SMS - Salamander Music Systems Data Sheets



via John Loffink on AH:

"I have posted data sheets for Salamander Music Systems modular synthesizers, from around 1980. There are 30 pages, scanned at 150 dpi, all in one zipped file. Most of this information is excerpted in the excellent SMS web site.

Roland System 100 Cyborg with PPG Sequencer

You might remember this one from this post. Title link takes you to the full gallery on Aliens Project. The PPG is on the top left of the shot.

"128 polyphonic voices, 32 midi tracks sequencer, 16 real time control knobs, 24 bit multi FX, 50 filters types, loads of arpégiators, 6 outputs + SPDIF etc: The last and greastest of E-mu's rack module!"

Sequential Circuits Pro-One with Synthwood Case


Click here for shots via this auction.

"Sequential Circuits Pro One, serial number 6247. This is the superior and reliable J-wire keyboard model with the chassis mounted power supply. As the photos show, the control panel is immaculate. All knobs are original and just a couple have some slight fading of the white indicator line. As shown in the photos, there is some tape residue around the serial number sticker - mentioned for complete accuracy sake. Please be aware that there are some photos with camera flash wash-out/glare that just prove I'm a lousy photographer!

During the process of transplanting this into the new case, ALL rubber key bushings were replaced, so the keyboard plays like a dream. Additionally, all pots and switches were triple-flushed with Caig CaiLube MCL (Moving Contact Lubricant) 5% spray to fully clean all dust and old lube out. After that, every pot and switch was then lubed with Caig CaiLube MCL 100% spray to assure smooth, noise-free operation - and that they do!

The solid cherry case was made by Synthwood, who sells here on eBay, and includes the custom Dave Smith wheel box with clear pitch and mod wheels. Not only are the wheels nice and chunky, but the pitch wheel has spring return to center, which the originals did not have (they had a center detent). Not to disparage Synthwood in any way, but the beautiful finish you see here was done by me - I felt the synth deserved nothing less than a "furniture-like" finish. I painstakingly progressively sanded the case, ending at 400 grit, then hand applied a light cherry tinted Tung oil finish (two coats of color, one of clear). It turned out stunning, if I do say so myself. I also replaced the case screws with longer, proper wood screws for strength and aesthetics. The case alone, without MY beautiful finish job, will cost you $325.00 + $25.00 shipping, and a degree of custom fitting is required.

A custom made LeCover dust cover is included; the Pro One has ALWAYS been covered when not in use.

If you're looking at a Pro One of this caliber, you already know all the technical details of the synth itself, so I won't drone on with those. Suffice it to say, this Pro One is an amazing synth - sounds amazing, works perfectly and looks phenomenal. The investment I have in this in both time and money is staggering, any buyer will certainly get a bargain at any price. The cost to build one like this today, in materials alone, would be around $1,200.00 if you had to buy the donor Pro One as well."

"I met this machine in hamburg." If anyone has more info on what this is, feel free to comment.

Kitty said what?

You might have seen the following videos. My wife showed me the Pug one about a week ago. What's interesting about these is that they actually came from someone in the synth community. Via nadafarms on VSE:

"So I got asked to do "viral" marketing for a company on youtube... I followed the Ancient formula: 808+Synth+Kitties+Rap+Animation = success. I got featured last week on the main page! 2 million views... Don't hate me... I just did what I knew would work. Not much synth on those tracks, lots of 808 kick and jomox kick. I will be sneaking in as much vintage synth stuff as I can from now on."
