Studio Electronics ObieRack - VEMIA

via this VEMIA auction
"Absolutely wonderful! I'm not sure there is anything on this magnificent machine to give any clue it isn't brand-new, but because it must be 15 years old or more (and the actual SEMs much older) I'll only call it near-mint. Fantastic implementation of MIDI control of two classic SEMs, very rare in any form, and (we think!) even rarer in this beautiful black-faceplate form. One owner from new (Ed Starink) and just completely beautiful in its cosmetic condition and incredible working order and sound. One of THE great synths, and we think Studio Electronics' best adaptation ever! We will pack this very very carefully, as befits something of this quality. Will come with copies of all the user documentation possible."

Studio Electronics-SE1 - VEMIA

via this VEMIA auction

"From Ed Starink's private studio, bought from new, and now at VEMIA for good packing and shipping. Superb condition, both in working and cosmetic order. Apart from a couple of scratches on the top, not visible once the synth is racked, and a little marking on the top left of the left rack ear (possibly white paint, and totally superficial) this is like new. Sounds fantastic, too. With original instruction manual by Greg St. Regis."

Roland-OP8 CV interface for JP-8 - VEMIA


via this VEMIA auction

"From Ed Starink's private studio, bought from new, and now at VEMIA for good packing and shipping. I suddenly see how useful this thing is, if you have a JP-8! It connects to a JP-8 either with the flat ribbon cable included in this lot, or to later machines with a 14-pin D-sub connector. It also comes with a professionally-made mini-snake of eight colour-coded mini-jack leads, and the rare original manual and OC-8 installation instructions (typewritten)."

"Rare and interesting little handmade synth, now discontinued. In virtually mint condition, scarcely used in its three or four years, and certainly never gigged or roughly handled."

Persephone Deluxe Ribbon Controller - VEMIA

via this VEMIA auction
"As new, scarcely used at all (used just once for a project) - a hand-made controller, made in France. Ribbon controller with midi/cv and nice internal synth. A whole lot easier than playing the Theremin, French Connection or Ondes Martenot, but producing equally interesting playing modes. This particular model seems to be the deluxe version, with 'crocodile-skin' covering to its suit-case style casing. Really rare, unusual, and out of the ordinary. The serial number implies it is the eight ever made. Here's the blurb from the Eowave website (where it is still available at 1090 euros plus VAT: about 1025 GBP):- 'At the first sight, the Persephone reminds of the first electronic fingerboard instruments developed in the 1920s. But beyond this vintage look, the Persephone allies sensors technology and digital controls to a pure analogue generation of sound. The Persephone musicality will be determined by the way it is played. The Persephone respects the traditional play of the first non-keyboard electronic instruments with the right hand controlling the pitch and the left hand controlling the velocity. The ribbon zone can allow all kinds of play. When scaled, the Persephone can be played like a regular keyboard. Though there are no fixed preset notes with the ribbon, keyboard players will easily find their way. Guitars and bass players will certainly play it like a chord instrument and get sounds that are closed to cello or violin, especially when using vibratos. Jazz players will enjoy slapping the Persephone’s ribbon to get wonderful sonorities. Movie music writers and fans of sci-fi effects will enjoy its bi-dimensional structure, which allows creating eerie sounds very easily. A new fingerboard synthesizer Just like any synthesizer, the Persephone offers a classical synthesis architecture with an oscillator section, a filter section, a modulation section and a LFO section. With its 100% analogue oscillator, the Persephone can generate notes with a range of 10 octaves. Its lower frequencies go from a deep and resonant cello tone to a nearly human voice. On the highest pitches, it can reach very high frequencies. The oscillator waveform can be set between triangle and sawtooth for a more or less brilliant sound. The filter is a 12dB low-pass filter. Its ribbon control surface is pressure and position sensitive. While it requires the most advanced sensor technology and allows all kind of glissando a Theremin or les Ondes Martenot would allow. A scaling potentiometer allows scaling the Persephone’s ribbon from 1, 2, 5 to 10 octaves. The expression key, controlled by an optic sensor, can transmit the slightest vibrations on the key with an accuracy the mechanical systems never had. All the controls are digital. The four play modes - A, B, C and D - offer different hierarchy of control between the pitch, the velocity, a filter modulation and a LFO. Connections are located on the rear side of the front panel and are protected from dust and other source of deterioration by the Persephone suitcase top when not used. The Persephone like a CV/MIDI controller The Persephone has a CV out and a MIDI in/out. With its CV out, it can control any other analogue synthesizers and modular systems. With its MIDI in/out, it can also be used as a MIDI controller, what turns it into a powerful new kind of instrument.'"

Sherman-Quad Modular Filterbank - VEMIA

via this VEMIA auction

"One of only 95 (and actually serial number 03, so presumably the third ever made), the mammoth four-MIDI-Filterbanks-in-one machine from Sherman. In excellent condition, with the front panel looking unused, and just a couple of slight marks on the back and side. With copy manual for the Filterbank 2, on which it's based; with extra info from Sherman about the new features on the QMF. http://www.sherman.be/qmf.htm Uses standard IEC mains lead (not supplied)."

Sycologic M16 MIDI Matrix - VEMIA


via this VEMIA auction

"A bit tatty, and missing its 9-pin D-sub connector lead, so sold as is. But no reason known why it shouldn't be working. It is a very useful programmable 16-in 16-out MIDI switcher / patchbay, made by the famous synth sellers and Fairlight importers, Syco. Has standard IEC mains socket."
