Another Moog Prodigy Restoration (by Synthpro) & New Expansion Pedal in the Works

Published on May 24, 2016 synthpro

Note at 2:40 he mentions a new expansion pedal he is working on.

"Hi everyone,

This is another sick prodigy that now has a new look on life, it was in very rough shape when I got it but now sings great.

The wood was spray painted black and oscillator 2 had a tracking issue.

The oscillator issue was a bad current source, it was holding temp but the actual voltage to current conversion circuits were too weak to deliver the needed current to drive the oscillator correctly.

Now all is well as you can see and really proud with the outcome.

Thanks for watching,
Jareth"

Korg EX-800 Vintage Programmable Analog Synth Module w/ Orig Box SN 002127

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

via this auction

"Up for sale is Korg EX-800 Analog Programmable Polyphonic synthesizer / sound module, a rack-mount version of the classic POLY-800.

The unit appears to be functioning fine as being tested, all the knobs and buttons working fine, including writing program and sequencer functions.

Cosmetically the unit is in beautiful near mint condition as you can see. There are only some very minor signs of wear and usage, and obviously have been looked after very well. I'm including plenty of pictures so you can see exactly how it looks.

Comes in Original Korg EX-800 Box.
I'm also including the Original Korg KAC-301 AC adapter that works on 100V, and Original Rack Ears that seems unused."

Access Virus Indigo synthesizer (37-note Virus B) with custom hard road case

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

via this auction

"First released in late 2000, the Access Virus Indigo offered players a uniquely powerful, versatile and hands-on virtual analog synth in a compact package.

15 years on, it's a classic – but not just for nostalgia. Compare it with similar new synths and you'll notice its powerful synthesis engine, flexible input/output processing and revered modulation matrix (in particular) continue to hold their own.

It offers high-end features that remain high-end now – including 24-bit/18-bit AD/DA converters, 24 voices (4 oscillators per voice) and a remarkable number of effects plus vocoder.

This particular unit has been kept in storage (in a custom-fitted, lockable road case) for the past few years (owing to available studio space and a busy schedule); it hasn't been gigged nor taken on tour since I've owned it. It's time for someone to make better use.

Solid road cases for these instruments are notoriously rare and expensive (as high as USD$385 … crazy, I know) – yet essential for this solid monster of a keyboard. That work is taken care of; please take that into account when considering your bids.

Once particularly coveted by trance producers, this German-made synth (part of a long line of celebrated Virus models) is suited to all kinds of electronic music, especially to those keen to explore its deep programmability."
