The last post featuring one for sale was back in 2008.

"PPG 1002 extremely rare vintage analog synth + cv / gate + audio in (serviced)

Up for sale is an (1) extremely rare PPG 1002 synthesizer, build around 1976. Approx. 20-25 units are been made and probably not more than 10 are still alive, so it's a unique chance to buy one. The first owner was PPG employee Lutz Vogelsang, we can prove that. He sold it to a friend and we are the third owner. Lutz installed a useful external audio input mod with a low/high gain switch on the front panel. You can overdrive the filter beautifully now and when you connect the 'output II' into the ext. audio input you can create an additional resonance to the sound.

We serviced the synth and installed a v-trig / osc / filter input to control it with another device like a sequencer. The sawtooth oscillators, snappy filter and weird modulation possibilities makes this a monstersynth. It sounds amazing!!

Cosmetically the synth is in near mint condition with only some minor signs of use. Please check all the detail photos for a good overall impression.

The service report is part of the sale. It is a 220v version with European plug installed. There is no serial number on the synth."

- Round Robin - you set multiple instruments and each note will go to a different one, in a circular way.
- Transpose - pitch up or down all input notes, single notes or whole octaves.
- Sticky Keys - will hold keys and works in two ways: holds all keys until you press a defined key; holds keys until you press those again to release
- Chords & Strum - record chords to be played with single keys. Optional strumming velocity and progression. Plus, looping of chords when using the strum option.
- Crossfader - allows you to crossfade from one track to another, with support to up to 99 tracks sequentially.
- Note Delay - adds a delay to all notes, with the option to transpose the delayed note and echo the original note. Plus, feedback on the delay, creating sequential delays.
- Plugin Sequencer - allows you to create complex sequences using multiple instrument plugins (like a Wave Sequencer but with Plugins).

Imogen Heap Exclusive at MTF Stockholm

"The programme of exclusives and unique performances for MTF Labs participants is now online. As you may already have picked up, we're absolutely delighted to have the incredible Imogen Heap joining us at Music Tech Fest Stockholm.

She's going to be pretty busy while she's there...

She's launching the Mycelia Creative Passport World Tour; she'll be running the invitation-only MTF Blockchain Labs with Mycelia from Monday to Friday; hosting the Mycelia Exhibition that will run throughout the public weekend festival at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, performing a big concert at Göta Lejon on Saturday night with her band Frou Frou; and joining us on the Conversations stage on Sunday for an indepth, personal interview about her life and work.

Not only that, but Imogen has agreed to welcome all of the innovators and VIPs we have assembled from around the world in our week-long MTF Labs on Monday 3rd - as well as gracing us with a unique, exclusive and absolutely one-off intimate evening with performance and talk just for our labs participants, VIP guests and press on Thursday evening.

The labs are more than full to capacity - in fact, we had so many applications from so many brilliant people - from choreographers to cryptographers - we had to expand from 30 participants to 80! The decommissioned underground nuclear reactor chamber we've taken over for this incredible event is going to be absolutely buzzing with innovation.

Don't miss Imogen in conversation at #MTFStockholm...

And - we have a special bonus for you: we've secured 50 discounted tickets to the big Saturday night Imogen and Frou Frou concert at Göta Lejon.

Join the MTF Messenger list for more information about this and other Music Tech Fest discounts and offers.

Just over a week to go... Can't wait to see you there!

All the best,


Andrew Dubber,
Director, Music Tech Fest"

"This one is in excellent cosmetic condition and is working 100%. It is ready to be used and needs nothing! It does not have the midi jacks installed as I didn't want to drill any holes into the unit, but it can be controlled via midi by the USB jack located in the battery compartment. All of the data is stored into it's internal Eprom so batteries are no longer needed to maintain it's memory. Please go to the Social Entropy website to see the specs of this upgrade."

"Bought this synth used a while ago... it had issues with the vco’s & vcf’s (oscillators & filters) I replace the dead CEM chips with after market equivalents. The previous owner stated he had issues with re-installing the factory presets, I have not attempted this myself.

This unit powers on, digital keypad is fully functional , all switches and potentiometers seem to function as intended, midi in and out are both fully functional and both arpeggio functions are operational.

I have noticed certain presets are slightly out of tune, while others were not."

Wersi WM32 organ drums demosong ft. Ambika & Micromonsta

Published on Aug 24, 2018 Stereoping

"Demo and reallife-test for an organ drumcomputer PCB i got from ebay. I put it in a 19" case and added a midi trigger interface. Please don't take the music to serious, it turned out to sth like an epic middle-age accordeon polka. All drums coming from the Wersi WM-32. Furter gear: Micromonsta (middleage fiddle), Ambika (Bass, Akkordeon, Synthvoice) and JV1080 (Horns & Strings). There is an article about this PCB on my website in the 'Research lab/E-Drums' section containing a downloadable HQ Sample WAV pack with all sounds of the Wersi WM-32"
