Yamaha CS-80 w/ The Cox Electronics CS-80 Programmer


video upload by rimela

"Multitrack recording of the Yamaha CS-80. All sounds are made with the CS-80, except drums.
Very special thanks to Jair for lending me his CS-80 and Cox Electronics CS-80 programmer. Check out the Cox Electronics upgrade: https://cox-electronics.com"

Also see YAMAHA CS-80 Ultimate Upgrade - A Dream come true...

Pic of the programmer and details on the upgrade via https://cox-electronics.com:



"Here is a summary of features provided by the upgrade:

- 3 banks of 128 free programmable performances
- 6 banks of 128 free programmable presets
- possibility of dumping performances and presets by SysEx
- MIDI sending and receiving of almost every parameter (more then 100 CC messages)
- full MIDI support of the CS-80 keyboard's polyphonic aftertouch
- special keyboard settings like octave transpose, velocity and aftertouch response
- automatic keyboard double trigger remove setting
- programmable chord memory
- foot pedal can be programmed sending CC messages (3 simultaniously)
- possibility of manually disabling a defective voice
- autotuning possibility of all 16 oscillators
- 3 extra separate global LFOs for VCO, VCF and VCA (with MIDI clock sync)
- special playmodes providing various algorithms like voice stealing, monophonic and polyphonic in unison with detune setting
- VCF and VCA envelope time can seperately be switched to 5 times the length
- very much care has been taken so the "analog feel" of the CS-80 stays authentic to original

Also extensive service needs to be performed and lots of modifications like:

- all electrolytic capacitors will be replaced since the old ones are bad (around 450)
- all sliders and switches will be professionally cleaned (around 80)
- cleaning and readjustment of the keyboard contacts
- cleaning of the polyphonic aftertouch parts
- removal of 5 old boards, to be replaced by 7 new boards. Now the very rare YM26600 and YM26700 chips are replaced by modern electronics
- around 250 additional wires, several modifications to the boards and around 70 extra capacitors are needed to make everything possible
- complete calibration of all circuit boards
- a nice programmer is included and only one connector will be mounted on the back of the CS-80

Almost every parameter of the synthesizer can be stored in memory and can receive and send MIDI data. For only a few knobs and sliders this is not possible:

- detune CHII slider
- the four touch response sliders
- the master volume knob (exp can be controlled by footcontroller and MIDI)
- foot pedal exp/expwah switches
- sustain slider (although it can be controlled on/off by footswitch and MIDI)
- the switches and knobs of the tremolo and chorus section"

Behringer UB-Xa: 64 Vintage Atmospheric Presets. Sound Demo


video upload by Anton Anru

🌅 Retro Tides is a collection of 64 atmospheric presets for the Behringer UB-Xa analog synthesizer. It includes: 13 Pads, 13 Synths, 17 Keys, 8 Strings, and 13 Textures.
Since the UB-Xa is a recreation of a vintage classic, this collection embraces its retro character—highlighting detuning, subtle noise, and analog warmth to evoke the sonic aesthetics of the 70s and 80s.

📦 Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/ub-x...

The presets are infused with nostalgic charm and are perfect for adding that vintage soul to your tracks.

📼 One of the unique features of the UB-Xa is its Atrophy profiles—emulations of various stages of vintage wear and drift. All presets and audio demos were created using the default Profile 1, but you're encouraged to explore them with other profiles to discover variations in brightness, tuning, and stereo width. This adds another layer of expression and depth to the sounds.

💎 Retro Tides offers a wide sonic palette, from dreamy pads and mellow keys to lush strings and expressive textures. Whether you're producing synthwave, ambient, cinematic, downtempo, or retro-inspired electronic music, these presets will help you capture a timeless analog feel.

🎛 Each preset is performance-ready, with velocity sensitivity and ModWheel assignments mapped for expressive control. The ModWheel introduces additional modulations — such as brightness or movement — offering creative flexibility for both studio production and live performance.

Linn Electronics LinnDrum FORAT RESTORED and full MIDI + Manual, Data Tape and more! LM2

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


via this Reverb listing

Pics of the inside below.

"This unit was originally owned by Skyline Studios, New York, NY and featured on dozens of records during the 80's and 90's.

Included is the original owners manual, original DATA Cassette tape, a copy of the cassette on CD, the Forat MIDI manual, and brand new wood end cheeks should you choose to install them for a beautiful Rosewood look (like the Yamaha DX1 Rosewood).

The LinnDrum is a digital drum machine designed by Roger Linn in the early 1980s, known for its realistic sampled drum sounds and its impact on 1980's pop music. It was a successor to the Linn LM-1, and was one of the first drum machines to use samples of real acoustic drums, rather than synthesized sounds.

Design and Functionality: The LinnDrum was designed to be a more affordable and widely available alternative to the LM-1. It featured a library of 8-bit digital samples of real drum sounds and allowed musicians to create and store their own drum patterns.

Key Features:

Sample-based sound generation: Unlike earlier drum machines that used synthesized sounds, the LinnDrum utilized samples of real acoustic drums, creating a more realistic and natural drum sound.

Sound sample changeability: The LinnDrum uses samples of real acoustic drums stored on eprom chips, these eprom chips are replaceable inside the unit giving the user the ability to buy or even make thier own and install thier own sounds/samples in the unit. Many are widely available on Reverb and elsewhere plus there are also people offering their services to custom make them for you.

Programmability: Musicians could program their own rhythms and sequences, rather than relying on pre-set patterns.

Individual outputs: Each drum sound could be routed to a separate output for further processing and mixing.

MIDI integration: Later versions and modifications of the LinnDrum included MIDI capabilities, allowing for greater control and integration with other instruments and recording equipment.

Impact on Music: The LinnDrum became a staple in 1980s pop music, appearing on countless hit records. Its realistic drum sounds and programmable features revolutionized the way music was produced and played. It's considered a landmark instrument in the history of electronic music and drum machines.

Successor to the LM-1: While the LinnDrum is sometimes mistakenly referred to as the LM-2, it was actually the successor to the Linn LM-1. The LM-1 was the first drum machine to use sampled sounds, but the LinnDrum was a more refined and better version."

Kurzweil K2000RS Rackmount Digital Workstation Sound Module W/Sampling Option

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


via this Reverb listing

Two pics of the inside below.

"Kurzweil K2000RS Rack Synthesizer w_sampling option (V3.87) – classic workstation module, Excellent condition. This unit has the latest firmware (v3.87) and is expanded with 32MB RAM for sampling at 48k. All MIDI, audio outputs, and floppy drive work perfectly. Note: The only issue is the internal FX engine is functioning with artifacts on the main outs only. (common in this run of Kurz units). This doesn’t affect the (8) direct outs and digital I/O, synthesis or sample-playback; Cosmetically, and internally, the rack unit is in fantastic shape. Comes with the original manual (which is considered the bible on how to design your own synth patches and beyond) and loads of floppy disks I've acquired along the way. The K2000RS is a legend – the piano presets are easily mistaken as the real thing considering the world of virtual pianos we have today. 16-part multitimbral, powerful V.A.S.T. synthesis."

Shibasaki MOD - Tokyo set song #6


video upload by Arman Bohn

"My synths and device can be found here:
https://distropolisgoods.com/

Song #6 from my set at Shibasaki MOD in Tokyo, April, 2025.

Droning ...

The Dirtywave M8 is playing randomized, droning chords.

The Prismatic Spray MKii is providing some heavily filtered, low end chaos via two bytebeat algorithms (one left/one right).

I'm using the Phantasmal Force Micro MIDI controller as a "keyboard" to play and hold single notes on the MT32-pi (which is running a soundfont set to a electric piano instrument).

All of this is routed through the NTS-3 for some reverb."

Shibasaki MOD - Tokyo set song #5

video upload by Arman Bohn

"My synths and device can be found here:
https://distropolisgoods.com/

Song #5 from my set at Shibasaki MOD in Tokyo, April, 2025.

A short interlude.

The Phantasmal Force is sending four generative sequences to the MT-32 pi, triggering some sound fonts. It is also sending multiple CC LFOs to the NTS-3 to modulate the delay settings - creating a warbly "underwater" feel.

The Prismatic Spray MKii is droning on a nice spiral visual.

I'm playing GREAT CONJUNCTION with the Phantasmal Force as well - using a button in NOTE MODE and turning the knob to play notes within Mixolydian/C."

KORG M1R + 2 CARDS - Original box, manuals & cables

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


via this Reverb listing

"Vintage Korg M1R in stunning cosmetic and fully working condition. This unit comes straight from the golden era of the ’90s, complete with its original box, manual, and audio/MIDI cables.

What's included :

Korg M1R
MSC-1S Card Set
Rack Ears
Original Box
Audio + MIDI Cables

Korg M1R

The Korg M1R is the rackmount version of the legendary M1 synth/workstation -- a machine that truly needs no introduction. It features Korg’s built-in AI Synthesis system, delivering full digital sound generation and processing using 4MB of PCM-based sampled and synthesized waveforms. These sounds can be shaped with analog-style editing for added flexibility. The M1R excels at producing clear acoustic instruments, rich digital tones, and punchy, buzzy techno sounds.

The M1R has been used by 808 State, Banco De Gaia, Ken Ishii, Depeche Mode, Fluke, The Cure, The Orb, The KLF, Plastikman, Bomb The Bass, Gary Numan, Robert Miles, Mike Oldfield, Kitaro, Rick Wakeman, Rod Argent, Joe Zawinul, Patrick Moraz, Pet Shop Boys, Vangelis, the Cranberries, Sin and Jellyfish.

'Variety' sound card set

The Korg MSC-1S "Variety" is the first expansion set released for the Korg M1 series in 1989. It includes two cards: the MPC-01 for program/combi data and the MSC-01 for PCM waveforms.

With this expansion, the M1 gains 100 new programs + 100 combinations, doubling the standard 50+50 offered by following expansions. The set offers a wide range of sounds including expressive orchestral strings (with aftertouch-controlled vibrato), punchy brass, mallet instruments like marimba and glockenspiel, flutes, organs, digital effects, and much more -- expertly programmed to take full advantage of the M1’s synthesis engine."
