Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 Rev 2

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

"This is a beautiful example of a Revision 2 Prophet 5. This synthesizer has been meticulously serviced to bring it to it's full potential.

The Prophet 5's are plagued by some flaws that are not present in this unit. All tantalum capacitors have been changed for high quality and long lifetime electrolytic capacitors. This does not alter the sound, but will provide you with years of stability from this synthesizer.

This Prophet 5 is different than most in regards to it's highly sought after chip set. The more common Prophet 5, the revision 3, uses CEM chipsets, whereas as this Prophet 5, the more sought after revision2, utilizes SSM chipsets, which have been regarded as much warmer sounding and organic.

The SSM's are also known to be slightly less stable in tuning. This prophet utilizes higher grade components in regards to tuning, making it noticeably more stable, however still offering the life that the SSM oscillators are known for.

The unit is in very fair cosmetic condition considering it's age. There are some small knicks in the wood, and the read badge has been slightly lifted in order to service the power supply. None of the cosmetic flaws affect the playability or musicality of this instrument."

Minimoog D Early Model SN 1246

via this auction

This one was listed for sale back in 2013 as well. Note the same hand written serial number on the back. See that post for some additional details. According to the new listing:

"This is an original condition minimoog D of the musonics era. This one is a rarity as its not branded musonics even thought the manufacture dates and serial numbers correspond to that time period. The best explanation I've gotten is that during the time of the merger between moog music and musonics some were labeled moog music.

serial number is 1246 (#246 built) was built between the last week of december 1971 and first week of jan 1972, on a snowy christmas, 45 years ago!
This is a native New Yorker, built in Williamsville and lived most of its life there.

It is in rare unrestored condition and completely original even the 2 wire power cord. Has its original, correct RA moog boards as you can see in the photos.

There was a pot installed at the top left when I purchased it (controlling external cv for the keyboard possibly) and there is a drill hole present.

I've owned 3 minis over the years of all the various rev's and this one is by far the best sounding; These early moogs have a very special sound thats hard to describe, very electric and focused, 3d and punchy as can be, maybe a bit closer to its moog modular roots."

1982 LinnDrum LM-2 w/Midi Upgrade & Alternate Sound Chip Sets

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

via this auction

"This listing is for a vintage LM-2 LinnDrum. Had the midi upgrade done back in the mid-late 80's was studio kept until moved into storage in the late 90's. I recently plugged it in and hooked it up to some speakers and drum triggers to make sure it still works and it sounds just as good as the day I packed it up 17 or 18 years ago. Will need a new battery as most synths from the 70's and 80's do.

Also included in this listing are 30 original alternate sound chips Linndrum put out before closing their doors in the 90's. These chips are generally hard to find and I've seen them go for a minimum of $10 or more for a single chip. Lots of toms, bass and snare and some sound effects. Refer to pictures."

Synthtech E330 Teeny Twister

Chord Cloud

Published on Dec 13, 2016 Nick Jackson

"I made pretty good use of the last 4hp in my HEK with a Uoki Toki Quad LFO. 4 LFO's in 4hp! In this patch I decided to put it to use with the Chord and Clouds.

It's a pretty simple patch..Chord is just droning through Ripples and then into Clouds. I am using the 4lfo to modulate the waveshape, voicing, and inversion of the Chord, with the 4th lfo cyclically 'freezing' Clouds. I then have a MI Tides slowly modulating the density of Clouds. The mix then runs out through a Strymon BlueSky, with no additional effects.

As always, I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!"
