Dave Smith Instruments Poly Evolving Pads
Published on Nov 9, 2019 synthlegends
"Demo of evolving Pad sounds from the DSI Poly Evolver Keyboard polychained with the Poly Evolver Rack, so it has 8 voices. There are only PEK sounds on it and no additional effects, mastering or equalizer. Although there are 4 seperate stereo outputs (the same in the Rack), I only used one pair of stereo outs in this video.
I erased my video with the same title from two days ago because of very low audio quality. I have to appologize for it.
Some say the Evolver series are harsh sounding. Maybe it is because of some interesting effects like tuning feedback, distorsion and output hack. Neverthelesss you can achieve very warm tones and the instrument is capable for evolving pads thanks of the two LP Filter you can set individually in the stereo field.
Also with the 3 tap delay you can program chorus effects and take usage of the 4 LFO plus the third envelope and the step sequencer.
Even the digital OSC can sound very warm, when you use in a subtle way the Ring Modulator or FM effect.
The Synthesizer has a very big dynamic range. Everything is recorded life from the two synthesizers out from the PER mixer with two channels directly to the audio interface.
Thanks for watching and if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me in the comments below. Cheers."

Pics of the inside below.
"All six original encoders work properly, click properly with no skipping. All push buttons work properly without double clicking or sticking.
All LED screens and letters work properly with no lights or digits burned out and no faded characters. All 12 voices (VCOs + PW + VCA + VCF) tune properly with one simple touch.
All keys function properly. Even the inside of this unit as seen in the photos is spotless- no dust bunnies here!
The inside of this Matrix-12 looks literally brand new as seen in the photos.
All the silkscreen on the back of the unit with the "MATRIX 12" label and on the front show no signs of fading or scratches or discoloration.
Original wooden panels look practically new with little to no wear.
This Matrix-12 is MADE IN USA."

"Incredible paraphonic synth from the 70s. I've loved and recorded many albums with this lovely synth but it is time for her to go to a new home when the time is right. This is the model Bob Moog used to take on the road with him for audience demonstrations. One key is slightly ‘down’ (see pic) but still plays. It’s never bothered me so I never got it fixed. Serviced right before I bought it less than a year ago. Cosmetic scratches esp on road case but fully functional, plays perfectly.
This has a functional built in speaker and an awesome hard case the synth sits in. You can also run External Audio like a drum machine or different synth into it through the filter, ring modulator, etc. 2 lfos. gets weird fast. Also possibly open to trade for other righteous gear. If you buy this is recommend you ideally have a local synth tech, you know what you’re getting into, an incredible synth, made in the 70s, with the charm, quirks and characterful sound that come along with the inherent risk of owning a piece of synth history.cheers.

Mutable Instruments Ambika Synthesizer with 6 x SMR4 Voicecards
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Ambika is a monster multi-voice hybrid synthesizer. You can play it as a 6-voice polysynth, an ensemble of 6 monosynths, or anything inbetween due to its easily configurable voicing architecture.
The sound generation is hybrid, combining the warmth and sonic character of a true 4-pole analog filter (or 2-pole multimode filter depending on the type of voicecard used), with the large array of waveforms offered by digital wavetables, fm and phase modulation. The digital control of the analogue filter and VCA also means a very large palette of modulation possibilities.
Some of the key features of Ambika include:
6 voices with individual outputs.
2 digital oscillators per voice, with 36 oscillator algorithms/wavetables.
1 sub-oscillator, also configurable as a transient generator.
Pre-filter overdrive and bit-crushing effect.
Analog 4-pole filter (or 2-pole multimode filter depending on the type of voicecard used) and VCA.
3 ADSR envelopes, 3 patch-level LFOs, 1 voice-level LFO.
Modulation matrix with 14 slots and 4 modulation modifiers.
1 arpeggiator, 1 note sequencer and 2 step sequencers per part.
Flexible mapping of the 6 voices. A single patch with 6 voice-polyphony, 6 independent mono parts, 2 layered patches with 3-voices polyphony, a 3-voice unison bass line on the lower half of the keyboard with a 3-voice unison lead on the upper half… all are possible!
SD-card storage allows the storing of a life-long of patches, programs and multis, along with the history of editing operations for undo/redo."

YAMAHA CS01 BATTERY-POWERED ANALOG SYNTHESIZER

"The CS01 is a classic analog monosynth recognized by today's electronic musicians as one fat little bass machine with simple controls. It's tiny and portable, it has baby-sized keys and it can run on batteries.
The CS01 is perfect for bubbly and growling bass! It features a very nice 12dB resonant voltage-controlled filter. In addition to the oscillators' sine and square type waveforms there is PWM and noise. There are also LFO controls, glissando (like portamento), a typical ADSR envelope generator, pitch & mod wheels and even a breath control."

Roland Jupiter-6

"Mint condition Roland Jupiter 6. Comes with power cable. Fully functioning.
The JP-6 has 12 analog oscillators (2 per voice), and is bitimbral, allowing its keyboard to be "split" into two sounds - one with 4 voices, and one with the remaining 2 voices (either "Split 4/2" or "Split 2/4" mode). "Whole Mode" is also available, dedicating all 6 voices to single (monotimbral) sound across the entire keyboard. Available waveforms include sawtooth, triangle, variable width pulse, square, and noise. Unusually, the JP-6 allows simultaneous selection of any or all of the waveforms in each of its two oscillator banks, an option not found on the JP-8. Oscillator sync and cross modulation are also available. "Unison Mode" allows all 12 oscillators to be triggered simultaneously by depressing a single key. Unison Mode can also be played polyphonically, with the number of oscillators triggered by each key determined by the number of keys held down.
The JP-6 was among the first electronic instruments (alongside the Roland JX-3P and the Sequential Circuits Prophet-600) to feature MIDI, then a brand new technology. Sequential CEO Dave Smith demonstrated MIDI by connecting the Prophet to a Jupiter-6 during the January, 1983 Winter NAMM Show."
