"Essentially in brand new condition - not a scratch

I received it in mint condition from its first owner, and have kept it that way in my home studio since 2015. [listed here]

Serial number 032 - from the first or second run - this one includes the 'Limited Edition' mark under the main logo.

This instrument is a monster. I won't go into details, but it's basically a digital modular synth capable of anything. Analog modeling, wavetables, samples, rotors and more. You can read all the specs on John Bowen's website.

There is a one-year wait on new orders and there may not be many more production runs left. I pack professionally and the original box is included.

Sale includes only the synth, CF card with latest OS and patches, and power supply. If it's not listed, it's not included."

"After finally getting a EII+HD I'm selling my EII+. As you know the + version means double sample memory...a whopping 1 MEG! The EII is (IMO) the king of emus, everything is subjective but it has a fatness that I prefer over all other EMU samplers...and I've had them all!! This works as should, all keys trigger floppy works, has HxC loaded with about every EMU disk available!"

ARP 2600 w/3604P Keyboard SN 26524

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
Published on Nov 5, 2019 Music GoRound

via this auction

"ARP 2600 w/ 3604P keyboard. This came from an estate and the gentleman who passed away was the original owner. It is on consignment in our store, we are helping the family list it as they are not familiar with these at all.

The lids for the unit and keyboard are missing. It works, but will need serviced. We were able to produce sounds on it and test it to some degree. I have included a link to a short video showing that it works.

We are not experts on these older modular synths. What I know is that the right speaker is not working, there are 2 slider caps that broke off (I found one and will include it), and the reverb is not working. Not pictured is an aftermarket cable to connect the keyboard to the unit. The keyboard works.

If you are looking at this, you probably know what it is and understand that it will need serviced to be at it's best. It appears to be in good condition cosmetically as seen in the photos. We are selling it As Described because we do not have the knowledge to know if everything is working as it should."

Random Source La Bestia II Demos

Published on Nov 5, 2019 Jae Ryan

Two demos by Jae Ryan. Also see La Bestia 2 by Random Source - overview, sounds, music by HAINBACH.

Video descriptions:

1. Random Source La Bestia II - 01

I got my first Serge panel in yesterday! It's a La Bestia II and I have to say. I regret waiting this long. As far as an "analog modular" panel goes, I think this one is just perfect. It took a little time to get going with all the serge patching requirements, but the arrival couldn't be any more rewarding :D

2. Random Source La Bestia II - 02

Another quick serge jam. The battery in my camera died so I kinda rushed it to get the gist.
I'm pinging the VCFQ with the SQ-1 and feeding it into the mixer. I also took two more outs from the filter and ran them separately into different sections of the wave multipliers. That's the second 2 sounds I bring in. It's crazy how much variety you can get out of a single "voice" when you have a panel this deep!
Later I bring in a little bit of the NTO into the variable slope with some random voltage modulating the decay time to give it a little feel :)

3. Random Source La Bestia II - 03

Another little plummy patch. Once again, I was too lazy to actually record and just recorded a still after the fact......

4. Random Source La Bestia II - 04

A big ol' drone this time with pretty much everything controlled by a self cycling SSG LFO. The main "big" bass part that comes in is the Variable Slope VCF self oscillating (thanks to some feedback patching) & ran through the bottom wave multiplier.

5. Random Source La Bestia II - 05

A lil' serge jam in which I explore AM. Eventually.

There's also a little bit of cocoquantus drone that plays in the beginning.

I'm using couple distings in a euroack skiff to quantize the stepped side of the SSG & the bass notes of the TKB too.

6. Random Source La Bestia II - 06

Serge drone patched up immediately after the last video.

Heavy use of the OTO BAM in this one.

Disting MK4 is quantizing the TKBs voltages.

7. Random Source La Bestia II - 07

I've had the serge put away for a little bit in order to explore some new gear while I wait for my Edelweiss panel to show up. I was craving the sound tonight though and decided to pull it out for this quick little ditty. I even took the time to set up the camera!
