Multivox SQ-1 Firstman

YouTube Uploaded by synthmaven on Mar 16, 2011
Firstmans on eBay - not seeing it listed at the time of this post.
"I am posting this video of a nicely preserved Multivox SQ-1 Firstman that worked very well when I bought it years ago but now all it makes are weird pitched sounds best described by recording them and making them available in this video.

Some of the lights still come on but there is no sound.

I was going to try and have it fixed but I am running out of money so it's on eBay now.

Maybe someone else can get it fixed and restore it back to its former self.

This video is not for entertainment value but to demonstrate the condition of this piece to potential buyers.

When it works this synth have a truly bad-ass Acid sound, like a TB-303. There are videos form other users on Youtube to back this up.

Those who have already owned or heard one of these know that what I am saying is true."

Sakata DPM-48 (aka Multivox) DEMOS

video uploads by synthmaven

via this listing

"Sakata DPM-48 drum machine aka Mulitvox or Jugg Box

I was getting swarmed by mosquitoes during my short demo/photoshoot so it's a bit hectic and the camera mic does not do the sound justice. TOMS 3 and 4 do not distort as it seems in the clip. They are deep and raucous, outdoing even the BASS 1/2/3. OTOH TOMS 1 and 2 are very faint. I don't know if a slider cleaning can fix this or if it needs a tech but I am selling as is and what you see and hear is what you get. The sequencer also works and you can vary the tempo via sync or the tempo knob which has a loose cover. Maybe some tinfoil of paper would get it to stay put. I switched out the video to reflect this. The original one remains on Youtube as well.

The RAM cart works because you can't program the machine without it. I pulled it out and the machine won't go into RUM mode, I put it back in and it played again.

What makes the DPM-48 interesting for contemporary production use is that there is a company in Germany that offers a MIDI cart and expanded ROM sounds kit for this machine which you can find on Youtube. The MIDI cart uses the RAM cart slot, so no alterations to the machine are needed. This allows integration into a multi-machine recording environment and the additional sounds also pass though the circuitry of the DPM-48. You sync the standard DPM-48 via the included DIN sync port in the back, if you prefer to program the machine old skool using the cart."

"I'd call it mint but it has a tiny chip over the ON OFF switch so we will say it is in excellent condition. Selling at a very competitive price because I need money for upcoming repairs. :-( The MS-10 in one of the pics and in the video is NOT included."
