Sequential Prophet 5 Rev 3.2 / 3.3 Full midi

via this auction

"Rev 3.2 Prophet 5 with full midi installed (including rare velocity sensitive functionality not found on all midi prophet 5's )Now i should make it clear that the difference between this and a rev 3.3 is 80 memory locations But i should also state that this can be upgraded to 3.3 rev status very easily by replacement of a chip in the prophet 5 which mosy synth techs can do ( its outlined how to upgrade a 3.2 to 3.3 in service manuals ) and also that the 3.2 and 3.3 are identical in every other way .A 3.2 is a 3.3 without the larger memory chip...

Ok so now the sound , i dont need to talk it up , these things sound legendary , fat , warm , creamy , resonant , all words used a million times to describe analogue circuits but seriously if you havent heard a real prophet 5 then it is a bit of a heartmelting experience , every range of sounds it does its stunning , the low end is smooth and the highs crystal clear and when you dial in the unison mode it can blow your speakers apart if your not carefull , its resonant filter and the osc sync combined make the most incredible metalic harmonics which sing , they dont 'resonate ' they sing and this is one of the most subtle and beautifull synths you can buy.Its range of sounds is wide, the prophet 5 was used for many star wars fx and Pads and the ambient spaces in the film , its a blinding machine for ambient work but equally good for mean dance music , it can be off the wall or do all those classic 80's sounds.Yellow magic orchestra and Peter gabriel , Japan , you name them , they used one and dialing through the presets gives an instant ' so thats where they got ' that' sound ' experience..."

Polymoog 3-Band Resonator for Sale/Auction

via Elhardt on the Moog Forum
"I've been going back and forth as to whether I want to sell this thing because even though that was my original intention, the end result is a beautiful, one-of-a-kind, stand-alone unit, that I put quite a bit of work into extricating from my Polymoog and getting it built. It's essentially a 3 Band Variable Formant Filter for all kinds of tonal modifications, similar to the Polyfusion module that somebody just put up on ebay, but the Polymoog Resonator can also switch the filters into lowpass and hipass modes in addition to bandpass, and it covers a greater range of frequencies. See links for Polyfusion comparison:

I was originally going to put it up at $550 + shipping (Paypal preferred, I'm located in Cary, NC and can also be picked up for cash), but the only way to give more people a shot at buying it, since there's only one of these on the planet, is to allow them to bid on it if they want to pay more than that amount. So it goes up here at the initial bid of $550. If somebody offers that amount and nobody else bids, it's yours. I'll give it about a week (bid increments of a minimum of $10). For anybody not a member of the Moog Forum, you can email me with a bid and I can post that to the thread. If it doesn't sell, it will probably go on ebay, or maybe I'll end up keeping it for a while. A bunch of pictures are at the link below, and it includes everything you see in the 3rd photo down (Resonator, Power Supply, and a couple of 1/4" cables).

I can be contacted at my last name, which is my Moog Forum user name, same as my last name, followed by @att.net (just to avoid those internet scanning spambots) for those not registered on the Moog Forum who might have questions or want to bid.

ARP Quadra

via this auction

"It is roughly the size of a jupiter 8 but much lighter, It consists of four sections that can be mixed together or played independently. These consist of bass, which can either be a string bass or synth bass, synth bass having basic filtering, you can get either plucky bass or wide fat bass by combining these in different ways. next is strings, which is very similar to an arp solina, although not quite identical, it is very close, and not at all like arp omni strings as some people have said. The polysynth section is probably taken from an arp omni, but that's okay because it sounds really good even though its not true poly, and it has the nice arp 4075 filter. Finally the mono synth section is a two voice synth, which sounds like a newer odyssey, you set the tuning interval by pressing an interval button and pressing the key you want to transpose the pitch to, it works well and is faster than trying to tune with a slider.

The mono synth also has some other nice featues, like a latching arpeggiator and independent glide controls, and a unique envelope. The patch memory is a bit weird, but it is useful, you can turn on and off sections as part of a patch as well as the routing, as in which parts are going to the phaser or not. Everybody talks about how great the phaser is on these things and it definitely is all the hype and then some, it is incredible, its more of a combination of flanging and phasing. the only thing i've heard i can compare it to is the obscure tau pipe phaser"
