PAiA Gnome

“This is a real treasure and a great learning tool for synthesizers. This multi-voice synthesizer from the mid-1970s was built from a kit and worked when it was retired, though I can’t promise it will now. It is solid-state, though, so why not? The schematics, procedure instructions, glossary, and setting/operating instructions are included so you can experiment away. Learn how the various electronics produce the sounds and learn how to control them. This is a nice, quality device.

The build instructions have been marked by the builder, so I won’t claim this is mint.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

PAiA 9700

“P9700S Series Analog Modular Synthesizer. This is a set of modules that form a complete system in a 19” rack case. Sold by PAiA as a DIY kit, this one is fully assembled (seemingly a long time ago). It’s listed as “for parts or not working”, but it actually does work. It is quite worn. The surface has some scratches, labels of controls are hard to read. Some of the cable connections feel loose. All of the modules can be calibrated, and they probably need calibration. Every connection and knob does at least work, but I’m not sure the performance is 100% accurate.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

PAiA 6710 Vocoder

” A PAIA 6710 VOCODER ASSEMBLED. A RARE DISCONTINUED ITEM. ANOTHER PAIA KIT I BUILT. EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT A VOCODER IS.
GREAT FOR PROCESSING VOCALS OR OTHER INSTRUMENTS. THIS WAS OVER $175 WHEN I BOUGHT THE KIT WITH THE FACEPLATE AN EXTRA $26. IT HAS NEVER BEEN RACK MOUNTED. I TESTED IT WITH A CD FOR PROGRAM INPUT, AND A OSCILLATOR FOR THE MODULATOR, AND WAS ABLE TO GET A MODULATED OUTPUT. SWEEPING THE OSCILLATOR IN THE AUDIO BAND GIVE A INTERESTING COMB FILTER /TIMBRE SHIFT TYPE EFFECT, WHILE RUNNING THE OSCILLATOR BELOW 100HZ, GIVES A GATED TREMOLO TYPE EFFECT IT. IT ALSO HAS A SWITCHABLE FUZZ EFFECT. A/C POWERED WITH A INCLUDED REGULATED DC SUPPLY. THE OWNER’S MANUAL IS ON THE PAIA DOWNLOADS PAGE.”

PAiA Theremax

“Here we have a PAIA ThereMax Theremin which I built approximately 20 years ago and used very little.

It is 100% solid state and includes a “wall wart” DC power supply.

It is built inside of the PAIA wooden lectern case.

Very good condition! (this unit with the wooden lectern case costs over $230 from PAIA and then you have to build up all of the electronics and finish the lectern case).

Works as it should!

Note: there is a little bit of dust on the front panel knobs which I will clean off before shipping.”

PAiA 2720 Project Machine

“Cool kit-built synth from the 1970’s. One of my college friends built this, and I used it on gigs in the 70’s and early 80’s. The original oscillator became unstable, so I replaced it with an updated one (which is why the plate color is slightly darker). You can hear the unique sounds this instrument can produce on YouTube.
Most of the modules are pictured.
I will include the 10 pin cords, 7 voltage control cords, and one main patch cord pictured, as well as all of the individual module manuals, a book on 2720 sound synthesis, and some patch charts (one is pictured).
It does get power, but I was unable to get more out of the output than a quiet buzz when I tested it. ” Click here to search for synths on eBay

Paia 5700P The Drum

“This listing is for one extremely rare Paia “The Drum” 5700P Analog Percussion Synthesizer. It is essentially a cab filled with 4 identical modules that can generate a sound that is suited to percussive analog tones. It can be triggered via any sound source, including other drums, eurorack, a drum machine, etc. (voltage trigger OR audio into the 1/4″ jack). Each voice also has CV in that tracks across a few octaves so they can also be used as a stand-alone synth voice for basslines, melodies, etc. if so desired.
The sound can be described as very raw and weighty, similar to other early analog percussion units like the Simmons SDSV and 808. This unit works very well for it’s age, though some pots/switches could use some cleaning. Because of the age of this piece, it is sold as-is.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

PAiA Modular Synthesizer

” Travel back in time with this vintage synthesizer. I don’t know much about it. The keyboard unit is 37 keys. It is a kit unit. I cannot even figure out where the power switch is, let alone the amplifier output jack. I got it from an electronics engineer who never once used it, who got it from another electronics engineer who apparently assembled it in the 1970s.

Paia Electronics made kit synthesizers in the 1970s. I believe this is a completely homemade copy of a 1970s Paia synthesizer. The builder bought their own components and built and soldered their own circuit boards. I think it might be a Paia 2720 copy.

Unlike the Paia components in the various spec sheets and catalogs included, none of these components have the Paia stamp or Pais graphics, as shown in the literature. Among the literature included are: a 1974 Paia catalog; a 1975 Paia booklet without record; a 1975 Paia schematics symbology booklet; 17 old Paia component booklets with specs (a couple are doubles); a 1972 “Using the Paia 2720 Synthesizer” booklet; and some other spec sheets, including some on clear mylar.

It is truly untested. I plugged it in. I found one button that made a light turn on, but, other than that, I have no idea about it. It was in a clean and dry house for the last decade or so.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

PAiA Gnome

“Selling an original Paia Gnome analog synthesizer/sfx generator. This was built up by another person and when I received it, it made a variety of odd sounds. But always seemed like it needed some work. Since then the battery connections have become detached and I can make no claims about it’s functionality. But a good project for someone handy with a soldering iron and can read a schematic. The manual, parts lists and schematics are easily found online for this vintage synth. ” Click here to search for synths on eBay

Functionally, it partially works – seems to make the cello and violin sounds, not sure if the piano sound is working properly, the modulator seems to work, the sustain and mix knobs don’t seem to do anything. ”

See Photos. Sold as-is!

Comes with extra module and patch cables.”

PAiA Gnome Project Machine

“We tried testing this unit, but couldn’t get any sound out of it. Our hope is for someone with some electronics expertise to repair this synthesizer to its former glory.

It has been sitting in storage for quite some time, so it could definitely use a good cleaning.

Every button, knob, switch, etc. appears to physically function well, but since we can’t test it, this auction is parts and\or repair only (“AS-IS”). ”
