Division 6 Business Card Sequencer and Synthesizer with a Korg NTS1

video upload by Chuck Stephens

"This is a Division 6 Business Card Sequencer and Synthesizer. These came as kits. The sequencer was $35 and the synth was $45. The sequencer is very capable. If you have any gear that takes CV pitch/gate buy one now! The synth is kinda lofi but it has potential with careful adjustment. For $80 this is a fun pair!

I ran them both through a Korg NTS1 for some delay, reverb and drums. The NTS1 is a $90 digital synth/effects kit. If you play music go bug one immediately! Seriously, I use the NTS1 as a synth with a midi keyboard, as a generative drum machine with the Ruismaker drum beta download and as an effects processor for everything. Anyway, this is a quick jam after some careful tweaking. I could record an album with this rig and a Keystep!"

The Forgotten Life Of Spliced Noodles

video upload by John L Rice

"A sort of "cutting room floor" video for fun. :-)

The sequence was basically done with a Moon Modular 569 sequencer and a Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Magnus VCO/voice module. I think there was an Oakley Flanger module and Club Of The Knobs Phase Processor modules used and probably other modules but the patch is no longer up and I can't remember. The soloing and chords were from a Yamaha FS1R and Roland Integra7 using Roland A-88 and A-49 keyboards.

As always, thank you for watching, rating, following, and commenting! 🥳 "

Roland MC-4: The 1981 Music Computer

video upload by Alex Ball

"A look at the Roland MicroComposer / MC-4 from 1981.

In 1977 Roland introduced the first ever microprocessor controlled digital sequencer, which was the MC-8 designed by Ralph Dyck. The MC-4 was the successor and was one of Roland's few CV/Gate digital sequencers before they moved over to MIDI shortly after.

Both when it was new and many years after it was seemingly obsolete, numerous artists swore by it and they're now sought after. In the video we explore why.

With thanks to Pea Hicks for the MC-8 footage and images.

"A little great analog synthesizer with all the Grp heritage of sound and capabilities. Wide 8 vertical space in 5U format or, if you prefer, optionally rack mountable, with a wooden sided dedicated cabinet, the Grp A2 Analog Synthesizer has MIDI In and Analog CV/Gate connections. It offers two big oscillators with the classic analog waveforms , from Grp, Plus Super Saw and Super Triangle; the great 12dB/Oct ; Grp State Variable Filter, one Ring Modulator (have you ever tried to ring modulate a 9-components Super Saw?), One Noise Generator, one Amplifier, one Master Out section with a couple of gorgeous analog Vumeters. There are a couple of Envelope Generators, the Filter-dedicated one with Looping capabilities as on big Grp A4 Synth and a couple of LFOs/Modulation Routings. The on board Arpeggiator can be clocked by Internal Clock, ExternalAnalog Clock or MIDI Clock; easy and fun, it's a breeze to use. Grp A2 Analog Synthesizer is built like a tank. But is far more dangerous."

Fender Rhodes Chroma Polaris SN 301269

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

via this auction

"Only 3600 ever made (1984), here we have a super-rare Fender Rhodes Chroma Polaris <> model 2123 s/n 101269. dims:- 100 x 37 x 11cms weight:- a chunky 19Kgs!..sure is robust! It has just been professionally serviced ~ fresh internal battery fitted, all reset to factory settings, switched to 220V operation, and some interesting patches loaded in.

Here are the specs:-
~ 6-voice polyphony
~ 61 dynamic keys
~ 132 memory slots (11 banks A > K x 12 progs each)
~ split/dual mode
~ 2 VCO (saw & pw)
~ 4-pole analogue filter
~ midi fitted ~ twin levers
~ sequencer
~ live control of filter/resonance/modulation ~ ring modulation ~ unique mod "sweep"
~ noise

Condition:- sourced from an avid UK collector, this Polaris has mostly been looked at/treasured. Its obvious that all the faders and membrane switches have many years of usage left - a nightmare common issue on such synths, as they do wear out..... keys are excellent; lowest "G" has some lateral "play" (aka wobbly side-to-side)...not a big deal. Casing is "good", no damaged veneer, just a few dinks of little note. All LEDS, levers, switches work perfectly. At the moment, the glide function is not working; we are printing off the manual; maybe that can be sorted....

Sounds like? Some reviews say "tinny"...we disagree. This synth is powerful. It excels at polysynth sounds, bass sounds, lead lines, silly percussive stuff/noise etc....but you will not find piano-type sounds.....leave that to the Korg M1 (well, they started all the sampled waveform stuff, didnt they?).This is subtractive synthesis. Find a progamme you like, live-tweak it, as most of the controls are waiting for you to do this, then pop YOUR creation into one of the 132 slots...simple as that!"

1979 Oberheim OB-X 8-voice Vintage Synthesizer w/Midi

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by Rod Abernethy

via this auction

Pic of the inside below.

"Vintage Oberheim OB-X 8-Voice Synthesizer from 1979 with Encore Midi Retrofit - in excellent original condition.

This Oberheim OB-X is a 61 key, polyphonic analog synthesizer, featuring dual oscillators (with sync and FM), noise generator, resonant 12dB low pass filter, dual ADSR envelopes, an LFO, 32 presets, tape interface, and CV IO.

I’m a composer for TV, film and video games and I’ve used this OB-X extensively since I bought it the '90s…sadly I don’t use it like I use to and it’s time to pass it along to someone that will love it as much as I have over the years. I remember searching long and hard before I found this particular OB-X, I believe I’m the second owner…the first owner took exception care of it before I got it.


This OB-X is most likely a Rev1 built in 1979. Over the years I've seen folks replacing caps, resisters, mini trim pots, etc. on their vintage synths but this OB-X still has all the original electronic parts and components, works great and sounds incredible! The only mod that is the Encore Midi Retrofit that I had done back in the '90s…I’ve not replaced anything else since I bought it. The only thing not working is the led on the Noise "Half" Button selector that doesn’t light up when turned on, it was like that when I bought it.


The Autotune works great, especially after the synth has warmed up for about 30 minutes. The original eight voice cards are in tune all across the keyboard and sound big and fat - but if you want them all in pitch perfect tuning you could have a true synth technician/specialist to do a calibration-tuning on the all eight cards/voices. To me, a slight variance in pitch on the collective eight voices is how I remember these synths sounding from the 80s:)


I’ve kept it in my smoke free studio ever since I bought it in the '90s with a cover when not being used. The keyboard is really clean and great looking. The letters and screening are exceptionally bright and sharp. There are marks on the bottom, that's the way I got it (see photos) and a few small scratches on the external metal casing. The side panels are in great condition (not real wood but they look fantastic). Some of the screws look like they might have been replaced but they all look like what I think the original screws look like. The keyboard is in excellent shape, and all keys feel in top shape and work well with no glitching.

It comes with copies of the owner and service manuals."

"Operation is very straight forward, but there is one incredibly unique feature: you can alter the waveform (and associated envelope shape) per step. Yes, it's essentially a "p-lock" 20 years before Elektron got there!

This unit has been completely serviced and calibrated (waveform volumes now match), and a diode put in across PSU input to prevent frying (PSU not included). PLUS it now had a custom non-volatile memory RAM board installed (no more batteries for pattern retention!)

It works a treat and sounds huge. Also has CV/GATE/CLOCK inputs, and CV/GATE/CLOCK/Sychro outputs, so easily able to be integrated into a modern modular setup."

Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy (1984) Instrumental Cover

video upload by KOSmusic

"This is my version of an unforgettable great classic from the mid 80s: Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat (of 1984).

I've always loved how this song starts with those pads and the DX7's signature harp... it always gave me goosebumps!! Furthermore, Sommerville's voice is truly fantastic with his unmistakable timbre.

I recreated the track by making some changes to the sounds and in particular to the management of the instruments, creating more stereo effect. I used the CS1x for brass, strings and synthesized trumpet. For the harp, I used the VST Dexed and the VST Jupiter-8 for the bass.

For the graphics of the video, I was inspired by the artwork of their first album 'The Age Of Consent'.

I hope you like the work I did on this track :)"
