ETI International 4600
images via this auction. via AdamThere are some fantastic shots of the inside and outside in this set so be sure to check them out. Click on the All Sizes link on the top of each image for the full detail.
"This is a very rare ETI 4600 synthesizer and would suit a synth enthusiast or collector.
All knobs/switches present and faceplate mint!!
Powerful Analog machine 4 vcos (and the 4th has two outputs) !!! A matrix patch bay allows for incredible routing options, I’ve used this along side an ems synthi and it gives it a good run for its money. This thing is ultra fat and makes the craziest sound effects, mega sci-fi sounds with its inbuilt spring reverb. Absolutely unreal for sound effects!!
Electronically it has been professionally put together, I am told by the previous owner that the guys from fairlight built it from kit form. The cabinet isn’t the best and needs a tidy up or even nicer would be to rebuild it with an attractive timber. It comes with cabinet construction diagrams in the manual. The keyboard is missing some keys, but you can use generic organ keyboards with this machine (or what I was going to do is get rid of the keyboard and make a new cabinet as an expander module without keys).
These don’t show up often at all. Parts are still available and the manual shows in great detail how to build it, Do some research on this synth and you will find there is a lot you can do with it. Mod it or expand it etc. linkI recently did a full test on the synth with the following results:
Oscillator 1 - All Range settings, Tune, Free run, Shape and All waveforms tested and working.
Oscillator 2 - All Range settings, Tune, Free run, Shape and All waveforms tested and working.
Oscillator 3 - Intermittent, was working and now isn’t.
Oscillator 4 - All Range settings, Tune, Free run, Shape and All waveforms tested and working.
Oscillator 4, Second output - All waveforms, including noise selection and Controller tested and working.
Noise generator - Pink and white tested and working.
Mixer 1 - Tested and working.
Mixer 2 - Tested and working.
Mixer 3 - Tested and working.
Mixer 4 - Tested and working.
Mixer 5 - Tested and working.
Filter 1 - Tested and working.
Filter 2 - Tested and working.
Joystick - Tested and working in both planes, range pot also working.
Keyboard Control – Sweep, Glide, Transient, Modulation and Tune tested and working.
Keyboard – Tested but not tracking 100% (needs calibrating)
Equalizer – All five bands tested and working.
Reverb - Tested and working.
Main Output - Tested and working, no crackle upon turning volume pot.
Headphone Output – Works, but is very crackly upon turning volume pot.
External Inputs 1 and 2 - Tested and working.
Amplifiers 1 and 2 - Tested and working.
Controller – Level is working but I’m not able to get any change with modulation.
Envelope control - Tested and working.
Transient 1 - Tested and working.
Transient 2 - Tested and working.
Its heavy !! weighs 20kg unpacked. Allow 4kg for packing (I will pack it very well)
The synth could be sent without keyboard and cabinet to reduce weight if seller prefers
Approximate Size (packed) 105x45x50cm"
Admin: Quick Note on Videos
Apologies for all the videos going up, but as the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. I'm noticing that some YouTube vids are playing choppy on my system. No doubt due to the increased number I'm putting up due to NAMM. However, if I click on the title link of a post the video will play fine in the resulting page as it no longer has to compete for resources. I thought I'd throw this tip out for anyone that might be seeing the same. So... If a video is slow, click on the title of the post and watch it in the resulting page.

The Harvestman Polivoks Filter Demo
This one via Adam."It's a great filter with a ton of character and grit. For me, the real test of a great filter is how it performs as an FM carrier (assuming it can self-oscillate). Many filters do a good job here, but the Polivoks really takes the cake... it even beats out my rev 2 prophet 5."
Anchorsong - Devils Clap
YouTube via yohage.
"Anchorsong is the solo project by Masaaki Yoshida from Tokyo, Japan.
He creates music with sampler (AKAI MPC2000XL) and keyboard(KORG Triton) right in front of the audience.
In other words, he re-creates the process of composing on stage. Some people say, "It's like watching a painter drawing on a white canvas."
His 1st EP "The Storytelling EP" was released as a double disc (CD & LIVE DVD) in Japan on 16/05/2007.
After making his career for 3 years in Tokyo, he has moved to London. He's been playing at many live venues and night clubs."
Cyber Psychic vs. Pigtronix Echolution
YouTube via Analogger
"The Csyber Psychic is a strange pedal that contains an analog lowpass filter with a pre-amp along with two oscillators that modulate the filter, input audio, and each other in bizarre ways. One of the basic ways to use it is with a guitar...but the Cyber Psychic is also capable of making insane noises by itself. I fed the Cyber Psychic into a Pigtronix Echolution which is a magnificent analog delay. It has a series of tap switches that can divide the echo into different rhythmic permutations. It is the best sounding analog delay I've ever heard. I was intending to put something up on YouTube with my guitar thru the Echolution but I got distracted when I plugged the Cyber Psychic into it. I had my little Marshall set up and miked, but once I started droning I set the guitar aside for another day. This is all recorded with my 30 watt Marshall on the clean setting using a Shure SM-57."
"Chapel of love" - on Viscount RBX-850
YouTube via organfairy
"The Viscount RBX-850 is a little organ with a limited amount of PCM voices. In this song I use the Roland CR-68 drum machine for the rhytm and the Yamaha HE-8 organ and Roland JX-8P synthesizer (outside the picture - controlled by the Yamaha via MIDI) for the chords. The Viscount is used for the bass and the melodi. On top of it is a little Hohner PK40 keyboard that I use for the in-between notes."

Kindred Lost - Right English
via David Ryle on the Waldorf list:
"Here is an ambient piece constructed from the Blofeld, XT, and MicroQ.
http://iacmusic.com/songs.aspx?SongID=54210&ArtistID=75075
(click the play icon when you get there)
What was fun was that there is no arpeggiators or single notes played. I simply held down two note octave chords for minutes at a time. The only keyboard entry changes are the key signature changes.
The Blofeld does the entry sounds and some of the pitch-shifted tonal bendings are a Blofeld patch. The bass line is the XT and the main moving part is the MicroQ. What makes it sound like a slow arpeggiator doing the motion is actually the LFO's in square wave timed to modify the pitch. All three synths are doing the same thing essentially. This idea came from the Blofeld factory patch G014 Comb Tree. That patch is included at the beginning and towards the end.
The whole piece consists of four tracks.
There is a track with a string and noise modulated patch from the Korg R3 and Clavia Nord Lead 2X that underlies the background. It is almost completely masked by the Waldorfs and can only be heard at the very beginning and just after midway. I could make a Waldorf patch to do the same thing but was playing around during the track writing when I came up with this mullti-patch so I left it in."

Keytek CTS 2000
Two sites sent my way via swissdoc:
cts2000.html
m_keytek_e.htm
"The Keytek line was an attempt at reviving Siel around 1987. There were several models produced, the CTS-1000 (boring 8 voice synth, preset only), CTS-2000, CTS-5000 (piano-style keyboard), CTS-400 (4-octave keyboard, similar to CTS-1000?), and at several home keyboards (I know of the K-50 and K-60, perhaps there were more). As far as I can tell, the CTS-2000 is the only interesting model. The Keytek line didn't last long, as Siel went out of business and was bought by Roland. It's a fairly ugly synth, Obviously influenced by the DX7 design with membrane buttons and nasty 80's colors accenting its gray case. And it's fairly heavy considering the case is plastic."Also see previous posts here.
The Publison KB 2000
via this auction
"Here is a vintage brochure original ( not a copy) from the French Synthesizer designed PUBLISON AUDIO PROFESSIONAL Paris France.
The brochure measures 8 1/2" x 11". The brochure is two sided in color. One side shows the Synth KB 2000 and the other side shows the audio computer model DHM 89 B@ Stereo unit. This unit has a dual digital delay, pitch shifting memory latch."
Update via Qwave in the comments: "Here is a scan of my original leaflet I got from an early eighties Musik Messe in Frankfurt.
I was a schoolboy then."
Roland 100 101
images via this auction"The Synthesizer 101 section is a fully self-contained analog mono-synth. It features a 37-note keyboard (with no performance controls, velocity or aftertouch), and lots of sliders to tweak. Its design is similar to the SH-series analog synths. Controls for the VCO, LFO, VCF lowpass/highpass filters, VCA with ADSR, Noise, and Portamento/Glide effects are all within hands reach. There's also a handy A-440Hz tuning oscillator, like on the Minimoog.
220-250VAC 50/60Hz 10W
Fitted with original Australian 240V plug. Serial number 480622"

Krzysztof Antkowiak records the Yamaha GX-1 Pt 2
YouTube via RothHandle.
"I am currently producing the thirs album of the polish artist Krzysztof Antkowiak and today we started working on song number seven for the album. It turned out to be a slightly dancey track with drummachines, VP-330+, synkits and other nonsense...
Well anyway I had a feeling that one of the Yamaha GX-1 sounds just might fit the track. The sound you can hear is coming from the two massive tone cabinets left and right of the three manual keyboard.
This Yamaha GX-1 belongs to Benny Andersson of ABBA and used to be located at the Polar studio. Now it is at Roth Händle studios. It is the same machine John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin used on In through the outdoor.
If you are interested in similar artefacts the Roth Händle studio might be of interest...So please consider us for your next recording project, wedding or funural.

"Music: DX5. Lyrics: Luckyboy (from www.dmforever.tk)
Yes. Notice that I DON'T SING. It is a pre recorded voice. Some mistakes due to the set configuration (the Roland should be below the Emax, not in L configuration).
Played over a backtape recorded by myself. Top: Emu Emax. Right hand: Roland JX8P.
Backtape recording was also done with a Yamaha DX7 and DX7IIFD, Roland D10, Reason."
