!!! Read the information and BID WITH CONFIDENCE !!!

Up for sale here is an rare & vintage SYNSONICS DRUM drumcomputer. In very good condition! Comes with manual (copy) and original box. No batteries to save on shipping.

INFORMATION > The Synsonics is all analogue (largely bursts of white noise and coarse, sine wave toms!) They do have a quirky 'Kraftwerkian' and very 'electronic' quality that can be exploited to spice up a track.

The Synsonic also sported a 5-pin DIN socket on the side but this is not to be confused with MIDI (which hadn't been born when this thing came out). Instead, you could wire up your own footswitches (or whatever) to trigger the sounds externally. Considering that the Synsonic was essentially a toy, someone at Mattel obviously had loftier aspirations for the thing by including this (almost) professional connectivity. It could be powered from batteries or a mains adaptor. The Synsonic had a stereo output with a thumbwheel volume control on the side.

Of course, much like the Dubreq Stylophone, the Mattel Synsonic was a novelty product but, nevertheless, it was one that was that had obvious appeal and was actually used by quite a number of musicians, the most notable of which were probably Teutonic synthmeisters Kraftwerk. When you hear the sounds, you'll appreciate why. Even The Beasty Boys used it in their "Coocky Puss" track !!!

PAYMENT > must be received within 7 days after ending of this auction or item will be relisted and negative feedback will be posted + bad karma! (communication is the best thing to avoid misunderstandings or problems). I prefer PAYPAL but I also accept international banktransfer, money order, cash, ... . Cheques are welcome too but it takes time to get those cleared!!

SHIPPING > I ship worldwide but i love local pick-up ;-) Item will be shipped immediatly after your payment is cleared. I pack very carefully. The fact that this is vintage gear I can not give any guarantee and so it is sold "as-is". Shipping cost, insurance, taxes, ... come on top of the selling price and are to be paid by the buyer. No returns. I asure you that the item is described as best as possible and has no hidden defects or malfunctionings. I can not held responsible for damage during transport or if the package(-s) got lost. I'm a serious seller and I expect to deal with serious buyers.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I'm always happy to help !!! This item is for sale elsewhere so I reserve myself the right to end this auction earlier. I have lots of other vintage synthesizers, drumcomputers and interesting gadgets for sale.

Don't forget to have a look at my other auctions!
