PRO 2

Yamaha DX-7 mark 1 "chocolate" (dark brown almost black) VINTAGE with its case from the same period, as well as the Yamaha speakers. Perfect functioning. The original LCD display "drool" a little, but it has not been changed to keep the original. FM sound with Yamaha quality.

Analog paraphonic synthesizer with 2 oscillators, a multimode filter, a drone function, a white noise generator, 3 loopable envelopes and 30 patch points! The 2nd version of the Dreadbox Nyx is a very good analog paraphonic synth with a great amplitude on the settings. The quality of manufacture is there: real wood panels, steel case, very strong and resistant pots.  Without patch, we can find a sound close to ARPs although more versatile thanks to the multimode filter and the 2 mods in addition to the VCA and the LFO. We will also appreciate the drone mode which works perfectly with the cavernous embedded reverb. Patch points are welcome and allow you to take this module off the beaten track. It can also be easily integrated into a modular setup. In short, you can lose hours in sound design by switching from big analog bass to futuristic sounds.

A distinctive analog instrument that brings raw sound, step-sequencing and extensive interconnectivity to any electronic or modular ecosystem. This expansive live performance and production synthesizer is designed to provide experimental musicians and synthesists with a diverse array of creative tools to inspire new ideas, unique sound and endless sonic exploration.Drive synchronized sound with Mother 32’s powerful step sequencer while utilizing its modular patchbay and assignable output to spawn a living, breathing organism with dynamic and modifiable sound processing. Patch multiple control and sound sources into Mother-32’s voltage controlled mixers and truly unlock the vast potential of this powerful instrument, or pull all of the patch cables, plug in a MIDI cable and simply drive your Mother-32 from any MIDI-equipped device. The Mother-32 is secured in an extruded aluminum enclosure with wood sides, but can also easily be relocated to almost any Eurorack enclosure.

It is an inconspicuously compact, subharmonic bass machine designed to integrate seamlessly into any performance or  computer-based music workflow . Just as its progenitors, the Minitaur effortlessly does one thing above all others… wall splitting analog BASS. The solid steel enclosure of the Minitaur is deceptively simple - offering immediate access to critical sound design and performance controls only. This makes Minitaur extremely fast and easy to use--but just under the surface lies a vast expanse of dynamic and inspirational power that is instantly accessible from almost any laptop or MIDI controller. The free Minitaur Editor software truly unlocks Minitaur’s power and flexibility by making DAW integration and control completely seamless on both Mac and Windows machines. Load and save up to 128 presets onto your Minitaur, select from 6 different modulation waveshapes , engage Hard Sync, access full ADSR envelopes, MIDI sync the LFO, reset oscillator waveform cycles, polychain with other Moog synthesizers and more. Every feature can be manipulated, automated and recalled instantly.

The Grandmother is a playground that goes back to the roots of Moog modular synthesizers, in which the goal of synthesis is not only the result but an immersive journey into the world of discovery or experimentation. Able to create complex sounds and modulations, the semi-modular design of the Grandmother does not require a patch, allowing anyone, regardless of their experience and knowledge, to explore and discover the magic of analog synthesis. Inspired by the previous classic Moog modular synthesizers, the Grandmother's sound engine and integrated spring reverberation are completely analogical, providing access to an infinite range of sound, of incomparable beauty and power. In addition, the Grandmother also has an arpeggiator and sequencer for more fun. The additional patch and modular exploration capabilities will open up this playground to a new horizon allowing you to explore the infinite possibilities of module relationships. Patcher also allows you to redesign internal connections, each section can function as an independent module. In addition to its standalone functions, the Grandmother is also an ideal analog audio processor for processing external sound sources, as well as the perfect keyboard to accompany the Mother-32, DFAM or any modular system in Eurorack format.
