"A classic 12-bit hardware sampler/sequencer known for it's unique character and ease of use. If you know, you know. This one is in excellent functioning condition with minor cosmetic blemishes. Includes boot disk, Version 1.2 and AC power cable.
Recently serviced and cleaned internally, ready for action."
"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."

One of my favorite tracks from the early 80s.
Human Nature by Michael Jackson from the album Thriller (1982)
Written by Steve Porcaro (Toto)
I used the Roland Juno-60 for the arpeggio and bass (original Jupiter-8), the Oberheim OB-Xa for pads, strings and horn sounds and the Emulator II for the Rhodes and guitar sounds."

Rodina Alisa 1377 - Soviet Analog Synthesizer (1985) The Alisa 1377 is a rare monophonic analog synthesizer built in the Soviet Union during the mid-1980s. Manufactured at the Lyubertsy Military Radioplant 'Rodina' near Moscow. A lead synthesizer intended not for mainstream pop, but for experimental electronic music, sound design, film work and research. Produced in small numbers, making surviving the units rare. The Alisa 1377 is fully analog. All waveforms can be used individually or in combination. Frequency modulation (FM) available for all waves. Pulse width modulation (PWM) with adjustable width and depth. Octave switches (+1 / +2) and portamento. The sound character is warm, raw and a bit instable. Unconventional compared to western synths. The self-oscillating filter and the FM options allow for metallic, droning, and very experimental tones.
The video sequences are made by Natalja Smirnowa in Dec 2025 in Sankt Pertersburg (Russia)

"Classic 80s 8bit PCM drum machine, used in countless hits.
This particular unit was serviced:
- all electrolytic capacitors were replaced
- switches and pots were cleaned
- latest firmware eprom was installed (3.0)
- factory patterns were loaded
- MIDI interface was added, built using the original E-mu design. This allows you to trigger the 12 sounds over MIDI dynamically
- comes with 4x additional eproms containing the famous LinnDrum LM2 sounds. I made a video a few monthes ago comparing 2 drumulators with stock and linnDrum kit if you want to hear the difference (youtu.be/k_EuRlCi_Vk)
Works perfectly. Cosmetic it is in quite good condition with some scuffs here and there, and also 2 holes were drilled in the back from a previous owner (no idea what was the reason).
Unit is 230v."
"This is not your typical Emulator III. This unit has been meticulously refurbished over dozens of hours, sparing no expense, and thoroughly tested, and is working great. RS-442 interface and external SCSI devices were not tested since we don't have external devices for testing. We see no reason for them not to work but only because we didnt test them, we cant guarantee it. Will be packed right to arrive intact. Will ship internationally."

I had so much fun putting this together. I paid homage to the original masterpiece by Stu Phillips but injected it with more raw synth fire power 🎹 🔥 🔋

"The E-mu MP-7 “Command Station” is a powerful 64-voice groovebox packed with the Proteus-style “Mo’ Phatt” soundset, known for its hip-hop, R&B, and electronic-leaning presets. It features deep sequencing, real-time controls, and expandable ROM slots for adding entirely new sound libraries.
Built like a tank and highly programmable. Tested in great working condition, shows average cosmetic wear.

"We are thrilled to welcome synthesizer pioneer Dave Rossum to the Board of Directors of the Bob Moog Foundation, the governing body our organization. Many of you know of Dave from his early days at E-mu Systems, and his more recent work through Rossum Electro-Music, but his work extends far beyond the companies that he has created. Dave's work in SSM chip design can be heard in the Prophet 5, Korg Polysix, Korg Mono/Poly, Fairlight II, PPG Wave 2, and many others. He also invented the polyphonic synthesizer keyboard.
Dave brings with him a wealth of creative and business expertise that will help drive the work of the Bob Moog Foundation forward. You can read more HERE."
"Today, we're looking at the original Proteus sound module by E-mu, released in 1989. These were immensely successful back in the day and this one started it all, and so I decided to have a poke around the Proteus' patches to see which ones tickled my fancy.
Again, my thanks to Jon for lending me the Proteus.
If you have any stories about the Proteus, I'd love to hear them. Feel free to leave a comment or email me using the address in my channel description.
I appreciate my playing isn't maestro level, I'm no Doctor Mix unfortunately!! Expect more coming soon :)
The dry-signal version of this video is coming soon!
