Bad Gear - Philips PMC 100


video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Philips PMC 100 Composer. This 80s groovebox/workstation thing and weird combination of an FM synth and a tape deck is the only Philips instrument that I am aware of. Will it replace your Yamaha DX7?

"In 1986 I guess Philips decided to try and branch out into the synthesizer boom. The result seems to be this one of a kind FM groovebox walkman data synthesizer hybrid peculiarity! And then I guess they gave up, hehe"

"Speed mod on the 1986 Philips PMC100 did wonders! I could play with this FM groovebox for days now just slowing down the tape. Just adding a simple PWM DC motor speed controller that you can get for like $10. Simply wonderful!"
