"This unit came to us in pretty good working order, but as with most high end items of its type and age, we meticulously overhauled it, sparing no expense, so it would be as good as possible and hopefully reliable well into the future for its next owner. This required approximately 24 hours of skilled labor and results in a Maxi-Korg that's way better than others you may find and justifiably more costly too."

"This unit was fully refurbished and is in excellent working order / better than others you may find. Everything was removed and it was cleaned inside and out. The pots in these are usually in bad shape and crackly or with other defects, so we replaced them all with new ones, as usual. Electrolytic capacitors were replaced with new ones, not by necessity, but because we want this unit to hopefully outlast others. The original pad surface was removed and replaced with a brand new one. A complete set of vintage knobs was installed. Everything was tested and is in perfect working order. We paid our tech for 5.5 hours of skilled labor to refurbish this unit, and this work is reflected in its higher than usual price, because it's a much better purchase than others you may find."

"Synthesizer System in Custom Case with 3 Synths, Mixer, and 2 Keyboards! One of a kind!

Compact little weird Musical Box full of many classic synth sounds!

Custom folding wood case measuring 30 x 16 x 11.5 inches. Open the four case style clasps (2 in front and 2 on folding back panel) and the unit lifts open revealing 3 mounted synthesis units, 2 keyboards, a mixer, and lighting. Use mixer to fine tune stereo outs from mixer to your amplification system. This allows very fast set up of a mobile synth system...just plug in stereo audio outs to amps or PA and you are making sounds!

The Three (3) Synth modules are:
(1) Waldorf Rocket Synthesizer (monophonic analogue), which is controlled by the top CME Xkey 37 Mobile USB keyboard controller, and which has a delay pedal (see bottom left of main pic) in line before the mixer.
(2) Waldorf Streichfett String Synthesizer and (3) Alesis Nanopiano units (both polyphonic), both in unison controlled by the lower CME Xkey 37 Mobile USB keyboard controller; one can mix sounds from both modules via their volume controls and the Mixer.

Mixer: Yamaha MG-06 stereo mixer; 5 channels are used by the synths leaving one channel open for a microphone or other instrument that the user might want.

The SOUND of this unit is big...there is a lot going on. One can create a huge layered pad with the bottom keyboard and play lead sounds via the top keyboard and use the small echo pedal at the bottom left to add echo effects to the lead sound. Each one of these modules is pretty deeply tweakable and has many choices of sound.

The CME Xkey keys are miniature, and they have no velocity sensitivity for those that are concerned with such things.

The panel that the modules are mounted upon opens via the top left and right knurled knobs, which when removed allows that panel to fold down on hinges, further allowing the cabling to be accessed. The keyboard midi and audio configuration can be altered as wanted by the user this way. As sold the bottom keyboard feeds both the String Synth and the Nanopiano via midi thru functions, but this could easily be rewired (again, top keyboard informs the Rocket unit).

There is an LED light strip over the top which can be programmed for different colors! (instructions included)

This system is 120 volts (US), and is powered by a power strip mounted inside the case that also powers some of the units via USB power outs. Turn the unit on by turning the power strip on (which is located below the synth module rack as pictured). On the left aspect of the case there are surface plugs for standard power and damper pedal, the latter configurable for either keyboard.

The case is sturdy enough but should be handled like any musical instrument when transported, and by no means is ATA approved. This unit would definitely need careful packing in a heavy duty shipping case if flown to a gig."

"The QX1 was the first MIDI sequencer by Yamaha: clearly aimed at studios with its high price and its MIDI capabilities back at a time when very few synthesizers had digital connections.

It features a built-in 5.25" floppy disk for data storage and 8 independent track with 8 separate MIDI OUT terminals.

Recording can be carried out in real-time or step-write modes, with enormous overdubbing capacity. The QX1 permits highly detailed editing and manipulation of all recorded data."

"The Pittsburgh Modular Voltage Research Laboratory - one of the most fascinating synths around for people who want to explore sounds inspired by lifeforms, rich sonic behaviours on the edge of chaos and so on. I've used this fascinating, sonically rich synth on a film scoring project and am now selling it on for someone else to cherish.

A thing of beauty musically and sonically, the VRL is also as rare as hen's teeth, especially in the UK and Europe. This one is signed on the bottom and is in excellent condition. It will come with power supply and cables.

Here's the official blurb - do also see the video [posted here], created by Pittsburgh Modular:

The Voltage Research Laboratory is a completely different analog synthesizer where every function of the instrument has been influenced by the behaviors and systems of the natural world. Wildly experimental and extremely deep, the Voltage Research Laboratory is a sonic playground created to explore the natural systems and lesser known fringes of analog synthesis. The Voltage Research Laboratory is 100% eurorack modular format compatible and is comprised of 3 separate eurorack modules housed together in a purpose-built, handmade eurorack enclosure. More than a collection of tools and functions, it is a unique modular synthesizer designed to reward deep experimentation and encourage the creation of unique sonic systems."

"This is a Mint Condition all original Roland Jupiter 6 JP-6 built in 1985. It was purchased from the original owner about 1 year ago. I've used it all indoors on some studio recordings but lately I haven't been using it much and would like to see it go to a good home. I've really babied it while it's been in my possession and the previous owner did the same. This thing is like a time capsule. It still has the plastic seal on the serial number tag!! Happy to let serious buyers come by and fully test it out."
