MFB...for sale!

Analog drum synthesizer
The MFB-503 drumcomputer brings fresh sounds to your beats.

The third drum-computer in MFB''s 50X series introduces a more powerful sound and a new operational concept. Due to its analogue origin, kick, snare and toms can be edited in various ways. The drum kit is completed by the 2 sampled instruments cymbals (crash & ride available) and hi-hats (2 variations). In addition, the samples of each group can be continuously mixed to create further sound variations. Sounds can be saved individually as well as complete drum kits.

The instruments are triggered by an internal step-sequencer. This TR-style sequencer uses the beloved LED-per-step method to set the selected instruments. There are 90 memory locations for patterns that can be further combined into 90 songs. Instruments are edited by 4 master rotary encoders with corresponding displays.
Power: 12V power supply
Dimensions: 175mm x 125mm x 38/72mm
Weight: 0.9 Kg

YAMAHA RS7000 seq/sampler etc...for sale!

Amazing piece of kit, workstation, groovebox, sequencer & sampler!...a monster!

SELLER INFO:
The RS7000 is a major groove production workstation! It's sort of like Akai's MPC-series, combining sampling and sequencing, but with an added internal synth engine. The RS7000 is particularly suited for dance, techno, Hip Hop, R&B, and ambient genres.

The sampler section consists of a 4MB (expandable to 64MB) sampler (5kHz to 44.1kHz or 32kHz to 48kHz via digital option board). You can use it to sample external sounds, re-sample the RS7000's sounds itself, or load samples from a variety of common formats! Auto-beat slicing lets you easily sample any loops or sounds and sync them to your sequence tempo! All the professional sampling and editing features you'd expect are here, and more!

The tone generator offers 62-voice polyphonic AWM2 synthesis, with over 1,000 synth sounds and 63 drum kit sounds (all via ROM). Here you'll find the resonant filters (6 types), advanced LFO modulation, BPM-synchronized LFO waveforms, and more! Edits made to the internal sounds, as well as to any samples are all stored within your sequence patterns.

The Sequencer is the real meat of the RS7000, where you make music out of the sounds it's got and that you've put into it! It offers pattern-based recording with 16 tracks each, and a 200,000 note-per-song capacity. Linear sequencer sequencing, like you would do using a software sequencer like Cubase, is also supported by the RS7000. Pattern-based sequences can be converted to the linear format as well. Realtime, grid and step recording methods are also available. Linking patterns into songs can be done in real time and meticulously tweaked. Total MIDI control, real-time hands on control, 18 assignable knobs and two pads, a Master effect section (with a multi-band compressor, slicer, isolater, other DJ-style master effects), and more make the RS7000 the most professional quality groove/loop/dance machine out there! It has been used by Hardfloor.

KORG KEIO contesa minipops MP7 vintage...for sale!

Listed here is this classic Keio Korg Contessa Mini Pops 7 Automatic Rhythm Instrument.

This rare drum machine made in the early 70's was made by the Keio Electronic Lab in Tokyo Japan. It was made famous by Jean-Michel Jarre on his 1976 "Oxygene" album.

There was a later version of this rhythm machine available labelled Univox SR-95. They were meant to be identical but there were two major differences. On the later version, the "Beguine" pattern was different and the "Rim Shot" was replaced with a "Cowbell". This doesn't sound like much but anyone trying to recreate Jean-Michel Jarre's sound would struggle because both the original Beguine pattern and the rim shot were used extensively by the French master of lazers!

To the unit itself. It's in perfect working order with no issues. Every control is operating exactly as it should and the sound is crisp and clean. All the contacts are clean and there are no scratchy sounds from any of the buttons, sliders or the tempo control.

Cosmetically, this Mini Pops 7 is in excellent condition. It's missing its "Back Door" but that doesn't cause any problems. The chrome carry handle and retaining clip are still present and operational. All in all, this is a fantastic and very collectable Rhythm machine in perfect working order.

SYNDRUM Quad Vintage Analog Custom...for sale!

SELLER INFO:
This listing is for a nice Syndrum Quad with custom wood sides. The unit is 100% functional and in nice cosmetic condition as well. Included is a really long (I think it's 15 or 20 ft) breakout cable in order to trigger the 4 modules. It was wired into my patchbay so you will just need to add 1/4" connectors to the 4 ends. I had it custom made because the original trigger cable was short and always got tangled.

SOUNDMASTER Stix 305...analogue...for sale!

SELLER INFO:
Sound Master Stix ST-305 Analogue Drum machine.
A great little drum machine made in 1981 which was a direct answer to the Roland Trs.

In very good condition.
It has a very strong mellow thump sound to the kick and general all round analogue warmth which can be controlled from the sweep of the hard to soft tone control to bring its presence out, it sounds great.

Sequencer - 16-step sequencer with Fill-in and Variation effects
Patterns - 8 programmable rhythm patterns (six 16-step, two 12-step)
It also has control trigger in and out, one a constant clock pulse and the other programmable via the accent.

The real beauty of the is machine is it has a direct output for every drum sound.
I have only ever used this drum machine with batteries as I never wanted to risk using a power supply or giving it the wrong voltage or impedance, but I’m sure it would work fine with a power adaptor, but as I say it’s a lovely machine and I wasn’t prepared to take that risk and the batteries last for ages anyway, the batteries are used for its memory also.

It does come with its original manual but it’s in German you may be able to find a UK manual on line somewhere.

Please note, personally it took me a bit of time to get my head around it to program, and it has to be programmed to get any sound out of it, but once up and running it is a very unique drum machine and I’m sure there’s not many of these around.

RARE Vintage Ace Tone Rhythm Ace FR8L....for sale!

SELLER INFO:
Vintage Ace Tone Rhthym Ace FR8L 'Rhythym Producer' analogue Drum Machine.
These machines are becoming more and more rare, and this one is in full working order.
'Ace Tone' were founded in 1960 and went on to become a name we all know these days, Roland.
This unit was launched around 1974, and dates from that time.
It's housed in an elegant wooden cabinet, which has a couple of minor scuffs and marks, but for something that's almost 40 years old, and was heavily used in its earlier days, it's done not badly. The only thing 'wrong' with it, is the screws have been removed from the folding music desk! The Music desk is there (as can be seen in the pics) and will need 6 small screws to re-attach it.

We have a sensible reserve on this unit, or you can buy it now!
There is only this one, and once it's sold, it's sold.
As it is such an instrinsically valuable piece of musical history, we would prefer it to be collected, but will courier at cost.

Note, these usually sell for between £130 and £160 and the reserve price reflects this.
If someone uses the 'buy it now' button we will however, include carriage if required.

RARE Simmons CLAP TRAP....for sale!

Heres some info from the seller:

You are bidding on a rare SIMMONS CLAP TRAP hand clap synthesizer with a Diamond Series DS-750 Step Up/Step Down U.S. to U.K voltage transformer.

The Simmons Clap Trap was made in England. This one is in very good cosmetic and working condition. All of the adjustments (volume, humaniser, delay) work perfectly. I haven't tried the foot switch or any of the other triggers so I can't be 100% positive that they work. 3 knobs are missing face plates but that doesn't affect the working of the machine.

The transformer is required to use the Clap Trap in the U.S. It weighs 10 lbs. and will be shipped separately within the U.S. (by a slower and cheaper method) and will not be shipped to foreign bidders.

ROLAND TR707....a classic....for sale!

Heres the info from the ebay seller:

RELISTED DUE TO BUYER CHANGING THEIR MIND - PLEASE NOTE: I DO NOT SHIP TO OVERSEAS BUYERS!*
As heard on countless classic Chicago house and acid tracks, the TR 707 is still as distinctive - and fantastic - as when it first appeared over 25 years ago.
Although not revered in the same way as the 808 and 909 rhythm composers, its sounds are instantly recognizable.

Item is in very good condition. There are some very minor cosmetic marks but nothing that affects performance. The LCD matrix screen, faders, buttons and connections are all fully functional. The battery compartment cover is missing (this is common with any of these units these days), but you can still use batteries for memory back-up without any issues. I can't vouch for the condition of the cartridge slot, as I've not used it.

Does not come in original box or user manual (a PDF of which can be found very easily online, anyway), and the PSU is a suitable replacement.

More information on the TR 707, including a video of one in action:

KAY Rhythmer VTG Model R12...for sale!

Heres some info from the seller of this great machine:

Hello everyone, I got lots of questions about this machine so I went and did my homework!
I was able to borrow an amplifier to plug it in and test it - here is what I found out:
it does make the sound of the beats, in all of the different styles and tempos BUT: there is a constant sound coming out of the speaker - like a high-pitched, constant tone. I have no idea what that means - is it a problem with my friend's amp? A feedback situation? Something that can be fixed? I just don't know. I don't know if this is something that is happening because of the drum machine itself or because of the cord or if it's something that needs fixing or if this machine needs to be discarded completely.

If you know exactly what this means, how to fix it or work around it, then it is for you.
Otherwise, if there are no bids, I will assume that it is, sadly, for landfill.

Please scroll down to see all photos. Pre-owned vintage drum machine by Kay.

KORG's new analog synth & drumbox!

Introduction
Analog Synth + Analog Rhythm + Step Sequencer = Analog Electribe

The monotribe Analog Ribbon Station – bringing responsive realtime control to analog groove-making.

Monotribe highlights:
•The powerful sound of true analog synthesis
•3-part analog drums, using discrete analog circuitry
•Popular Electribe-style sequencing.
•Active Step and Flux features for realtime dynamic loop manipulation
•Advanced multi-function ribbon keyboard; Chromatic, Continuous, & Wide modes
•Auto-tuning provides stable pitch for accurate chromatic playability
•Selectable oscillator waveform, noise generator, and versatile LFO
•Uses the same VCF (filter) circuit as the classic MS-10/MS-20
•Sync In & Out jacks allows synchronized integration with multiple units
•Battery operation, built-in speaker and compact size deliver on-the-go groove-making

In a world seemingly ruled by digital, Korg created an analog sensation with the palm-sized monotron Analogue Ribbon Synthesizer. Korg has once again raised the analog banner with the amazing monotribe Analog Ribbon Station; a new form of synthesizer that packs an amazing array of features and technology into its compact body. Korg’s monotribe shares the monotron’s analog DNA, yet quickly delves deeper into the rich, organic, and often chaotic world of analog synthesis. In addition to analog synthesis, monotribe brings together intuitive ease of use and a three-part discrete analog rhythm section, plus the proven appeal of Electribe-style sequencing. Complete with a built-in speaker and battery power, monotribe is self-contained and highly portable.

LINN Electronics LM1, the 1st ever....for sale!!!

Linn Electronics LM-1 Drum Computer.
It is the very first model ever made by Roger Linn and has a serial number 00461 (0nly 500 were made).
Unit was tested and plays sequences (sometimes just bleeps), though it's very intermittent-it fails to load sounds, sometimes will freeze etc. Servicing is required to get it to its original working condition though we think that it may be that it's just the tape that needs changing (plus a general clean-up).

Needless to say it's a pre-1982 historic piece and very collectable!
NO RESERVE!
Unit is sold as it is.

This is THE classic drum machine of the 80's - it launched the drum machine revolution! The Linn LM-1 Drum Computer was created by guitarist Roger Linn and he used samples of acoustic drum sounds. At the time, they sounded great and much more realistic and they were a fresh alternative to the analog drum sounds of the '80's drum machines. About 500 LM-1's were made before the LinnDrum model appeared in 1982.

There are twelve 28kHz samples including: snare, kick, three toms, hi-hat's, tambourine, congas, claps, cowbell, and rimshot, but no ride or crash. There are also 100 memory patches! Patterns can be created in real or step time. An innovations of the time was the swing and quantize functions that appeared on the LM-1. The LM-1 is an historical synth that has a place in the sound of music from the heart of the '80's. Only 500 of these things are out there so don't count on finding one easily. It has been used by Phil Collins, Thompson Twins, Stevie Wonder, Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, The Human League, Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis, John Carpenter, Todd Rundgren, Prince, and The Art of Noise.

ROLAND TR707...for sale!

Having a loft clearout and came across some of my old home studio kit. This is a Roland TR707 in superb condition.

It was working fine the last time I used it (some time in the 1980's!), although I don't have the means to test it now, so it's bought as seen. Note that it includes the manual, but regretfully the power supply is missing (although it should be easy to replace - you just need a 12V DC power brick).

There's no point in describing it's features - if you're looking at this listing then I guess it's safe to assume you know about this classic machine! Google for more info - or go to http://www.vintagesynth.com/roland/707.php

ROLAND TR808....for sale!

This auction is for a very clean Roland TR-808 Drum Machine.
It is only missing one orange knob cap (on CH) and the Low Tom volume pot is a little bit noisy. I haven't tried using DeOxit on the pot but it might clean up easily. Otherwise it looks and works really well, syncs tight and sounds like an 808 should - funky and ballsy!
This auction includes:
- Roland TR-808 Drum Machine w/ power cable
This device will be shipped boxed very safely by an individual with a passion for musical electronics - not by a shipping depot employee. This item is sold as-is, but has been tested prior to listing and found to be working without problems.
