About This Listing

Dynacord ADD One Sampler & ADD Drive Unit

A chance to own a complete ADD One set which is rare. I have two of these units as it proved very difficult to obtain a complete set; here is your chance to bypass all of that.  One has just sold this one is another unit with VFD!  Do not miss out.

Designed by the team that made the Oberheim Xpander (& Matrix 12) so it has a very modular structure, lfos, envelope, modifiers etc - unique.... far more than a drum machine.  USA design teamed with West German engineering!

Calibrated (see photos of tests completed, satisfactorily), latest firmware installed, buttons tact switches (soldering req'd) replaced and VFD screen installed. New battery installed too. Interface cable is new also, i made one up with new connectors - the cable is not cheap.

Replacing the tact buttons is not easy either - before someone says this is listed for too much. Nor is placing a VFD screen, or cleaning out the disk drive, upgrading the firmware etc.

VFD is expensive, from Japan, no longer made and this is a new VFD last of a line.

Arrives with samples on disk and programs loaded into the memory - the programs are lost from most units on sale as internal battery has died.  

Very esoteric piece of kit, 8 channels of audio, 8x analog CEM 3389 Filters - quicksilver sound. 50khz sampling rate, de-emphasis and it has 4x 'smash' gain compressor on input too.  

Each voice has separate pitch, LFO, filter, env control and the separate pitch, very tape like (8x separate DACs/clocking), in particular opens up lots of possibilities

Used by JMJ and others - he refers to it as 'Dynacord Addi' on listings to CD.  Some of the drums on Zoolook are dynacord the ones that ripple and change in pitch:  

Very heavy items will be shipped in a large box double-walled box and will be insured. Pickup/collection is welcome or something can be arranged for the items to be taken to London.
