video upload by Espen Kraft

"Emax, Emax II, Casio SK-1, Roland Junos and everything mashed together with arcade sounds and kung-fu.
This is a blend of the studio production and a live performance of the track.

The track itself is called "The Kung-Fu Arcade" and is available (digital download) from me directly upon request."

Casio FZ-1 – Installing the New OLED Display Kit


video upload by EMW Synthesizers

Addtional EMW Casio posts

"INFORMATION

The project works perfectly for normal use of the FZ-1, FZ-10M and FZ-20M. All menu screens, editing pages, sampling functions, parameters and general operation display correctly. Only a few fully graphical screens, such as Hand Drawing, Sin Synthesis and Graphic Envelope, may show minor pixel irregularities. This does not affect usability in any way; these functions continue to work normally and the issue is purely visual.
As I no longer have time to continue development, I do not plan to refine these small graphical details. Even so, the kit leaves the FZ fully usable, which is exactly what allowed me to bring my own FZ-1 and FZ-20M back to life and use them normally again.

FZ-1 Kit

For the FZ-1, we supply a complete kit, including:
A dedicated support with the logic board.
A second support with the new OLED display that fits perfectly into the original display mounting position.

Installation requires no soldering and no special skills. The kit uses the original FZ-1 mounting screws, and the entire installation can be completed in under 20 minutes.
Please watch the FZ-1 installation video on our YouTube channel for a full step-by-step demonstration.

FZ-10M and FZ-20M Kit

For the FZ-10M and FZ-20M, we supply a single integrated assembly including the support, logic board and display. This assembly fits perfectly into the original display location of the module.

Installation is very simple, requires no soldering, and typically takes around 15 minutes. The process is also demonstrated in the installation video available on our YouTube channel.

Pricing and Ordering

The price for the kit (logic board, display, supports and cables) is US$249.00 + shipping.

Oberheim PHASOR P-100 Pedal aka Maestro MPS-2 Miniphase. 1974 Pot & Chip dates SN 1605

Casio MT-40 through Oberheim Phasor P-100

video upload by Edward Jones



via this eBay listing

Pics of the inside below.

"Genuine 1974/5 early production Oberheim Phasor aka Maestro Mini-Phase.

This is legitimately a piece of guitar pedal history!

IC and Pot values date this to Late 74. IC dates are 18th and 23rd week of 1974. Pot 38th week 1974.

All original, all parts functioning.
All capacitors are working as intended, so none have been changed.

Designed by legendary Tom Oberheim.
While it's not the first phaser to ever hit the shelves, the Maestro Mini-Phase and this Phasor are the firs "Pedal" format phaser in the form factor we all know and love.

This is a buffered bypass pedal.
Anyone claiming theirs is True Bypass has either modified it, or misunderstands true bypass and are just using it as a buzzword.
I included the schematic for you.

This has seen little use it has not been used for the last 25 years as it was in storage.
The owner had it stores in a box of miscellaneous equipment, which was mislabled.
Some battery leakage as shown, but the battery holder is not adjacent to PCB so no functional damage occurred.
I haven't attempted to remediate the damage as I don't want to damage the paint."

PlantsSystem-MerryChristmasMrLawrence


video upload by plantssystem

This one is in via supporting member plantssystem.

"PlantsSystem has recreated Ryuichi Sakamoto classic song 'Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence' with their own unique interpretation. While preserving the original's tranquil sadness and heartwarming warmth, the texture of electronica breathes new light and breath into the song.
The transparent synth sounds and arrangement that carefully captures even the moment the sound fades away invite the listener into a deep afterglow.

This lyrical and beautiful cover quietly blends PlantsSystem's worldview with a melody that has endured through the ages.

#sakamoto #plantssystem"

Casio VZ-1: controlling amplitude with the mod wheel

"After I shot yesterday's VZ-1 PWM video [posted here] I realized it would have been nice to use the mod wheel to control the PWM depth. In this video I show how you can do that.

CASIO FZ-10M / FZ-20M New OLED Display connection.


video upload by EMW Synthesizers

"The project works perfectly for normal use of the FZ-1, FZ-10M and FZ-20M. All menu screens, editing pages, sampling functions, parameters and general operation display correctly. Only a few fully-graphical screens — such as Hand Drawing, Sin Synthesis and Envelope — show small pixel irregularities. This doesn’t affect usability at all; those functions still work normally, it’s only a visual detail.

Since I no longer have time to continue development, I don’t plan to refine those small graphical variations. Even so, the kit leaves the FZ fully usable, which is exactly what allowed me to bring my own FZ-1 and FZ-20M back to life and use them normally again.

For the FZ-10M and FZ-20M, the kit is supplied already mounted on a dedicated support/bracket. You simply remove the original display module and install the new assembly in the same place, as shown in the video. This makes the upgrade very straightforward for these models.

For the FZ-1, I provide the logic board, the display and the cables for connection. In this case, the internal mechanical mounting and support are left to each user, who can adapt the installation to their own unit. It’s not difficult, but it does require some basic DIY skill.

The price for the board, display and cables is $199.00 + shipping. The payment must be made to our PayPal registered account: info@electronicmusicworks.com

If you are interested just send an email to: info@electronicmusicworks.com

Note: We are currently unable to ship to the United States, as our mail service is still adjusting its system to the new tariff policies."

1010music Bento Meet Vintage Synthesizer Studio


video upload by RetroSound

"(c)2007-25 by RetroSound
supported by UVI: http://bit.ly/retrosound-uvi

A journey into integrating the 1010music bento into a vintage synthesizer studio is embarked upon. The seamless blending of modern sampling and sequencing capabilities with classic analog warmth is explored.

After familiarising myself with my new toy from 1010music last week, the next step was to integrate it into my existing setup in a meaningful way. Bento takes over the work of the drummachine (LM1 samples), the control and recording of the Juno-106 and Casio CZ-101. I deliberately chose not to use a PC, I let Bento do the most things. Even the processing and effects.

Interested?
❤️ I have the 1010music bento in my Thomann shop: https://thmn.to/thocf/h9izhzc4wh

Demo Tracks by RetroSound:
0:06 bento and Roland Juno-106
2:12 bento and Casio CZ-101
4:55 bento and Roland Juno-106
