Prey (good audio)

"99% the same patch as the Fibonacci patch, but this time clocked by the Elektron Monomachine with Machinedrum playing along. The rest of the cables are the same, but some modified knob settings.

Phasing and some light gain courtesy of guitar pedals. Drenched in Eventide reverb, and all live as usual.

Reminds me of 80's movie stalking music from a dramedy cop movie, a la Running Scared, BH Cop, 48Hrs, etc. Just needs some funky bass lines."

Korg Minikorg 700

via this auction
"There has been one modification done to it by the previous owner in the late 70s: a 1/8 jack socket has been installed on the back panel which runs to the inside someplace and provides access to pitch bend DOWN ONLY beyond the standard range. A small project box with an ON/OFF switch and a pot/knob can be plugged in here to achieve this bend down. It has no affect on normal operation and plugging it in is entirely optional. If I recall, there is a slight pitch shift either when the plug is in place or when switched on - I don't recall which, and this can be easily offset with the normal tuning slider. He told me he did this so he could pitch bend down without detuning the synth. It may be able to be modified to provide more options, such as bending up also, but these are questions for the new owner to ponder.

v2 Jomox SunSyn Analog Synthesizer

via this auction
"This instrument was fully serviced, v2.0 upgraded, and burnt in by Jürgen Michaelis, the man behind JoMoX GmbH, in December of 2009.

Those who say that modern analog synthesizers simply cannot contend with their classic brethren simply have not played the SunSyn! And at under 200 units ever made, this is understandable. As a point of comparison, there were around 2000 Roland Jupiter 8 synthesizers produced. It has been noted by well versed users that the sunsyn can pull off a lot of other synths, but yet, not very many synths can 'pull off a sunsyn' when it's being modulated and when it's using the RCO digital waveforms or wave sequencing to its fullest. The power of having those RCOs at your disposal is nothing short of amazing.

The SunSyn also employs an elegantly designed routing system allowing modulation and signal routing usually found only on the full blown classic modular synths by ARP, E-mu, Moog and Buchla, turning it into an 8-voice modular with complete patch memory and multitimbral MIDI implementation. The multi-mode filter section is also a true analog design but with very modern features. It is a 4-pole filter but fully configurable with independent high pass and low pass switching for each pole, with a cross fader allowing seamless morphing sweeps between any two 'filter presets' you want. Create filters that range from the sounds of a Minimoog, to the squelchy 303 or classic Oberheim, or timbers completely unique to the SunSyn and morph between them as you play, or use it to set the 'bounds' of filter sweep for recording or performance situations setting zero to the lowest desired cuttoff and full crank as the highest cutoff, resonance envelope amount desired. Again a feature typically only found in the realm of high end modular synthesizers such as Serge Modular Music Synthesizers.

In addition to the two discrete analog oscillators per voice the SunSyn also has a pair of Ramp Controlled Oscillators fed by 7 wavesets with 248 waveforms each. With the version 2 upgrade these RCOs can include user waves or short samples uploaded to the SunSyn with user defined start points which restart syncronous to note triggers, and a loop length allowing the play back of samples of about 1.5 sec length.

While the version 2 upgrade does bring a final resolution to the bug list that SunSyn users have lived with for years, as well as adding new functionality and improving tuning, stability and noise, one of the most important yet often overlooked improvements is the inclusion of a firmware based boot-BIOS. This new boot routine which executes under any circumstances provides the user with the tools to recover from any potential issue regardless of the severity. This is just one more element allowing the SunSyn to be enjoyed as it ages and becomes part of the ranks of the vintage classics."

Modified Moog Opus-3 Polyphonic Paraphonic Synthesizer

via this auction

"If you’re not familiar with the Opus, it’s basically Moog Music’s version of an ‘orchestra’ synthesizer, having separate String, Brass, and Organ sections. It uses divide-down technology, which makes it basically ‘allophonic’ in that all keys can be simultaneously played. There’s a classic Moog filter which the Brass and Organ sections can be run through, and an analog Chorus section which the Strings and Organ can be run through. There’s also a triangle LFO for modulation of the oscillators or the filter, a pitch wheel, and an ‘articulator’ (basically the output VCA).

maintenance/improvements:
* Cleaned out the horrible foam that destroys the sliders
* Replaced all the sliders and switches with new ones from Technology Transplant (a $150 value, just for the parts)
* Recapped the electrolytics on the panel board and the power supply

modifications to this unit; most of these are very basic but very useful:
* Expanded the range of the LFO, from very slow (~ 0.1Hz) to audio range (>30 Hz)
* Added an audio input to the VCF
* Added an audio input to the Chorus circuit
* Added a ‘GATE IN’ jack (triggerable by voltage > 2V)
* Replaced the slider caps with Arp-like, color-coded rubber nips (I still have all the old slider caps, and I’ll include them with the shipped unit)

...the Opus had one of the better implementations of the Moog filter and this unit allows an external input to be run through it while being triggered from an external gate. Feeding a sound into the analog Chorus can certainly add richness and shimmer. And, credit where credit is due: the modifications that I’ve made were inspired by a Moog Opus-3 that was ebay’ed several years ago by a well-known Moog synth technician. Note that he did not make the modifications to this unit - I did - but he should get credit for the ideas!

Now for the bad news. There’s a cosmetic flaw in that the front panel sticker on this unit is fraying in the upper corners (see the pictures). It’s not a progressing problem, as it’s been like that since I got the unit 4 years ago and it never bothered me."

The sound is very very oberheim like to my ears but maybe a tad more out there and in a way better for me , the crumar synths have a unique tone and are a favourite with bands like the boards of canada i read and other people into the warbling and wow and flutter like synth tones and nopstalgia sound.This synth can with ease do alot of those tape effect like pads and tones due to its lfo's having a unique waveform and the ability to mix these to the same source .Its very very good for plucked and rich bass sounds aswell and tuned chords.

I have had this running alonside an oberheim xpander and also a few other synths including a Prophet 5 and this is there equal to my ears and sometimes way richer and more creative.Its modulation sources and being able to patch them to multiple destinations is also a cool feature as you can do dual lfo tricks and allsorts of mad and beautifull chaotic special sfx , it excels at vintage synth sfx."

Korg Vocoder VC-10

SN 160650 via this auction

"The Original, and still champion, Vocoder from Korg. [It's not the original vocoder, but it IS the original Korg vocoder] I feel it's far superior to the vocoder features in the newer units. [I own an MS2000R and the vocoder in it does not hold a candle to this] This is probably due to it being made EXCLUSIVELY to be a vocoder. This has both Microphone and carrier signal inputs to allow use as a processor. It's a gas to run a drum machine through it to create VERY unique timbres. The built-in carrier signal features an "ensemble" effect which is somewhat like a chorus effect - not unlike the chorus effect on some older roland gear. You can mix the carrier signal with a built-in noise generator for more varied effect as this enhances any sibilance present on the mic input.

The top panel mic input is for a proprietary Korg mic which I never owned. I have heard that they were kind of crap anyway and the only advantage is that they attach directly to the top panel. Any mic with a 1/4 plug can be input to the front panel mic jack, and this is how I have always used it. If you are using a more exotic mic, or something that requires phantom power you will have to figure out how to do so. I always used a simple Beyer dynamic.

NOTE: The interface standard is the old and somewhat odd Korg Hz/V system, wherein the frequency is proportional to the control voltage [not the more common 1V/octave as on MOST older synthesizers and virtually all new modulars]. It is possible to adapt a "standard" 1v/Oct to communicate with this, but it's not perfect and prone to inaccuracy at the extreme ends of the range. This WILL interface with other old Korg gear [MS-10/MS-20/MS-50/SQ-10/etc] with no trouble at all [I have connected my MS-10 and it works perfectly].

15. master power switch on/off indicated in red
16. intuitive and through interface with as much spacing as possible for all controls
17. manual and bend diagram emailed to winning bidder

finished in white/black paint job with plenty of clear coat to seal

a few things i'd like to address that have been asked previously. regardless of who bent your instrument every bend on an sk-1 will most likely respond differently in different settings.. for example you will get different results in sample mode then in a preset.. and from one preset to another.. i have bent the instrument to be as stable as possible in all modes of the instruments.

the pitch and lfo is fine tuned. if a pitch is allowed to go too high it will glitch and will otherwise interrupt a good sound, loop, or bent function of the instrument. where this glitch occurs is different between sk-1's..the range therfore of the pitch control will sweep approximately up to 3 octaves down and approximately an octave or so above normal pitch of the note.

the right side of the instrument is the functional side of the instrument featuring mixing, reset and power indication... the casio is capable of 4 notes/sounds at a time along with drums.. the switches on this side allow you to mix on the fly or isolate certain sounds. this is especially useful when the instrument is locked in a particular bent function or loop and doesn't respond to key information. this way you can isolate a particular sound in the lock or loop and sample that particular sound or have only that sound running.

the patch bay is setup to be as stable as possible. these are not ins or outs to other devices.. they are meant to be patched within the patchbay only and will allow you to create new bends on your own.. since it's experimental it's not as stable for live use but great for studio work. with a little planning the patch bay can also be used in live use with good stability.. they will offer new bends not available on switches along with variations to bends that are located on the switches. for example if there is a filter on a switch it is most likely you will get a variation of the filter on the patch bay.. a vocoder like sound can shift in harmonics with a little experimentation on the patch bay.

and the sk-1 will function as normal provided that all bends are not activated.. it is highly recommended that you understand how the instrument works and experiment with bends in all modes to make the best and widest use of your instrument. there are plenty of good resources on the web with manuals to download.

Roland RE-501 Space Echo

via this auction
"Roland's professional tape delay system featuring advanced low noise circuitry and balanced in/outputs as well as stereo output. It combines four effects ; Chorus (analog circuitry similar to the roland dc 20/30) Echo (tape delay / 6 six modes ) Sound on sound (tape layering effect unique to the 501) Reverb (spring reverb tank) All effects can be used alone on mixed in any combination. In my opinion the sound is clean though the delay is still very much tape like in character. Where this equipment shines is in the ability to create and mix together very beautiful chorus/ delays/ reverbs so easily."
