Synclavier Multichannel Distributor Bin Cards

Synclavier MT1     $100-$175 (these are still cheap but the supply of these has been severely reduced with recent orders)

Synclavier MT2     $125-$250-$300
There are many revisions and versions of each in stock, briefly: The oldest versions and the versions with the normal/lower level output are the lower prices at $125, the rare newer versions [which work differently] and the higher output versions are the higher prices at $250, and the newer version that is also the higher output version is $300.

Generally speaking, users making the mistake of monitoring everything they do in their life through a DAW like Pro Tools or Logic instead of using a real analog mixer that has actual +4 balanced line inputs [which almost nothing in the music store has had in 30+ years, "mic/line" is mic plus a massive resistor, adding both noise AND distortion] will do best with the standard lower output versions that everyone had the first three years in the mid 1980s, and the few, few users playing back very complex, busy sequences of many voices playing/routed simultaneously will also do well with those regardless of what they are routed to. Users routing into a real analog mixer, 24-track 2" analog tape machine, or even into an NED Direct-to-Disk system, and especially those just listening and playing the keyboard themselves where they are only playing a dozen or fewer notes at once will do best with the special higher output versions, it will be much more satisfying that way, but the higher output is a big step up and it also exists at the top so a lot of voices routed at once can get distorted, where the normal version is most likely incapable of clipping no matter how many voices are playing, it just doesn't sound as good playing solo piano, etc.. The higher level versions were developed in the late 1980s because almost everyone was going directly to analog 24-track which could take a very hot level that the standard MT2 cards didn't have, and the special higher level version improved the gain structure for that. But roll up 20 years and users "mixing" through an RME Hammerfall or some other crap sound card would get massive clipping, real digital clips, with the high level card. So even 35+ years later, different cards are best for different users.

Synclavier MT3     $150

Synclavier polyphonic sampling memory

(RAM is rarely being sold as spare parts here, what RAM in stock is usually being used in new system builds and Synhouse repairs. Some can be sold, but not too much.)

Synclavier PSM1MB     $110

Synclavier PSM4MB     $440

Synclavier PSM16MB     $1,760

some of the smaller memory card prices are discounted in quantity

larger memory card prices and availability vary considerably from time to time

if purchasing for upgrade, most older systems are 100% compatible with smaller cards but have slot limitations without adding internal or external expansion memory bin(s) (e.g. the four poly RAM slots could originally only hold 4mb, later only 16mb, without adding the EMB, but with the EMB and more memory controller cards it could be up to 20 available slots to hold anything from 1mb to 32mb), higher capacity cards generally do not work without additional upgrades, which could be $950-$2,000 for the hardware required to update the level of the existing infrastructure by four years to be able to use the higher cards that didn't exist in any of the first four years, and this is easier and VASTLY cheaper if done here at the time of the initial system build

Synclavier Macintosh Cards

Synclavier MAC422 NuBus card     $300

PowerPC hardware kit (circa 1999, working like new, fully tested), includes D0-PCI Able CPU card and PCI-1 Macintosh PCI bus interface card installed in a Mac here (preferred) or shipped very well packed in proper anti-static packaging, short adapter cable (dual row 50-pin female to Centronics 50-pin female shown loose here for testing purposes only but should be mounted properly), and long Mac-to-Able cable     $2,200

PCI Card Repairs: Most (circa 1999-2000) PowerPC PCI-1 and PCI-2 PCI cards (the one that goes in the G4 or similar Macintosh) made have failed, but some of them can be repaired here. Not all. Some have to be replaced. These are HIGHLY static sensitive cards and are easily damaged. Most have self-destructed due to poor design/manufacturing.

Synclavier Power Supplies

Synhouse has a MASSIVE stock of original NED power supplies, all tested good before shipping.

Synhouse also has a MASSIVE stock of original NED wiring, much of it mint or even NOS, because most Synhouse polyphonic sampling systems and other custom builds get a massive wiring upgrade, but the original NED wires, if perfect (like the 2nd set on every computer bin power supply that was installed but never used), are kept in stock and used for repairs here and in the field. These are also available for mail order, so inquire if needed. Synhouse also has the original crimp tools, contact insertion tools, and pin extractors for the vast majority of the connectors used throughout all NED systems ever made, and stocks many of the housings and contacts as well.

+5v digital power supply for Synclavier II,  PSS,  PSMT,  PST     $225 (back in stock after being sold out)

+/-15v analog power supply for Synclavier II (115v only)     $25

Synclavier Disk Drives

NEW! Synhouse/Synclav.com Synclavier Power Supply Replacement/Upgrade for NED external Superfloppy drive (compatible with all world power 100v-230v, includes all ALL AC and DC power hardware from the 3-pin IEC AC inlet to the 4-pin disk drive power plug, all soldered of the heaviest gauge pure copper wires possible, nothing crimped, this is a MASSIVE upgrade from the old NED external Superfloppy enclosure innards [total garbage power supply, trash crimped wiring harness, illegally mis-colored wires, and illegal fusing scheme]) all in one fully assembled drop-in replacement assembly (this factory-made assembly has been used/shipped internally by Synhouse for years to supply 230v Euro power customers and to replace dead PSUs for USA 115v customers, available here in the Synclavier store for the first time)    $149

NEW! Synhouse/Synclav.com 1U Superfloppy rack in single and dual versions     $150

The single Superfloppy version has created mindblowing systems like this.

The dual Superfloppy version has created mindblowing systems like this.

The genius universal mounting setup allows single or dual Superfloppy drives, 3.5" SCSI Winchester drives, half height or full height 5.25" SCSI Winchester drives, and half height 5.25" SCSI magneto optical drives to be rack mounted in a single rack space along with a world power supply, load button, all needed bootload wiring, drive cabling, 4 MIDI outputs, and more. It is precision made like everything from Synhouse. The rack mounting depth of only 8" (20.3 cm) is slightly deeper than the standard NED MIDI module (galaxy brain-designed) so that nearly ALL of the above optional items can be mounted simultaneously, with a 3.5" hard drive/PSU or two 3.5" hard drives (most 1988-1992 systems already had lots of +5v/+12v power on board, Synclavier IIs and PSxx systems never did) mounted beneath the rear edge of the panel, allowing a previously unimaginable amount of hardware to exist in only 3U of rack space (PSMT with PSU behind dual drives at Synhouse 7/2014).

This makes incredible setups possible even in the smallest systems with the shallowest rack depth. The client for this amazing system selected the 3-level ATS enclosure in order to fit the 16-bit Analysis/Synthesis (Sample-to-Disk) Option (this was the purpose of that enclosure which didn't exist prior to the January 1982 introduction of that option, which was the world's first hard disk recorder, among other firsts like sample rate conversion), which was built from scratch starting with a completely cleaned out enclosure (as all Synhouse systems since day one in 2001 have been), and the requirement to put 32 Stereo Option synthesizer voices, dual Superfloppy drives, SCSI Winchester drive, power for all three drives, SMPTE Reader Option, and the MIDI Option, all in that shallowest 3-level ATS enclosure was made possible with this Synhouse/Synclav.com 1U dual Superfloppy version rack, and it came out like this. This is the inside view, PERFECT.

Most dead NED floppy drives and hard drives WOULD be working today if they hadn't been thrown around, dropped, and getting the cables stomped on and had been rack mounted like this as they should have been from day one. Only Synhouse did this. From day one. And they wouldn't have missing power and data cables because there would be none to lose. But alas, some people know how to make a piece of metal.........and some people don't.
(While it may be NEW! on this page, approximately 25 were handmade w/various details between 2002-2013 before the superior black powdercoated fastenerless aluminum plate design went into factory production 2013-present.)

Standard external floppy drive for Synclavier II (standard NED USA 115v-only power, or converted to world 100v-230v power w/detachable cord Synhouse SDPSUCB)    $500 (back in stock after being sold out, this price has recently increased three times due to the bare drive cost and relatively fewer drives being up to the stringent Synhouse testing standards)

Standard external floppy drive for Synclavier II (in stock NED USA 115v power, or converted to world 100v-230v power w/detachable cord Synhouse SDPSUCB)    $1,000 (same as above, but the above is tested good used, this one has a new/NOS bare drive in it from 40+ years ago and would likely have a longer life as it would have only a few minutes of setup/testing use on it here at Synhouse)

RARE double density external floppy drive for Synclavier II (standard NED USA 115v-only power, or converted to world 100v-230v power w/detachable cord Synhouse SDPSUCB)    $800 (super rare and back in stock after being sold out 14+ years, nearly all existing Synclavier IIs had to be converted to the original single density floppy drives due to the total lack of replacements for the 1982-1984 double density floppy drives with the much higher failure rates, from the user point of view there is no advantage to double density and never was, whether single density, double density, or high density Superfloppy, a disk can only have 64 sounds on it and no more due to the stupid file system that can only have one file name, but the reason these drives are irreplaceable is that 80+% of the Synclavier II disks being discovered out there are double density, not single density, and cannot be used without the correct double density drive)

The 4+ decade old Synclavier II floppy drives listed above this line (made from 1976 to 1984) are still fully tested for booting and loading sounds, but are no longer tested for formatting, this is a HIGHLY destructive process that puts 2-3 years of normal use on a drive in five minutes, and for nothing because not even 1 out of 20 Synhouse Synclavier II customers have ever formatted anything with the formatting software included with their systems. Not even 100kb of custom user programmed Synclavier II sounds have been received in 25+ years and 2,000+ disks coming in. Good working, good booting drives will likely remain this way for 10-20 more years with normal light use without subjecting them to such a destructive test. And as always, do NOT put the wrong type of 5.25" disk into a floppy drive (i.e. putting an unmarked disk into a single density drive) just "To see if it sounds cool." because it can ruin the drive instantly, almost always going into a "chucka-chucka-chucka" mindless mechanical loop that is destroying the disk, heads, and mechanical parts. This policy doesn't apply to the Superfloppy drives of the big Synclavier or Synclavier IIs retrofitted with the Superfloppy in order to have MIDI, but someday very soon it will, the price of those has tripled as the supply has dropped.

External Superfloppy drive for Synclavier PSS/PSMT/PST (converted to world 100v-230v power)    $575 (back in stock after being sold out, this price has recently increased three times due to the bare drive cost and relatively fewer drives being up to the stringent Synhouse testing standards, there's a bushel of drives here that boot fine but won't format a disk those aren't sold unless someone just needs something quick and cheap)

Bare Superfloppy drive for Synclavier PSS/PSMT/PST/3200/6400/9600/PostPro/PostPro SD/retrofitted Synclavier II (bare, just the drive that goes in existing enclosure or rack)    $350 (this price has recently increased three times due to the bare drive cost and relatively fewer drives being up to the stringent Synhouse testing standards, there's a bushel of drives here that boot fine but won't format a disk those aren't sold unless someone just needs something quick and cheap)

Synclavier Cables

Synhouse has a MASSIVE stock of original NED cables (that photo isn't meant to show the entire Synhouse cable stock, that's just a photo of one lot of cables received on a single day), all tested good before shipping. The 50-pin VK cables and SCSI cables come in the older style with the wire bail locks and in the newer screw type.

Synhouse also has a variety of Synhouse-manufactured cables, and custom cables are made to order as well, such as 100' Synclavier keyboard cables shipped for custom machine room installations.

The trash like this out there didn't come from Synhouse, that came from others who are long gone.

The MASSIVE stock of wire and cable that no one else ever had makes the best cables. Synhouse also has the original crimp tools, contact insertion tools, and pin extractors for the vast majority of the connectors used throughout all NED systems ever made, and stocks many of the housings and contacts as well.

VK cable (heavy jacketed flat Velocity Keyboard cable, also used for Synclavier II ORK), 6 feet     $150

VK cable (heavy jacketed flat Velocity Keyboard cable), multiple standard lengths over 6 feet     $(varies with stock and options)

round jacketed Synclavier II ORK cable (black poly or black cloth, usually 10 feet, stock varies if available at all)     $130

Superfloppy cable (heavy jacketed flat cable), "6 feet" (which is about 70" w/the connectors on it)     $45

Superfloppy cable (heavy jacketed flat cable), extra length, sometimes referred to as the "remote floppy cable" (but not to be confused with remote floppy R0 and R1 which no one has) (stock varies, usually around 50 feet)     $100

Synclavier II floppy drive cable (gray round jacketed cable), usually 5 feet or 10 feet, stock varies but the supply is always short)     $45
