it has 2 rows of button keyboard
this keyboard specially designed for playing glissando easily like koto(japanese harp)
front row of the keyboard is japanese scale,so just playing randomly you can easily get exotic japanese melody!

three sounds are selectable,shyakuhachi(japanese bamboo flute),koto(japanese harp) and pipe organ
sounds are very analog, warm and strange!"

Soundfly Tutorial on How to Play the Synth Bass from Bruno Mars “24K MAGIC

This one in via MATRIXSYNTH supporter, Soundfly. You'll find the full tutorial and track on Soundfly here. BTW, Soundfly has quite a few courses online, so if this particulary tutorial does not interest you, be sure to check out the rest.

"Step 1 — Oscillators

This is a thick dual-oscillator tone that, to my ear, sounds like that of the classic Minimoog (I have yet to confirm what synth was actually used, so feel free to hip us to any insider knowledge you may have in the comments!). To get this tone, we’ll need to set both our oscillators to a sawtooth waveform, with one tuned an octave below the other."

Street Electronics Echo Speech Synthesizer PC2 - Vintage Voice Synthesizer?

via this auction

Anyone know more about this one? I don't believe I've ever seen one of these before. The listing doesn't state much: "Up for sale or best offer is one Vintage Street Electronics Echo PC2 Synthesizer!

No card was included in the box, however it includes the external speaker box unit,manual,
and two larger floppy discs."

According to one of the floppies the brand is Street Electronics CORP. and the copyright date is 1988.

Update via Dave O Mahony in the comments: "Looks like the Echo 2 speech sound card add on for the Apple II. Seems it used the same chip as the Speak & Spell! [link] Auction doesn't include the card - just software and speaker!"

via Wikipedia:

"The Echo II was a plug-in expansion card, speech synthesizer card for the Apple II and Apple IIc personal computers that allowed applications to use speech synthesis. The Echo II used the TMS5220 speech synthesis chip to synthesize speech. The Echo II software could synthesize either unlimited text-to-speech using stitched phonemes, or play back raw LPC data for specific words, with resulting higher speech quality.

LPC (linear predictive coding) was the speech synthesis technology used, which allowed applications to encode speech data in a compact form. The Echo II used the TMS 5220 LPC Speech Chip which was popular in other speech synthesizers"

Korg 770 - demo and test

Published on Oct 19, 2016 Keith Negley

"This video is just to demonstrate the functions and working order of my Korg 770 analog synthesizer up for sale."

via this auction

"Korg 770 mono-synth in very good condition. Serial#: 770486
It is 100% functional. Every knob, slider and key works flawlessly with no scratchy pots or sticky keys/sliders. Previous owner had it serviced inside and out (5 years ago?) and had cv inputs installed in back. I've never used the cv inputs so I can't speak to how they work, but the owner demonstrated it to me when I bought it and they were functioning just fine. It has a few minor scuffs but nothing major and nothing that inhibits it's functionality. Note: It's missing the silver ring to the portamento knob (see pictures). The video link is my actual synth to demonstrate it all works great for this sale."

Roland RE-200 Space Echo Spring Reverb SN 180767

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

via this auction

"This listing is very special. It is for the rare and interesting early version of what became the popular Roland Space Echo RE-201.

This one is unique in that it has a reloadable tape cartridge called the Sony Endless Tape RE-5 that can be reloaded with standard 1/4" tape when it wears out vs. the 8 track tape the RE-201 uses.

Functionally this is being sold as-is only because I'm not the original owner and don't know much about its history. I can say that it spits out echo when fed signal and all knob settings work. So it works. The motor sounds good and was apparently overhauled by Roland according to the previous owner. Once again I can't guarantee this. It's what I was told..."
