterns sound like direct excerpts from Klaus Schulze's techno albums.

The 309 is pretty much a Roland TR808/909 drum machine with a TB303 built in. It has a sequencer, dozens of drum, percussion and synth sounds to choose from, four audio outputs, two audio input, built-in effects and MIDI.

The bass drum, snare and hi-hat sounds can be chosen from a whole bank of samples and have pitch and decay knobs to help find that perfect tone.

There's a 12-note polyphonic bank of percussion sounds which include a lot of synth and string hits.

The mono lead/bass synth has a variable lowpass filter with resonance so you can tweak to your hearts content.

Effects wise, there's the "Overblast" overdrive knob as well as delay, flanger, reverb and more!"

This one was spotted and sent in via Loscha.

Expanded Klaus Schulze Edition Black Quasimidi 309 GROOVE-X RAVE-O-LUTION

"This is my rare QUASIMIDI 309-Groove-X rare KLAUS SCHULZE LIMITED EDITION now for sale in London.

It's a special version of the Rave-O-Lution 309 with a black finish, Klaus Schulze signature, special patterns, and two expansion sound memories on board.

The 309 is basically a Roland TR808/909 style drum machine plus a TB303 style bassline synth and sequencer, with dozens of drum, percussion and synth sounds to choose from, four audio outputs, two audio input, built-in effects and MIDI.

As such it's great for dance and DJ composers, and in this version particularly good for synth/sequencer composers too. There are patterns onboard which sound like entire Klaus Schulze techno albums alone.

The bass drum, snare and hi-hat sounds can be chosen from a whole bank of samples and have pitch and decay altered. There's a 12-note polyphonic bank of percussion sounds which include a lot of synth and string hits so make the instrument sound more like a polyphonic synth. The mono lead/bass synth of course has variable lowpass filter with resonance, and there's an overall Overblast overdrive as well as delay, flanger, reverb and other effects.

Patterns can be composed and chained into Songs and dumped via MIDI.

This 309 is in very good condition and includes rack ears and original power supply. There's a slight bend in the top left of the panel which isn't noticeable when rackmounted. Occasionally it's a little eccentric - some buttons sometimes need a firmer press than others and the display which usually flicks back to Tempo when it's not doing anything else sometimes stays on the last parameter you've edited. Nothing major though.

I'd like this to be collected in London (UK) and paid in cash. I will ship to the UK and to the USA, Germany and the rest of Europe, but you'll have to arrange payment by bank transfer or some other reliable method as I don't use PayPal.

"The system comprises:
Delta Music Research four-note polyphonic modular analog synthesizer
Delta Music Research microprocessor controller polyphonic keyboard
2 x Moog Taurus 2 mono analog bass synth brain
Future Retro Mobius analog MIDI sequencer
2 x Korg MS2000R MIDI virtual analog synth/sequencers
Quasimidi 309 Groove X Klaus Schulze limited edition drum sequencer
Quasimidi Polymorph polyphonic MIDI synth/sequencer,
2 x Pro Muzer dual analog drum synthesizers,
Synare PS1 analog drum synth brain (pads separate, needs repair)
Roland SH3a monophonic analog synth (keyboard removed)
Roland MKB300 splttable MIDI controller keyboard
Patch bay, Nobels mixer, TASCAM MM1 MIDI programmable mute mixer

The system's in custom built cabinets matching the shape of the Delta Music Research system, which is a rare US or Canadian-built genuine analog modular which has four oscillators, four envelopes and four filters, so is capable of playing four-note polyphonically. Patch cables are included.

The YouTube information includes a link to my website and various sections of the modular system have been on stage with me at the London South Bank Centre with Damo Suzuki of Can, and in concert in London with White Noise and with Arthur Brown.

All the major parts of the system including all the MIDI elements are guaranteed working. With over 2000 knobs and controls, and parts of the system dating back to the 1970's, no overall guarantee is made. The Synare PS1 lacks its internal power transformer and may well work when one is fitted - its pads are included separately. The Pro Muzer dual analog drums haven't been tested but are probably fine, both have case lids included and one of these has the original pads with piezo pickups still in place, but you'll probably play the modules from alternative trigger sources anyway. The Roland SH3a's keyboard has not been retained and one of its four oscillator footages may be dead, but the others are fine and the synth is great for sound effects and arpeggios.

The amount of cabling at the rear of the system is vast (some of the MIDI cabling using angled stereo jack adaptors rather than DIN plugs) and for this reason and many others, you will understand when I say that this system is not for the beginner, and I will not sell it to a beginner. The interfacing options of the various modules are vast in terms of MIDI, audio and clock connections and the system should be connected in any way the new owner sees fit, with any minor replacements and repairs being carried out at the time. Expect to take at least two weeks to have the system installed and running in a new location. I will provide advice for 6 months from purchase.

For transportation purposes, the system is not as intimidating as it looks. It is now disassembled into three suitcases plus a box and will fit readily in any car. You do not need a large van to collect it.

Collection from North London by appointment is the only option and absolutely no form of shipping anywhere will be considered. You may purchase from outside the UK, but you will have to arrange to visit London to collect.

Anyone interested in this system must make contact with a detailed statement of their location and ability to purchase. No bids from anyone not approved in advance will be considered. There is no point making last minute bids, they will be removed. You must make contact early and with extensive detail to stand any chance of being the successful purchaser.

If you would like to know the guide selling price, make contact to ask.

'El Monstruo' will offer you thousands of hours of musical diversion. Make contact early if you are interested in being its new owner."

Quasimidi Polymorph Classic Rack Synth

via this auction

"A rare and sought after instrument. The descendant of the Quasimidi Rave-o-lution 309, the Polymorph was Quasimidi's final and most ambitious synth. Powerful, subtle, and deep. In addition to Quasimidi's powerful synth engine, it is the step sequencer that really sets this instrument apart. The step sequencer has 16 steps and 4 lines, 8 variations, and many sophisticated features that make this synth a truly inspirational resource for Techno and Trance, as well as "Berlin School" styles of electronic music. A favorite of Orbital and Jean-Michel Jarre. Klaus Schulze still makes extensive use of his famous "wall" that features seven Polymorphs, both in the studio and on stage."
