"Here's a short demo of the Studio Electronics MIDI Mini/Minimoog Model D I have listed for sale on Reverb. Some playing around with bass/lead sounds, going through the oscillator waveforms, and sweeping the filter to show how it sounds and performs. Using a Juno-106 as a MIDI controller, not included in sale!"
"this is one of the early versions with the original sound boards ripped out of a Minimoog Model D. Some might call it sacrilege, I call it a great way to get authentic, vintage tone in a 4U rack!
This unit is freshly returned from service at Rosen Sound in Burbank, CA. No oscillator drift, all pots, switches and functions in working order! But there's only so much I can describe in words; check out the demo video I made (above, after the pictures) to hear it in action. This thing is FAT. Floor-shaking basses, screaming leads, and saturated resonance; if you know you know, there's no substitute for the OG Moog sound.
The only functional issue I've found is that the VCO pots are a little scratchy, and the VCO 1 pot has a little trouble clicking into the rightmost waveform (PWM square). I spoke with the tech and since the pots are no longer manufactured, the only solution would be to machine new pots, which would likely cost more than the unit itself. But if that's the only issue for this 40-year-old beast I'd say it's doing pretty well!
Cosmetically the item is in great condition; the faceplate is more or less pristine, with only some very light rack wear on the mounting tabs. The top of the unit has some scratches and scuffs (see pictures),as it's a bit of a tight fit getting this into a rack (but of course those scuffs will be invisible once mounted). Back and sides are in perfect condition."

"The Oberheim OB-Xa is one of they vibiest synths of all time, in my opinion. This video is an exploration of tone and sound, hopefully capturing the essence of the beautiful pads, strings, plucks, and soundscapes that the instrument is capable of creating. Some patches are factory and some are presets I've made. The OB-Xa is also capable of making incredible basses, aggressive brasses, leads, and so on, but in this video, I've decided to present to you what I think the instrument excels at: the softer side of things--creating moody atmospheres and melancholic tones.
This particular OB-Xa was serviced recently by Rob Rosen at Rosen Sound in Burbank, CA.
I have preset banks available for the Prophet Rev 2, Prophet 6, OB-6, Prophet 5/10, XLN Audio's Addictive Keys Mark One, Softube’s Model 84, and the DiscoDSP OB-Xd available on my website www.j3po.net. If you're a Nord Stage 3 user, download my bank from the Nord Keyboards website."
"Welcome to our new YouTube channel! We are excited to get back into making fun videos. In this video we give a peek into the various aspects of fully going through an Oberheim TVS-1, also known as the Oberheim 2 voice, a SEM based synthesizer from the mid 1970's
Join Rob and Eli's disembodied voice restoring one of our favorite synthesizers ever made!
For service, rental, and sales, please visit us at www.rosensound.com
This specific TVS was sold to us by a client who purchased it from our client Peter Freeman many many years ago. Peter recently passed away, and we dedicate this video and this TVS-1 to his memory. RIP!
This TVS-1 is not for sale, however can be rented among many other vintage synthesizers in our rental fleet.
Thank you to Benny Bock for providing the demo at the end for this video. A longer version will be uploaded soon.
Background music by Rob Rosen (though really, the TVS plays itself!)"
"Somehow this never got listed public. This demo is by Eli Goss and is shot in the a reverb chamber that was built for Captain & Tennille, which was then torn down to build what is now the synth cabin.
Not much to add to this considering I’m listing it public 2 years later, but its none the less an awesome demo by the venerable Eli Goss"
"I finally got an opportunity to take a deep dive into sound design on the Memorymoog (after complete restoration and upgrades performed by Rosen Sound). I tweaked most of the factory sounds and added expression pedal programming to each. In the following examples, a factory sound is identified by the bracketed number and the name of the factory sound. I also created original sounds that are identified by name only (no bracketed numbers). I used the additional stereo outputs recently installed, so listening through stereo headphones is recommended. The panning positions of the voices cycle, similar to the OB-8, except when the cyclic memory mode is selected, where upon the same key repeatedly played, holds the same pan position. To avoid going over an hour in length, I eliminated multiple factory and original sounds from this demo. The more interesting and complicated original sounds are showcased."
"Rare 14-bit version, also referred to as the "JP-8A". It was serviced a few years ago by Rosen Sound, where they replaced the DCB port with a more practical MIDI option. The "LFO Waveform" knob is a bit wobbly, but works fine. If you are skilled with repairs, replacement pots can be found online for $20 bucks ;) Otherwise, this synth performs great, sounds incredible, and ready for your next recording project."
"Near mint cosmetically and flawless sound. This prophet 5 has just received a clean bill of health from Jay Beste in Detroit. Also has a quiet transformer from Rosen sound professionally installed that significantly has lowered the noise floor. Comes with a hard case, and the original sustain pedal. This is a rev 3 serial # 1000-1317"
"Fantastic condition, great sound and a truly classic synth!
OBXa comes with ENCORE MIDI.
ITEM is really heavy, will be packed by a professional via DHL/UPS.

"Rev 3.2 Prophet 5 upgraded to 3.3 with full memory (128 patches) and factory midi. It has the latest Tauntek firmware which adds many enhancements including unison detune, assignable voices for unison mode, programmable Omni off mode ..., IAC mod for a professional power connection instead of the old power chord. The synth has been fully recapped (power supply and voices) and calibrated. All of the keys work flawlessly and have been cleaned and has new brushings installed for soft key action. The synth has been calibrated and cleaned for sale by Rob Rosen at Rosen Sound about two weeks ago. Before that it was regularly serviced by Greg Montalbano (the Prophet 5 whisperer). Studio use only and this one is in near mint condition. Super clean, sounds beautiful and plays like a dream. Couch not included."
"Oberheim OBX 8-voice vintage analog synthesizer from 1980. I’m the first and only owner. This synth was used for a few short tours through Germany, maybe three times for about 6 weeks each. It was always placed inside the bottom part of its heavy duty flight case on top of a CP70. As of 1984, it has been in a smoke-free studio only.
It has recently been restored to its former glory and future-proofed by Rob Rosen in Los Angeles. An Encore MIDI interface was installed and is working as advertised, expanding the number of patches to 128 and enabling remote playing in both directions. No cosmetic enhancements have been made, but more fancy side panels are available from Rosen Sound, if such an upgrade is desired. No flight case, no original box."
"Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 Rev 3.3
Serial 6145
Beautiful condition and just back from Rosen Sound having been pimped out with full recap, refurbished PSU, Tauntek OS, key bushings and fresh Midi etc, plays like a dream and with the Tauntek adds some cool new features, also included is the original manual."
"This listing is for a vintage Roland JP-4 Jupiter-4 Compuphonic Analog Synthesizer. We are selling this synth on behalf of a professional artist and producer who procured this synth from Rosen Sound."
"Yamaha CS-80 analog synthesizer demo featuring various sounds, patches and ambient soundscapes on this classic vintage synth. This Yamaha CS80 synth demo features six different patches showcasing the Yamaha CS-80's oscillator PWM, pads, bells, noise, LFO and ring modulation capabilities. Filmed at Rosen Sound (www.rosensound.com) in Burbank, CA with slight reverb added.
A descendant of the legendary Yamaha GX-1, the Yamaha CS-80 is a beautiful analog synthesizer produced by Yamaha from 1977-79 and is most famous for being used by Vangelis on the Blade Runner soundtrack. Weighing in at 220lb, the Yamaha CS-80 is a massive synthesizer in terms of size and weight, and is the top of the line synth in the same family as the Yamaha CS-50 and CS-60.
The Yamaha CS-80 is well-known for being extremely organic and expressive, thanks to its incredible interface which includes plenty of sliders, a ribbon controller and polyphonic aftertouch on the 61-note keyboard, which allows for unparalleled performance flexibility.
The Yamaha CS80 can create lush strings, beautiful leads, powerful pads and strong basses and allows for deep sonic exploration and improvisation. In particular, the Yamaha CS-80's ring modulator is one of the most beautiful sounding and versatile designs ever created, as it features full control over attack and decay time, depth, speed, and modulation.
The Yamaha CS-80 is a bi-timbral, dual channel analog synth featuring 8 polyphonic voices. Both channels feature a complete VCO-VCF-VCA signal path and can be controlled independently. The Yamaha CS80's oscillators provide saw, square, PW and PWM, and sine waveshapes which allows for varied sound shaping.
The Yamaha CS-80 LFO features 5 waveforms including sine, square, sawtooth (up/down), noise and external signal and can go into audio rate for extreme sounds. The LFO can also modulate the VCO, VCF and VCA at different levels simultaneously for nice vibrato, filter modulation or tremolo effects.
The Yamaha CS-80 filter is a thing of beauty and features 2x high-pass and 2x lowpass filters. The filters do not self oscillate but have a lovely tone and quality to them. The Yamaha CS-80 also features independent ADSR envelopes for both the filter and VCA, allowing you to shape the sound over time.
Additional controls include adjustable touch response levels for functions including filter brilliance, vibrato and more. There is also portamento and glissando on board, as well as chorus and tremolo effects.
The Yamaha CS-80 is a beautifully expressive instrument and legendary analog synthesizer, which gives the player full control over their performance. In this demo I tried to showcase some sounds and patches in an ambient style, including pads and experimental improvisation. I hope you enjoy the music from this amazing synthesizer. "
