PEARL SYNCUSSION SY-1 *Soundgas Serviced* Vintage Drum Synth SN 508582

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

via this auction

"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."

Details:
"Pearl Syncussion synthetic drum module. Renowned or notorious (depending on your point of view) for some of the classic 70's and 80's synth drum sounds. Should work with triggers using standard 1/4" plugs, or, as the original brochure says "microphones can be connected to either input", with a 1/4" connector of course. Mono output.

More information on this unit is available here and a download of the original product brochure is available here which gives an overview of the various functions."

Pearl Syncussion SY-1 Rare Analogue drum synthesizer

via this auction

"extremely rare and sought after Pearl Syncussion SY-1 drum synthesizer. It has two channels and can be triggered by a synthesizer, drum machine or a piezo transducer (available at Maplins for less than a pound). There are sensitivity knobs at the rear to adjust for a strong or weak signal. When used with piezo's the sounds vary depending on how hard you hit the pad making it truly expressive and musical. Also, because this is pure analogue, there is no processor lag (latency) so the sounds are heard instantly, essential for getting a good groove.

The SY-1 has 6 preset oscillator modes, and on each channel there are 8 sliders which control, tune, decay, width, sweep speed, sweep range, lfo speed, lfo range, and output. There are also sliding switches to control "sweep up-off-down" and "lfo square wave-off-saw wave" and sample and hold."

MAM / HDB / Vermona 'Mini Syncussion DRM 2' Analog Kick Drum Synth

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

via this auction

"This extremely rare piece is the single 'DRUM' channel from the famed DRM and Syncussion series of analog drum synthesizers made by MAM / Vermona. It is also comparable to the new 'Kick Lancet' from Vermona as you'll notice that other than the additions of Time, Noise, and Wave it has the same controls (Distortion is now called Balls). It was designed to deliver solid analog kick drums which it does with ease, covering the range from bass heavy sponginess to clicking hard edged thumps. It also produces some unmistakable mono synth type effects and basses with the decay set long. Identical to its full sized counterparts, the DRUM channel has eight knobs to model your tones: Decay, Pitch, Bend, Attack, FM Int, FM Freq, Distortion, and Volume. There is also a manual trigger on the front so you can tweak your sound and hear the results in real time without any need for a computer or external trigger. On the back it has a mono output, midi in, and power in. It responds to Midi note on / off and velocity; there is no patch memory or presets - only tweak as you go analog goodness! Enjoy"
