The Korg Maxi-Korg 800DV Synthesizer from the year 1975 is one of my favorite analog synthesizers. The 800DV is duophonic with two separate synthesizer sections and different play modes. The legendary traveler filter with low pass and high pass and the powerful VCOs + Sub Osc sounds phat and dark.

First Look! Analog Synth Modules // All New // Compact and Powerful // Hampshire Electronics
video by Hampshire Electronics
Different look from these.
"A quick demo of my all new, compact range of analogue synth modules! Five voices of analogue goodness packed into a 6U Rackbrute case.
I have created this range, based on our large modules, for those with less space who wish for more compact systems. Beautiful aluminium faceplates with gold logo and lettering.
Sequenced by a Keystep Pro.
All sounds generated from the modular. Recorded straight from my Princeton Reverb guitar amp with no external audio processing."
Black Corporation - Deckard's Voice
video by SchneidersLaden
"The Deckard’s Voice Module by Black Corporation is a single voice from their Deckard’s Dream eight-voice poly synth. Based on the legendary Yamaha CS80 this module has a high density of functions to offer and a very characteristic sound. Even though it is a single voice it can create that dreamy cinematic sounds if you add the right amount of reverb.
The module features all you could wish for – VCO and noise, high-pass and low-pass filters, two envelopes, a modulation LFO with random and a VCA with velocity response. Additionally, most of the building blocks can be used on their own due to the many inputs and outputs.
All in all, a unique and versatile module that will give you lots of flexibility in the way it can be used in your system. And it sounds great."

Upgraded Yamaha DX5

"Here's your chance to own one of the Crown Jewels of 80's synth history, and the top of the DX line: the mighty Yamaha DX5. Along with its even bigger brother the DX1 (of which only 140 were made), the DX5 essentially puts two complete DX7 engines in one gorgeous body, and then adds significant upgrades like improved output circuitry with XLR jacks as well as standard 1/4", a much bigger display, double the polyphony, split/layer capability, two cartridge slots, and more.
However, this isn't a standard-issue DX5: this is a custom-modified and completely restored DX5 with higher-end components than the original. Frankly, this is the best-sounding DX synth you will ever hear - even better than a DX1, which are incredibly rare. The following tweaks/updates were done by SynthSpa within the last year:
- Upgraded hand-picked DA converters for pristine sound: the character of the DX1/DX5, but even more hi-fi
- New OLED screen to replace the old, dim EL display
- Totally rebuilt power supply with new capacitors
- New battery
- Completely rebuilt keybed: each key was washed, cleaned, and springs restored to feel brand new
- Custom Paduk wood trim sides
- Cleaned & restored sliders, jacks, pots & other electronic components; outputs rebalanced & optimized
A few other notes: the youtube link in my listing is this actual DX5, recorded in January 2021; however, some of the sounds are from a custom DX sample library I created - some of which are multiple stacks from a TX816.
This DX5 is in incredible shape as you can see in the pics & video; however, there is one minor small scratch near the display. The previous owner filled it in with brown paint, so it's not really noticeable under most circumstances - you have to be looking for it. It's under the temporary brown tape you can see in some of the pics in my listing; the tape has been removed. If you're as OCD as I am, you can do the same thing - or make a nice bezel to surround the display. If it doesn't sell, I'll happily keep it and build a nice wood trim bezel myself!"

Sound City SLM P-700 Pedal Bass Synthesizer

"rare pedal synth. The Sound City Pedal Bass was also sold by St. Louis Music as the SLM-700. This unit is in fantastic condition and functions 100%. Every knob, button and switch works perfectly. Includes original carrying bag, which is also in great shape. It produces a nice, fat analog synth sound."

"Serial number: 39! Very early example, with the 'Pull Caliblation' spelling error on the front panel, and Reed & Wind presets.
Very rare model. The exact synth (early model) used by Jean Michel Jarre for Equinoxe V, VIII. Used by James Murphy in many songs in 'This is Happening', the 2010 album by LCD Soundsystem. Also used by Thom Yorke on stage in Glastonbury a few back, as well as Edgar Froese, The Wake...
3 x VCO's PER voice, individually tuneable. Beautiful sounding onboard Phase Shifter, which does not use BBD's like nearly every other stringer, but instead utilises the 3x VCOs for a truly otherworldly effect.
Full (48 voice) polyphony.
Attack & Release envelope.
Bass / Treble filtering.
This synth was working fine up until a few days ago, when it has now developed audio distortion, also it seems that some of the notes are playing incorrectly. It will need a service. Of note, the red LED pilot lamp above the power button is not working.
Currently:
All keys sound, all sounds change as they should to the 8x presets.
The Bass / Treble controls work as they should.
Volume knob works fine.
Headphone jack working, volume knob for headphone jack working fine.
Attack, and Sustain, both working fine.
Oscillator A, and B, individual tuning seems to be working ok for all keys except those notes where they are sounding incorrect.
Master oscillator pitch knob working fine.
All outputs working fine."
