RMI Harmonic Synthesizer


via this auction

"The RMI Harmonic Synthesizer. This is serial number 128. There were under 200 of these made, and this one is in amazing condition and fully functional. It was recently calibrated and this unit comes with built in stand, owner's and service manuals, and lots of hard to find spare chips incase you ever need them. I would almost want to call this mint, but I have a hard time calling any 35 year old synthesizer mint.

From Sonic State [link]:

Totally excellent,marvellous synthesizer. The very first digital, additive synthesizer on market.

Very rare (only about 200 ever made)

Notably user : Jean Michel Jarre on Oxygene,Equinoxe,Rendez-Vous,Oxygene 7-13

For more information about how it works, see here"

  1. I've always wanted to try one of these. Any digi synth with knobs seems like a good idea... You never know how it sounds until you play with one in person. Jarre's live OXYGENE video uses it clearly on some things.
