Custom Moog Prodigy


via this auction.

Details:
"This auction is for a uniquely modified Moog Prodigy synthesizer module. It features a CV Input, Gate Input, Filter Cutoff Control Input, External Audio Input (with gain control), Filter Frequency Modulation, and a beautiful wooden case! I spent many, many days planning and completing this project.

This module can be controlled by any analog synthesizer with CV (V/Oct) and Gate Outputs, or by any programmable Midi->CV converter. The module has only been used in my smoke-free home studio, and works perfectly. I controlled it with a Korg Mono/Poly and also with my Arp Axxe. But due to financial difficulties I've sold both of those synths and so now the Prodigy isn't being used.

This may be your only opportunity to hear a Moog Prodigy with Frequency Modulation. . It's a very natural and unique timbre that I never previously imagined a Moog could produce. Everything about the Prodigy's sound is very natural and it sits very nicely in mixes of all kinds of music. I have also had a ton of fun running drum tracks and other audio through the filter's external audio input. The Pitch-Bend/Sync Wheel, Modulation Wheel, and Filter FM Control Knob are built into a separate enclosure which is interfaced with a 9-pin serial cable. The wooden case has been lovingly sanded, lightly stained, has large rubber feet to keep it situated on stage or in the studio, and it also features a convenient carrying handle."

John Entwhistle's Steiner Parker EVI

"Extremely rare 1970's STEINER-PARKER Wind Synthesis in superb condition, complete with controller, synth, footpedal and cables. Formerly the property of bass and brass legend, JOHN ENTWISTLE. Complete with original transit packing addressed to John!!!

As an instrument in its own right, this is a valuable collectors item. As a piece of history for WHO afficianados, this is unique!"
Update: some more info on the EVI via Mark Glinsky:
"For those unfamiliar with Nyle Steiner here is a short bio.

Nyle originally conceived of the concept of a brass-style electronic synthesizer in the 1960's. He began prototyping the concept in the early 70's and in 1975 Nyle completed his first playable electric valve instrument- the 'Steiner Horn'. A woodwind version was developed soon after. Around 1971, Nyle started working on this new idea. The prototype was finished about a year later, while it was not much to look at, it worked. The first production models were offered in 1975 with the rest of the Steiner-Parker product line. According to Mr. Steiner, around 200 were produced between 1975 and 1979. Most of them were sold to University electronic music departments and pop groups (one of the first systems was sold to Earth, Wind and Fire).

"I developed my own transducer using whatever- I tried a lot of things out. A lot of the main parts I had to build myself. The first one was just a switch. You blew and it turned on and off - just like pressing a key. Later I built a proportional transducer."

EMS Synthi E

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction, including one of the inside.

Details:
The EMS Synthi E was a basic synthesizer designed for educational use from 1975 by the EMS boys in Cornwall. I believe that there were only around 200 of these things made and they are pretty rare now! This one is number 147! It's in great condition hardly a mark on it however, it might need a bit of cleaner on some of the faders as there is a slight scratchy sound when moving some of them. The mixer level 2 fader may also need reseating as it seems a tiny bit wobbly!. There are 11 of the original patch cables to go with this thing too including 2 Y cable splitters. The thing sounds WEIRD but ultra cool. Only needs 12 big 1.5V Eveready batteries and your away! If you want to learn a bit more type "Synthi E" into google and check out some of the sites. WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE

MAIN FEATURES INCLUDE:
* Input Amplifier with low (Microphone) and high (line) level inputs.
* Envelope Follower providing a voltage proportional to the amplitude of the input.
* Oscillator 1 with true exponential voltage control of frequency and three simultaneous output waveforms (sine, triangle and voltage controlled pulse)
* Oscillator 2 for slow control voltages such as glissando or vibrato.
* Filter/Oscillator 3 with v.c. low, high and band pass filter or pure sine wave.
* Modulator for envelope shaping or ring modulation. Noise Generator.
* Trapezoid Generator for multiple simultaneous trapezoid waveforms. These may be used for envelope shaping (trigger mode) or for low frequency waveforms (free run mode).
* Manual-Slide tape Controllers (2) for obtaining control voltages. One slide-tape is stepped and may be used as a keyboard and the other for variable control. One provides a trigger pulse. Both may be temporarily marked or written on.
* Inverter to invert control voltages or signals.
* Monitor Amplifier and Loudspeaker with two input mixer faders
