"HERE is one of the must bizzar O & interesting instruments I ever found at any point of my life. I call it my...Funky comodina!
I came across rheem keyboards, farfisa, rare technics synths, but the organ keyboards are always the winners on oddities, and today I present you the mother load of all oddity’s
"The music machine” by WEBCOR this little organ is probably the first workstation ever build, has a mixer build in has a tape recorder deck, radio FM AM, on board yes ...As I told you,crazy! The mic is also included and it is camouflaged on the tip of the antenna, a super SPY accessorius, on board rhythm section with 5 presets, really "fat" with a really "heavy" bottom and cool "crispy high hats"
Absolute beat box master. The organ section has a vibrato which sounds teremining hunting.The tape sounds fantastic, build in neve "like it" vumeters so cool, build in mic /aux mic in /headphones output, treble/bass EQ section ,and one of the coolest things is a real workstation! aspire to have a phono/mag preamp section, this is to much for a little organ build on the end of the sixties, yes you are right!!! Is made in JAPAN, rare because this is a Chicago base all American company, which used to make electronic bits for "Hammond" when they just start to make organs. WEBCORD which is famous for his wire tube decks have the expertise to make organs, why not a organ to have "all" including a radio, and if that’s not enough put a microphone a tape deck and not the last a input phono /line in preamp!!
Hey don’t forget the headphones, if you want to record the mic,organ and the rhythm section just hit record on your deck if you wanna use the deck to record the radio? Presto!
Each section has a Vol control AKA mixer then if you want to add some EQ, you have your treble & bass controls. A matrix switch which works like the UREI 1176 ratio switch control.
The 5-matrix drum machine works the same way and is interactive as the other matrix. The keyboard is in great shape and is an absolute electronic jewel, very rare, and I have never see a synth like this one before it is amazing, big booty octave section, is made in a very jetsons eames plastic. "
A freind of mine has one of these and it's not quite as exciting as you might imagine. The radio won't operate at the same time as the organ, the organ offers only a choice of 8' or 4' flute (not both), cheesy rhythms are pretty generic (if you have a TR66 you don't need one of these). When he plugs it in to his VCS3 the sound can be greatly improved though. I havn't tried the phono input yet but plugging in a line level to any phono i/p should result in severe and nasty distortion.
