You can find a demo of one in the archives here. You will also find a software emulation there.

"One of the few remaining Logan Big Band on the planet, always handled with love and care. Recently serviced, this impressive string synthesizer looks great and works like a charm.

The Big Band is a six-voice polyphonic string synthesizer produced by the Italian manufacturer Logan from 1980 to 1982. Released in the same period of the Vocalist, it's an extremely rare machine, only around 1000 units produced.

The Big Band features a variety of sounds including Brass, Strings, Organ, Reeds (Musette + Accordion) and Piano (Piano + Harpsichord). The sounds are organized into 3 main sections delimited by red lines. Brass + String/Organ/Reeds + Piano/Harpsichord can be played at the same time or individually.

Brass : In the Brass section the controls are: Brass 16", Brass 8", Attack, Brilliance and two controls for Vibrato: Depth and Delay. The red on/off switch activates/deactivates the Brass section. This Brass sound is absolutely one of the most impressive ever.

Strings/Organs/Reeds : Here you can select one of the 3 included sounds at once using the 3 on/off switches. In this section there are String 16" String 8" and String 4" controls that also work for the Organ. Next to String controls there are two more for the Reed section which features Musette and Accordion. String, Organ and Reeds share the same Attack and Sustain controls.

Pianos : The Piano section features Piano 16", Piano 8", Harpsichord and the Sustain control which works for all the 3 Piano sources. The red on/off switch activate/deactivate the Piano section."

Pic of the inside below.

"Very cool pedal where you can set the start and stop frequency, and the synth effect intensity is controlled by how hard a drum stick hits the pad. This pedal takes the Space Drum concept further by having a modulation section and it is also AC powered. Pedal is in very used condition; has tons of surface case rust, scratches and dings; please examine the pics. Pedal works perfectly and sounds great after all these years."

Sequential Circuits Analog Prophet 600 Synth with Gligli and Overlay

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

via this auction

"This Prophet 600 is in excellent condition. Has the Gligli mod, plus a Gligli panel overlay by SynthGraphics affixed to the panel. The overlay displays the correct functionality of the knobs and buttons that the Gligli mod introduces. These are no longer available so it's a wonderful rare feature to have.

Synth is fully functional, and all knobs, buttons, keys, etc work properly with no issues. The cosmetic condition is also excellent with hardly any scratches. Please see photos. There are a few nicks on the wood sides that can be seen in the pics. The person I bought it from told me he purchased it from a vintage synth museum. It is hard to believe it is nearly 40 years old.

This particular synth has given me more pleasure than any other poly synth I've owned, but I'm abandoning my synth/midi setup and going back to basics with a Wurlitzer and analog tape deck."

Vermona TwinCussion- crazy dual percussion module eurorack


Published on May 13, 2020 Dziam Bass

"Is a small demo drum module of TwinCussion from Vermona.
on it you can get a lot of fun and sharp and classic sounds. from soft kick to very strong Hard kick and hats and many other strange sounds.

twinCussion is a dual channel drum-synthesizer module. Its components are explicitly designed to create percussive sounds while its flexible interconnections make it a must-have for rhythm based modular systems.

Special units A and B
twinCussion offers two sensibly structured sound engines, each consisting of an oscillator (complemented by a noise generator in engine 2), a voltage controlled amplifier and an envelope generator. Both sound engines can be used independently or being combined for more complex sounds. The internal structure can be edited and expanded at will, thanks to the multiple in- and outputs being available.

Versatile expert
twinCussion is a versatile sound chameleon. Although its sound engine is specialized in electronic drum sounds, it is not limited to specific instruments of this genre. This module generates pushing bass drums, prominent snares and chirping hi-hats with ease. And there is much more to twinCussion if using a little creative patching. Unleash numerous sounds like wooden clicks, metallic pings and a lot more."
