This is the jacket recently posted here. It's worth noting only one other has gone up for sale, back in 2014 here. If you wanted one this might be your best chance at getting one.
"Roland Authorized Performer, All-Access Jacket (Medium). Condition is Pre-owned. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
From what I was able to gather, this jacket was part of a limited lot around 1990 selling for around $400. Otherwise I'm not positive on its history, but I've only ever seen one other like it myself.
Decent option for synth collectors or general fans of Roland. That being said, material is cowhide and wool, so it makes for a strong and insulated apparel option as well.
The leather sleeves have some light signs of wear, most notable being a small scratch near one shoulder, and little creases in the elbow region of the other arm. Nothing too distinguishable from any sort of distance though, as seen by the pictures."
"Bought it used , the synth looked like it had lived, the signature almost gone, side scratch, after a year owning the filter knob wasn’t working the same, I sent it to Tom Oberheim himself to fixed it! I have email proof,so this synth is solid."

"This jam we test out the DSI Pro 3 synth and an iPad Pro app Samplr for the first time in a gritty, more distorted jam. The Drumbrute Impact has separate outs routed to the Mackie board and having the inputs distorting in the red. Same with the Pro 3, the inputs are clipping the Mackie board."
Overview at 3:15.
Here's that Hainbach video they mention:
Using overdrive creatively: preamps, pedals, plugins, test equipment
Premiered Mar 30, 2020 HAINBACH
"In which I detail ways to overdrive signals to make synth and drum machine recordings more engaging - from subtle gain shaping with vintage mixers to all out nuclear test equipment destruction, as well pedals, plugins and modules."
A few pics in via Corey who plans to eventually scan these.
"I have a friend that used to work as a salesman at Roland back in the day. He recently gave me a copy of his old notebook of sales sheets that cover some really interesting and historical synths (and drum machines)."
I thought it was pretty cool/interesting to see them all in a folder like this. I'll be sure to post any more Corey sends in.

Dave Bessell Reality Engine DiN62
Release date 17th April 2020
Limited to 500 copies Digipak CD
Bar Code 5028423200628
Dave Bessell is a familiar name for followers of the DiN label for his previous solo release, “Black Horses Of the Sun” (DiN47), his two collaborations with Parallel Worlds (DiN41 & 56) and being a founder member of synth supergroup Node (DiN44 & 55).
This latest downtempo electronica solo release sees Bessell indulge his passion for literature in compositions inspired by the writings of Jorge Luis Borges, the Brothers Grimm and Lord Dunsany. The tracks are coloured with a strong flavour of magic realism - think “Pan’s Labyrinth” or “The Science Of Sleep”. Sonically “Reality Engine” draws on a whole variety of musical influences, from classical to psybient taking in innovative analogue modular sound design and expansive evolving musical journeys along the way. Bessell often uses unusual instrumentation alongside his analogue and modular synths and here he uses the beautiful Aum guitar to stunning effect. Full of engaging atmospheric moods and distinctive melodies, the album contains a wealth of detail that repays repeated listenings.
The album also comes with downloadable links (via Bandcamp) to specially created 3D environments that can be viewed in virtual reality (or can be navigated around with a mouse if you don't have access to a VR headset). You can see an example here: https://tinyurl.com/wtka5b3
This new album showcases once again the simply unique voice of this talented electronic music composer.

"Just a short video today, I found this great open source app which helps you create perfectly looped samples & sound fonts. Bonus for Yamaha EX5 owners: How to use sound fonts on your synth.
"A hard session with only my KORG MS20 and logic pro x. No edit no cuts. Real-time recorded every track. Every video corresponds to real panel settings and real sound sculpted. I hope to enjoy and share it around the world."
"Our Synth Snackables series invites you into the studios of talented and knowledgeable artists, and shows you staple tips, elaborate techniques and imaginative approaches for synth patch design.
For our first Synth Snackable session, we spent a day with Dutch artist Legowelt whose vast musical style spans many different worlds – some real, some imagined – and is designed in a unique and captivating way that keeps his listeners enthralled. His wealth of production knowledge and experience have been turned into five quick tips to help you push the boundaries of Peak.
In this video, beginning with the basis of the hurdy gurdy, Legowelt puts Peak into monophonic mode and assigns the fixed note function to play the same note with two oscillators. Now with the third oscillator free to play a higher note, Legowelt shows how you can quickly create a “jolly” medieval drone.
'Of course we can make it much more interesting.' Creating movement with filter envelopes, adding multiple LFO modulation and assigning pitch range to the two oscillators, Legowelt shows you can build on the basic hurdy gurdy to create a deepened historical-inspired melody.
"With Launchpad Pro [MK3], Launchpad Mini [MK3] and Launchpad X, we’ve created Custom Modes, a feature that allows you to design custom layouts for whatever your specific setup demands. Custom Modes can be used to bring to life software and hardware (or a mixture of both), by providing a blank canvas for you to build unique control layouts.
In this video, Enrique takes you through everything you need to know about Custom Modes using Launchpad X and Novation Components.
"In this live stream, Enrique goes through some of his favorite ways of taking his loops and song ideas and slowly turn them into fully finished songs. Utilizing some features from the Launchpad Pro Mk3, these tips can be applied to any DAW or other types of hardware!"

"Rossum Electro-Music's original product, the Evolution Variable Character Ladder Filter, sets itself apart from conventional lowpass filters with its Genus, Species, and variable Q Level Compensation controls."
"Here is an Oberheim DPX-1 in good used condition. This unit is a digital sample player. It was designed to play disks from the Ensoniq Mirage, E-mu Emulator II, Sequential Prophet 2000, and Prophet 2002. Cosmetically, it is in very nice condition. It has some minor nicks, dings, and scratches that don't affect functionality. This unit includes the power cord, a copy (not original) of the owner's manual, and the cardboard disk drive protector for the 5.25" floppy drive. It does not include any sound disks or other accessories.
This DPX-1 has been partially tested. The unit powers up and all of the buttons appear to function. It responds to MIDI, and I was able to load sounds from an Ensoniq Mirage disk that I had available. The internal "test" sound will also play via MIDI. I was not able to test disks for any of the other instruments that the unit is designed to play because I don't have them. There is a high-pitched hum from the power supply that does not appear to come through the audio output. The light for each of the disk drives illuminates when the drive is accessed."
"Roland Juno-60 from 1983. In excellent cosmetic and working condition, this one has just been serviced with the following:
- Battery adapter installation with new battery
- Factory patch reload
- Full keyboard contact cleaning
- Full calibration
As you can see, the keyboard is in fantastic shape with no missing parts. All the faders, buttons, and knobs function perfectly and silently. This keyboard lived a very gentle, quiet life! Aside from very minor wear from age and storage, there is a small dent on the back of the keyboard that keeps this from being near-mint condition and affects the function in no way. This is easily one of the nicest I've come across in the past 12 months!"
"This Juno has been rebuilt from the chassis up. Includes all new voice chips, custom LED upgrade, LED mod wheels, updated power supply and chord, Jupiter graphics overlay, custom designed metal cheeks, new gasket overlay to protect sliders and pots, replaced pots and sliders where needed and latest KIWI software update. Rebuilt by Syntegrator. This Juno has been played less than 5 times since its rebuild. It's in immaculate condition and extremely unique. It's a perfect addition to any vintage synthesizer collection."
"It's the well known module configuration with:
1x112, 1x121, 1x130, 1x140, 1x150 plus the cabinet.
It's been fully tested - all pots and switches work as they should, all jack sockets are clean and function correctly, its smooth and crackle free and ready to incorporate into your working studio."
"A great synth in full working order, has the Gligli mod which greatly enhances its capabilities. Included is the original Z80 chip (Mod is not soldered so it's easy to revert to factory) and a heavy duty padded road case.
All features and controls work as they should. Even the volume knob is clean and quiet, the noise floor is really low for a synth of this era. Membrane panel looks great, some wear on wooden cheeks. There is a small cigarette mark on one key and some psychopath wrote the names of the notes on the keys and subsequently *almost* removed them, but there are still faint marks. Both of those things were like that when I got the synth around 15 years ago, don't look at me. I used it only for recording and never moved it. I will try to include those details in pics as best I can. The important thing is the synth sounds perfect."
"Just serviced, everything is working fine, astounding shape, a collector's choice!. Includes user manual in three languages and booklet translated to spanish, and original cassette with factory sounds. New battery, without corrosion in the board."
"Inspired and officially licensed from Teia's Stochastic Function Generator which was introduced in 2013 but is no longer available. We used the concept of the early version but completely rebuilt and reprogrammed it's mcu to a fully featured 4 voice 2 stage envelope and slew generator.
DESCRIPTION
This new module + expansion is our take on a different envelope/slew generator. It's a fully featured Quad Analogue Core Envelope Generator and Slew Processor with digital control which also incorporates built in random generators to control the Rise and Fall times.
Covering the full range from short sharp notes to long slow sweeps of up to 6 minutes. Together with the random generators it excels when used for drone soundscapes.
Used as a Slew Processor the random generators act as dynamic modulation sources affecting the rise and fall slew speed.
Fully featured outputs act as encouragement to self-patching creating interdependent envelopes acting in sync.
FEATURES
Four independent Rise / Fall generators with individual timing controls.
Built in random generators for Rise and Fall Time each with Minimum and Maximum controls.
Three gate/trigger outputs per channel: End of Rise, End of Fall plus the standard Rise Gate output.
Two extra CV outputs with the Sum and the Average of all 4 voices cv outputs.
Four trigger inputs for the random engine.*
Four CV random outputs from the random engine.*
Dedicated attenuverters for amplitude and offset of each voice CV output. No more need for external attenuators, offsets and inverters.
"A drone from the Frequency Central 'Klang Stadt' filtered through the Frap Tools 'Fumana', which is having a few frequencies modulated by the Modcan 'Quad LFO' and the two LFO's in S&H mode from the Erica Synths 'Drum Sequencer'.
The ODD and EVEN outs from the 'Fumana' are feeding the Strymon 'Magneto'.
The ALL output from the 'Fumana' is feeding the Q-Bit 'Prism'.
An arpeggio from the Synthesis Technology E350 'Morphing Terrarium' fed through the Modcan 'Dual Delay' and the Doepfer 'A-101-3 Vactoral Phaser'.
Bass drum is the Mutable Instrument 'Peaks'. Snare is the Dave Smith 'DSM03 Feedback'. Added percussion is the Mutable 'Braids' in Cymbal mode feeding the Mutable 'Elements'.
Big low pad sound is the Sum output from the WMD 'PDO', the sub and saw out from the Livewire 'AFG' mixed then thrown through the ZVEX 'Instant Lo-Fi Junky' and a Tiptop 'Z-DSP' with the 'Halls of Valhalla' card installed."
"Super rare, beautiful portable combo Hohner Symphonic 65 organ - with repeater!
Sounds lush, warm, heavy, vintage, lots of character, big bass, also great subb bass!
Vibrato not working so it needs service on this. Everything else is working and in good condition all keys and knobs and faders work! Upper hardcase is missing.
It is really heavy! (round 23 kg) It is going to be well packed."
"Hurdy Gurdy (Denis Soirat model) tracked 10 times + a few synth lines to colour it up
Gurdy was processed (distortion, chorus etc...)
I could lie and say the synths were vintage machines but it was all a bunch of cheap plug ins : )
music by John Carpenter
murdered by Miguel d'Oliveira in isolation"

Never realized a Hurdy Gurdy could sound like a synth.
"The #Korg #minilogueXD is just so awesome. Here in limited pearl white version. For the whiteout jam I added the #korgvolca sample. With the #volcadrum it would be perfect. With which #synth or #musicgear would you combine?
