"This vintage Midimini by SE sounds big and bold just like the OG. This has the SE boards- recently cleaned and calibrated ... it holds tune like champ and no drift!
Get that Minimoog sound in a small door print by the best in the business, other than the "older" Moog.
The bottom right corner is slightly bent, it can still be racked and solid but this might not allow you to use all 4 screws, see pic. No other issues!"
"If you want a professionally restored Mono/Poly, with extras like MIDI, extended functionality, and a custom hardwood case, I sincerely don’t think you will find a better deal than this.
Professionally serviced by Synth Tailor Electronics for the long haul: leaky caps replaced, oscillators tuned up, Tubbutec mod installed for expanded MIDI functionality, maple hardwood case, power supply rebuilt, rubber contacts for the keybed replaced. This is ready to last in your studio for years to come. I am happy to set up a video call if you would like to see the functionality of this synth."

Good people make for good events and good gear, so lets meet them // London Synth & Pedal Expo 2024
"What an amazing weekend we've just had! Here's a video with some of the people at the London Synth & Pedal Expo 2024. Held over this past weekend (Saturday and Sunday the 16th+17th of March 2024) in Studio 9294 in Hackney Wick, the London Synth & Pedal Expo is a free to attend show with plenty of synths, modular and pedal FX on show for people to come and play with.
As it takes good people to make good events (and the good gear we love) I wanted to focus on the people, asking who they are and what they do, more specifically how would they explain what they do to someone with no idea about synths, pedals and music tech. That led to some funny answers, all spread around various bits of b roll and footage from the event."
"This jam is a little weird. My phone was on low battery which made the video slightly glitchy. I was a bit distracted during this recording so it's maybe a bit more boring than usual. There is also a couple mysterious audio drop outs near the end of the video. I didn't notice these prior to uploading so it's possible something went wrong when combining the audio and video files or something.

LondonSXPO-24 Vertice Analogue Filterbank from Euterpe
Stefano reckons you should spend a month with his rather splendid 'Vertice' filterbank - a beautiful if brutal instrument. And if his smiles are anything to go by, it should be a fun time :-]
"Gorgeous, increasingly rare polyphonic analog beast, with an optional CS-80 filter card added and lovely LEDs and button colors. Built like a tank. New, you're looking at over $6k.
Excellent condition operationally and aesthetically, with a few scratches on the top of the case by previous owners (if you look at other listings of things I've sold you can get a sense of the care with which I treat my equipment).
As said by Studio Electronics:
'The Omega 8 is an eight-voice, discrete circuit, multi-timbral, stereo, multi filtered, arpeggiating, DSP free Analog Dream Machine.
Salvational pads, foundational basses, revelatory leads, electrosonic drums, other-worldly FX and thoroughly hypnotic pulsating soundscapes powered by our SE's very own discrete analog sound engine will inspire your most potent creative effort.'"
"MIDIMOOG original early release: Minimoog boards inside by Studio Electronics with the BEST hi quality discrete componets (Old surplus USA military furniture)
Not to be confused with the new version, this is the absolute top and sounds amazing, same as RA Moog (same US surplus components inside)."
"Original model MidiMoog.. Not very many of these made. This was one of SE's first builds. These few MidiMoog's had an original vintage Moog MiniMoog OSC board.. this is one of those.
It all works great.. Thesis Audio completely went through it a couple of years ago.. It is working and sounding great.. just like a vintage minimoog!
In many ways its better than a vintage minimoog.. it has MIDI, it has LFO and Filter Aftertouch!!! And is very portable.. all with the Mini sound.
A couple of things to note. There are scuffs and scratches around the body, The first WAVEFORM knob is a little loose from its post.. NOT THE POT.. just the plastic knob over the metal pot post.. needs a new set screw. And.. while its perfectly scaled and in tune across many octaves.. you may have to scale and tune it after transit.. takes 5-10 min and super easy.. tuning / scaling pots are accessed via the back panel with a mini flat head screwdriver. Might not need tuning when you get it, just stating for full disclosure."
"American Format (5U) modular synthesizer performance in real time to a stereo track in Cubase. For an atonal wash I used the Dove Audio Waveplane and WTF vco's through an Oakley Sound Systems Ring Modulator. I then sent it through A dotcom Q150 transistor ladder filter and a Lower West Side Studio Multimode Filter/Resonator and on to a fixed filter bank and a Frequency Central Stasis Leak digital delay. This drone wash comes in at the final section and ending. The opening reed sound and accompanying organ sounds were derived from the Synthetic Sound Labs/Mutable Instruments (Braids) Woven Spirits module. The initial reed sound is from the AUX output of the Woven Spirits through an SSL/Ian Fritz 5 Pulser and Oakley Sound Systems State Variable Filter. The filter is stepped with a random S&H from JNP Electronics. The secondary organ chord sound is the Main direct output of the Woven Spirits in Chord mode. The combination of both elements are sent to an Electro-Harmonix Grand Canyon in DMM mode. Feedback is applied as needed for the drone sustain throughout the piece. The bass line comes in next with a pair of STG Soundlabs Oscillators through a Dove Audio D502 Multimode filter in -24dB LP mode. The pitch voltage is from the upper Q960 step sequencer. It's timing is from a Catgirl Synth Master Divider, clocked from a custom Dual LFO/Analog Shift Register of Ken Stone (Catgirl Synth) design. An additional tap from the STG oscillator through a Corsynth C103 Frequency Divider/Multiplier module for a sub-octave feed. The melodic line blended into the latter section is from a pair of Q106 dotcom vco's which are pitch controlled by the lower Q960 sequencer. Each vco pitch is from a separate row of the Q960. The Q960's shift timing is from the CGS Master Divider module. The output is routed through an Empress Reverb pedal in Blue Ghost mode. Panning is from the LWSS/Yusynth Panning Mixer. All pitch quantitization is through a Moon Modular 565 series setup. Additional voltage modulation to the Woven Spirits module are from the STG Soundlabs voltage mini stores, and vaious LFO's etc. Timing for the additional sequencers is also managed by the Moster Divider."
"It is essentially an original Model D with some added functionality like MIDI, LFO, etc. The VCO board must be a Studio Electronic board but not so sure about the power supply and VCF/VCA boards; check out the photos for reference. It sounds amazing at any rate, just like an original Mini."

This appears to be the first post to feature pics of the Soundart Chameleon. It was mentioned a couple of times in posts featuring Paula Maddox of Modal Electronics and vacaloco's Gorf development in 2008. See the Soundart label for more. Note there is also an unrelated Chameleon branded self contained modular synth.
From the auction:
"A rare synth/vocoder/fx processor in very good condition. There is a little rack rash and the top has some scratches (see pictures for details). It works perfectly and sounds awesome. The Soundart Chameleon is an amazing addition to your studio. It can host a legendary vocoder called Infiltrator (check out what gearspace says about Infiltrator) and some awesome synths---the best one being Austrailis. Peruse the website descriptions and sound examples for all the different skins you can load onto it, along with downloads of all the sysex files:
To change skins, just hold SHIFT while you turn it on. It will display that it is waiting for the next skin. Then, use Bome SendSX to send it the sysex file of the next skin. You can find a link to SendSX here."

"The Studio Electronics Omega 2 is one the most rare discrete analog synths, around 50 of them were only made. It is in very good condition, in fact this one was never racked. Functions well and sounds huge. Has the latest firmware as well.
Some info of this particular model:
The OMEGA 2 is a 2-voice true stereo analog synthesizer with two completely discrete OMEGA voice boards mounted in a 2U size case. Although the number of knobs and buttons on the panel is smaller than his big brother OMEGA8 all functions except the number of polyphony/parts are the same as OMEGA8."
