WORKING CONDITION: Excellent. This Macbeth is a Minimoog with a lot of extra features. The 10-turn Oscillator pots allow for multi-octave oscillation and modulation into the rest of the circuit. All pots and switches are robust and work as they should. MIDI tracks flawlessly from a keyboard controller.

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Excellent. All pots, switches, and iO jacks are robust and perfectly operational. The chassis is also in excellent condition.

INVENTORY #58733

BRAND: Macbeth Studio Systems

MODEL: M3X

FUNCTION: Rackmount Desktop Analog Monosynth

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This listing is for a Macbeth Studio Systems M3X Rackmount Desktop Analog Monosynth. The Macbeth Studio Systems M3X is a rare, hand-built 3-oscillator analog monosynth released in 2001 by Scottish engineer Ken Macbeth. It is highly regarded as a high-quality alternative to the classic Moog Minimoog, offering a similar "raw and meaty" sonic character but with expanded modulation capabilities like oscillator sync and cross-modulation.

SPECS:

• Serial # 0006
• Can be switched between USA 120 VAC and EU 240 VAC on rear panel
• The M3X features a fully analog signal path with digital control for its utility functions.
• Oscillators: Three voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) providing sawtooth, triangle, pulse (multiple widths), and ramp waveforms.
• Filter: A 24dB-per-octave resonant transistor ladder filter, designed to emulate the Moog sound.
• Envelopes: Two ADS(D) envelope generators; one for the VCA and one for the filter.
• Modulation: Includes a digitally generated LFO with 9 waveforms, which frees up the third oscillator for audio use.
• I/O and MIDI: Features built-in Kenton MIDI-to-CV conversion, allowing for MIDI control of pitch, filter cutoff, and portamento. It also includes CV/Gate and S-Trig inputs/outputs.
• Form Factor: A 6U rackmount module that can also be used as a sloping tabletop unit.

ACCESSORIES INCLUDED: This item comes as seen in photos and includes a USA IEC 120VAC  power cable
