For sale is the Ult Sound DS-4 – a great-sounding ultra-rare Japanese 4
channel analogue drum synth with unique cascade triggering option - accessed by pulling
individual channel sensitivity knobs.
An instrument that produces
both
analog drums and strange sounds. Nice high quality pots and sliders
build to last. It is possible to concatenate all the sections for make
sequences, great for experimental music.
Made by Toyo Gakki and was widely used by the Yellow
Magic Orchestra. This is the rarer of the two models that were originally designed. A black face model and this blue and yellow design. This particular unit was one previously used by Mr. Takahashi.
The
unit comes as a whole set with all original drum pads, power supply,
accessories and a hard case, as seen in the photos. It uses a 100V power
supply with 12V input voltage.
There
are currently no known issues with this unit, it is fully operational.
Cosmetically
the unit is in good condition, given it's age. One portion has rust as
seen in one of photos, besides that they are a few very minor scuffs.
Also it is worth mentioning, that slight crackle sound may occur when these vintage units are not used for a very long time but this
will soon clear with use.Feel free to ask any questions. Kindly note, dispatch time will vary as I travel often.p.s. Additional photos uploaded, 17/05/2016.
