"This unit has been professionally maintained by techs in the Bay Area, and is in great condition. It has the analog.fi firmware update professionally installed. More information on that upgrade can be found here. Among other things, this upgrade improves the tuning and allows for a greater degree of usability on the front panel of the synth. Included is the original OS chip, in case you would like to revert to the stock OS at some point.

It had a full keyboard assembly rebushing done a year ago, as well as a PSU upgrade (see external heat sink in photos), which allows for a more stable and cool operating temperature. At that time, the eletrolytic caps were changed, and all voices were tested and calibrated.

This unit has been taken very nice care of, and would make a beautiful addition to any studio or collection."

Alesis Ion Keyboard Synthesizer

via this auction

"The Ion has 8-voice polyphony with 3 oscillators per voice, and is 4-part multi-timbral. It offers continuously variable wave shapes (sine waves can morph into square waves), plus osc-sync and FM synthesis. 16 filter types are included, along with two LFOs, Sample & Hold, and an Arpeggiator-all of which sync to MIDI clock. A powerful and intuitive modulation matrix is built in, as well as a 40-band vocoder that does not use up any polyphony. External stereo audio can be processed through the filters, effects, or the vocoder. A 160x160 graphic display provides instant visual feedback as a parameter is edited. Along with having 512 patch settings (all user-rewritable), the Ion has 64 multi-timbral setups. All parameters including arpeggiator settings are stored with each preset. The ION keyboard contains 49 velocity-sensitive keys, 4 analog outputs and 2 stereo analog inputs (all balanced and using 24-bit conversion), 4 individual insert effects, a stereo master multi-FX processor, and an internal universal power supply. Expression and sustain pedal ports as well as headphone jacks are also there. For those who want a versatile synth and can't afford the A6, this is the synth for you - arguably one of the best 'virtual-analog' synths for awesome, analogue-like sounds."

Tho things I wish Alesis included on the Ion were aftertouch and speed sensitive knobs. The resolution for filter cutoff is high, so it takes a few turns of the knob to fully open it up. It's a great sounding VA with three full oscillators.

modular and piano ambient session (Mutable instruments rings, 2hp TM + reface CP)

Published on Jul 31, 2017 ollilaboratories

"If you like my stuff please support me on http://music.ollilab.com/ and https://www.patreon.com/theBURG

This ambient track is about chance, the 2hp TM is strumming the MI rings module on a random basis, and I wanted the modular system to decide the tempo and mood of the track. So what I am doing here is simply following the cues from the Turing Machine when its triggering, my brain is literally being controlled by the random strokes and strums you are hearing.

Machine controlling man, it is so beautiful.

Current rack: https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/445007

Modular: MI rings, sound source, LFO on brightness and damping. Penrose is quantizing MI rings notes coming in from the peaks, which is in LFO mode, and with a messy curve so sort of unpredictable. One rings channel goes into audio I/O the other through the morphagene for some glitchy time lag randomness.

I am as You can see controlling Penrose quantizer manually at times doing simple root note key changes... but other than that the melodies and tempo are completely random.

maths is the acting clock for this piece

Reface CP gets some processing from the catalinbread csidman and Strymon big-sky (not in picture). Transmisser, space spiral, and caverns for the modular.

Enjoy! BoooM!"

CASIO CZ-101 Digital Phase Distortion Synthesizer

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

via this auction

"This is a very nice, vintage 1980's Casio CZ-101 keyboard, a cool, smaller version of the Casio CZ-1000/CZ-3000. The keyboard is in great condition electronically with normal usage scuffs.

Used by many famous bands (Erasure, Radiohead among others), it is a digital synth with great programming capabilities and a nice variety of analog-like traits and sounds. It is equipped with a 8-stage envelope design.

It uses Phase Distortion (PD) synthesis for the great sounds, similar to the Yamaha DX synthesizers. It also has four types of vibrato settings, a simple LFO-type section with triangle, square, ramp up or down waveforms as well as rate, depth and delay settings. Four Portamento adds classic glide effect.

It has oscillators with 4-note polyphony, a built-in noise and ring modulation and is MIDI equipped with 4 monophonic multitimbral parts.

You can create lots of new sounds, notably percussive sounds. Great for standard stage/studio work, the synth is very cool strapped as a guitar (it is also battery operated) for a stand-up stage performances.

The synth is in excellent working condition with all keys and functions operating correctly.

Sorry, my niece model and the strap do not come with the synth. :( :( "
