wow tons of interest already
to respond to some common questions
i haven't got a price in mind so please make an offer
i would prefer to sell to uk it's true (and deliver it personally) to save postal destruction etc but insured/trackable courier etc is possible. it'll take some serious packing.
breaking my heart to sell it but i am building a house now & family to concentrate on, won't be able to use the stuff properly for years and don't want it to go to waste or get broken etc in the meantime
besides, i have done hundreds of tracks on it, time for someone else.
it really is an exceptional setup and most importantly sounds like nothing else
i have never read about or seen a really decent demo of what it can really do, just scratching the surface (no offence meant youtubers), mainly because it is rare and very deep, i am pretty sharp on it now but still getting sounds i didn't imagine from it. retrograde sequences, microtonal, just pure luxury. i have loads of schematics, manuals, experimental proceedures for it.
if if i had space and maybe a little more spare cash i would keep it but in my opinion all set up together the units are 3 times more amazing than their individual parts, i.e using the 300 with the 401 to change the key of sequenced loops live and added 200 (exp out from 400/401 for voltage) for extra oscillators, ring mod etc, it becomes very arp 2500, or ems or moog modular. but not. it just sounds like "a long time ago in a galaxy far away". suprisingly good for massive dubstep basslines as well as fierce acid! loads of hidden dual features to discover too. syncs from a tr-606 or cv/gate with a korg ms02 for example. i have played on 100s of synths and this is in my top 10 for sure. i don't want to rinse anybody out with the price, but i will not sell it foolishly cheap. 300 controllers never pop up. there is an even rarer joystick controller like a catstick but never for sale seemingly. anyway hope that waffle helps a bit. pics can be sent if i get any offers that are realistic. but for now it looks like all the other ones on the net/flickr etc. take care everyone
