Common synthesizer modules
Common module : bipolar power supply (+12 0 -12 volt, 1A) from MFOS the project Wall Wart Power Supply.
More information about the Wall Wart Power Supply you can find on the original website from Ray Wilson
(Music From Outer Space -- MFOS), or you can go to the information section on this
website : (Information - Common modules - Bipolar Power Supply).
In memory of Ray Wilson, genius, "Keep imagining, Keep inventing and Stay ingenius".

Formant Synthesizer
This is a restoration project.
We where searching on the web for a formant synthesizer and at last we found one on marktplaats.nl a buying
and selling web-site in the netherlands. Someone in Belgium had several formant modules put on sale.
So we bought these formant modules from him, they where in a large box with some other stuff and a 4 octave
keyboard. In the 70's he started building and never finished and 38 years later we bought it from him.
We bought 3 formant synthesizers, again from belgium via marktplaats.nl on Saturday, September 5th, 2015.
The first formant synthesizer can be seen in the Formant Synthesizer section Synthesizer 1.
HT Synthesizer
Helmuth Tünker a german TV engineer who developed among other a DIY modular synthesizer system.
He also wrote two books : 1973 the book Electronics and music.
1975 the book Electronic pianos and synthesizers.
The book Electronics and music describes in detail an electronic drumkit, sound organ, chimes and metronomes.
The book Electronic pianos and synthesizers describes in detail an electronic piano and modular synthesizer.
The project i want to do comes from the book Electronic pianos and synthesizers.
I like to built the modular synthesizer system he describes in his book mentioned above. I also have a name
for the synthesizer namely HTS Helmuth Tünker Synthesizer.
In memory of Helmuth Tünker and he was certainly far ahead of his time.
JEN Syntar GS-3000
This is a electric guitar synthesizer build in the 70's and 80's in Pescara/Italy (1978 vintage).
The JEN Syntar is a very powerful Moog-style mono-synth, having been modeled after the MiniMoog.
It is a simple but quite powerful mono-synth. Two VCOs capable of triangle, saw and pulse/square waves.
VCO2 is tuned relative to VCO1 for some fat detuning or those classic 5ths and 7ths.
Sound is fed though a lowpass VCF (24dB/Oct) before reaching the VCA. VCA and VCF have independent
envelopes of the atypical ADS variety (no release). There is also an LFO and Glide control.
Ensoniq ESQ-1
Ensoniq ESQ-1 is a 61-key, velocity sensitive, eight-note polyphonic and multitimbral synthesizer released
by Ensoniq in 1986. Although its voice generation is typically subtractive in much the same fashion as most
analog synthesizers that preceded it, its oscillators are neither voltage nor "digitally controlled", but
provided by a custom Ensoniq wavetable chip.The rest of the signal path is analog, including resonant low-pass
filters.
The synth also features a (crude by modern standards but) fully functional 8-track MIDI sequencer that can run
either its internal sounds, external MIDI equipment, or both, with a capacity of 2,400 notes (expandable via
cartridges). It provides quantization, step-editing, primitive forms of copy/paste editing, and can be
synchronized with external MIDI or tape-in clock.
ESQ-1 can store 40 presets internally, and features a cartridge slot for additional storage capability.
