Vends Synthétiseur Analogique Exagone Polyless

via this auction
"C'est à contre coeur que je m'en sépare. J'aime particulièrement ses basses au LFO, les motifs rythmiques qu'on peut faire tourner fitrés genre TB303, et les nappes brillantes.

Moitié presets, moitié VCO/Filtre/LFO... Mixage des signaux etc. (voir photos)

Fabriqué en France au début des années 80, ce synthé ne court pas les rues. Clavier accordéon vite apprivoisé. C'est un très beau synthé, et une pièce de collection.

A part un peu de nettoyage de certains potards qui crachotent un TOUT petit peu, il est nickel. Livré dans son flight-case.

Remise en main propre sur Paris."

Googlish: "It is against my heart that I let it go. I especially like his bass to the LFO, the rhythmic patterns that can be turned Fitr TB303 kind, and bright tablecloths.

Half presets, half VCO / Filter / LFO ... Mixing signals etc.. (See photos)

Made in France in the early 80s, this synth does not run the streets. Keyboard accordion quickly tamed. It's a great synth, and a collector's item.

Apart from a little cleaning up some knobs that a WHOLE crachotent little, it is nickel. Arrives in a flight case.

Hand delivered to Paris. "

SK50D Yamaha Multi Synth

via this auction

"According to the Owner's Manual… The SK50D is basically composed of six sections: upper and lower organ, poly-synth, strings, bass, and solo synthesizer. Each of these sections can function as a completely independent instrument, or they can be combined and mixed to any desired degree of balance to create ensemble effects.

According to SK50D Users... It has got a [Hammond-like] 9 drawbar organ, monophonic bass synth ; a woofer killer bass with sine 3 oscillators . It has got a monophonic solo synth that can be layered with the bass synth for even more power (and it responds to aftertouch!). There is a fully programmable 7 note polyphonic analog synth with VC LPF and resonance and it has three presets, and a 7 note polyphonic analog string synth It is a very rare instrument. Very playable with lovely key action...

Each section has separate outputs, plus there's a mixed output, and a headphone output. There's even a direct Leslie tone cabinet connection that makes for a truly unbelievable combination (see the video links below)! [at the auction or see this post and this post]

Here's a link to the Owner's Manual. Here's a band [natural sympathy orchestra] that uses the SK50D extensively in performance [bottom pic]"
