"Classic 80s Casio CZ1000 synth in great working condition, looks good as well, this is essentially the full sized version of the CZ101. ALL keys, buttons, sliders, jacks work great. The PRESET memory patches are there and great.. as shown in the video attached. But the INTERNAL patches are blank.. because there are no old school D Size Batteries in the battery compartment. Otherwise, all is great!"

Testing 9 Experimental Pedal Combinations – Ambient, Loops & Sound Design

video upload by A Last Picture From Voyager

"In this video, I test 9 experimental guitar pedal combinations for ambient loops, textures, and sound design.
If you feel stuck using the same pedals in the same way, experimenting with new pedal chains can unlock fresh ideas.
Even without the same pedals, this walkthrough can help you imagine new ways to use your own gear for ambient and experimental music.

Let me know in the comments if any of these combinations sparked new ideas for you.

RetroSound Studio Tour: Vintage Hardware Sampler from the 80s

video upload by RetroSound

"RetroSound Studio Tour: Classic Hardware Sampler from the 1980s

In this episode of RetroSound Studio, I explore legendary vintage hardware samplers that shaped early digital music production. From professional 8-bit and 12-bit studio machines to iconic toy sampling keyboards, these instruments defined the sound of 1980s electronic music, hip-hop, experimental, and synth-based production.

The E-mu Emulator II became one of the most iconic 8-bit samplers ever produced, known for its warm analog filters and unmistakable character. The E-mu Emax brought professional sampling to more studios with its gritty 12-bit sound. The PPG Waveterm, paired with the PPG Wave system, represents one of the earliest digital sampling and wavetable workstations in synthesizer history.

On the experimental side, the Casio SK-1 and Yamaha VSS-200 introduced affordable lo-fi sampling to a generation of musicians, becoming cult classics for their crunchy digital tone and creative limitations.

These vintage samplers shaped genres such as synth-pop, early hip-hop, industrial, experimental electronic music, ambient, and film scoring. Today, they remain highly sought after by producers and collectors researching vintage hardware samplers, 80s sampling technology, Emulator II sound, Emax workflow, PPG Waveterm history, and lo-fi sampling keyboards.

If you are interested in classic digital sampling, early electronic music production, or rare retro studio gear, this RetroSound Studio episode offers an in-depth look at some of the most influential samplers ever built."

RetroSound Studio Tour: Vintage Digital Synthesizers

video upload by RetroSound

"RetroSound Studio Tour:
Legendary Vintage Digital & Hybrid Synthesizers of the 80s and early 90s

In this episode of RetroSound Studio, I explore classic digital synthesizers that revolutionized electronic music production during the 80s and early 90s. From FM synthesis and wavetable synthesis to vector synthesis, PD synthesis, vitual analog and Roland’s LA synthesis, these instruments introduced a new generation of sound design and defined the sonic identity of an era.

The Yamaha DX7 became one of the best-selling synthesizers of all time, defining FM electric pianos and metallic digital textures. The PPG Wave pioneered wavetable synthesis, laying the foundation for modern digital sound engines. The Sequential Prophet VS introduced vector synthesis, allowing dynamic blending between digital waveforms. The Roland D-50 shaped late-80s pop and film scoring with its LA synthesis architecture, while the Roland JD-800 brought hands-on control back to digital synthesis in the 1990s.

These digital synthesizers shaped genres such as synth-pop, new wave, ambient, house, techno, trance, and film music. Today, they remain highly sought after by producers, collectors, and sound designers researching vintage digital synthesizers, 80s keyboard sounds, virtual analog, classic FM synthesis, and wavetable history."

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.
