EMS Synthi A (1971)
images via this auction
"EMS Synthi A. Fully working Synthi A. Mains outlet has been changed for a common 3-prong AC power cable. The case is a composite of 2 front lids. It was supplied by Robin Wood (current owner of EMS). 2 screws are missing in the back and the latches are loose. Now the good thing is, this synthi works perfectly, no cross talk in the matrix, full set of pins and you get the sweet sounding filter of the first edition of the VCS-3. The synthi A is identical to the VCS-3 MK1. It also has separate rows for all osc's in the matrix. Robin Wood has said that he prefers the older synthis (and MK1 VCS-3) over MKII'S and synthi AKS. You can get a cable from Kenton that will make it work with standard CV-Gate (1 volt/octave) gear. It works perfectly! Otherwise this the deepest FX and treatment machine there is. Included is the ORIGINAL manual, a full set of pins and, if you buy it now, I'll include the tutorial called "Playing the Synthi" and the EMS Synthi patch book! This is the synth that is all over Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" and most of Brian Eno's great albums from the 70's. Great reverb, ring modulator, filter and an amazing matrix that lets you explore the signal in a modular way, without the patch cords"

The program comes with four layouts that are organized in multiple pages. We are working on another version of this program with configurable layout and adjustable control behavior and value-range."

"The TG55 Synthesizer, made by Top Gear England. More of a processer similar to the Synthi Hi Fi, but more powerful. Sporting 4 tracking oscilators, insanely good fuzz and a matrix of processing loops. 24 Chicken head knobs!"
