Prismatic Spray II demo video 1
video upload by Arman Bohn
"You can get on the waitlist for the Prismatic Spray II and check out my other things here:
https://distropolisgoods.com/
Hey -
It's been a while. Life is a bit crazy.
Prismatic Spray II is almost ready. Found a few more little bugs today and fixed them. Almost ready to order the printed manual!
I'm just noodling around here. I stumbled on to this rhythmic pattern that I really liked so I start with it running on both the left and right engines. I start to change the right side while leaving the left side plodding along.
Eventually, you can see me switch up the bytebeat incantation for the right side and things start to get wacky. You get a little look at one of the visualizations towards the end.
I'll post the manual before too long - but feel free to ask me about the PSII in the comments."

CS80 improvisation 1 - sit back & relax
video upload by The Synth King
"Hi,
here is my first ambient improvisation with a Yamaha CS 80. This instrument has been given to me for thorough inspection. Cosmetically the CS80 is in a quite bad shape, however, from a technical perspective it works almost perfectly. You will notice some issues with one voice distorting and not beeing consistent in volume (probably a bad VCA).
I´m working on a video showing further details on how I came to this instrument or shall I say how this CS80 found me. Stay tuned.
Bernd"

Korg Wavestation: Classic 90s Digital Synth Power
video upload by Espen Kraft
"The Korg Wavestation AD from the early90s. The bastard child of the Sequential Prophet VS.
This is the demo song from my much longer Korg Wavestation video from 2020. It's still available on my channel right here.
Everything in this demo song is coming from the Wavestation AD (module) I use. The Wavestation AD is also the only Wavestation model that has analog inputs and can be used as a vocoder, which you also can hear in this video. To use my own voice as a patch I use the WaveRex PCM card."

"Peruvian semi-modular analog synth with an absolutely INSANE sounding filter.. This synth can easily allow you to take Acid music to a whole new level of crazy. It's in abolutely MINT condition, it even has the protective outer film layer on it still. 100% fully functional and has been used for less than 2 hours in total. The power supply is included but you need to get a very common cord for it. It's same type of cord that's used for various rack gear & old school computers. Should be easy to obtain. the last pic shows you the style of cord it uses."

"A basic synth with a WILD vactrol acid filter. The "4 + >" button doesn't work very well when pressed in it's center but works fairly ok if you press down on the top edge of the button at an angle. All other buttons work fine, knobs are all good, Screen is crisp and bright & synth engine is fine. There are bubbles in the clear plastic body parts & a black scuff on the green face plate. No power cord included but it's a very common type of cord, easily obtainable."

HALG-CD 4Mb Memory Card
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this eBay listing
"This card original circuit was fully developed by DoJoe - J. Fenkes and with the great community of keyboard lovers. HALG modified the mechanical, the circuit, and incorporated couple important changes:
✔ The 3 main slide switches that are on the back of the card are stronger now;
✔ The components placement are fully located inside of plastic cover to protect against ESD (electrostatic discharge)
✔ A card enclosure was designed to protect the card when you need to carry around
✔ A plastic case now fits perfectly to cover components and switches;
This memory card is a replacement for Roland’s M-128, M-256 and M-512 cards, as well as the electrically compatible Akai BR-16 and BR-32 cards. Compared to the original cards, this card has two advantages:
✔ It does not require a backup battery. It uses magnetoresistive RAM for storage rather than
regular static RAM, which is a type of RAM that can typically keep its data for twenty years
before it needs to be refreshed.
✔ A single card actually stores 16 M-128 / M-256 cards or 8 M-512 cards, which can be
accessed by a pair of convenient switch sliders at the rear end of the card.
✔ Like the original card, it also comes with a write protect switch.
