"This unit is in beautiful condition and in good working order. Serial# 506 I have owned since 2011 and has since seen a complete restoration between myself and The Analog Lab (NYC), most recently in 2016.

Cosmetically:
The wood paneling, silk screen and keys are in excellent shape. Badges look clean and no major dings or dents to the case.

Internally: The original transformer has been replaced with a much more efficient and cooler (temp) toroidal transformer. The power supply section has been completely rebuilt with new regs and the +/- 5v , +/-15, +12v voltage supplies are incredibly stable.

All tantalum caps have been replaced along with all other caps connected to power rails or the CPU board.

Almost all chips have been replaced and socketed with modern equivalents, of course with the exception of the wonderful analog SSM chips and anything along the audio signal path. (EPROMs, clock, Z80 CPU, op amps, gates, etc.. all replaced!!) The large ribbon cable that connects the CPU board to the voice board can get wonky over time. This has also been replaced.

This overhauled vintage Rev2 is rock solid and has basically been future-proofed for the next 40 years!

All key bushings have been replaced and have good action. This unit has the cassette board installed and working. It is very easy to load/unload patches with a 1/4" audio cable. All pots have been cleaned and have smooth action.

Voices and filters have been tuned / calibrated and sound excellent. I would prefer a local pickup over shipping but I will also ship with a case for protection and have it professionally packaged if you choose that option."

Dirty sound design & sequencing with the MOK Waverazor // #JAMUARY2020 DAY 27

Published on Jan 27, 2020 DivKidVideo

Fun to look at.

"Let's get the week kicked into touch and off to a banging start. Here's some nasty and dirty sounds out of the MOK Waverazor Eurorack module. There's TONNEs (how many eurorack CV inputs constitute a tonne?) of modulation inputs so I thought I'd throw lots at it, jam with envelopes, VCA offsets, sequences and muting drums in and out and get lots of sounds and sequences flying by. Love it.

Synthesiser Dave - Episode 22

"Dave finishes off the Korg MS-10, including some nifty end cheek fixing by Paul. Turns out there's more wrong with it and the rebuild takes longer than anticipated."

Exploring Modulation Pt. 3 - Mod Delay // Lyra-8 Organismic Drone Synth Tutorial

Published on Jan 26, 2020 Ron Cavagnaro

"Please make sure to keep your volume at a moderate level. Due to the experimental quality of this synth some parts may become noisy to some, and extremely irritable to others.

This tutorial is about how to wildly change the tones even more with the Soma Labs Lyra-8 Drone Synth, using the mod delay.

This is The Soma Labs Lyra-8 Organismic Drone Synth. It is an experimental analog synthesizer that creates cinematic, strange, beautiful, and cerebral soundscapes."
