  2. Thanks for noticing my pic, although sir ruff is correct in that this unit is not very special. Its fun to mess around with, and I can get some nice analog sound from it, but its easy to get bored with. Just too many limits with it.

  3. I think the Orbit synth was found as the third manual on the Wurlitzer Funmaker. I remember playing one of these in a thrift store a while but I couldn't get the synth part to make any sound! Boo.

  4. i have a 7" demo record for a Wurlitzer home organ "WITH ORBIT III SYNTHESIZER!"

    it's a pretty cool little couple of tunes with period home-organ-with-crap-synth-and-crap-rhythm-box type playing and sound. or as i like to say, KICK ASS!

    if i get around to archiving it i'll send you a link and pic etc, but Jon Santos Plays Bach comes first as i promised it to the Baron von Synthhausen like 2 years ago.

  5. I have one of these Orbit IIIs in my Wurli, too. Does anybody know how hard it would be to give it its own power supply and output jack, so it could operate as a stand-alone??
