Korg ARP 2600 FS

The Korg reissue ARP 2600 FS is an incredibly faithful reproduction. A 1:1 remake of the original vintage unit, it's got the sound, look, and feel of the ones from the 1970's, but with new sliders you'll actually enjoy playing. Korg even upgraded the included keyboard with an arpeggiator and mini step sequencer. To be complete, they included the 4012 and 4072 filter types, so you can try both. With a real spring reverb, balanced XLR outputs, and plenty of patch cables, you'll be playing Edgar Winters Frankenstein in no time at all!

Moog Muse!

Wow: when you first hear the Moog Muse, you'll wonder if your ears are deceiving you... An 8 voice analog polysynth with WYSIWYG interface, 3 oscillators with drive and dirt and a 12-bit stereo digital delay on the outputs? It's like half of a Moog One, but more! Delicious in every regard. Try it for yourself or watch my dumb demo wandering around.

Moog Muse @ First Glance

Arturia Matrixbrute

The Matrixbrute is sneaky: with two classic analog filters and a panty-dropping mod matrix, it may just be the most complete analog monosynth ever made. With its WYSIWYG panel, everything is right there ready to play or tweak. Super inspiring sequencer will make you come up with riffs accidentally (on purpose) and you can truly modulate any knob you want with it. All of this runs through analog effects via a Bucket Brigade which yes, you can also modulate. If you can't make music with this, it's not your parents fault like everything else is!

Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave

If you remember the 80's and music spawned from that era, you remember the PPG and its direct descendant: the 3rd Wave. More than just "inspired by" this synth perfectly does what the PPG did: 8-bit digital waveforms through Rossum analog filter and circuitry. On top of that, each wavetable can scan through smoothly or stepped for a morphing wavetable which is freely programmable. With knob per function panel layout, it's an absolute joy to play and program.

...AND THATS NOT ALL!

It also holds the Prophet VS wavetables, allows you to import custom wavetables-- even from Serum-- and let you sample via its analog input. This is the most inspiring synth to come out in years. Rent it and find out why!

MuSonics Vanilla Synth

The new muSonics Vanilla synth is a remake of a modular Oberheim SEM voice in 5U form. Instead of engineering out the saturation, overdrive, and distortion, it was left in the filter, VCA's, and mixer section. It is loud and proud of its heritage, and absolutely jumps out of the speakers. Best of all, its self-contained, so if you always wanted to try 5U/Moog Unit system, here is your chance.

Watch me explore and then go a little nuts

PLAYdifferently MODEL1 Mixer

Technically not a synth, but.... This all-analog beast of a DJ mixer- co-designed by Richie Hawtin- has per channel hipass and lowpass filters, SCULPT EQ, 2 auxiliary sends, and DRIVE on each channel, all of which sound great and let you carve out each mix. It is very hands on and "playable", with luxurious build quality. Typically used as a DJ mixer, it can be used with line level signals like synths and drum machines. This is the best portable all-analog mixer available at any price, and the only one in Denver for rent!

It is the ultimate "live hardware set" mixer. Check it out in my sets around Denver.

Moog Minimoog Model D (Reissue)

Once you use this, you'll never make a bassline without it. This Model D is the genuine re-issue, a 1:1 re-do of the original from the 1970's (just like you!) Stable AF, rugged, with a dedicated LFO and with overload light! You'll love feeding back the external input into itself. The sound of a million records, so make it a million plus one!

Moog Grandmother

Moog Minimoog Model D (Reissue)

This is a monosynth, with 2 oscillators, a delicious/nasty filter, patch points, sequencer/arpeggiator, audio rate LFO, and a spring reverb that will make you cry/seem better than you actually are.

Dark edition, with custom wood sides.

Abstrakt Avalon Bassline

Moog Minimoog Model D (Reissue)

Abstrakt Avalon Bassline

This is everything a TB-303 wishes it was: built like a tank, with tons of pattern memory, MIDI, DIN, and CV/Gate in and out. Its guts deliver the true sound of a 303 as most fanatics agree. You cannot buy these any more, but you can rent one! The RANDOM button will make ACID for free.

Most importantly, Daft Punk 'Da Funk' comes pre-programmed for you!

WATCH ME

Try the Filter Cartridges!

Norand Mono MK2

Korg ARP Odyssey FS

Abstrakt Avalon Bassline

This 2-oscillator fun machine will inspire you to make patterns that you hadn't even thought were possible. You can change everything every single step of a sequence, and it will keep up. It's like a 101, 202, and a 303 were all smashed into a single box. It's a monster, and the ultimate live machine.

WATCH ME PROVE IT

The Mk2 is even better!

Korg ARP Odyssey FS

This is the white faced reissue version of one of the most powerful mono synths ever made. Korg updated it with all 3 filter variations of the originals, USB/MIDI, and drive circuitry. The sound is just how you remember, with all of the modern features. If you aren't man enough to play it by hand, get the SQ-1 with it

Cwejman S1 mkII

Korg ARP Odyssey FS

This is the best made patchable semi-modular analog synth ever produced. Handmade by a meticulous synth fanatic (RIP), it cured my gear-lust for an ARP 2600. It is small, stays in tune, and allows routing from the knobs and patch points. Use it standalone or with your Euro. Say it with me: shway-man!

Polivoks Pro Reissue

Trust me: an original Polivoks, while pretty to look at, doesn't want you to touch it, let alone play music with it. This re-issue is stable while still being filthy and nasty and is a 1:1 remake with the original creator Vladimir Kuzmin's blessing. It's the real thing. Plus, it's Soviet!

Check out my demo!

Sequential Prophet-10

This synth was Dave Smiths (RIP) original polysynth, so he made an all analog reissue. You can try both the classic SSM and Curtis filter types of the vintage units (Rev 1, 2, and 3), and then add velocity, aftertouch, and MIDI/USB via a gorgeous Fatar keybed. The P10 now allows stacking of sounds, and 10 voice polyphony.

Prophet-10 sound demo

Moog One 16 voice

Sequential Prophet-10

With 16 voices of polyphony and 3 oscillators with waveshaping, 2 filters, and Eventide effects, this is now the best analog polysynth ever made. If you can't make something good with this, you might as well admit that you suck.

Now with version 1.5 to allow user tuning, CV/gate I/O, and much much more.

Oberheim OB-X8

Sequential Prophet-10

Sequential Prophet VS

Of all the reissues that exist, this one has perhaps been the most anticipated: it's an OB-X, OB-Xa, OB-SX, and OB-8 all in one. With the wonderful Oberheim SEM filter inside, it will remind you why Prince and virtually everyone else used this on every hit you remember and love.

Take it for a spin!

Sequential Prophet VS

Elektron Digitone Keys

Sequential Prophet VS

The Prophet VS is unlike any other synth. Crisp 12 bit waveforms running through CEM filters yields sounds that analog waveforms cannot. Couple that with the best patch randomizer (ENTER+2) and you'll get lost for days.

Comes with Stereoping knob controller so you can actually edit your face off.

Yamaha DX7ii FD

Elektron Digitone Keys

One synth I've never liked is the DX7. I hated the sound, hated the membrane switches, and hated the early brownish color. I've probably bought and sold ten of these over the years, but never a DX7 ii FD. It has better capability-- like dual mode for huge stereo-- and greatly improved FM engine. It also has more banks, a bigger screen, and is 10lbs lighter. Of course, having real tactile switches helps make you want to try to program it, but that's impossible. So I added a Cartridge and an HxC drive in place of the floppy so that I could have access to all 20,000 DX7 patches at a push-able button away.

Elektron Digitone Keys

The Digitone is a great digital FM synth. Add a full size set of keys and more knobs and it becomes even MORE incredible when you can create stacks or sequences that you wouldnt have made with just the chicklet sized buttons before. Dare I say its the most accessible and programmable digital FM synth ever?

Prove me wrong!

Oberheim Two Voice Pro

Tom Oberheim said this was his favorite synth. You might say that too, because it's two SEM's strapped together with a 16-step sequencer, a velocity sensitive keyboard, and patch points for your modular system. Everything that comes out of it is rich and inspiring and sounds enormous. One of only about 250 in existence, and I've owned 4 of those!

Oberheim Xpander

Oberheim Two Voice Pro

Only rent this synth if you want to be Vince Clarke, Trent Reznor, Nitzer Ebb, Flood, and every band you ever listened to growing up. 6 voice poly, 5 LFO's, 5 envelope generators, 12 filters, and 100% menu diving. You know you wanna try modulating everything with everything!

Roland System-8

Oberheim Two Voice Pro

Rhodes Electronic Piano

Want a Juno-106, Jupiter-8, Jupiter-4, JX-3P, Juno-60, and SH-101? Want FM plus noise oscillators that you can run through any classic Roland filter? This is it! Roland didn't just make a ROMpler, this is mathematical component modelling of analog circuitry called ACB. With wood/metal sides and white LED's, even experts say the models like the Jupiter-8 are indistinguishable from the originals.

Don't believe me just watch!

Jupiter-8 vs System-8

Rhodes Electronic Piano

AKA Model 3363 this is a synthesized Rhodes with 4 total sounds including Piano, Vibes, Elec Piano, and Harpsichord-- two of which are actually usable. The Piano and Rhodes sounds are great for live work, and the real wood keys feel great and allow real expressive playing. Heavy, stylish, and worth it.

Rhodes 73 mk1

Rhodes Electronic Piano

Rhodes 73 mk1

TECHNICALLY NOT A SYNTH! But of all the Rhodes I've owned and played, this is the one that I love the best. This vintage has the pedestal bump keys so they are light and crisp feeling, and an absolute dream to play. It's minty clean and fresh, has been upgraded with the Retro Flyer preamp installed ((STEREO)), and is only 120lbs! Comes with the legs, crossbars, and sustain pedal. The Tolex is clean, and I got stands for the top so you can lay a synth on it, or one of the many adoring ladies once they hear you play this.

Roland SH-101

Dave Smith Pro-2

(with Tubbutec mod) I know, I know. There are a million plugins out there that mimic this, and the Behringer MS-1 is better built. But only the SH-101 holds the place as my first analog synth, as in 1990, when your parents were young. And be inspired by the worlds best step sequencer, clocking along to Sample & Hold.

Dave Smith Pro-2

What would happen if you took a 4 digital oscillator synth that can do paraphonic, routed through Prophet-6 and Oberheim SEM analog filters with 4 delays, analog distortion, and multiple step sequencers with multiple channels? I don't know, rent this and find out!

MFB Dominion I

Dave Smith Pro-2

672 HP Eurorack

Shockingly good German analog synth with 3 oscillators (paraphonic), 11 filters, Fatar keybed, sequencer and arpeggiator, because I heard you sold your turntables and bought an arpeggiator to make a Yaz record.

672 HP Eurorack

Only rent this if you have a Tinder date coming up and you want to impress. Not with music, but with a Eurorack that puts your dates' exes to shame. You can even get some patch cables to look like you know WTF is happening.

Isla S2400

672 HP Eurorack

Nord Modular

This new drum machine is a remake of the E-mu SP1200, but done with all the modern equivalents and features. It has aliasing, internal analog resampling and digital filters, and will remind you of growing up and how hard sampling and making beats used to be.

Nord Modular

672 HP Eurorack

Nord Modular

Little red keyboard that you patch with Windows and then assign to the physical knobs. Every time you patch something together, you'll make something worth keeping. You can make sounds your modular will not, because your modular isn't red!

Nord Grand

Access Virus TI2 Polar

The Nord Grand has the best action I've ever felt--- made by Kawai-- coupled with 5 of the best sampled pianos I've ever heard. It feels like the hammers are really hitting the strings. On top of that, you also get multiple Rhodes, Wurlitzers, electric pianos, and sourced Mellotron and Chamberlin samples. You can even load your own samples, like bossa nova loops, orchestra hits, or dog whistles.

Access Virus TI2 Polar

This is the most complete Virtual Analog synthesizer ever made. It does standard "analog subtractive" but also does wavetable, FM, and supports a complete effects section per channel. About 120 voices of polyphony. You could be happy with just this synth alone... And RANDOMIZER... Its so good, it sounds like all the plugins that emulate it!

A synth gift that keeps on giving!
