EML Electrocomp 100

“Rare as hens teeth, the EML Electrocomp 100 was EML’s second synth, only preceded by the 200, both of which were blue and only made for universities, the 100 preceded the 101 and supposedly less than100 were made in 1970 before they started selling to the general public. this one has a few mods on it, first osc 1 is hardwired to share the noise in the mixer section, so you can choose noise or osc1, there are switches to turn off each of the 4 oscillators, there is also a direct output added and a switch that turns off the VCA outputs, not sure why exactly this was done. The unit does seem to work completely as it should after giving it a good 30 minutes to warm up, however I do know the pots need to be cleaned, especially those in the envelope section as sometimes those pots specifically can cause certain functions not to work, usually if you spin the pot back and forth enough, they will come back but then definitely need a cleaning, he it’s 53 years old! The pots are sealed, so they can either be drilled and creaned or carefully taken apart and cleaned, I figure I will leave that up to the new owner, given the age of the synth it is sold AS-IS”

EML Electrocomp 101

“This Rare EML 101 is in very nice condition. These were often owned by educational institutions and were commonly played hard by students. This ElectroComp 101 was given to me by a cousin, a pianist who is not into electronic sounds. It was given to him probably 30+ years ago by a musician friend of his who moved to Europe and didn’t have room for it. It has been stored in his closet at his parents house for all these years, and the house just sold so he passed it on to me. There were only 1,000 of these made – but I don’t know what serial number this one is or if it was used in any jazz albums or whatever. This model is sometimes described as a poor-man’s Arp 2600. It has a very unique sound that some describe as harsh, metallic, alien, machine-like. I think this comes from the fact that it has no onboard dynamics and really responds well to reverb, delay and other sweeteners. The design uses a patch-in system of inputs/outputs using 1/4″ cables to put together some interesting sounds.

This unit appears to be only slightly used. The cabinet, keyboard, buckles, electronics and even the carrying handle all appear to be in very nice condition. There are a few minor scratches, and one corner of the cabinet is slightly broken as you can see in the pictures. My musician/engineer friend and I hooked this up and played with it for a while, and everything seems to work. The potentiometers, switches, cords, keys, anything we tried seemed to function properly. We patched it in in different ways and it definitely made some interesting sounds. Not being a synth person, this should be tried out by anyone serious in buying it before purchasing. I am not into electronic music, and would like to move it on to someone who can use and appreciate this unit.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

EML Electrocomp 500

“Here we have a one of a kind rarity that came from a synth museum. It has been serviced and verified by tech that this was in fact a prototype of a v2 of the Electrocomp 500 that was in the works when EML stopped manufacturing and selling synthesizers. There are 4 vco’s, 2 filters, 2 envelopes and 2 VCA’s I will be uploading some more photos as soon as I pick it up from my tech.

Being that this is a one of a kind piece I am not super eager to part with it. I may consider reasonable offers but this is definitely one for the collectors out there!

Tech has gone over everything and everything is in working order.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

” EML 101 semimodular analog synthesizer.

I’ve been playing for 40 years, but now I have cancer so I’m selling everything.

Up for auction is an EML 101 semi modular synthesizer in excellent physical shape. It works and all knobs are functional but it needs service. Most pots are sticky. I was going to send it to Bell Tone Synthworks near Philly because they make a convertor circuit to switch to 1.0V/oct standard. EML used somewhere between 1.2 and 1.4V and manufactured their own sequencers. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

EML Electrocomp 500

” This is one of the coolest pieces of gear my dad ( original owner ) had! This is a super rare Electrocomp EML-500, only 300 were ever made ( compared to the EML-1* series where 1000 were made ) and rumor has it there’s far less still in existence. I don’t know how to gauge “perfect working condition” in these old synths, but I do know it powers on and I saw it played within the past few years.

It could use a little cleanup but is overall in nice condition with one major flaw. One of the slider top pegs has broken off ( shown in photos ) The tops are a little plastic cap that goes over a plastic peg, and the peg snapped off some time ago. This could be a really easy repair for someone who is handy with epoxy, as the two pieces fit clean together and the small plastic peg could be removed from the cap and glued back to the other piece. Beyond that, some of the markings have started to wear, there’s a little rub of the steel finish in a spot or two, and the wood has some marks on the back ( also shown ). Remainder of wood is actually nice with only minor flaws. If refurbished, this would truly be a show piece.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

EML Electrocomp 200

“Vintage 1970’s ElectroComp EML-300 blue face controller unit.

The ElectroComp 300 from EML is a controller unit with a basic synthesizer, sequencer keyboard with numeric buttons and control knobs.

The 300 is divided in 3 sections. On the left is a switch patch panel. the mid section has a VCO with envelope generator, and the right side has 16 numerical buttons that trigger notes as an alternative to a keyboard.

The 300 needs to be used with one of the EML models such as the 200 or 400 models. It draws it’s power from the connected model. EML offered the unit as an alternative to using a keyboard with their modules.
Overall in good shape, it does have scratches on the wood casing, mostly on the back, sides and corners.

I did have them checked out, and had the necessary repairs\cleaning done to make them functional.

The unit was cleaned and tested. All the jacks, connections, and potenciometers were cleaned and checked.(Per the repair technician)” Click here to search for synths on eBay

EML Electrocomp 100

“Nice Vintage ElectroComp EmL-100 Analog Modular Synthesizer, in blue.

The EML ElectroComp 100 was the companies first product and was a great deal of an instrument to consider over other synth makers if not for it’s great features.

The 100’s 4 oscillators offered continuously variable waveforms and one of them could be used as an LFO. The unit is a semi modular system with a patch panel that could also use and process external sources with CV control of other synths or the 100 itself.

The instrument has 2 voices with a multimode filter, 2 envelope generators, and, a sample and hold section EML liked to call “The sampler”. It also offers white or pink noise and has a 44 note keyboard.
Overall in very good condition, the outside panels do have have scratches and does have a chip along one of the covers(nothing major).

I did have them checked out, and had the necessary repairs\cleaning done to make them functional.

The unit was cleaned and tested. All the jacks, connections, and potenciometers were cleaned and checked.(Per the repair technician)

“Now listing my EML 500 for sale after owning it for 40+ years. This synth is much more rare than Moog, ARP etc. synths of yesteryear. Very few of these exist. There was way less production than those other popular synths. It has been stored and covered inside my home studio room for decades, never been outside. I bought it used at a local music store in the 1970’s. It hasn’t been played much for over 20+ years, I just turn it on occasionally. That said, it does need some TLC and cleaning etc. to bring it up to snuff.”

EML Electrocomp 400/401

“EML Electrocomp 400/401 Synthesizer Sequencer. Condition is Used. I bought this around 1980. It was first purchased by Cumberland College, now University of the Cumberlands. The music department wanted a synth, and then decided that this is not what they are after. I then purchased it from a local music store that brokered the deal. The number 503 is etched into the back. Not sure if this is the SN since only 300 were reported to be made. It is missing two plastic tabs on the sliders. Was serviced around 15 years ago and then put away. All sliders and switches work. Both oscillators sound but need some adjustment. Osc 1 is louder than osc 2 and is tuned a bit low. Being pure analog a service tech should be able to rectify this. Sold as is. A great piece to restore and flip.

About the unit. 401 refers to the synth section and 400 is the sequencer. It is designed so that multiple 400 units can be chained together. The sequencer has two sections of 16 x 3 sliders that can run in series or parallel. The synth is a basic 2 osc 1 filter unit. Note that EML does not operate on the standard 1 volt per octave ratio used by most modular gear. It is something like 1.2 volts per octave. This can be adjusted through simple CV scaling enabled by various modules, or you can ignore the standard when using it to drive filter and other parameters that are not note specific.”

“This particular synth is in great shape and sounds wonderful. It has a unique character to it and the possibilities are truly endless for making melodic sounds or effects. If you’d like to hear some examples of the synth in action, feel free to shoot me a message. The synth has a few minor blemishes, the handle is starting to wear, and a few knobs may need a bit more of a twist, but it is still in otherwise fantastic shape. It’s my favorite piece of gear, and I am very sad to see it go, but I hope you enjoy it as much as I did”
