1976 Paia Model 4700 Analog Modular Synthesizer Deep Dive
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by Mears
"A deep dive on this rare, and synthesizer almost 50 years old. I've spent countless hours restoring it, and am very pleased with the results. It can produce a wide range of sounds, thick and beefy baselines, pillowy ambient textures, fat analog drums and so much more! This video covers the features of the synth, detailed shots and explanations of the restoration and internal components as well as a ton of high quality audio recordings of the various sounds this synth can produce.
Here's where you can find a whole bunch of great info about this synth: https://modularsynthesis.com/paia/470..."
via this auction
"Really neat vintage synth, in great working condition. I restored it electronically 3 years ago, and have only used it in my home studio. I'm the second owner, and acquired it directly from the original owner whom purchased it in the 1970's, I believe it's from 1976. I have a bunch of paperwork for the synth somewhere, if I can find it(I'll try, it's buried in boxes somewhere!) I'll include it as well. It's worth noting that during the restoration, I preferred to keep the synth as original as possible, but electronically stable, and to make a 50 year old synth as reliable as possible. It includes and uses the original "pin" cables, so neat & rare. That being said, it's still a very old synth, from the early days of modular synths, when slight changes in mains voltage and temperature variations manifested themselves in "interesting" ways. I'd assume that the purchaser of this synth understands that and doesn't expect the oscillator tracking and tuning stability to be similar to modern synths. Please watch the Youtube video I created for this synth, which goes into great detail about the synths condition, and should answer any questions you have, and give you a clear idea of what to expect if purchasing.
One last thing, this will have to be sent in 2 boxes, and the synth is fairly heavy(each piece is 11kg on it's own). The shipping rate on the listing is not representative of what the actual shipping cost will be, so please if purchasing, expect that the shipping rate will be higher than indicated on the listing. The calculated shipping on Ebay doesn't accommodate multi-box shipments unfortunately. Feel free to contact me for a shipping quote, and if you purchase, please wait for me to provide you with a quote before sending payment. I'll do everything I can to keep the shipping cost as low as possible, but also make sure it arrives safely.
Thanks!

Donny Benét - Le Piano (Official Music Video)
video upload by Donny Benét
This one was spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child.
Roland TR-808 intro, followed by an ARP 2600. I'm guessing the 2600 is layered over a Yamaha CP70 mentioned below for the piano sounds? The 2600 does appear to come in for the synth solo at 3:04. The bass almost sounds synthetic. Soviet Space Child mentioned it sounds an awful lot like a MiniMoog. Whatever it is, it's fun stuff.
Video description:
From the EP Le Piano, out April 1 on Dot Dash Records
Pre order here: donnybenet.com and from bandcamp

"It gives me great pleasure to present the first single Le Piano from my upcoming EP also titled Le Piano, coming out April 1 on Dot Dash records
After a crazy period of touring, being stuck at home for the past 2 years allowed life to slow down and gift me an extended period in my home studio.
After writing and releasing Mr Experience at the beginning of the coronavirus, I’d turned back to listening to a lot of instrumental music - Sakamoto, Hiroshi Yoshimura, Goblin, Kraftwerk, Vangelis, Yanni…to name a few.
I indulged myself and bought a vintage Yamaha CP70 electric grand piano, as well as finally setting up my studio to record live drums - something that’s been on my mind for quite some time. It seemed too soon to be writing a new album straight after Mr Experience (an album which I can’t wait to perform for you in 2022) so I spent most of the time in my little room experimenting, skilling up, and enjoying the musical process once again without the pressures of deadlines and touring.
This EP is a small taste of my world from this crazy moment in time - I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Oberheim Matrix 6 w/ Custom DIY Controller
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
This one was spotted and sent in via M Me.
"The programmer (my own DIY) can control nearly all of the features on the M6, apart from the mod matrix, so it gives realtime control of most features, but there are some that are still slow due to the slow OS of the Matrix 6. It runs on 12V, and a power supply will be included. I will not sell the programmer separately, as I am sure I will be asked that question."
It definitely gives the Access Matrix-6 programmer a run for the money. This Stereoping controller is worth a look though.

Rare STING Midi Wind Synthesizer Controller, The Missing Link
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
Note this appears to be the first post to feature the STING Midi Wind Synthesizer.
"Hi, this is Peter Ponzol. Most of you know me as a mouthpiece maker and saxophone designer. I was also a consultant and clinician for Lyricon, the first wind synthesizer. I demonstrated Lyricon at the Frankfurt Music Fair in 1979, 1980 and 1981. In 1985 I was contacted by a Japanese company called Sting. They had made a Lyricon type instrument that was Midi, something Lyricon was not. This allowed you to control any Midi device from the Sting unit. I did some consulting for the company and introduced it at the Frankfurt Music Fair in 1987. The company was small and Sting never became well known. If you know Lyricon, you know Sting. Keys and fingering possibilities are similar. There are some interesting innovations in Sting. For example there is no reed or typical woodwind type of mouthpiece. The mouthpiece is more like that of a recorder and thus much easier for none woodwind players to play. All information is transmitted over Midi except velocity, which is sent analog. I have two control bodies and the so called brain unit, as pictured. I packed these up around 1990 and they have been packed up in storage ever since. I have the original Operation Manual. The electronics brain is 220 volt and will need a voltage converter to 110. I just checked them with a midi unit I have and everything works. The only issue is the RCA jack on one body is loose. I am not an electrician and don't want to try and repair it. I'm sure its a simple thing for someone to fix. The jack works but is loose. These are real collector pieces of equipment. I have never ever seen another one for sale and I'm sure they are really rare. As they are 35 years old the sale will be as is. At the moment everything works as it did when I put them away. Its hard to determine the value as they are so rare. I have seen Lyricons going for $3,000, but I will start the bidding at $995.00. I will only ship to an address in the continental USA. Please do not bid unless you have a US address. I will sell internationally if you have linked your account to Ebay's international shipping service. Please see Ebay for more information. I will list this for one more week. If a buyer is not out there I'll pack it away again for a few years, then it might be worth much more."

Lockdown Modular Sessions - Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 (4k Final Mix)
video upload by John Belew
This one was sent in via John L Rice. One more below. "I've always wanted to do this one since I was young. I blame the Exploratorium commercials during Captain Cosmic on KTVU with Wendy Carlos music. Now that I'm stuck at home, here goes. One of my favorite Bach pieces, almost impossible to play live and just as difficult to mix. Keep creating people!
Details for the eurorack nerds out there ... I pulled out Yarns for this one, but even with the two A4 CV outs, I was only able to do 6 parts. Cello is Klavis and the sub going through Evolution with a touch of distortion so it pops, Viola is Klavis through a Wasp with heavy S/H on the cutoff. Lead violin is the E352 going through an SEM (very Depeche Mode sounding) with the remaining violin parts coming from Chord2 in poly mode going through Belgrad with just enough input clipping that it sounds like a harpsichord at times. Listen to it on real speakers, the voicing really comes together in the third movement. And yes, I added a kick to the first movement, it just seems to work for me.
Lesson learned is how powerful ADSR's are (thanks Peaks x2) instead of just AR's on the Quadra. Recorded the individual tracks on a Zoom L-20, then fine-tuned the mix in Reaper. It's got the right level of rumble to my ears, but I wish I was better at EQ'ing and mastering."

Key Lean - Moog One & Roland Jupiter 4 Live ˃ Making Progressive House
video upload by Key Lean - Live Streaming & Music
"I'm a big fan of synths, live sets and travelling. And that's what my channel is about. Legendary Roland Jupiter 4, Moog One and my Virus Access is quite a good combination to make me happy for a couple of hours. Had not quite clear idea what to play, but decided to put some progressive house chords and sequences.
Added later beat section, some FXs and footage from my last trip throughout Altay, Baikal and Bashkyria. And here you go! Short video with sort of Progressive House music, plus material for potential track!
Roland Jupiter 4 is a veteran made in 1978. In such synthesizers, electrolytic capacitors "dry up" over time, as a result of which they must be well warmed up and tuned every time.
Я большой фанат синтезаторов, лайв сетов и путешествий. И весь мой канал именно об этом. Легендарный Roland Jupiter 4 в сочетании с аналоговым Moog One и моим Virus Access - отличный комплект, чтобы сделать меня счастливым на несколько часов. Не имея полного представления, что исполнять, накидал несколько аккордов и секвенций.
Затем позже добавил ритм секцию, подмешал эффекты и наложил кадры из последнего моего путешествия по Алтаю, Байкалу и Башкирии. И вуа-ля! Имеем небольшое видео и материал для потенциального трека в стиле Progressive House!
Роланд Юпитер 4 - ветеран, был создан в 1978 году. У таких синтезторов со временем "подсыхают" электролитические конденсаторы, вследствие чего их надо каждый раз хорошо прогревать и настраивать."

Listing translation via Google:
"You are bidding on an MS 2600 NG series 009 - a very, very good (ingenious) rare arp 2600 clone with extended features (NG stands for NEW generation) - the condition of the ms 2600 ng is good - the specially developed keyboard or keyboard is as good as new (once unpacked, connected and tested) - the developer or builder hr. matthias beese has practically built all his heart and soul and know-how into these devices - the result is a hammer device with a hammer sound and an infinite number of features (wavetables, sequencers, connection options, etc etc, etc. ,
also thanks to the keyboards specially developed for the synth .....
Of course, this is a self-made system, i.e. DIY. the keyboard was completely set up by mr. matthias beese himself, the synth by a trained electronics technician. if you are looking for something special, far from the mainstream, you will get your money's worth here.
To list all the features here would be too much of a good thing. if you are interested, please go to the homepage of the developer hr.matthias beese.
here you can call up the individual components, structure, list of features and much more.
Here you are bidding on the synth and the associated keyboard and associated accessories (power supply).
Further information, sound samples (you tube or org. homepage), links including an interview with the developer can also be found on the amazona.de homepage.
if you have serious questions or offers please email .... on request I can send more pictures (interior, etc.)

Expanding the Sequential TOM to hold 16 "cartridges"
I bought my TOM a few years ago, and had always intended to make some sort of switch-able cartridge for it. I decided recently that it would be nicer to have everything inside the TOM, if possible, and control it using the TOM user interface. There are two advantages to doing it this way:
1) Cartridges can be selected without unplugging and replacing EPROMs, which can get damaged by ESD or bent pins.
2) Both the internal sounds and the cartridge can be swapped out, so all 15 sounds can be changed, not just the top 7. There are two "slots" - internal and cartridge. Any of the 16 "cartridges" can be placed in either slot. If a cartridge has seven sounds in it, and is placed in the internal slot, button 8 will not make a sound. All of the cartridges I have made have 8 sounds. If they are placed in the internal slot, all 8 are available. If they are placed in the cartridge slot, only the first 7 sounds are available.
The board plugs into one of the internal sound ROM IC sockets, after both chips have been removed. It also needs A15b and A16b which are not available in either socket, so two short wires are used. I use A15b and A16b instead of A15 and A16 to avoid connecting to the Wonder chip signals. Luckily there are eyelets on the TOM board right where I needed them to be for these two signals.
Here is a photo showing the newer version of the pcb, which has a third wire. The original two wires are connected exactly as before, while the third wire attaches to the lower end of the 10K resistor near the battery. I have added a small circuit which should allow inserting a cartridge (for testing) into the TOM while the TOM16 is installed. In this case, the only sounds available would be the ones on the cartridge, as the TOM16 EPROM is disabled.
How does it work? I added code to the TOM V1.6 OS firmware (the final SCI version) to allow selecting cartridges using the std user interface. Once the selection is made, these values are sent using the Wonder chip in a special way to a PIC micro-controller on my board. That chip presents the two cartridge select 4-bit codes to a dual 4:1 mux that feeds the correct one to an 8 Mbit EPROM. I do not plan to release the PIC code, or provide the source for my version of the TOM OS at this time. The only changes that I made to the TOM OS firmware were for TOM16 support. No other changes were made.
I am currently offering fully assembled pcb's for $105 including Priority Mail shipping to USA addresses. If you are outside of the USA, please contact me for the additional shipping cost. In order to install the board in your TOM, you will need to upgrade the (socketed) firmware EPROM with one that I supply. You will also need to remove the two (socketed) sound ROM chips I610 and I611. And finally you will need to carefully solder three wires, (which I will supply) into small holes in the TOM pc board and in my board."
