Some pics of the inside.

"Very rare. Not misused. It stopped working while in use and it was working fine. It has since had a diode replaced by a qualified tech. There is a short on the board. It has not been fully investigated due to time restraints so it's been returned and left as it was. 2 switches are broken/ missing, Pedal and Tune. No slider tips. There is a spare transformer and all of the dismantled parts are present including the wooden end blocks which are in good condition. It's assumed it will work again."

"PHYSICAL CONDITION: Fair - The "Tone" toggle switch is missing, but the internal switch function works by using a pen-like object. The unit is missing 3 of it's 16 screws and 1 of it's rubber feet. It's also missing 4 of it's 28 colored tips for the sliders. Someone has used a black Sharpie to mark their settings. Both of the side wood panels are slightly loose and have a few dings, chips and scratches, overall, it's in fair condition and worthy of restoration. All internal components are intact."

Hidden Voices on the Breakaway Music Vocalizer 1000 Synthesizer Demo

Published on Aug 30, 2014 oberek92

This track appears to have been made on the Breakaway Music Vocalizer 1000 using some of it's hidden voices. According to LucyTuning:

"The Breakaway Vocalizer 1000 is a MIDI pitch-tracker, and sample player, which I had used for analysing dolphin vocalisations. Unfortunately it seems to have been marketed as a toy for karaoke fans. It is claimed to track and playback to the nearest 32nd of a semitone, and although it is now old technology, I find it fun, so here is what I have discovered about its hidden voices. (certainly not General Midi).

GM (program numbers) and sounds

Check it with your sequencer. These program numbers work with Music-X on Amiga (my old favourite) yet some sequencers may transpose the program numbers by one position: so that Piano is 0 and Rap Drum is 73 etc.
