"Vintage S.A.I 4 channel music sequential 1970s 80s Analog Audio Music Production"
If anyone knows more about this unit, feel free to comment. It appears to be a pulse trigger sequencer or possibley a drum machine?
You can see four leds on the front left. Under and to the right you can see buttons for On, Pulse, Seq, and 1 - 4, followed by SEQ Speed, and Music Level. The back only has two 1/4" jacks and what appears to be two propietary? If anyone can ID the other two, let us know.
The number of jacks and the Music Level knob makes me question whether it's a trigger device vs. having its own sounds. If it were a trigger device you'd think there would be four 1/4" outs, so more likely some sort of rhythm machine?
If you know, let us know. Also if you know of any other products from SAi or any additional info on them let us know.
"It's a 6-hole Bibble-size ProNote 6 note from Synth Design.
I imagined Sequential Circuits Prophet - 5.
I followed an analog synthesizer feeling with wood in the body.
As an indication Side-Wood is also installed unconventionally.
We strongly protect important notes.
Wood uses agathi wood, which is also used for musical instruments.
It is a heavy feeling in appearance, but it is a light and fine material.
The notes are the size of the general Bible.
It is based on the twisted-ring notebook from LIHIT LAB.
Twisted note can be removed freely.
You can customize it to your favorite note by combining diaries and grid paper.
Everything is easy to write as it can be rotated 360 ° per cover sheet."
Roland TR-808 intro, followed by an ARP 2600. I'm guessing the 2600 is layered over a Yamaha CP70 mentioned below for the piano sounds? The 2600 does appear to come in for the synth solo at 3:04. The bass almost sounds synthetic. Soviet Space Child mentioned it sounds an awful lot like a MiniMoog. Whatever it is, it's fun stuff.

From the EP Le Piano, out April 1 on Dot Dash Records Pre order here: donnybenet.com and from bandcamp **************************************************** Directed, filmed and edited by Alex Smith Assistance: Riley McCullagh 2022 **************************************************** "It gives me great pleasure to present the first single Le Piano from my upcoming EP also titled Le Piano, coming out April 1 on Dot Dash records After a crazy period of touring, being stuck at home for the past 2 years allowed life to slow down and gift me an extended period in my home studio. After writing and releasing Mr Experience at the beginning of the coronavirus, I’d turned back to listening to a lot of instrumental music - Sakamoto, Hiroshi Yoshimura, Goblin, Kraftwerk, Vangelis, Yanni…to name a few. I indulged myself and bought a vintage Yamaha CP70 electric grand piano, as well as finally setting up my studio to record live drums - something that’s been on my mind for quite some time. It seemed too soon to be writing a new album straight after Mr Experience (an album which I can’t wait to perform for you in 2022) so I spent most of the time in my little room experimenting, skilling up, and enjoying the musical process once again without the pressures of deadlines and touring. This EP is a small taste of my world from this crazy moment in time - I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed creating it. XXX
"The case was once planned for a RE 303 .... unfortunately I'm no longer there
The 303/606 case comes from a 606 - so no 3D printing and no TT303 housing.
I painted the part white - the new owner can still paint it.
The case is complete with battery flap and screws.
There is also an Aluminum Button Panel (purchased bought outside RE303 shop) for a TB / RE 303 and a TB 303 foil [ decal ]"
Interesting rig. You'll find a picture of the back below with the TG33. This is the first post to feature the Hybrid Arts CPX computer module. Hybrid Arts also made the ADAP SOUNDTRACK SAMPLER ADAP-1. If anyone has any info on the CPX, feel to leave a comment. Curious if it's simply a computer with an editor for the TG77 and TG33, or it's own synth/sample playback module. Take a look at the back below. The Synthax RACKWare RG 124 appears to be the monitor for the system, and the Kawai MAV-8 is a midi patchbay.
It's interesting to see the TG77 and TG33 in a different enclosure.
"Fresh from the service, e. g. 3 Frequency divider and X2 suppressioncapacitor exchanged. SERIAL NR. 91 in a really great clean and fully functional condition !
This synth had four keyboard modes:
1. Strings Only
2. Strings through the Explorer low-pass filter
3. Explorer voice combined with the lower Solina keyboard (contrabass and cello)
4. Explorer voice combined with the upper Solina keyboard (viola, violin, trumpet, horn)"
Built as a kit from Watford electronics parts with the UK magazine practical wireless. Basic unit but it's pretty rare.
The exterior case is a little marked, the maker appears to have used it as a soldering iron rest 🤦🏻♀️
Would probably benefit from power and output leads / plug being rewired replaced, but it's been tested as working as far as using a pair of headphones goes with it. All the beats were heard through them and tempo/ volume change etc."

"Yes, Row Seven. An Analogue drum machine, apparently. I saw it at Synthfest in Sheffield a couple of weeks ago, but never got to investigate as the stand was always busy. They are a start-up."
"Row Seven will be showing the Beta version of their analog drum machine. The machine provides modern digital control of legacy analog percussion voice circuits."
"Up for sale is an ARP 2600 Synthesizer, early Tonus version, approx. from 1972. Completely serviced - new cases (synth and keyboard), new tolex. With CMS upgrades (audio path / filter upgrade) and extra CMS modules (another VCO plus mixer, another VCF - HighPass / LowPass - that can be used in serial or parallel to the 4012 VCF)."
"HOHNER KS 610TR that was a CASIO HT 6000 rebadged for german market [Casio SD page]
i 'm not a musician and not aware, briefly tested about it powers on and play some music
This one spotted by prophei. He downloaded the sysex for the three individual OSes for the DSI Poly Evolver Keyboard off of the DSI website. When he looked at the manufacture in the Mac OS X SysEx Librarian this is what he saw. Anyone confirm?
Update: another screen shot sent in and confirmations in the comments.
Update via wavedeforum via the comments: "The manufacturer ID is not IP that would get sold with Sequential Circuits. It is an ID issued by the MIDI Manufacturers Association. Usually a number is retired or recycled when a company ceases doing business.
Because of Dave Smith's role in getting MIDI going, he gets to keep his ID, which is 1.
It's the programs that interpret Sysex that lookup the ID and display an appropriate string that are at fault for still displaying Sequential Circuits. I would think that they should be revised to display DSI/Sequential or something similar."
also sent my way privately via Stephen via Synthwood. Pretty cool when you think of it. Dave Smith was THE man behind MIDI. SCI was first with the Prophet-600 followed by Roland with the JX-3P. I'm guessing Roland has ID #2, but I have yet to confirm this. Be sure to see the comments of this post for more.
Update via Dave Cornutt in the comments:
"Roland is not ID #2 because the IDs are divided into three groups, American, European, and Japanese. The American group starts with 1; the European group starts with 20 hex, and the Japanese group starts with 40 hex. Roland is assigned ID 41H; for reasons unknown to me Kawai was given 40H. Here's the whole original list, from "The Complete SCI MIDI", January 1984 edition (all numbers in hex):
"The LAPC combines the Roland MT-32-compatible MIDI synthesizer module Roland CM-32L with an MPU-401 interface on a single plug-in card. The sound is generated using linear arithmetic synthesis (LA), a form of sample-based synthesis supplemented with subtractive synthesis. As with other Roland plug-in cards with an MPU-401 interface, an MCB-1 is required to connect external MIDI devices. The sound is output either via cinch sockets or a jack socket. Compared to more modern sound cards, the LAPC masters the independent generation of sounds, but not the playback of wave files. However, it produced the sound for many retro games! Original packaging with description! Everything as new!"
"An extremely rare Keytek CTS-5000R vintage expander with the sounds of the CTS5000
Fully functional
Midi Trio , Stereo out (left + right/mono ) Sustain Pedal in , Headphones out .
Sounds sampled in ROM/eprom are like bass , piano , spinnet etc."
