Fender/Rhodes Chroma Polaris SN 301104

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

via this auction

"Hidden gem and underdog of the 80s VCO polysynths, the Chroma Polaris is the last in the proud ARP lineage of fine synths.

This one has fresh membrane panels (installed late 2018) so will good-to-go for many years. This unit was professionally serviced, calibrated, by Greg Montalbano of Analog Synth Service in Oakland CA this year.

One of the first MIDI synths, it features the same CEM chips as famed Oberheim Xpander, which means awesome, crystalline and slightly metallic sound to the oscillators...which you'll never find in a soft synth or digital synth.

Radical features:
Velocity-sensitive
Semi-weighted keys
Multi-timbral mode
On-board sequencer
MIDI Sysex capable
Intel 80186 16-bit microprocessor (!)"

1992 Ensoniq SD1 Music Production Synthesizer SN SD-11413

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

via this auction

"Note the area right above the display is coming up a bit. Via this listing: "I have been the original owner of this amazing and very powerful synthesizer. I recently fully tested it and all the keys are responsive, all functions are working and it sounds beautifull. Shows some signs of wear but in overall still looks great considering it's age. The only issue i encountered was the Floppy Drive, i tried formatting a double density disk but it just gave me a message that says "disk is not formatted" I looked at the drive inside and its really dusty. I honestly dont have the time to clean or fix it. Aside from this everything else works great."

A few new pics. This OB-Mx was posted back in August. Same seller.

"Rare and classic analog-digital hybrid synth designed by Don Buchla.

Works perfectly! (Added photos showing it powered on)

Recently (about a month ago) refurbished by one of the best techs in SoCal (Montoya) and is in excellent electronic and cosmetic condition.

These are super hard to find with 8-12 voices, even harder to find in this condition."

3D Renders of Modular Synthesizer

Published on Jan 19, 2019 Marc Weerts

No audio. Just thought these were kind of cool.

"A very simple test render of a model of my modular synth, based mainly on Doepfer modules with by Dreadbox. I normally like to fully 3d model my synths but in this case that was kind of over the top, as it would basically have involved modelling each module, switch, slider, LED as well as the cables and the screws attaching each module to the case. So in the end I decided to film the system in action and put that on a simple, square piece of geometry. The black case is a different object, but I wanted to see if I could get away with doing it that simple and as long as I don't turn the case too much, it all seems to be quite effective in fooling you that there's depth to it all."
