Prophet 5 Analogue Renaissance REV -1
synthlegends
"Demonstration of the new Filterchip Downgrade of Analogue Renaissance which uses new created SSI Filter Chips from Dave Rossum to Downgrade the Rev. 3 to the former Rev. 1 and 2 Filter Design.
For this mod you have to replace the CEM Filter Chips with a small board of 5 SSI Filter Chips. Additionally there is also a 12 dB Filter and Q-Compensation to compensate the loss of volume in high resonance sounds.
After modding the Rev. 3 gets much loader using Q-Comp; I had to decrease the volume of the oscillators in the mixer.
I let install the mod through my tech, because the old sockets must be desoldered in my opinion, otherwise you get contact problems.
In this Prophet 5 I didn't do the calibration of the filter chips, because I was not sure if I want to go back to my old CEM Filter chips. But meanwhile I won't go back and I also have to calibrate the unit.
I like the mod very much and the variation of sounds increase. The Q-Comp ist a really great feature which allows making really ultra fat resonance sounds, like Tom Sawyer Filter sweeps and other Oberheimesque Sounds (also thanks to the 12-Pole Filter).
The sound goes directly to the audio interface without any mastering, FX or equalizer.
If you want to hear my original Prophet 5 without this mod and CEM Filter Chips with a lots of the same patches view this video:" [posted here]

"1981 Casio DG-1 Digital Guitar in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Produced for a single year, the DG-1 is Casio’s original Digital Guitar that launched a cult classic series of truly unique synthesizers. Looking like what would be RoboCop’s personal guitar, this digital axe features nylon strings and a rubber fingerboard pad that translates the intended notes through selected digital onboard Casio sound banks through a 1/8“ Line Out and built-in speaker.
The Tone bank includes 12 different selectable sounds, all with unique and arguably usable qualities. The Rhythm section features 12 different drum machine patterns with adjustable Tempo controls, and the drum machine can be played simultaneously as an accompaniment to the guitar output with a Start/Stop button and Synchro/Fill pad.
A Main Volume control and separate Rhythm Volume knob are located next to the Power switch, and the guitar runs on 6 AA batteries or a 9v power adapter (not included). The output is 1/8“ and will need a 1/4“ adapter to interface with standard instrument connections, while the built-in speaker works as it should. Cosmetically, there are light surface scuffs and scratches mostly relegated to the back of the plastic body and neck profile."

Yamaha CS-30 Vintage Analog Mono-Synthesizer SN 1717

"A total beast of a synth, top of the range of Yamaha's original line-up of mono's, so many routing options it's almost modular, incredibly versatile with fantastic sounding oscillators and filters. Fully functional and recently repaired.
Runs on 110V Japanese power I can include a transformer for free.
Issues/quirks:
- Missing the portamento slider cap
- The VCA Hold/EG switch is unoriginal and works in reverse (when flicked up EG is selected, vice versa)
- Needs to warm up when powering on
If you can locate a spare portamento cap or 2-pole slider I'll install them for free, but they're unobtainium believe me I've tried.
Located inner-city Sydney for collection."
