MIDI Jet Pro Wireless MIDI System - PRICE REDUCED!!!

Here is a used original model Midi Jet Pro by Classic MIDI Works. This is the best wireless MIDI system on the market- the same model that was used by the great Michael Brecker with his Steiner MIDI RAD EWI. This system is in excellent shape and has been fully checked out here at Patchman Music by wind controller expert Matt Traum. It works as perfectly as the day it was made. This is the system Matt Traum uses with his wind controller gig rig. This is the original model (not the later USB model).

The MidiJet Pro can be used with any device that has a standard 5 pin MIDI OUT jack on it including the Yamaha WX5, Akai EWI5000 and EWI4000s, NuEVI, NuRAD, Roland AE-30, and Casio DH series wind controllers directly. It can also be used with the Yamaha WX7 and WX11 if you have a Yamaha BT7 battery pack to power the WX7/WX11 (often available on this used gear page).

It is an amazing feeling to have no wires attached to your wind controller! It can also be used with any other battery powered MIDI device with a standard 5 pin MIDI Out jack. If you are using a MIDI cable for something, then this wireless MIDI system will work to replace it. The Midi Jet Pro simply replaces a MIDI cable. Click here to download the manual in PDF format.

No wirless system is perfect as it is impossible to predict every environment that such a system will be used. But we have found this to be THE BEST wireless MIDI system on the market and the pros know this. These systems have been used by Michael Brecker, Judd Miller, Nyle Steiner, Matt Traum, Doug Norwine, and numerous top professionals that must have only the most reliable wireless MIDI operation. Each unit can be run from two AA batteries (not included) or an AC wall power adapter. We are including one AC wall power adapter with this sale to use with the receiver.

This Midi Jet Pro is in EXCELLENT CONDITION. Included with this sale is one black MIDI Jet Pro transmitter with belt hook, one white MIDI Jet Pro receiver, an AC power adaptor for the receiver, and a printout of the user manual, a 1 foot MIDI cable for the transmitter, and we will even throw in a small carry case for the system! These top of the line wireless MIDI systems are very hard to find. Only one of these systems is available so don't delay- this MidiJet Pro system will not be here long!

VERY COOL ! Yamaha TG500 MIDI Sound Module w/Original Printed Owner's Manual - JUST ADDED!!

A great vintage Yamaha MIDI Sound Module! This Yamaha TG500 is in very nice condition and it includes the original printed Owner's Manual!

The Yamaha TG500 is, more or less, the rack version of the Yamaha SY85. When this TG500 module came out, it was the first to offer a 64-voice polyphony. In 1993, this was a huge deal, because back then 8-16 voices were still acceptable, and 24-32 would have been considered very good. The Yamaha TG500 features the improved AWM2, Yamaha's 2nd-generation Advanced Wave Memory technology. There's plenty of memory: 8MB of waveform ROM, and even an Expandable Waveform RAM: up to 1MB of waveform RAM (not included) can be installed to allow loading of external samples via waveform cards or the MIDI Sample Dump protocol. Voices can be played individually, or up to four voices can be combined and "layered" to form performance combinations. The TG500 has 384 presets including 252 voices, 4 multi-instrument drum voices, and 128 performance combinations. 192 internal RAM locations additionally store 126 voices, 2 drum voices, and 64 performance combinations. The TG500 also provides RAM memory for 16 multi-play setups. Programmable digital filters allow the TG500 sound to be tailored as required. The filters also feature a resonance parameter equivalent to that found on the SY77 and SY99 Music Synthesizers. The basic quality of the TG500 voices is further enhanced by a range of programmable effects offering quality rivaling some of the finest separate signal processing systems.

Yamaha TG-500 Features:

• AWM2 Sound, 64-note Polyphony 2nd-generation Advanced Wave Memory (AWM2) technology delivers dazzling, true-to-life sound with 64-note polyphony.
• Large-capacity Waveform ROM. A huge 8-megabyte waveform ROM provides the kind of capacity required for stunning, true-to-life sound.
• Expandable Waveform RAM. Up to 1-megabyte of waveform RAM can be installed to allow loading of external samples via waveform cards or the MIDI Sample Dump protocol.
• 4-layer Performance Combinations. Voices can be played individually, or up to four voices can be combined and "layered" to form performance combinations.
• 384 Presets and 192 User RAM Locations. The TG-500 has 384 presets including 252 voices, 4 multi-instrument drum voices, and 128 performance combinations. 192 internal RAM locations additionally store 126 voices, 2 drum voices, and 64 performance combinations. The TG500 also provides RAM memory for 16 multi-play setups.
• Advanced Digital Filters. Programmable digital filters allow the TG500 sound to be tailored as required. The filters also feature a resonance parameter equivalent to that found on the SY77 and SY99 Music Synthesizers.
• Top-quality Effects. The basic quality of the TG500 voices is further enhanced by a range of programmable effects offering quality rivaling some of the finest separate signal processing systems.
• Slots for dual external memory card sets (VOICE and WAVE).
• Easy-to-read 24 character x 2-line backlit LCD display.
• Recognizes individual key aftertouch.
• Stereo L/R and 4 individual audio outputs.

Here is a link to the online TG500 manuals so you can read all about the features of the very cool piece of vintage digital gear. Here is a link to a great TG500 website with tons of audio examples of the factory sounds.

This Yamaha TG500 MIDI sound module is in VERY GOOD CONDITION with only minor dings and scrathes from normal use. It was purchased by Patchman Music several years ago and we never got around to actually using it. Please contact Matt at Patchman Music if you have any questions about this vintage piece or what this device does. Included with this sale is the Yamaha TG500 MIDI sound module and the original printed manual. Also included are the two original rack mount ears (as shown in the photo).

Use the Filter Queen to 'filter sweep' across the instruments in a mix, or choose a particular instrument or frequency range in the mix to 'highlight and tweak' or 'search and distort.' The Filter Queen will put realtime control of your sound back into your hands.

• 2-Pole Stereo ANALOG FILTER. Can be switched to a mono 4-Pole analog filter via a switch on the rear of the unit.
• 4 filter types - High, Low, Band, Notch
• Lots of amazing front panel controls to select the mode of operation including filter control via the front panel knobs, a front panel momentary switch, or a 3 band frequency selective envelope follower, LFO (with 4 selectable waveshapes plus random) and depth and speed controls, a control pedal, and foot switch.
• 1/4" and RCA type stereo ins and outs
• Phono or line level input selection

EXTREMELY RARE! CRUMAR / STEINER MASTER'S TOUCH
Breath-controlled Steiner Filter & Analog CV Breath/Bite/Touch Sensor Interface with Analog Steiner Filter - PRICE REDUCED!!!

ATTENTION Modular Synth and CV Fans! Designed by the amazing Nyle Steiner (inventor of the EWI and EVI wind controllers), here is the EXTREMELY RARE and INCREDIBLY UNIQUE Steiner Master's Touch which is a breath-controlled Steiner analog filter and analog CV Breath, Bite, and Touch sensor interface. This is a very interesting, incredibly expressive and unique breath controlled device from the late 70s/early 80s designed to be used in conjunction with voltage controlled analog modular synthesizers although the breath controlled filter/resonance can be used with any mono audio source without voltage control. Since it has a built-in TRUE ANALOG breath controlled Steiner filter with resonance, you can use your breath to control the filter cutoff and apply it to and audio source that is plugged into its audio input. Using your breath to control the filter of any audio source is incredibly expressive. Please note that the Masters Touch is best used with a CV (control voltage) synth where you are capable of controlling the filter cutoff, pitch, and key trigger via CV. The Steiner Masters Touch generates no sound on its own. Instead, it is an "expression processor and controller" for other instruments and a breath controlled analog Steiner filter. There are two tubes connected to its single mouthpiece- one is open on the end and used for breath control. The other is closed and used for bite control. There is also a touch/pressure sensor pad on the unit itself for touch control. You wiggle your finger back and forth on the sensor for very expressive vibrato. When everything is connected properly to a proper synth, the expression you can get is simply amazing. You can make the synth practically sing by biting and blowing into the Masters Touch mouthpiece and moving your finger. The slide controls on the unit are for SED, Resonance, Filtered/Unfiltered Mix, Bite, and Touch Modulation. Three audio output jacks are "unfiltered", "mixed", "filtered". There are two trigger outputs (both polarities are provided). One mono audio signal input jack is provided. Three 1/4" voltage controlled (VC) outputs are provided for bite, breath, and touch modulation which can be routed to various control voltage (CV) devices. Here's an interesting site that talks about a group using this device (read down into the article a bit). If you are into modular synthesis, the expression you can get from using this will blow you away! Visit the Nyle Steiner homepage for more info on this device.

This Steiner / Crumar Masters Touch is in VERY GOOD WORKING CONDITION! The outer panel has areas of paint that has chipped or worn off and some rusty areas. This is all part of the character, right? Please note that the slider knobs are missing. but this is only cosmetic. The original knob posts are there so there is no problem making adjustments. This Steiner / Crumar Master's Touch has been professionally refurbished here in the Patchman Music wind controller shop (www.patchmanmusic.com) by wind controller / breath controller expert Matt Traum (a $495 value) and everything works perfectly as when it was made over 44 years ago! The audio filter works and sounds great, all the CV outs work great. The mouthpiece and two connecting tubes are brand new and custom made here! The power supply and other components were updated. This is definitely a rare vintage piece for analog synth collectors and modular synth users that is almost never seen for sale. Please contact Matt at Patchman Music if you have any questions about this vintage piece or what this device does. Included with this sale is the Steiner Masters Touch unit, the brand new breath tube and mouthpiece assembly, and a printed copy of the Owner's Manual. Here is your chance to get a very rare and unique device designed by the legendary synthmaster Nyle Steiner. Grab it now while it is still available!

EXTREMELY RARE!! Steiner / Crumar EVI Restored & Custom Modded by EVI Guru Matt Traum

Attention BRASS players! Here is a very rare Crumar EVI brass-style analog wind controller designed by the great Nyle Steiner, marketed in the early 1980's by the Italian company Crumar, and recently restored and refurbished, custom modded, calibrated, tweaked, and tested by wind controller Guru and EVI player Matt Traum at Patchman Music. Matt has added several mods to this EVI including the ribbon cable mod and a rebuilt breath sensor as well as circuit mods to tweak the response and controls to be even better than factory! There is over $750 worth of shop time, custom mods, and tweaks included in the price of this EVI! The result? This Crumar EVI plays like no other!

This vintage Crumar EVI is 45+ years old and comes from the personal collection of EVI player Matt Traum who still prefers and plays this model because of the wonderful silky-smooth fat analog sound it produces. This Crumar EVI is strictly analog- there are no MIDI capabilities on this unit. Since it is TRUE ANALOG, it has an incredibly smooth and responsive sound. You can actually hum while playing and the breath sensor is so fast that it will modulate the sound coming from the synth! The Crumar EVI has an incredibly expressive and beautiful sound. You can listen to numerous mp3 clips of Matt Traum playing the Crumar EVI here. The Crumar EVI has a 6+ octave range and even more range is available by changing the TUNE knob. This is a great, compact, real analog EVI. Just plug it in to an amp and you are playing. Additional information on the Crumar EVI is available here. This system has no internal effects so we recommend a nice digital effects box for added punch and pizzazz. Email Matt at matt@patchmanmusic.com if you are interested in buying a digital effects unit to use with this EVI or if you have any questions regarding this item.

Optionally, we can add our custom CV Out mod to this instrument if desired. It adds 3 output jacks for sending analog Control Voltage (CV) signals from the breath sensor, pitch, and pitchbend. Email Matt at matt@patchmanmusic.com for more details and pricing to add this mod if desired.

This sale includes this gorgeous Crumar EVI completely refurbished, calibrated, modded, and tested by Matt Traum in its hard case, and a printout of the User Manual complete with fingering chart. The instrument is in VERY GOOD CONDITION and with Matt's expert set up, it works and plays like an absolute dream!! It has the usual dings and scuffs and paint chips that you would expect from a 45+ year old vintage piece of gear. Email Matt at matthewtraum@icloud.com for more details if needed. MIDI EVI players will also find this EVI very rewarding and satisfying to play since there is no latency nor stepping on this 100% ANALOG instrument. This beauty is quite rare so do not delay!! (Photo is of the actual unit for sale!)

VERY RARE! HOT-RODDED Akai EVI1000 & EWV2000 BRASS-STYLE Wind Controller System w/Patchman Music Soundbanks and Custom Hardware Mods by Wind Controller Guru Matt Traum - JUST ADDED!

This is the original and extremely hard to find BRASS STYLE Akai EVI wind controller system. This is a complete wind controller system featuring the BRASS STYLE wind controller and the super-smooth sounding REAL ANALOG EWV2000 companion sound module. All you need to add is a pair of headphones or an amp.

This system has been hot-rodded in the Patchman Music wind controller shop by wind controller guru Matt Traum so it plays extremely well! Customizations done by Matt include an upgraded proprietary solid state breath sensor designed by Matt Traum at Patchman Music which is much more responsive and reliable than the stock Akai sensor, upgraded electronics, rebuilt and tweaked bite sensor, a complete roller job (upgrade). In the EWV2000 module, we installed a brand new internal backup battery clip and backup battery, the latest version OS chip installed which includes variable tongued velocity, and both of the Patchman Music EWV2000 Volume 1 and Volume 2 soundbanks included - delivered to you via email (a $95 value). Of course complete calibration and testing by Matt Traum was done as well. This custom designed solid state breath sensor is much more reliable and responsive than the old Akai design. Just the above included modifications, upgrades, and custom shop work total over $700 making this a truly excellent value for any wind controller musician looking for an unique and original Akai EVI Brass style wind controller.

The EVI1000 controller is in EXCELLENT CONDITION. The mouthpiece is in great condition with no tears or cuts in it. The proprietary connecting cable is in superb condition. The three top finger pads and bend sensors on the EVI are in great shape. This system is still completely working and fully tested by Matt Traum and it plays GREAT especially with our custom mods that were added to this system!

The rack mountable EWV2000 analog synth module is in EXCELLENT CONDITION. There are some dings and scratches from normal use but nothing serious. It has the velocity upgrade chip installed (this is the latest version OS). The EWV2000 has excellent chord capabilities (unlike some of the later Akai wind controller modules) so it can trigger 4 note chords externally via MIDI- and each chord can have a different quality. This is a big advantage over simple parallel chords. Internally, the EWV2000 has 2 REAL ANALOG oscillators and 2 REAL ANALOG filters per patch! It also has the wonderful FORMANT FILTER designed by wind controller designer Nyle Steiner for added timbral variations which was missing in some later wind controller modules. The sound of this rig is super-smooth and expressive and it is capable of exceptionally fat analog leads and basses. Patchman Music offers TWO complete soundbanks for this unit and they are included with the sale of this unit delivered to you via email (a $95 value). Info and two MP3 audio demos of the Patchman Music EWV2000 Soundbanks is here. All of its 64 patches are 100% user-editable. Click here to watch a video of EVI virtuoso Mike Metheny playing this model brass wind controller. The EWV2000 analog sound module has jacks for Line Out, External In, Headphone Out, Program Up/Down footswitch, MIDI Out, Tape IN/OUT for saving and loading patches. The External In jack allows you to control ANY synth or sampler with the EWV2000 REAL ANALOG filters and VCAs. This provides SUPER-FAST RESPONSE since the modulation is via direct control voltage not MIDI! This unit responds so fast you can actually hum or growl into the mouthpiece to modulate the sound!

This sale includes the EVI1000 BRASS-style wind controller with over $700 worth of included custom mods and upgrades, the EWV2000 analog sound module with rack ears, the EVI connecting cable (in excellent condition), the Patchman Music EWV2000 Volume 1 and 2 soundbanks delivered to you via email (a $95 value), the printed info sheets for the two Patchman Music EWV2000 soundbanks, the ORIGINAL printed EWV2000 User Manual and fingering chart, and a printed copy of the EVI1000 manual revised by Matt Traum of Patchman Music, as well as a few other additional original printed materials that originally shipped with these systems from the factory, and a BRAND NEW Boss RMIDI-B20 Low Capacitance 20 foot Black Series MIDI Cable (a $20 value included). Everything has been checked out and it all works great. This system has no internal effects so we recommend a digital effects box for added punch and pizzazz. Email Matt at matthewtraum@icloud.com for some suggestions.

A gorgeous brand new upgraded White on Blue LCD Display has been installed, and the floppy drive has a BRAND NEW belt installed right here in our Patchman Music repair shop (a $700+ mod/repair value included). This LCD is far clearer and brighter than the old original faded displays. Please note, due to the LCD mod, any adjustment to the display contrast would need to be done with a small screwdriver through a hole in the front panel.

Take advantage of this rare opportunity to grab the finest, most sought-after wind controller module on the planet!

Roland P-330 Digital Piano Module - PRICE REDUCED!!!

Here is an excellent condition Roland P-330 Digital Piano rack mount MIDI sound module. This module is very unique in how it produces sound. It is NOT sample based! Instead it uses a special proprietary advanced synthesis method developed by Roland called "S/A (Structured Adaptive)" technology that dynamically responds to all velocty levels in a unique way. It is NOT just a filter opening and closing or velocity switching of a few samples. The Roland P-330 uses the same S/A technology as the famous RD-1000 & MKS-20. This unit and the larger Roland RD-1000 and MKS-20 units were extremely popular becuase they had a sound that was much more "alive" compared to simple sample playback methods.

This digital piano 19" rackmount module is essentially a Roland MKS-20 in a more compact, single rack space and is very similar in sound. The unique sounds of these digital pianos can be heard on countless '80s and '90s hit records. The P-330 contains 8 basic tones- 3 Acoustic Pianos, a Harpsichord, a great Clavinet, a great Vibraphone, and 2 Electric Pianos. Analog effects on board are Chorus, Tremolo and EQ, which can be programmed and stored as part of each sound program. It has 64 patch program memories to store custom tone and effects settings.

This Roland P-330 module is in EXCELLENT condition with only a minimal amount of small nicks from rack mounting. This sale includes the Roland P-330 rack mount Digital Piano sound module, the original Owner's Manual, the original power cord, and even the original box! This unit has never left the studio!

HOT RODDED!! Fully Refurbished by Matt Traum - Yamaha WX7 MIDI Wind Controller with Hard Case - PRICE REDUCED!!!

Here is a very unique and rare opportunity for anyone looking for fully working Yamaha WX7 completely refurbished, tweaked, and hot-rodded by wind controller guru Matt Traum! We have put this WX7 through our wind controller shop and checked it out completely. This WX7 has been refurbished, tested, and calibrated by wind controller expert Matt Traum in the Patchman Music wind controller lab (www.patchmanmusic.com) to work correctly right out of the box. Everything works great and it plays superbly! The bite response of the reed is superb on this instrument.

This WX7 has also been "hot-rodded" with some special internal circuit upgrades done here in the Patchman Music wind controller shop by wind controller guru Matt Traum. This included custom upgrade is a $250 shop value in itself!

If you have a VL70-m, WT11, or MFC10 then you simply need to use a Yamaha WX Extension Cable to connect to these devices (not included but we sell new and used ones. Email Matt at matthewtraum@icloud.com for details). Otherwise you will need the Yamaha BT7 (no longer in production but we may have one available for purchase) which converts the WX signal into a MIDI OUT and also powers the WX7. Please email Matt at matthewtraum@icloud.com if you have any questions about what might be required to use this wind controller. Many serious wind controller players maintain the WX7 is the finest wind controller Yamaha ever produced. The WX7 seems like it was built to last and withstand professional use. The main body is made of metal compared to plastic found on the other two WX models.

This WX7 horn is in EXCELLENT CONDITION and it plays GREAT! So grab it quickly if you want it. This sale includes the Yamaha WX7 MIDI wind controller (with $250 custom electronics upgrade included), the original mouthpiece cap, and the original Yamaha WX7 hardshell case. The foam inside the case has been modified slightly- no big deal as it does not affect the function of the case. The mouthpiece and reed are in very good condition with only slight signs of use on the reed. (We recommend you install a rubber mouthguard to extend the life of the mouthpiece.) We can provide a WX Extension Cable if needed for use with a VL70-m. Ask for details when ordering. Here is your chance to grab a hard to find BEAUTIFUL WX7 wind controller that's been checked out and calibrated by a wind controller professional here at Patchman Music so don't delay- it won't be here long.

Yamaha WX Extension Cable (Used) - For use with the WX7, WX11, or WX5

This is a special 16 foot cable that connects directly to the WX5, WX11, or WX7. The other end connects to a device that has a WX connector such as the Yamaha VL70-m, MFC10, or WT11. It is also possible to connect two or more of these cables together for additional length. It's always a good idea to have a spare WX Extension Cable! This cable is used but in EXCELLENT CONDITION. It has been tested here at Patchman Music (www.patchmanmusic.com) by wind controller guru Matt Traum and it is working perfectly. These cables are not easy to find so grab it while it's still here. We also sell NEW WX Extension Cables. Click here for details. (Photo is not of actual unit for sale.)

Yamaha WT11 FM Wind Controller Synth Module w/Patchman Music WT11 Soundbank - PRICE REDUCED!!!

Here is a Yamaha WT11 FM Wind Controller sound module. The Yamaha WT11 features 96 Preset patches, 32 User patch memories, 10 built-in digital effects, plus a WX IN jack for directly connecting a WX5, WX7, or WX11 wind controller (not included). This FM synth can also be controlled via MIDI from any wind controller or keyboard. It has built-in digital effects (reverb, delay, distortion, etc), 1/4" stereo outputs, 1/4" Footpedal INC and DEC jacks, headphone out, cassette port, MIDI IN/OUT/THRU. The footpedals (not included) would be used to step up and down through the patches. We sell these optional footpedals here for $19 each. Let us know if you would like to add them to the order.

The FM synthesis method employed in this Yamaha WT-11 FM sound module responds very well to breath. FM has always been known to be an excellent choice for wind synthesis due to the way it responds to breath. Since each FM Operator can respond to breath slightly differently, the response is much more interesting than simply opening and closing a filter or controlling volume. Be sure to visit the Patchman Music WT11 soundbank page to hear what this sounds like being controlled with breath.

This WT11 is in EXCELLENT CONDITION with only a small amount of dings and scuffs from normal use. This WT11 has been fully checked out in our Patchman Music wind controller shop by wind controller expert Matt Traum and it works and sounds great. Listen to this MP3 of the WT11 in action with the Patchman Music WT11 soundbank here. Click here for more info on the Patchman Music WT11 Volume 1 Soundbank.

Oberheim Matrix-6r Analog Synth Module - PRICE REDUCED!!!

Here it is! The amazing Oberheim Matrix-6r analog rack mount synth module. This is a highly sought after and valuable analog synth with digitally controlled analog oscillators and analog filters. This is the REAL THING that everyone tries to copy. It has 6 voice polyphony and can be configured for two part multi-timbral capability (two different patches can be split or layered and sent to the stereo outputs. Patchman Music offers an optional fantastic bank of 100 breath controller / wind controller sounds for the Matrix-6r which we can include for $60 extra. Click here to read about this amazingly expressive breath controlled soundbank. Michael Brecker and other wind controller players loved the Oberheim sound. Brecker used the Oberheim Xpander and Matrix-12 with his EWI rig and sounded incredible on them. The Matrix-6r is the baby brother to these synths.

This Oberheim Matrix-6r has been completely gone over in our shop and tested. It worked perfectly and sounds amazing. Real Analog! It has the latest official firmware installed (version 2.13), and has had a battery clip and backup battery installed for the memory backup battery here at Patchman Music. This makes future changing of this battery much easier and user-servicable! (This work is a $300 value included!).

Matrix-6r Specifications:

6 Voice Polyphony
12 DCOs (2 per voice)
Layers: Single / Split / 2-part Multi-timbral
Memory: 100 patches, 50 splits
Filter: 1 Lowpass Resonant Filter per voice
2 VCA plus 3 Multimode Envelopes
2 LFOs (Plus 1 for Vibrato)
2 Ramp Generators
Connections: MIDI IN, OUT, THRU, Audio Left and Right Audio Outs (1/4"), Pedal 1, Pedal 2, Cassette Data Backup In and Outs (1/4"), Front Panel Remote and Headphone Jacks.
Date Produced: 1986 to 1988

The Matrix-6r was one of the last synthesizers from Oberheim to come out during the mid-1980s following the classic OB-series. The Matrix-6r utilized high-tech but less expensive digital and MIDI features and still retained a totally analog sound. It did this by using DCOs (digitally controlled analog oscillators) to provide stability and programmability. All the Matrix synthesizers featured Matrix Modulation which allows for extremely wild virtual patching for almost unlimited range of sounds and modulation capabilities!

The Matrix-6r is still a very popular synthesizer because it offers access to the legendary sounds and power of the Matrix-12, though not as meaty, but at a fraction of the cost. The Matrix6r is also like the Oberheim Xpander but with only 6 voices of polyphony and slimmer programming. Each of its 6 voices has a pair of digitally controlled analog oscillators, a real analog low pass filter, 2 VCAs, 3 envelope generators, 2 LFOs, and 2 ramp generators for a variety of complex analog leads, pads, basses, and more. The Matrix-6r can be programmed from its front panel and there is a quick and convenient parameter guide printed right on the top of the unit.

This Oberheim Matrix-6r is in EXCELLENT CONDITION with only a small amount of dings and scuffs from normal use. There is a small scuff on the right side of the front panel but it is only cosmetic. This Oberheim Matrix-6r has been well cared for, used only in our studio, never gigged out, and it works and sounds great. It has been fully checked out here at Patchman Music by Matt Traum. Firmware version 2.13 and an internal backup battery clip and battery have been installed. This sale includes the Oberheim Matrix-6r analog synth module, the original printed Owner's Manual, and the AC power cable. The Owner's Manual is also available for free here. (Photo is of the actual unit for sale!) Additional photos are available upon request. Email Matt at matthewtraum@icloud.com if you have any questions.

$1,195 + $70 shipping/handling/insurance to US destinations only. Optionally, for $60 additional, we can pre-install the Patchman Music Matrix-6r Volume 1 wind controller / breath controller soundbank. Payment via check, cashier's check, or money order only.

Experience the Evolution of SILENT Brass

Pickup Mute and Personal Studio for Trumpet & Cornet (with Brass Resonance Modeling)

You want to play when and as you like, without being confined to time or place... Yamaha's next generation SILENT Brass makes it happen. The new SILENT Brass consists of a smaller, lighter, freer blowing Pickup Mute, and the Personal Studio, which features Yamaha's exclusive Brass Resonance Modeling. Used together, the two deliver the natural acoustic tone you hear when playing without a mute, making it feel as though you are playing mute free. The Pickup Mute combines a high-performance mute with an internal microphone to pickup sound. Significantly smaller and lighter than previous versions, the mute offers superior muting performance, delivers excellent intonation over a wide pitch range, and natural playability. A new compact design now lets you put your instrument in its case with the mute in the bell.

The SILENT Brass features this unique Yamaha technology which uses the modeling of non-muted brass instruments to correct your instrument's tone when the Pickup Mute is in place. The resulting sound is so realistic, it's hard to tell whether or not the instrument is muted.

External Device Input for Enjoyable, Effective Practice - By connecting to portable audio players or smart phones with audio playback capability, you can play along with your favorite tunes or practice with popular "minus-one" backing tracks. (Stereo mini-to-mini cable sold separately.)

A Very Nice Inexpensive FM Sound Module for the Casio DH-100/DH-200 & others! - Yamaha TX81Z FM Sound Module - PRICE REDUCED!!!

Here is a used Yamaha TX81Z FM sound module. The TX81Z uses 4 operator FM synthesis to generate its expressive sound. The TX81Z has several banks of built-in permanent sounds as well as a bank that is user changeable. This module is special because it has a built-in mapper feature which allows it to be used directly with just about any wind controller including the Casio DH-100 / DH-200 and other DH Series wind controllers. It can internally map incoming MIDI aftertouch data (such as sent by a Casio DH-100, DH-200 wind controller) into breath controller data. This means that if you also buy our optional TX81z Volume 3 wind controller soundbank and load it, the TX81z will work perfectly with a Casio DH Series Digital Sax without the need of an external mapper! Of course, if you turn this mapper feature off, it will then work perfectly with a Yamaha WX7, WX11, WX5, Akai EWI4000s, EWI5000, EWI1000, EWI3000, EWI3020, NuEVI/NuRAD, MIDI EVI, MDT, or any other wind controller that sends MIDI breath controller data (MIDI CC#2). The sounds in the Patchman Music TX81Z Volume 3 soundbank are very similar to the sounds we did for the WT11 except that there are no built-in effects in the TX81Z. We suggest adding an external effects box to add some depth to the sound. We may have some effects processors available for sale (Email Matt at matthewtraum@icloud.com if you would also like to buy an effects box). Details and audio demos of the Patchman Music TX81Z soundbanks are here so that you can hear what this module can sound like when played with a wind controller.

This Yamaha TX81z MIDI synth module is in GOOD CONDITION with a moderate amount of scratches, scuffs, and marks. There are scratches and bends on the rack ears from previous rack mounting, but this is just cosmetic. This TX81z has been updated to the latest release of the firmware which is v1.6. It has been checked out in the Patchman Music shop and it works great. The little plastic pull out card under the module is still present with this unit.

This sale includes the TX81Z MIDI sound module with power cord. The Owner's Manual is available in PDF format here for free download. When loaded with our TX81z Volume 3 wind controller soundbank, this MIDI synth module offers an inexpensive way to get more sounds from your wind controller. Grab it while it's still available!

The Yamaha BT7 also will allow WX7 and WX11 owners the ability to GO WIRELESS by adding a wireless MIDI system such as the Panda Audio midiBeam or the Midi Jet Pro USB wireless MIDI system!

It was recently professionally serviced, reconditioned, calibrated, cleaned, and tested by wind controller expert Matt Traum here at Patchman Music (www.patchmanmusic.com/dh100.html) with an upgrade to prevent squealing (a common problem with these horns if not upgraded)- a $140 value included with this horn!

The DH-100 is a very expressive MIDI controller. It transmits MIDI aftertouch data in response to your breath. It transmits variable velocity in response to how hard you attack a note. It transmits MIDI program changes 0 through 5 when you select the various tones with the tone button. It also transmits MIDI Portamento Switch (CC#65) data when you press the Portamento key. This is a great way to get into the amazing world of wind controllers. Feel free to email Matt if you have any questions regarding this wonderful inexpensive wind controller.

The unit is in good shape and has been cleaned, fully checked out by professional wind controller repair tech Matt Traum, and is in 100% working condition. Cosmetically, there may be dings, scuffs, markings, etc. from normal use but nothing interfering with functionality. This sale includes the Casio DH-100 Digital MIDI Horn with mouthpiece, Owner's Manual, and Fingering Chart. Additional Casio DH-100 accessories are available here.

Yamaha FB-01 FM MIDI Synth Module - PRICE REDUCED!!!

Here is a vintage Yamaha FB-01 MIDI FM Tone Generator. The Yamaha FB-01 FM tone generator is a 4 operator, 8 algorithm FM tone generator that can produce up to 8 notes simultaneously. The FB01 may be set to be 8 instruments, each playing monophonically, one instrument with 8 note polyphony, or any combination in between.

240 voice memories are provided in ROM (5 banks of 48 voices), and 96 more voice memories are provided in RAM for your own voices. The voice data is compatible with the Yamaha CX5M's SFG-05 sound synthesizer unit, and you can easily create your own sounds by using an external voice programming aid for the FB01.

The configuration of the entire FB-01 (all settings for each instrument, MIDI channels, voice channels, etc.) can be stored in Configuration Memory (there are 4 ROM presets and 16 RAM user memories).

The FB-01 features comprehensive MIDI implementation. It will receive system exclusive event list messages to recognize and produce microtonal intervals or non-standard temperament, as well as many system exclusive messages for loading or saving voice and configuration memories. The Yamaha FB-01 is perhaps not the greatest FM synth ever made, but nevertheless it is loved by many for its quirky style, small footprint, AC power (no wall wart!), vintage FM sounds, and of course its multi-timbral capabilities!

This Yamaha FB-01 for sale has been updated and professionally modded with an internal battery clip and a fresh memory backup battery installed here at Patchman Music (a $135 value included!). This makes future changing of this battery much easier and user-servicable! We have also updated / upgraded some of the internal electronic components.

RARE!! Yamaha MFC2 Wind Controller MIDI Footpedal - Awesome Wind Controller MIDI Pedal!!

Here is your chance to grab one of these very rare and unique wind controller footpedal MIDI processors refurbished by Matt Traum at Patchman Music! The Yamaha MFC2 is a unique and special foot controller specifically designed for wind controller players. Yes, there are other MIDI Footpedals on the market, but this is the only one ever made with the unique wind controller sustain mode! This allows you to SUSTAIN A BREATH CONTROLLED NOTE!! Note that is more complicated than a simple sustain pedal since the breath level has to be sustained as well and this feature is unique to the MFC2. No other footpedal can do this. Patchman Music has also professionally installed an internal backup battery clip and a fresh back up battery! (a $125+ shop mod INCLUDED!) The MFC2 can also send any of 30 different Programs Changes per Preset group- and there are 8 Preset groups. In addition, each program number has 6 different parameters which can be programmed to add new functions to the wind controller- including a transposition value (+/-24 half steps!) for each program number. It is possible to control two different MIDI channels - and thus two different voices (if your sound module does this) - simultaneously but in slightly different ways. A key hold footswitch can be used, for example, to sustain a breath controlled note on one channel, while breath and lip data from the wind controller have varying effects on each channel. The MFC2 allows a wind controller player to play a note on one MIDI channel (and this note might be a layered/chorded patch), then jam over that sustained note on a second MIDI channel (if your synth is polyphonic). Click here to download a 1.4 meg mp3 audio clip of this pedal in action connected to a Roland XV-5050 with the Patchman Music XV wind controller soundbank installed. Feel free to email Matt at Patchman Music if you have any questions on this item. The connectors on the back are MIDI IN (not the mini-DIN connector for the WXs), MIDI OUT, 9-12V DC In (for a standard power supply which is included), and two footswitch connectors for the aforementioned Bank Select and Key Hold features. You will need to add your own standard footswitches to access the Bank Select and Key Hold features. They are NOT included but we may have used ones available. We sell new ones here. The 6 program select footswitches are built into the unit. PLEASE NOTE: The MFC2 does not have a WX input jack so WX7 / WX11 users will need to use the BT7 power pack's MIDI OUT with the MFC-2 MIDI IN. This is a very unique and rare item designed specifically for wind controller players!

This Yamaha MFC2 unit is in GOOD CONDITION with a moderate amount of dings and scuffs from normal use. It has been checked out in the Patchman Music shop (www.patchmanmusic.com) and it works great. This sale includes the Yamaha MFC2, the DC power supply, and a printed copy of the Owner's Manual. The MFC2 Owner's Manual can also be downloaded here. Patchman Music has professionally modded this unit by installing an internal backup battery clip and a fresh backup battery (a $125+ shop mod INCLUDED!). Wind controller players, grab this rare opportunity now while it is still available! (Photo is not of actual unit for sale.)

Yamaha MFC1 MIDI Footpedal - PRICE REDUCED!!!

The Yamaha MFC1 is a nice and simple, yet versatile, MIDI foot pedal. It allows you to send MIDI Program Change messages in any order. You can pre-arrange your favorites program change numbers and other MIDI data into a Chain which can then be stepped through in order using your feet. This leaves your hands free to play your instrument. Any program change number from 0 to 127 can be assigned to a place in the Chain or a value for an optional Footswitch and Footpedal plugged into the rear of the Yamaha MFC1. MIDI Start, Stop, and Continue can also be assigned. The MFC1 does NOT support MIDI Bank Select messages so you can access patches only within a single bank on your synth. A Chain can consist of up to 20 steps and there are 4 Chains in the MFC1. To get the most out of this pedal, you will want to add your own standard footswitch (such as the Yamaha FC4 or FC5) and continuous footpedal (such as the Yamaha FC7). These optional pedals both are available here from Patchman Music. The optional FC7 will allow you to send a MIDI Continuous Controller signal from the pedal (i.e., VL70-m TURBO users can set it up to add Growl or automatic vibrato to many of the TURBO VL instruments!). You can also freely access 8 of your favorite patch numbers with the built-in pedals on the MFC1. You can download the MFC1 PDF manual here. The connectors on the back are MIDI IN, MIDI OUT, 9-12V DC In (for a standard power supply which is included), and two 1/4" connectors for the aforementioned footswitch and footpedal. PLEASE NOTE: The MFC1 does not have a WX input jack, it is strictly MIDI.

This Yamaha MFC-1 is in VERY GOOD CONDITION with a moderate amount of dings from normal use. It has been checked out here in the Patchman Music lab (www.patchmanmusic.com) by wind controller expert Matt Traum and it works great. Patchman Music has professionally modded this unit by installing an internal backup battery clip and a fresh backup battery (a $125+ shop mod INCLUDED!). Feel free to Email Matt at matthewtraum@icloud.com if you have any questions on this item. This sale includes the Yamaha MFC1, power supply, and a printed copy of the Owner's Manual.

VERY RARE! Version 2 Upgrade for the Yamaha VL1, VL1-m, VL7 - PRICE REDUCED!!!

THE ORIGINAL UPGRADE IS LONGER AVAILABLE FROM YAMAHA!! This is the very hard to find Version 2 OS Upgrade set of chips for the Yamaha VL1/VL1-m/VL7 physical modeling synth. Features of the Version 2 upgrade include the following: Improved Voices most notably in the trumpet, ethnic guitar, tenor sax, and recorder voices. This involves improved voicing and new elements, not just parameter tweaks. The new Excitation model (decay from pulse excitation) can be used in editing, and the new ethnic guitar voices, for example, use it. The new Modulation Effects in Version 2 are Chorus, Phaser, Symphonic, Celeste, Distortion + Flanger, and Distortion + Wah. As with the Reverb effects, all of these effects are well done. With the Phaser you can, for example, set the Feedback Gain and Wet/Dry Balance down from their wild levels to something in the range of 35% each to get an interesting evolving timbre change during held notes. New parameters and extended or finer-grained parameter settings are available in Version 2 on almost all editing screens. Version 2 brings a bunch of new breath noise types that are easy to select to get just the right breath noise for your favorite voice. Note that these breath noises are not just attack chiff, but are modeled according to the actual sound of a real musical instrument, so they may show up during sustain or decay, they may vary with breath pressure, may combine with pitch components (e.g. sax, flute, clarinet), and so on. The Mixing screen (the heart of the resonant model) has two new types of tap settings. 30 new microtunings have been added, including Scottish highland bagpipe tuning, various Arabic tunings, Phrygian, Thai, African, etc. This kit contains all you need to upgrade your Yamaha VL1/VL1-m/VL7 to Version 2. This upgrade will NOT work with any other keyboard or module. This sale is final and sold as is. There are no returns on this item. PLEASE NOTE: Installing this upgrade requires opening up your VL1/VL1-m/VL7. It is a simple chip swap (no soldering is involved) but it is recommended that the upgrade be done by a qualified professional. We offer no support for the installation so proceed at your own risk. Patchman Music will not be held responsible if you damage your VL1/VL1-m/VL7.

This sale includes the two VL1/VL1-m/VL7 Version 2 EPROM chip set, a copy of the new Version 2 Voices emailed to you, printed installation instructions, and links to the VL1/VL1-m/VL7 Version 2 Supplement manual and Version 2 Voice Lists & MIDI Data manual in PDF format. Each model requires a specific chipset, so you must specify which model you have (VL1, VL1-m, or VL7) when ordering.

--->> Sorry, we are currently out of the VL7 and VL1-m chip sets. We have only a chip set for the VL1 keyboard available at this time.

"I recently purchased a nearly new WX7 and a WT11 in very good condition. Patchman loaded his patches in the WT11 and I was off. I played my first gig this past Sunday. I am sure many of you know Patchman far better than I, actually I never met him but found him through his web site and corresponded by telephone and e-mail. This guy is the best and I would recommend him to anyone seeking an honest and knowledgeable individual to deal with. Alright, enough with the compliments already!"

"Hey Matt! Thanks for the EWI3030m... I got it on Thursday and haven't put it down since :-) ! It's really a dream come true for me to have this instrument in my arsenal, and I had a hard time believing that it was even used before I unwrapped it! The Patchman sounds are great (200% better than I remember the stock sounds being), and I'm planning on getting some more sound modules to add into the rack (most likely via your USED GEAR page) when I can afford it. Just wanted to say 'thanks' again, and I'll keep you posted! Peace."

"Hi Matt, I received the EWI system last week and all is well. It really is nice to deal with you as I can count on a painless transaction and know I'll get what I'm expecting to get. My mind is in overdrive concocting a series of applications for all of this newness. Thanks again for a great deal and look forward to dealing with you again in the future. Regards."

"Matt, It's 12:18AM as I type this- had to come up for air... been on the used WX5 for 7 hours straight now! Everything arrived, as described, & played straight out of the box as promised. My 7 year old daughter and 82 year old grandfather love it almost as much as me :-) Thank you so much for being a professional. You have plenty of referrals on your website already- if you want another one, let me know. Will stay in touch. Thanks again."

"Hey Matt, Thanks so much for your prompt service. You're spoiling me! I appreciate all the little extra things you do, like installation and selling used but quality equipment. Boy, I would love to see what all you have in that back room of yours! Everything I was looking for: 'Oh, I have one of those....' Anyway, it is always a pleasure dealing with you. Best to you and yours."

"Thank you for responding so quickly to my questions, Matt. Your customer service is, quite simply, extraordinary!!!! I appreciate doing business with the best in the business!!!!!"

"I'm really happy that I stumbled upon your site while doing an Internet search for the BT7 (which your knowledge, unlike that of Yamaha techs, showed that I don't need.) Thanks for all your help."

"All arrived safe and sound last evening - the Yamaha WX5 and Alesis S4+. My son had a lot of fun comparing the old school system to the "new" one. There are enough choices that he's reading the manuals as well. Thanks for your help and advice!"

"Matt, I just wanted to tell you how pleased I am with this instrument, which arrived today. It's every bit as nice as you said, maybe even better. It looks as if it has never been played, and everything seems to work perfectly. Thanks for your usual prompt and efficient service."

"Hi Matt. The package arrived on Saturday and I did a quick checkout Sunday evening. Sounds good. In fact, it's immaculate - pristine condition, beautifully packed - like opening a Christmas present. You're the best! Thanks!"

"Matt: The WX7 arrived today and the world is good! Within minutes I was playing some of your XP-60 patches. I am very excited about learning this new instrument."

"Matt, Thanks for the quick turn-around on my order! The item was delivered today. Works great for my application with the Yamaha CP-70M. Hope to do business again with you in the future. Regards."

"The WX5 and Alesis sound module came from Matt and were excellently shipped. I've been fooling around for the past couple hours. The patches for the Alesis S4 are incredible, I especially like the 'mix' function to layer patches for super fat sound. Thanks again to Matt, he was amiable and professional. Not to mention patient..."

"I am very happy to report that the Alesis Nanosynth I ordered from you arrived yesterday at about 11:00 am! The unit is in good condition and seems to function perfectly! Thanks so much for your prompt attention. Thanks again for the prompt service. It has been a pleasure doing business with you!"

"Matt, just to let you know that I finally got my WT11 and it's wonderful. It looks and plays like new. Thanks for providing such a professional service. Next time round it'll have to be a fully loaded VL70, let's wait and see what the dollar/euro situation is! Thanks again."

"Matt, I received the unit yesterday, it's in great condition. I appreciate the excellent packing job and fast shipping."

"Matt, the WX11 arrived Friday and it plays like a new one. Thanks for the product and fast shipping..."

"Matt, Hi. The unit arrived. It looks gorgeous and sounds great. I look forward to doing more business with you in the future."

"I received the unit today. It appears to have arrived safe and sound largely due I think to the meticulous packing job that you did, Thank You! Thanks for taking care of this for me... Take Care.""

"Thanks Matt... You are a trustworthy business man and a pleasure to depend on for quality sales and service..."
