Rheem Kee Bass

images via this auction

"This item up for bid is the Rheem Kee Bass monophonic bass synthesizer. The Rheem company better known for their water heaters made 2 organs, the larger Mark VII and the strictly bass note model the Kee Bass. The Kee Bass was made in the late 1960's. This unit is in it's own carrying case that closes up like a suitcase (see photo)... This is essentially a 2 octave analogue organ that only plays bass notes. This is a mono phonic unit with high note priority meaning that if you play two notes at the same time it will only play the higher of the two. The Sustain/Percussion tab functions like this: Switched to "Sustain", it plays like a regular organ - press a key and it sounds continuously until you release it. Switched to "Percussion", it plays like a piano. Press and hold a key, and the sound dies out; how fast depends on the setting of the Decay Slow/Fast switch. In percussion mode the fade out of a note will sometimes continue on to the next note you play so you have to let the note fade before playing another note. The Bass Booster, Mellow/Bright and Fuzz tabs do what you'd expect, although the Mellow/Bright is a pretty subtle effect."

Fourth Annual Austin Analog Synthesizer Party Texas

via Chad A on AH:

"That's right: the Fourth Annual Austin Analog Synthesizer Party is coming up this Sunday. I hope to see many of you Texans on this list at the Salvage Vanguard Theater on 2803 Manor Road at 3pm this Sunday, the 16th.

I will likely bring my Sequential Circuits Pro-One, Korg MS-20 and accessories, and collection of analog drum machines (in lieu of the modular). In years past we've had a bunch of great synths, both DIY and vintage, including a polyphonic Blacet modular, a Crumar Spirit, an EMS VCS3, a Tridex Muse clone on a breadboard, and an ARP 2600.

This year, after the party, there will be performances by local synthesizer bands, starting at 7pm. Performing will be:
Douglas Ferguson: http://www.myspace.com/douglasferguson
Operation Playmate: http://www.myspace.com/operationplaymate
Low Red Center: http://www.myspace.com/lowredcenter

If you are bringing a synthesizer, please also bring a stand, a power strip or extension cord, and headphones.

See y'all at the biggest synthesizer meet in Texas."
