xpander- Impro

Heavy bass to start. Watch your volume levels if you do turn it up as there are bursts of noise.

via fedaden: "here is a rather noisy and abstract impro made with my oberheim Xpander which i recently repaired thanks to ear from the excelent http://forum.anafrog.com ( french only ) forum..

just a few edits to cut a few dull parts, reverb provided by the cheap but charming midiverb 2..
sometimes the 20 modulations limit is a bit annoying but for a synth from 1984 it's quite okay i guess.."  No other audio processing.

Buchla One Oh One

"a simple Buchla 100 patch (three variations layered onto one track). . ."

1980's AKAI AX80 SYNTHESIZER

via this auction

"This synthesizer is in excellent working condition, and has just been serviced. Brand-new back-up battery has been installed, with factory patches loaded and ready to play. All keys, velocity sensitivity, 8 voices, membrane buttons, VFD screens, alpha-numeric displays, potentiometers, pitch/mod wheels, ins/outs, midi, tape, and chord functions are working great as they should. Cosmetically, this synth is in good condition, with some scuffs/scratches/a few slight indents to the top of the metal case, as well as some chipping on the corners of the side panels to mention (see pics). The AX80 has 8x CEM3372 voice/filter IC's for beautifully lush analog patches, as well as tight-punch, perfect for bass patches. This was AKAI's answer to Oberheim's MATRIX series, and shares many tonal qualities to those synths. Don't pass this one up!!"

ARP 2600

via this auction

"Just in time for the holidays…the one, the only ARP 2600 Synthesizer! You know what this puppy is, what it can do and which Who track it was used on so I’m not going to add anything new here. What I will say is the unit is in excellent condition. It was refurbished and calibrated by Phil Cirroco in 2008: 1 PS ripple: rebuild power supply - hacked badly; 1 VCA is hacked - install 4019 replica; 1 sh is hacked - install a 4015; 1 all board missing mounts - install mounts; 1 bogus APU - install CMS APU: extra work involved; all scratchy sliders - lube; 1 sine wave bad - repair converter; 1 adsr to filter - bad jack - replace; 2 speakers clipping - repair power amps; 6 missing panel washers - replace fiber washers; 24 all PS bypass caps missing - replace; 1 clean FP, inside, lid; 1 calibrate. His rebuild took some 6 months. Part of that, of course, is he’s a pretty sought after tech. But as a note of caution to all you collectors out there, the previous owner of this synth (or maybe someone before her) really screwed up trying to fix the power supply and other modules along with doing a miserable job of doing the audio upgrades. If you want a 2600 on the cheap just be sure you ask the right questions..."
