Listen in stereo.

KORG Prophecy's on eBay

"KORG PROPHECY Synth Demo, Part 1 of a 2 Part video series on my favorite patches, and a 'walkthrough.' of programming changes. Be sure to watch for Part 2 of this series, and Part 2 of a deeper video series on programming soon to follow.

The KORG PROPHECY was among the first "Virtual Analog" synthesizers from the mid to late 90s, and is one of my favorite synths due to it's truly extensive architecture. It remains one of the more complex and unique sounding 'Physical Modeling' Synthesizers ever made."

Extremely rare HAMMOND 102200 vintage analog Synthesizer vs Darth NoiseLabCH

Published on Sep 22, 2014 NoiselabCH

"Recorded live with an EDEN Bassamp and an IPhone, without any external effects...

One of a few still working HAMMOND 102200 preset Synthesizer explored by Darth NoiseLabCH. A widely unknown vintage analog monophonic synthesizer built in 1974. HAMMOND did only build 200 of this classic preset synth. Similar to ROLAND SH-2000, ELKA Soloist, ARP Soloist etc. the HAMMOND 102200 was intended to stay on top of an organ.

1 Osc only, but organ like divide is possible, so you have in fact a pseudo-3-Osc VCO, add noise and you have unexpected possibilities. However, I guess Hammond did not plan to press more than 2 Regs at once, pressing three together is a pain. My intention was not to damage it, so in following sound examples no more than 2 are used.

The six presets are not bad, but you can't use them with the 49 press-buttons for VCO, VCF, VCA settings (Yes, no slider or knobs except for Wind/Noise, Volume and Tune). So to get something out of this machine you need to to 'cancel' the presets to enter manual mode. All sounds presented are in manual mode exept short preset examples at the end of the vid.

Definitely a underrated Synth, well, only 200 built

As usual pretty bad keyboard play, laying focus on sound creation ;-)"

Korg Polysix KLM-367A PCB Assembly

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This auction is for a new Korg Polysix KLM-367 PCB Assembly. If you are looking I'm sure you know this is the infamous PCB Assembly that gets damaged from the NiCd battery corrosion. The PCB is the popular clone from Jed Jorgensen The PCB is professionally assembled and includes all of the components except for the uPD8048C-345 Mask ROM that must being transferred from another board (presumably the old board it will replace). All IC's are placed in machined IC sockets. The board has a high capacity CR2450 Lithium battery for several decades of memory backup.

All of the components on the PCB are new except for the following:
The uPD8048C-345 Mask ROM is not placed. A socket is installed and waiting for a donor.
The two LM13600 dual OTA's may be new or re-used. When the original Korg selected LM13600's are working and show no signs of corrosion they are re-used. When they are not working or show sings of corrosion they are replaced with new LM13700's.

The NTC Thermistor is re-used from the old board.
The connectors are re-used from the old board as they are no longer available.
The PCB assembly is tested on a test unit and is guaranteed working. If you have a Polysix that is no longer working and has battery corrosion the new PCB assembly may fix the problem. The board is plug and play and can be swapped out with little effort, although I would caution that you still need the correct tools & test equipment to successfully calibrate the new board. For this reason I would also advise to have it fitted by an experienced tech as calibration can be tricky and they will also be able to identify other issues. You should not assume that if you have a non-working Polysix with battery corrosion that the corroded PCB is the only problem.

If you do decide to install it yourself and you are not very experienced I would make sure at the very least to check the power supply voltages before plugging in the new board. If you get so far as having swapped out the board only to turn on the unit and find the program and bank LED's are randomly lit and it doesn't work right.. this is generally directly related to the calibration of the KLM-367A. You must complete the calibration procedure before the Polyix will operate correctly.

If you want to return your old board to me I am usually interested in buying it back for a 'core' refund of $35 plus postage so I can re-use the connectors and thermistor on a future build.

Please do not contact me during or after the auction to inquire about additional PCB assemblies. This is not a profitable venture and I only make a few extras to help out the synth community when I need one or two. Anytime I have one available it will be listed on Ebay."

"Cynthia accomplished an amazing feat with this truly unique module. These are very hard to find in Frac Format. I waited 2 years for this one. Sadly, I just don't use it like it should be used. Here's a great chance to get your FracRack Zeroscillator for about $245.00 cheaper than retail and you'll have it in a few days. Worked when I tested it. I know of no defects or problems with the module. Always been in a pet free and smoke free studio. I am the first and only owner/user.

This sale includes:
Zeroscillator.
Power cable, FracRack standard.
See the Cyndustries site or other fine modular synthesizer dealers for more details."

Duet No.5 for Synthesizer and The Singing Ringing Tree

Published on Sep 22, 2014 John Keston

"This is the fifth selection from takes during a five day recording session and performance series at the Singing Ringing Tree (SRT) in Burnley, UK, a wind activated musical panopticon in Northern England. The sculpture was designed by architects Tonkin Liu and completed in December 2006. I performed accompaniment for the SRT binaural recordings simultaneously using a Novation Bass Station II connected to a USB battery. I also ran the Bass Station II through a Moog Minifooger Delay.

NOTE: This is a binaural recording combined with a monophonic synthesizer track. Although it sounds great through speakers, circumaural headphones must be used to experience the binaural effect.
