Synth Pod G (System 700 and Fairlight CMI 30A)

The world's largest system 700, a Fairlight CMI 30A, EMS Synthi and other classics

This bone-rattling System 700 is nearly 5 metres long and consists of 129 modules. We have teamed it with a Haken Osmose keyboard so you can play it as a 4 voice poly with incredible expression. Or use it with one of the 3 System 700 sequencers. This pod also has 2 EMS VCS3s, a Fairlight CMI, Elka Synthex, Sequential T8 and Schmidt 8 voice. Yup.

How does a Synth Pod work?

Roland System 700

1976. 17 blocks, 129 modules, nearly 5m long and 1m high. We had to buy extra long patch cables. This thing makes the room shake.

Elka Synthex

1982. Eight voice poly with cross-mod, multimode filter, chorus and sequencer. In our view, one of the nicest sounding polys of all time. Powerful, yet warm.

EMS VCS3 I, II, DK.1 and 128 Sequencer

1970-1972. This is a rare combination of early units. Remarkable sound-creation mono synths.

Schmidt Eight Voice

2013. Eight voice poly. This truly is a no-compromise desert island synth, with 4 VCOs, 7 filters, 1028 presets and 256 multis. It has a mind-boggling modulation capabilities, all without a mod matrix.

Expressive E Osmose

2023. Revolutionary gesture-sensitive keyboard with MPE and advanced MIDI to CV cabability. Onboard synth engine with 12-24 voice polyphony. Takes expression to a new level.

Sequential Drumtraks

1984. 12 voice drum machine with 13 sampled sounds and onboard sequencer. Highly programmable and tunable.

Sequential T8

1983. Eight voice poly. One of the best keyboard actions ever made – 76 weighted keys with velocity and poly aftertouch. Sequential’s best synth. At launch it cost 3 times as much as a DX7.

Farilight CMI 30A

2011. 24 voice sampler. 30 year anniversary edition. It’s not vintage but it’s more reliable and you get to share Kate Bush’s experience of using the light pen on the monitor. Is there a cooler looking synth?
