Roland TR-505 modified with custom LinnDrum ROM

Published on Jul 19, 2015 Harry Axten

"A quick demo of what I've spent the last week or so tinkering with. I've gotten the fairly bland Roland TR-505 from 1986 playing back custom sounds from an EEPROM. I chose to use sounds from the LinnDrum, my favourite drum machine. Full writeup can be found at http://harryaxten.altervista.org/tr50..."

Korg ARP Odyssey PSYCHEDELIC SYMPHONY with organs that sound like synths ELKA 707 FARFISA Compact

Published on Aug 1, 2015 VolcaRock

"Hola Amigos, here is my Psychedelic Symphony in 4 1/2 movements with Korg ARP Odyssey 2015 and 4 1/2 vintage organs that can sound like synths.
I was interested in early Pink Floyd & Tangerine Dream, So I bought 4 analog organs for the price of one YAMAHA Reface YC :-) I couldn’t believe what amazing instruments you get for the money.
Most time I tried to let them sound like synths and not as typical organs.

Instruments used:
Korg ARP Odyssey 2015
Elka Artist 707 (1978) with Elka Rhapsody 610 string synth & Elka Soloist 505 on board
Farfisa Compact (1967)
Farfisa VIP 345 (1972)
Farfisa VIP 200 R (1975)
Farfisa Syntorchestra (1976) string machine with solo synth
Elektron Octatrack (for recording audio)
Godin LGX-SA guitar
Jim Dooley on Drums

Hope you enjoy my 70ies inspired psychedelic trip :-)

Vintage Farfisa VIP Professional Duo Organ Synth

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

Cool looking synth organ from the past.

"Introduced in 1970, the Duo is virtually identical, feature-wise, to the Professional 222, the Duo adds a lower manual, with a pretty decent selection of voices (clearly a first for Farfisa!), and an impressive pedal unit, including a Slalom pedal.

---

Most of this organ is working, but it does need to be serviced to bring it back up to 100% functioning capability.
Seven or eight keys (out of 122) don't function when certain voices are selected, but do function when other voices are selected. The key and voice combination vary. The oscillators need to be re-tuned, some of the volume slider caps are loose, there are a couple of dirty contacts (mainly the Clarinet - Sharp voices) that cause fuzz every now and then and a couple of keys that are louder than the others. Internally, there are variable resistors that can change the volume of certain voices, so I'm assuming that this is what needs to be addressed.

I have sprayed the inside out with an air compressor, polished the wood, cleaned the body, keys and case and cleaned the contacts the best that I could. Comes with the original sheet music holder, bass/volume/slalom pedals and top case..."

"recently serviced by James Walker
- calibrated, new keyboard bushes, some replacement switches.

Condition - see photo's - some marks, faded print on rear and on silver plates.
Other - all works, a few crackly pots, a very slight & quiet hum - very low level and masked by the synth sound, but mentioning it to cover myself from the picky. You have to turn off the VCOs (why would you do that?!) and really turn up your PA to hear."

"What is that weird thing around the back? I hear you ask. Many Expanders had a ribbon cable out back, this is for plugging into another Kobol rack, usually the programmer. I custom made a PCB to make the connection easier.
It's normal to see this cable. It can be removed easily enough."

Crumar Performer with octave slider plus sustain options!

Published on Aug 1, 2015 sounddoctorin

"Bob Weigel of http://www.sounddoctorin.com shows a tech brief and demo of his latest modification. The last Crumar Performer version I have used the SSM2040 vcf and a SSM2056 eg in place of the moog vcf and discrete eg. with it's quirky interactive behavior used in the original units. The last version also adds an octave switch.

As it turns out barely over an octave can be achieved at the summing node for pitch without causing oscillations to cease for whatever reason I discovered, as I installed a slider instead of a switch in this unit giving a lovely contiguous transition of pitch for 1 octave. Provided you don't retune it with the tuning pot on back :-). There is a requirement to readjust the trim pot I installed if you do that. But as long as you keep it on A440 it's a nice octave. SEE MY PREVIOUS video on the performer mod to see details of how to give yourself four modes of operation with regard to sustain and crescendos."
