via this Reverb listing

"E-Mu SP-12 with the Turbo Upgrade in Very Good+ condition, fully functional, and just received a $747 professional service by Advance Musical Electronics in LA — recapped, recalibrated & performing like new.

Originally a standard model with 1.2 seconds of sample time, it’s now upgraded to the Turbo edition with 5 seconds via brand-new RAM and OS (Version 2.6) chips.

Made in Santa Cruz, CA USA.

Highlights:

Boots instantly with internal RAM – no floppy boot loading, no lost work if you forget to save.

Skip the floppies: Modern tools like SP12 Librarian & EMXP make sample management easy via computer.

Lo-fi sampling tricks double or quadruple sample time with pitch shifting — that signature SP sound.

Slightly higher sampling rate than the SP-1200 (on paper) and stock ROM sounds built in.

More unique and rarer than the SP-1200 — only produced for a short time.

Ideal for hybrid setups: use the SP as a sequencer and sound shaper, with a rack sampler for long samples.

Looks cooler, sounds amazing, and (IMHO) it’s better than an SP-1200 for less than the price of one."

KINO For You And I ~ Vintage Synth Cover ~ КИНО Нам с тобой

supported by UVI: http://bit.ly/retrosound-uvi

❤️ Support #RetroSound​ channel: https://retrosound.creator-spring.com

One of my favorite tracks from my favorite soviet/russian music group KINO.
For You and I (Нам с тобой) from the Black Album (1990)

Featured the Alisa 1377 Analog Synthesizer and the E-MU Emax SE Sampling Synthesizer

This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers."

Emu 70s modular university/Pat Gleeson?

VEMIA is Peter Forrest's auction house. He is the author of The A-Z of Analogue Synthesizer Books.

"This interesting E-mu modular started out life at an American university, at a time when E-mu were happy to sell circuit boards and sub-modules to individuals as well as manufacturing the systems themselves. Because this was built by two people, they were completely familiar with the layout (even though they decided in a few respects to make changes to the design to improve the layout of, for instance, the Universal Active Filter). That meant that they had no lettering on the panels (as well as none of the distinctive blue edging that E-mu themselves use on modules). Further research: according to a post for an auction in 2014, it was actually built by Pat Gleeson and a PhD student, and there were some pencil markings on the panel which have since worn off. Search the wonderful matrixsynth for Early Vintage E-mu Modular for Sale . Here's the link: https://www.matrixsynth.com/2014/05/early-vintage-e-mu-modular-for-sale.html. The most likely supposition is that this was built for Cal State East Bay (then known as Cal State Hayward), but we're trying to find out more.

In the interests of intelligibility by someone not intimately involved in its creation, we decided that it needed labelling. We did this with cheap tape, and a Brother printer. The results are more useful than beautiful. (If it was partly Pat Gleeson's work, the lettering and blue tape could easily be removed if you wanted.) Cosmetically it is generally good - the knobs have started to discolour a bit after nearly 50 years, but are still nice to use. One silver top is missing.

Working order: every module has been checked out as 100%. Three of them needed some expertise from Tony Wride, who used E-mu parts where possible and Pioneer Tribute parts where not. Altogether this modular is probably about 97% E-mu and 3% Pioneer. As this process has taken a year or two to complete, and the modular hasn't received the regular playing it deserves, some pots may be scratchy when first used.

Check the pics for what you will get. The UAF needed a replacement wooden piece in the cabinet to screw into, so hadn't been connected when we took the pics. Packing 30GBP."

Music Production Gear that is still TOO CHEAP!!!

video upload by AudioPilz

"In this video we are going to talk about music production gear that is still too cheap. There has been a lot of social media drama about a music technology company ripoff or scam so I thought it is about time to put a focus on synths , grooveboxes and drum machines that are - in my opinion - seriously undervalued.

Most of the products we are taking a look at today have been discontinued so the main metric will be used prices on Reverb but some of these electronic music instruments are still available new for astonishingly affordable prices.
