PHYSICAL CONDITION: Excellent – A few very minor abrasions and light wear can be seen around the wooden side panels of the synth and keyboard. The finish and face are in excellent condition with only some light discoloration or oxidation on some of the chrome knob caps and screws. Very well taken care of and preserved, a perfect opportunity for the synth collector to acquire an exceptional example in near museum quality physical and working condition.
INVENTORY #52911
BRAND: EMS
MODEL: VCS3 The Putney
FUNCTION: Synthesizer
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This listing is for an EMS VCS3 The Putney Analog Modular Synthesizer w/ Original DK 1 Keyboard. Important to note about this synth, it does not have master tune knob like many synths made after. There are three parameters the user needs to juggle to property tune this synth. The first is the frequency knob of the oscillators, 2nd is “Input Channel 1” knob and finally, the “Frequency” knob on the DK1 keyboard. Even with everything dialed in nicely, sometimes the higher or lower notes on the keyboard will be slightly out of tune. Adding or removing patch pins will raise or lower the voltages for all three of these parameters and will throw the synth out of tune. This is a historic synthesizer without the “quality of life” upgrades of analog synthesizers made after. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay
