Some Fairlight, EMS, and Oberheim OB-X synth spotting. Moog Rogue, Solina, and Korg PE-2000 K-5 Poly Ensemble S come in later. Note what looks like a modular system at 5:37. Anyone ID it?

"This unit is currently available for sale on Reverb, Ebay and local selling websites. If the listings are up, it's still available."



via this eBay listing, also on Reverb

"Original Korg PolySix from 1981 in Very Good condition, everything working, no yellowing. Originally bought from Japan.

No MIDI upgrade. All original hardware. Every key works with no problems and every function throughout the entire unit is in good working condition.
Wood panels in good condition, natural wearing on some corners and a few nicks on the bottom but overall very good for it's age.
Metal panel on front has light scratch on the left side (pictured) and a few nicks on the edges towards the back, but overall nothing huge cosmetically. Key bed in good shape, almost mint condition. Used very lovingly for about a year, many recordings done with it.

It's very good for gritty 80's sounds, people often compare it to the Juno but I'd more so compare the sound to that of something by Sequential Circuits like the Prophet series, with a key bed that feels like a Juno, while any remaining character is completely it's own. It even gives some effects to play with that come from the turn of a knob, letting you enable Chorus, Phaser, or both while letting you change the intensity via the knob next to it.

I've included a demo of what this particular unit sounds like, playing Eyes by Clio, produced by Roberto Ferrante who also used only a Korg Polysix for the synth tracks.

Some other notable uses of this synth off the top of my head are Faces (Clio, 1985), Start Of The Breakdown (Tears for Fears, 1983), Subways Of Your Mind (FEX, 1984), Till The End Of Time/Animal In Me (Affair, 1984), Under The Ice (Topo & Roby, 1984), and just any underground European artists from the early 80s."

rare BLUE korg 707 49 key fm synthesizer w/ Memory Card

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.


via this eBay listing

"Gorgeous blue synthesizer. So cute and I hate to part with it but i've got my dream keyboard and don't have room for another. 4 operator fm synthesizer (yamaha chip) with the variable waveforms as seen in tx81z, dx100 etc. Easy to edit parameters with the slider, and there are performance sliders for both envelope times and timber. the keybed feels really nice and has aftertouch which can be routed to a handful of parameters. Selling the keyboard with the mcr-02 memory card which you can store extra patches on. A quirk of the 707 is that the memory card is for some reason required to reboot the synth if the internal backup battery dies (the battery that keeps the patches saved after power down). I put a fresh battery in recently so it shouldn't be an issue for years. I've also replaced the tact switches for the main cursor and value buttons; you rely on these heavily to edit patches and they wear out faster than the others. In terms of physical condition, there's a crack in the plastic screw hole on the back of the synth (pictured). i superglued this cracked piece into place so it's a little more sturdy. there's about 2 tiny scuffs around the perimeter but otherwise it's a beautiful bubbly vessel of periwinkle blue. there are posts on the side of the synth for a keytar strap if that's your thing."

ROAT v2 OSC for Korg NTS-1


video upload by Tweeeeeak!

"Introducing ROAT v2 Oscillator for Korg Nutekt NTS-1, adding FM, External Audio Processing, Chromatic play and Chaos for sequemces.

This Oscillator is free. Download link:

https://github.com/tweeeeeak/nts/blob...

(Follow me on X: https://x.com/tweeeeeak)

ROAT is an 8-bit experimental oscillator inspired by the Soma "Rumble of Ancient Times" synthesizer.

It includes 4 oscillators that can be triggered independently, by pressing 4 different zones of the keyboard, or recording a step sequence.

Combining oscillator activation with the different settings per oscillator (pitch, shape, LFO) and different combination algorithms, and adding randomization and chaos, gives you a wide range of sonic possibilities, from melodic to digital noise.

Settings per oscillator:

Pitch
16 different waveshapes
LFO (for pitch or amplitude) with 8 different shapes
16-step rhythmic sequence, syncable with external devices

Additional features:

3 oscillator combination diagrams with 7 different summing algorithms per node (including FM)
2 randomization algorithms
External audio processing (NTS-1 mk II only)
Chromatic play"

"This synth has recently been restored and calibrated. It is very clean but exhibits signs of its age such as wood chips and scratches. At some point additional multiple jacks were added to the panel, these could be used for other mods (such as MIDI I/O) or left as is."
