FS: Paragon Systems

2012-07-08 by jesper

Hi list,

my rack is full. I think there are 88 units of rack gear and I started 
to look around what wasn't used as much as it deserves. My eyes fell on 
the Paragon Systems drum synthesiser and I decided to check if anyone's 
interested.

What it's not:
Simmons-sounding
FAT!
Used by famous producers
Midified

What it is:
Rare
Tweakable
Analogue
Great looking

Four independent and identical channels. Four trigger inputs and two 
outputs. One channel has a dead noise circuit, I haven't even opened it 
to check it out. Perfect for ride sounds. :)
Extremely rare. I've seen a "two-voice" once and this is some sort of 
official four-voice made up of two two-voices and a new front panel. If 
I recall correct my serials are 12 and 13.
Stanard 19" rack size, 4U high, but with an odd twist since it lacks 
holes! :-o

Picture of my unit:

I think this would be best in the home of a collector. Mail offlist with 
bids of 100 euros per channel or more. ;)

electronically yours, jesper
