Synton Syntovox 221

via this auction, via the comments of this post

"incredibly rare Dutch-made vocoder. One of only roughly 20 originally produced, this vocoder originally sold for the equivalent of 6000 Euros and is quite possibly the finest vocoder available to man. Aimed firmly at serious electronic musicians and studios, users include Wendy Carlos and Bruno Spoerri.

This unit was supplied to us without power supply. We had our engineer custom build a suitable unit for 240V operation. This is included in the auction and the vocoder is now up and running, fully working and ready to be put to use producing some amazing sounds.

This item is generally in good condition as the photos illustrate. Unfortunately some of the control knobs are missing their end caps, and there are minor marks and scratches on the unit. One of the pins on the matrix is broken but still usable (just shorter than the others) and the pot for the second filter band has a damaged stop meaning that it can be turned through 360 degrees. Despite these minor issues the unit is fully functional and sounds incredible.
More info on the unit is available at the following websites:

Anyone know where to find any decent shots of the Synthovox? Surprisingly I have zero posts mentioning it. It's a vocoder according to sequencer.de. No pics there as well. Funny side note: a Google image search on Synthovox brings up seqquencer.de's vocoder shots only. Every single shot goes to sequencer.de. He has a monopoly on Synthovox image search!!! ;)

Update vid eZe in the comments:

"Try seaching for Syntovox, it's the spelling.. :-)
Synton vocoder models 202, 222 & 221... very nice.
Cheers,
Eric"

Sure enough I do have some posts: link

Kasper plans to post something next week as well. I should catch it in my YouTube subscription.

"Synton Syntovox 222. As VC-10 VP330 Moog EMS SVC350 A+
110v or 220v configuration.
On auction this rare and vintage analog vocoder by Synton from the Netherlands. In production during the golden age of analog synthesizers Synton has gained cult like status by making superb gear like the Synton Syrinx, vocoders, modular systems and the later produced Fenix. This is the Synton Syntovox 222 handbuild in The Netherlands, serial number 107.
Synton can be compared to EMS, Sennheiser, Roland SVC350/VP330 and other high end studio vocoder manufacturers. A very rare instrument indeed that produces some of the smoothest and silkiest vocoder sounds possible...WOW Synton was Wendy Carlos's favourite vocoder brand, Aphex Twin is known to love Synton etc etc... These machines can be found in boutique studios around the world. Machine is in excellent condition, looks great, all knobs in place only one white knob-inlay is missing. Great addition to high class analog studio. BUYER GETS TO CHOOSE 110V OR 220V."
