Synth for Sale

Synth for Sale

2009-04-03 by mike.estee

Well, this has been a long time coming. It's time for me to face the music and sell my MOTM rack :/ I can't even imagine how much time I logged putting this together, designing the enclosure, acquiring patch cables, soldering. So much soldering.

In the end, my ability to make music hardware far outstrips my ability to produce music with it, and I can no longer afford to hold onto it for sentimental reasons. Someone else with talent should be putting it to use.

I'd very much like to sell it in one piece, the system is almost completely assembled. Just a few modules left to go. However, If I can sell the enclosure first (and any number of modules with it), I would be up for selling the remaining modules individually. The case was made by a master woodworker friend, it's really really beautiful. Pictures don't do it justice. It cost well over 1k to have made, but I could let it go for less.

Please, only serious enquiries. Feel free to make me an offer, and show your math. If you're in the bay area, I can show it to you in person if you mail me off list.

There are a few unassembled modules not listed here. I think an A/B switcher, and another 440. The whole synth was spec'd out to function as a 3 voice.

Specs:
Top Row:
MOTM-300 Ultra VCO (3)
MOTM-420 VC Lag Processor
MOTM-830 Dual Mode Mixer
MOTM-320 VC LFO
MOTM-390 uLFO
MOTM-310 uVCO
MOTM-120 Sub-Octave Multiplexer

Second Row:
MOTM-440 Discrete OTA Lowpass Filter (2)
MOTM-420 Voltage Controlled Filter
MOTM-910 (2)
MOTM-410 Triple Resonant Filter
MOTM-101 Noise/S&H
MOTM-310 uVCO

Third Row:
MOTM-800 EG (3)
MOTM-190 uVCA (2)
ENCORE UEG
MOTM-890 uMix (2)
ENCORE Frequency Shifter
MOTM-650 4 Channel MIDI-CV Convertor
MOTM-950*

*Not enough to power whole system, needs to be replaced with bigger supply.

WOW Mike! What a beautiful synth and I'm sorry you have to sell it! :-(

I encourage interested parties to look at all of Mikes pictures, that
frame/rack is very awesome!!!

I have no money or room for this unfortunately but I'll keep my eye out if
you posts that you are parting it out.

Best of luck!

PS - you have a minor typo in your listing. I'm assuming you meant to put
MOTM-820, not MOTM-420, for the lag processor?
