Yamaha SHS-10 - a mini FM keytar
video upload by Alfonse
"Music: 'Adventure Plank' (C) Copyright 2023 Alfonse
Download the track here: https://alfonse.bandcamp.com/track/ad...
Yamaha SHS-10 'Sholky' (1987)
This is a 2-op FM synth in the form of a mini-keytar, with pitch bend wheel and vibrato in easy reach of the left hand on the neck. It has a MIDI Out port, which allows you to use it to control other instruments.
The lead line uses voice 32 Horn, making use of the vibrato and portamento effects and the pitch bend wheel. The main drum pattern used was 03 Fusion 2. The track starts with 01 Rhythm and Blues 2, and 02 Fusion 1 is used for a fill-in at the middle and end of the final solo section.
Big thanks to @musicbroth for the loan of this keyboard. They're a fantastic community music resource in Glasgow, UK, lending instruments and running workshops with a mission to provide access to music for everyone. https://www.musicbroth.org"

Moog Liberation SN 3226C
via this auction
"Has some severe cosmetic blemishes: oxidation on fasteners, mismatched knob, loose hats on some of the sliders, no strap buttons. But everything works! Even the "fingerboard" functions.
Comes with an aftermarket power supply and cable that is much smaller than the OEM ones."

NAMM 2023 - Eon-One.net - Netherblade
video upload by
"Eric Netherland of Eon-One.Net showed us the Netherblade, a MIDI controller that has a sound engine which can run any plug-in, be it samples, physical modeling, granular, digital, or any other type of plug-in. It has a real-time pitch bend feature that can bend any note to any other note polyphonically.
Eric handbuilds each Netherblade, and there are only a few of them in existence as he mostly builds them to order. The price range is between $2,400 and $2,700, depending on the CPU and memory and whether the customer wants a painted or natural finish. The Netherblade has three interface types: keyboard, Fretboard, and a grid for triggering drums and other sounds.
Netherblade Price: 2,400 - 2,700 USD
https://eon-one.net/netherblade_page...."
The Netherblade is a unique and expressive musical instrument. Stylish, precise, fast, and fun to play. This is the first MIDI controller that can accurately bend pitch from any note to any other note on a standard keyboard, fretboard or grid layout. There is virtually no learning curve for any keyboardist or guitarist although there are infinite open doors to create new techniques. Independent per-note pitchbending is seamless and fluid with nothing in the way of sliding to any interval in any direction whilst remaining in tune. Vibrato is natural and intuitive with no need for fixed LFO modulation. The instrument allows a players character to come thru so no two performances will sound exactly alike

Pitch and articulation are separated for easier control. With the integrated XYZ pad, you can simultaneously modify 3 MIDI controllable parameters while playing and bending notes in real time. Examples: volume, timbre, harmonics, muting, effects, etc. Additional switches provide octave up/down and configurable keyswitching.

SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS PROPHET-5 REMOTE Keytar SN 000059
via this auction
Additional Tone Tweakers Listings, also on Reverb

Since this is generally sold as a collectors item, the price is for an unserviced, untested unit without the special cable you’ll need to hook it up to a prophet-5. Any decent tech could make that cable for you, though the parts are likely not cheap unless they already have the type of cable required. We have no idea whether or not it would work once hooked up - we have no reason to believe it won’t, but, at the very least, this type of keyboard mechanism always needs to be properly rebuilt (bushings replaced, bus bar and j-wires cleaned, etc) in order to work properly. We would normally do this work but need our tech to focus his limited time on more profitable items."

MOOG LIBERATION Analog Synthesizer Keytar
via this auction
Additional Tone Tweakers Listings, also on Reverb
"This unit was meticulously serviced over many hours and is now in perfect working order, unlike most. It is justifiably priced higher than lesser examples on the market.
We purchased a third party's custom power supply for this unit since it came to us without a power supply. Our tech had to spend a while modifying it as he had some safety concerns with it the way it was assembled. After putting that extra time into it (and costing us a bit more), it's now got his stamp of approval. This Liberation's a pleasure to play and sounds exactly as it should, no excuses."
