"This synthesiser is a rarity. There can only be a handful left. It has a classic CEM chip sound from the old analogue synths of the eighties. It is 6 note polyphonic with an adorable multi trigger oscillator glide as well as the usual analogue polysynth features. It also has an octave modulation facility which I have not seen any place else. It has a built in organ feature with separate outs for it and the polysynth section. As well as other sockets such as release etc... It is just out the the workshop where it had a service and all its keys were balanced. It is sounding huge!"

Super Rare PPG EVU with MIDI, latest 8.3 OS For Sale
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

"Ever wanted a PPG in a box?
Now is your chance and it may be your one and only chance!
The EVU is basically a PPG 2.2 with the 2.3 voice boards in a rack format. You have all of that glorious PPG sound, lose the bulk and mushy keyboard, and gain pan and level controls for all 8 voices.
This EVU has been well cared for, has the Virtual Music 8.3 OS upgrade, which gives it a much more responsive MIDI capability along with a host of additional features. If you're not familiar with the OS update, check out a summary here.
The EVU has a switch for 115/230 so it can be used easily in most countries by simply flipping the switch. A compact rack format with all the controls on the front gives you a lot of creative control. You can use the stereo outs, individual voice outs, or a mix and pan the voices around the stereo field as needed.
These units in any condition are rare, and to find one with MIDI and the updated OS is ultra rare. Don't sleep on this opportunity."

Yamaha Classic CS80

"The Yamaha CS80 synthesizer hardly needs introduction.
If you're viewing this listing you'll already know why it's such a beautiful instrument; arguably the pinnacle of analogue polysynth design, which has never been bettered by any manufacturer in the last 40 years.
Its polyphonic aftertouch, combined with its easy user-interface makes it something musically unique to this day.
Anyone buying a CS80 knows its reputation. It's a serious investment and it's also increasing in value as the years roll by. I am pricing this to reflect the considerable work and expense I've put into this particular instrument to make it one of the best CS80s around. Everyone has a price where letting something go makes sense. I love this instrument and have decided I simply wouldn't part with my CS80 for less, so am avoiding the 'Make Offer' option. Here are the reasons:
1. My one was serviced by Dusty Miller (Yamaha, Vangelis' technician) in the 90s and he put in the last, most stable VCO chips into every voice card, so it is - for a CS80 analogue polysynth - pretty stable.
2. It has extra modulation controls by the ribbon controller to add even more timbral variation to the sound if desired. (I didn't add these by the way: I bought it in 1995 with them already fitted.)
3. I have just had it serviced at great length by Andy a.k.a. Synth Prof in Suffolk UK who knows the CS80 very well, has checked it over and calibrated the key touch and also fixed the ring modulator circuit. He also replaced the ribbon controller spring with a brand new one hand-wound to minute tolerance, and generally given the instrument a full service.
4. Whilst it was at his workshop I also had it fitted with a Kenton MIDI kit which is seriously cool.
So, I've done all the TLC: it is good to go and do serious future studio work.
If you're looking for a mint CS80 in extremely good condition for its age, with its original chrome legs and case, then in all modesty this is probably one of the nicest examples that is going to be around anywhere."

"One of three highly modified AKS used by Britain's first all synthesizer band Zorch since 1972. This one is probably the most modified and widely gigged Synthi A and is still in regular use with the original owner."

Doepfer A-180-3 Dual Buffered Multiple Announced
via PatchPierre.Net
"Following the many requests in the Doepfer Yahoo-group, Doepfer announced today that an A-180-3 Dual Buffered Multiple will soon be released.
Module A-180-3 is a dual buffered 1-in-3 multiple.
The signal applied to the input socker appears as a buffered signal at the three output sockets.
Each output has it's own buffer, i.e. the three output sockets are not simply connected to each other. The lower output of the upper unit is normalled to the input of the lower unit.
That way the module works as a single 1-in-6 buffered multiple provided that no signal is applied to the input of the lower unit.
Application: copying/buffering of control and audio signals.
Update by Dieter: "the prototype pcb of the dual buffered multiple (A-180-3) arrived and has been tested. As expected no problems occured. The
module will be released about September 2015. The price will be the same as the A-138u because it very similar (i.e. Euro 50)"

"Patch Touch: for Oberheim Matrix is a patch editor for the Oberheim Matrix-1000, Matrix-6, and Matrix-6r synthesizers. If you have one of these synths then this is the editor for you! Patch Touch gives you touch-based control over all of the voice parameters on your Matrix. Just make a change on the screen, and the change is instantly sent to your synthesizer.Patch Touch has been designed to give you access to as much as possible all on a single screen, making it easier to change and understand the structure of your patch.
Here are some more features:
* Copy/Paste envelopes
* Create random patches
* Copy the current patch from your synth to your iOS device, for further editing
* Save your patch from Patch Touch to the memory on your synth!
* Play the synth using the app's built-in mini-keyboard (with aftertouch support)
Use this app either with a MIDI adapter for your iOS device, or via a wireless MIDI connection to your Mac or PC, with your Matrix synthesizer connected to your Mac or PC via MIDI.
Requirements
* An Oberheim Matrix-1000/6/6r synthesizer
* A MIDI adapter for your iOS device, OR a Mac or PC connected to your Matrix via MIDI and a wi-fi connection between your Mac or PC and your iOS device.
NOTE: This app does NOT make any sound! It's just an editor for your Matrix. If you don't have a Matrix synthesizer, this app won't do anything useful for you.
This app is not affiliated or endorsed by Oberheim. It's just an app I made to fill a need!"
