I've never seen one of those before. But it sort of reminds me of those late 70s-early 80s Soviet era Russian Moog and Prophet knockoffs that you can occasionally find on there. I always think about picking one of those up, but alas, I never do.

My first introduction to the Gleeman was on the Moog Cookbook album. I think they use it at the beginning of a weezer song or something, sounds pretty cool!

To sales my ultrarare Gleeman Pentaphonic synthesizer. It is just(exactly) about the device which Matthias Becker has illustrated in his(its) book synthesizer From Yesterday and has discussed!!! The Pentaphonic is - how the name already says - 5-voices and has a very voluminous and warm Sound which lies somewhere between Memorymoog and prophet 5. According to people(persons) from the net is the Gleeman the single Synth which can hand the water to the Minimoog!!! The device has the number 58 with all Features such as - 100 internal Presetpatches which one can load at any time again - 100 freely provable Patches - Interval Tuning Modification with which one has a Chord-Memory function with three oscillators. - External Trigger In to the synchronization internal sequenzers - 300 marks(notes) Sequenzer - joystick for Pitch Bend and modulation. Three oscillators with regulators for Gain, Shape (COMP 1, COMP 2, 3% of pulses, 12% of pulses, 50% of pulses, RAMP, TRI and SINE) and switches(counters) for OCTAVE HIGH - LOW. Fatter 24dB filter with own ADSR and resonance. Inserted loudspeaker to the direct(straight) one play without arrangement(enclosure). The US tension (there was him also actually only there) 110 V. The device is in very good and fully functional condition and is very much geplegt. Jediglich with a voice is vaguer of the filters than with the other. If one turns up the Cutoff fully, funktionert, however, everything. Perhaps one must adjust a VCF again. It is probably about one of the rarest and in the least built synthesizer actually and he is only very difficult or not to agree at all!!! Eingbaute Chorus still lends him additional full warmth and an extremely wide sound. With questions, please, mail before!!! Collection is preferred because the dispatch is too insecure. If necessary also dispatch with assurance(insurance) after arrangement. FOREIGN BIDDERS WELCOME, INFO PLEASE ASK FOR. A lot of enjoyment while offering:-) I can give no guarantee according to the EU to a device of this age naturally, really it is said to me like if it is fetched and is tested:-)
