"Up For Grabs Fully working rare vintage Hohner HS1 Sampling synthesizer with original manuals, made in 1987 identical to the Casio FZ1 except it’s a lighter colour these are very hard to find. Includes sample library of 33 floppy discs  This sampler features. Classic 16-bit sampling, ,analog filters, additive synth built in, draw your own waveforms!.

Surprisingly the FZ-1 also has a built-in synthesizer section. It uses digital synthesis employing both harmonic additive synthesis and waveform drawing. Basic waveforms available include sawtooth, square, pulse, double sine, saw/pulse, random waves and 48 harmonics.

Basic waveforms are available to put into the memory - these are basic analogue shapes that can be subject to filtering and amplitude modulation under envelope control - making the FZ sound like an old analogue machine even if you do not sample anything..."

"The Hohner Bass 3 is an Analog Bass Synthesizer with three "voices," Guitar, String, and Tuba. Sounds thick and warm, perfect for Krautrock-inspired sounds, or Ray Manzarek-style jamming; was also used recently by producer Danger Mouse. Black with white keys, clean and great condition. Comes with its own briefcase. Sounds incredible through a little fuzz or delay."

"It's a real rarity, made in 1964, according to an item on the web.

In fact, I've only found one decent web page with any information on it: WIKIZIC

It was made by HOHNER (the accordion people), but don't hold that against it, they also made the excellent STRINGER, and STRING Performer machines.

It's a monophonic 2.5 Octave bass synth, with three preset sounds: Guitar, String, and Tuba. Now, as I recall, only two of these work, but given the BASIC nature of these machines, it's probably a loose wire. Can't be sure, though, and I now have nothing to plug it into to test it.

It comes with the original flightcase, complete with orignal Bass3 sticker, and along with mains lead and plug."
