Published on Jan 30, 2020 Enzo Boldrini

"The Logan String Melody was a portable keyboard produced in two versions from 1973 to 1982. Manufactured in Italy, it was sold under both the Logan brand name and re-badged as both a and product. The Vox version was called The String Thing but still featured the Logan brand name on the back of the case.

The keyboard consists of four octaves split into two nearly equal sized ranges. In each of these ranges a combination of three string sounds can be mixed using faders labelled Cello, Viola and Violin. Each string sound is pitched one octave apart. In addition to the separate sets of faders for the string sounds, each range has a sustain and release fader. The lower range also features a simple synthesiser that is controlled from using faders labelled Bass and Perc."

"KB in excellent condition. Fully functional with a premium dust cover from Custom in Bulgaria. The keybed is absolutely amazing with no issues. There's a tiny dent in the upper right hand corner that's pictured, however it's only noticeable under a bright lamp as shown. This beautiful synth has been well taken care of and needs a good home where it will continue to emit some of the best sounding digital mayhem and splendor for years to come. Feel free to ask questions. Free shipping to the lower 48 only."

Polyend Tracker: Full Release

Published on Jun 1, 2020 Red Means Recording

"*I thought it was going live today, according to Polyend, but it's still in the "pre-order, first come first serve" stage. Here's the official word from Polyend:

'The preorders have started on the 18th of March. We've started shipping the firstly preordered units to private customers/stores/distributors with the last days of May. This is a constant process. I think we'll be sending them for a long time before the Tracker will be available "in stock". Anyone can order at their retailers or directly at polyend.com but we'll be shipping the preorders on a 'first come first serve basis' until September 2020 I think.' [see the dealers on the right here on MATRIXSYNTH for pricing and availability]
