Haruo Yamashita's Vintage DIY Modular Featured at the 2015 Japanese Analog Synth Builders' Summit

This year's ASBS15 event was held on Saturday, November 28. You'll find pics of the event here and here. Of particular interest was a vintage DIY Modular by Haruo Yamashita. This is actually the first post on MATRIXSYNTH to feature the system. The links below will take you to more info.

via Sam Hoshuyama who attended the event:

"The greatest thing this year was a booth displaying the original modular synth of the legendary SDIY papers published in 1977 by Haruo Yamashita. They were issued as a series of magazine articles, and have been a legend for 30 years. They were recently published in November as a book with a new description and new schematics using modern components. The booth was invited after the publication. You can find Yamashita's site here."

via the seller: "I’m the sole owner of this cool synthesizer module, i got it brand new when it was current (probably around 2001-2003) and used it lightly since then. This is my 2nd unit and i mostly used the other one. Never gigged, only used in my non smoking home. I always was very gentle with it. It has the latest OS (1.11 R34) on it.

It’s a very nice synth with a unique sound, the filter distorts in a non linear way that i have not heard any software imitation emulate.

No visible scratches on it, all knobs feel smooth and buttons are all responsive as they should. It’s not brand new but it is in mint condition.

The unit works very well but please be aware that sometimes after using it for many hours, it turned silent. I had to switch it off and on again. It did this a few times when i was using it a while ago but i could not reproduce it when i tested it for 90 minutes before packing it. It could happen again or it could be a bug that occurred under my specific use case.

It is complete with original 120 volts power adapter, box, manual and there’s still the registration sheet with it."
