If you have ANY questions or want any more detailed pictures, please email me.Due to my personal finance situation I am being forced to sell the most expensive, best sounding synth in my collection. I bought it about 5 months ago, it was kept in my smokeless personal home studio, very lightly used, and in MINT+ condition! I am open to local pick up, and world wide shipping (this will cost you a bit, because it weights about 60 pounds and the main control panel is 30" wide, by 26" deep), it will be packed perfectly & professionally.It's a fantastic synth and features the following:3 Voltage Controlled Oscillators - they go Low Frequency too! Featuring Saw/Square (PW/PWM)/Triangular and Sine waveforms. Frequency control of the Oscillators is by Octave Switching (5 Octaves) a Course Frequency Control slider and by a Fine Frequency Control slider and by +-1V/Octave, ie positive or negative polarity so that you can 'play the keyboard backwards' should you want to. There is a four input CV mixer as well as a Voltage Controlled Pulse width input. Prepatched into the oscillators are the two LFO's, as is Oscillator 2 to Oscillators 1 and 3. Most of this synth is pre-patched in a very similar way to the 2600 synth. There is Oscillator Synch between Oscillators 1 and 2, Oscillator 3 features a 'Stability' potentiometer to cause drift inherant of older analogue synths, circa 1970, this control is very subtle, but fattens the sounds up greatly! 2 LFOs with separate Rate controls as well as a Master Rate control, the Dual VC LFO's also include Sample and Hold and Lag/Slew Processors. 2 Voltage Controlled Filters - The main filter is of the 24dB/Octave Self-Oscillating Transistor Ladder type and the second, 'Utility' Filter is a 12dB/Octave State Variable type that features Low pass, High Pass, Band Pass and Notch responses. The 24db/Octave Voltage Controlled Filter/Oscillator features a five input Audio Mixer and a five input CV mixer! Again many sources are pre-patched for both Audio and CV. As with the Oscillators, Filter Control can be both positive and negative in it's polarity! The Filter features Both Course and Fine tuning sliders as well as a logarythmic Resonance slider that brings the Filter to oscillating a pure Sine wave! There are 2 ADSR Envelope Generators for sweeping the Filters, Oscillators, Panning etc. The ADSR Envelope Generators features both positive and negative polarity envelopes. Yes, there is Voltage Controlled Panning on the Output Stage! And Spring Line Reverberation! The ADSR EGs feature 3 different timing ranges - Short, Normal and Long There is of course a precision Ring Modulator for creating alsorts of clangourous tones and timbres! There is a Noise Generator giving outputs of White, Pink and Low Frequency Noise. There is a lot of stuff going on here! lots of sliders, rotary controls and patch sockets! The beauty of the M5N design is that you do not need patch cords to operate, most of it is pre-patched! Should you wish to break out, well you can, any routings can be over-ridden, interfaced...transmogrified!The main control panel is 30" wide, by 26" deep- this panel is positioned at an approximately 80 degree angle for maximum playability. There is a 3" 'drop' at the front of the unit to allow for a keyboard to be positioned directly in front of the M5. Place a Bid!
