"Emu's legendary Sp12 Turbo slightly second only to the SP1200. Freshly back from a complete check up and minor tune-up and new battery from Bruce Forat, this is one of the cleanest units we have ever seen. We all know that legendary 12bit crunch from our favorite Daft Punk records and classic hip hop records. No plug-ins have yet to emulate the real thing, so don't miss out on this incredible tool for your classic house and hip-hop tracks.
"If you are a music professional then you most likely know about this Drum Machine and Sequencer.

There is a low noise coming from the audio out but its not too bad when its being played."
"Sequential Circuit Prophet 5 Rev 3 Just Serviced 4 months ago by Bruce Forat (FORAT ELECTRONICS) but it never has chance to gig. All the following repaired performed for the prophet 5 serial# 1709 was written on paper by Mr. Bruce Forat himself on pictures.
"YAMAHA DX7 CLASSIC SYNTHESIZER/KEYBOARD AND ULTRA-RARE, EXTREMELY PRACTICAL FORAT MSM 2000 (MODULAR SYSTEM MEMORY, $350 VALUE WITH INCLUDED ADAPTOR)
You already may know what a legendary keyboard DX7 is, with its own individual sound (with some harmonics in it that are not reproduced by a modern computer workstations imitations). Also included is a fantastic Modular System Memory by Forat. In our opinion, this is best standalone sound memory cartridge ever created. Unlike some expansion boards by other companies, the Forat combines a standard DX7 card behavior and convenience with its innovative on-board computer approach and there are no additional electrical changes required for DX7 or its firmware to use it. It permanently stores 64 standard DX7 sound banks (64*32=2048 sounds total!) and allows you to freely switch/rotate between them with additional ease-thanks to a big internal display. Best of all, it comes already preloaded with a wide variety of sounds for you to get started instantly. If you will ever want to load your own DX7 banks, simply select bank number to erase/format, then press write button (its lamp will light up) and perform a standard DX bank store-to-card operation. The lamp will go dim and your soundbank will be found under the same number (with this mega-card you can freely disconnect it as you would any standard Yamaha card and for example, connect it to another DX7 if desired)."
"Original Vintage Linn Drum with vintage forat Midi board. Great condition, very clean. It has some minor cosmetic blemishes associated with the normal use of a vintage instrument. A few chips in the oak end-caps. Very good overall condition. The sliders and pots are very smooth.
