Tangerine Dream Sequencer EEH + Dynacord Sequencer Big Brain

via hellmusic

These are located in Hamburg Germany and are for sale. If interested send email to the via at yahoo.de.

Update via Qwave in the comments: "This EEH DS500 hybrid sequencer was not commissioned by Tangerine Dream. But the huge EEH CM4 was seen in Chris Franke's rack in the eighties. And Klaus Schulze used the CM2 during the Audentity recordings. Klaus was once pictured with an unconnected DS500 on his mixing board.

Here is some additional information about the EEH DS500: http://till-kopper.de/eeh.html

And the little company EEH came from Wuppertal, Germany. They went off the market (bankrupt?) before releasing their last project: a rack sampler with the transposing wihtout changing the timing like on all other comcercial samplers before. But it was not released. I think this was before the white Akai samplers were released. This was stone age of sampling then. more then 25 years ago."

"Just noticed a modification on the pictured unit in the posting: the original power switch was where the srew near the "PW" is seen on the back. And it appears to be modificated to sit on the very top right of the panel. Right to the bypass switch."

Vintage PIN - CRUMAR - Synthesizer

Crumar ds2

via this auction
"The ds2 is a very rare ( 500 made ) crumar synth which has digital ( , fat . raspy saw , pure square and lovely sine thats unlike any analogue i heard ) analogue filters , 2 x lfo , weird lfo shapes and to top it off a 44 key string synth section ( which works at the same time as the main osc's for sublime chord tuned keys.)

Creatively this machine is freaks synth or one for retro heads , the 2 lfo's and mod matrix make this not unlike the sequential pro 1 at times but way more complex ( it has ladder / staircase and s/h random lfos' which take you straight into star trek / bbc radiophonic territory)The machines string section makes super cheesy and cool 60's and 70's pad sounds and just plain psychedelic wavering timbres very similiar to the boards of canada stuff , you know those detuned and weavy psychedelic tones.The machine also excels at leads from thin and tonal to fat and pwm ones and as it has 2 main osc's it can play chord leads that go from classic rave tones to crazy jazz tones , it can emulate a moog lead with ease , really its very moogish.The machine also reminds me alot of the Oxford oscar , it has a very very similiar tone to the oscar at times , a rough and ready filter and a resonance that sqwarks like a banshee , it self resonates and the filter will then act as a osc and track perfectly.I should also mention the lush pink and white noise section ( which again just adds to this machine )The machine i feel outdoes many analogues , its osc's are really mean and fat , they dont sound digital ! but do at times have a slight plastic tone which is what makes the machine sound so cool and psychedelic."
