"Fully restored in Santa Cruz by an Moog expert. Serial number 56XX. Updated oscillator board. FULL restoration. Everything works perfectly. Every cap, every key, every connection. Do not pay 7,000 for a minimoog. At 4k you can play this keyboard and get all your money back plus some if you decide to go a different direction. "Flippers" have flooded the market with over priced Moogs. There is nothing wrong with this instrument. Everything is right with it! It even smells good (not musty)..."
"What can I say? Here is the rarest of the rare Gleeman. Only around 50 made. Rare does not make a synth "good" it just makes it rare. If you ask around you will find that the Gleeman sounds incredible. I have owned two in my life. This is the 2nd. Both in black. They also come in clear, but those are even more rare, but who cares about "rare" they sound incredible and a ton of attention to detail went into their manufacture. The keyboard action feels great, the controls are intuitive. I purchased this directly from the man himself in his garage. It is one of the first two made (I believe).."
"Fully functioning, retains sound settings in memory, plays great, and is very clean. Has been professionally maintained and serviced. Comes with a custom spandex dust cover."
Update: Note this appears to be a FutureRetro listing.
"This is the Moog Voyager Old School edition, limited to just 500 units.
This unit is in like new condition, only used a couple hours total in a professional studio setting. Comes with everything you would expect if buying this item brand new... manuals still wrapped, power chord, all original packaging and boxes (both instrument box, and master shipping carton).
Works perfectly, and looks like new, very clean!"
Update: Note this appears to be a FutureRetro listing.
"In this video I Tweak preset 801 on the Prophet 6 Synth (unmodified 301) in real time.
It starts out as a Mono sound. Most of the variations involve changing values in the Sub Osc Section & Mod Wheel interactions. There are some changes to the Aftertouch & PolyMod sections. Recorded direct to Zoom Q3HD unedited 8-22-15 at about 11:30pm CST."
MoonBox - DIY Raspberry Pi 2 Synthesizer powered by SunVox Virtual Modular Music Studio
Published on Aug 6, 2015
"No music to listen here. Just my low or no playing skills. This is rather about demoing some of the Analog Generator patches of SunVox. First part shows some of the default template sounds, second shows a bit of knob twiddling and a few quick patches I made from the simple 'analog' template I prepared and mapped to 16 knobs of the MoonBox. But SunVox can do a lot more!"
via the forum:
"Let me introduce you the SunVox powered Raspberry Pi 2 standalone synthesizer. The idea was to have dedicated machine/box with SunVox including some knobs. Like a real synth. This vision was maturing in my head for some time but the trigger were NightRadio's comments about upcoming MIDI CC support in 1.9 before the beta was released. I've collected all the building blocks but I was still missing the enclosure. For some time I was designing a custom made 'ponoko' box to be laser-cut. But then I got too impatient and searched through available stuff at home. Wine box for the win :-D
The synth is so far consisting of these bits:
Raspberry Pi 2 B
IQ Audio PiDAC+
5.0" 40-pin TFT Display - 800x480 with Touchscreen
TFP401 HDMI/DVI Decoder to 40-Pin TTL Breakout - With Touch
40-pin FPC Extension Board + 200mm Cable
Guts of the old Evolution UC16 USB MIDI controller (only the main and pot control board)
A bunch of nuts, bolts, spacers and wooden wine box.
Further improvements are still on the todo list:
* jack outputs for L, R and headphones mounted to the rear side of the box
* 5-DIN MIDI I/O connectors on the rear side - realized via USB<>MIDI cable
* some USB ports exposed on the rear side - mounting small USB hub
* power switch + connector on the rear side
* HW volume encoder for PiDAC+ on the top side
* main out GPIO LED volume indicators (this is optional)
* final paint and design tuning
A few notes to the design. RasPi needs to be powered with 2000 mAh adapter to feed all the peripherals. PiDAC+ gives you really powerful and clean sound, also for hungrier headphones. RasPi 2 with stock Raspian OS with ALSA (no realtime kernel, no JACKD, no performance tweaks except disabled CPU power-saving) is able to play decent SunVox synths with 11ms latency without compromising the sound - not ideal but already playable. Lowering the buffer to 5ms introduces occasional noise cracks. I'll try to play with the OS tweaks later but I might stick to ALSA as it is supported by PiDAC+ volume encoder routine. Display is connected via HDMI and USB cables (I'm waiting for shorter and flat HDMI cable). HDMI delivers the image, USB powers the display and touch board. UC16 MIDI controller is connected also via USB (not on the photos above). The only connection hack will be soldering wires to PiDAC+ so I get the normal jack connectors. Current cinch connectors are fine but the placement is not ideal. I want to keep all the 'internal' connections inside the box and expose only the stuff that has to interface outer world and if I would expose the cinch through the rear side, also the HDMI cable would stick out and then coming back which is not desired. The front panel will need some locking or support mechanism, ideally in various angles. The whole thing reminds the Roland's 'Plug-Out' system. You prepare the synth/composition/patch on PC/tablet/phone and then load it to the box if you don't want to mess around with the small screen. But it's actually nicely usable in the box as well as you all know from your own SunVox-on-phone experience. Sun bless Alex for his perfect and scalable UI. RasPi is configured to boot and load up the SunVox automatically, opening the last session. Like a real synth :)
Do you guys have any cool name ideas for the synth? Right now I call it simply SunSynth but that's too obvious. Some link to the SunVox would be cool but maybe something more esoteric :)
Alex, THANK YOU for such a great piece of software! Btw, I hope you don't mind if I put the SunVox logo on the box when it's finished?.."
A little 80's influenced semi-improvised pop jam. It was recorded as two separate videos and then fused together.
The vocal samples on the kaosspad are me "singing":
A. Dance with the color blind
B. Look for the bottom line
C. Listen to the sky
D. Tell me you're a firefly
Hardware:
Roland SH-101
Roland TR-8
Analogue Solutions Oberkorn MK3*
Korg KaossPad
Moog MF-104M analog delay moogerfooger (used on the SH-101).
* The Oberkorn was just used as a way to sync TR-8's clock to the SH-101, I just ran a sequencer gate from the oberkorn to the SH-101's Gate input. It's overkill in this case but it's the only piece of gear I had that could do this."
"The Nord MicroModular is a polyphonic virtual analog synthesizer. It sounds and performs like an analog synthesizer, but without the usual synthesis hardware. The actual sound is made via DSP hardware but you design and program the sounds yourself via the PC and MAC programming software. (The software is not included in this auction but found via the link below.)
MicroModular can simulate a large modular synthesizer, with about 110 modules. You can patch and program them in the computer and save them in the MicroModular. On the MicroModular are three knobs that can be prgrammed to control any parameter, like filter or resonance or whatever you want. After the MicroModular is programmed, unhook it and take it with you. It can be played via any midi controller, keyboard or otherwise.
The sound is warm and smooth. It can also sound like a classic analog synth or Yamaha's FM-synthesizers. Or it can be a Vocoder or a bizarre delay unit. Almost anything you can think of and program yourself. At the front of the MicroModular you'll find MIDI in/out and PC in/out (MIDI) for the communication with the computer program. The sounds change in real time when you edit them with the computer. Then you can release the MicroModular from the computer connection and use it independently of the computer. There is a stereo pair audio out and a stereo pair in for connection of extern audio source, for instance a microphone. Then you can use the MicroModular as a Vocoder."
Used in very good condition, fully functional, well taken care of.
Purchased in/around 1987 from Rogue Music in NYC.
Comes with a power cord.

Updates done for all four SEMs:
Carbon track circuit board of VCO Frequency potentiometers have been replaced with board from CTS Electronic 450 series potentiometer.
