via Don Philippo of Heimatkapelle die Darmstädter Hübsch:

"My good friend Reinier Borst introduced me to the beauty of this Russian vintage
synth a few weeks ago. I've been planning to have my beloved AX7 customized for quite a while, but I could never come up with a proper theme until I ran into this Polivoks video.

Although the Soviets had keytars such as the Junost-21, I found the overall design of the Polivoks way more appealing.

To get an idea of what my pimped AX7 would look like, I did some Babelfishing and Photoshopping to come up with the 1982-Soviet-collage. Like the real Polivoks, I want all the print on the casing to be in Russian. At the moment I am getting in touch with some Russian fellow Roland Clan members to help me out translating all the text bits on my AX7's case (link, huge jpeg alert) into proper Russian, since I found out online translation services don't know diddley about keytars.

As for me: My name Don Philippo and I'm in a band called Heimatkapelle die Darmstädter Hübsch (see http://www.hubsch.nl or http://picasaweb.google.com/dphilippo if you don't speak Dutch). The guy who is gonna help me do the makeover is Ernst Fliek. He will (have one of his guys) do the paint job. Some kind of matte black would be nice, but we have to pick a color true to the original Polivoks yet. After that we will try and fit my Kenton Midistream wireless MIDI transmitter unit into the empty spaces inside the AX7 and connect it to the AX7's battery unit. Ernst's decal guy will then turn my AI-files into proper lettering, apply it tho the AX7's body and give it a heavy duty transparent coating.

The project is planned for this summer, although funding issues might push the project towards Christmas;-). I'll let you know of any progress."

It's come to my attention that the YouTube videos are not working for some in Safari and Firefox hangs. It turns out this is due to some compatibility issues with Flash. If you update Flash to the latest version it should take care of it. Thanks goes to Ron for finding the solution to this one.

Yamaha DX5

Click here for shots via this auction.

Details:

"This is an extremely rare Yamaha DX-5 Synthesizer. It has two DX-7 engines which when mixed together add up to a much thicker, warmer and diverse sound than a single DX-7 unit. If you are a fan of the DX-7 sound, you will absolutely love the extra sonic possibilities of having two mixable/detunable engines to play simultaneously. Its much like the difference between having a single oscillator vs dual oscillator synth. The keyboard is 76 keys, semi-weighted, with velocity and aftertouch sensitivity and good midi spec. It looks, feels and sounds beautiful..

There are balanced XLR and jack outputs for each engine or a mix of the two. Midi in/out/thru, and extemal control of Volume, sustain, portamento and modulation. The power supply is switchable between 110-120V and 230-240V which makes it usable pretty much anywhere in the world. It has been thoroughly tested and everything is working perfectly.

This unit is in as close to mint condition as it gets for a 20+ year old instrument. It is basically flawless, it has a very smooth shiny coat, none of the usual wear marks from finger contact or sunlight exposure. It comes with its original box, original manuals, sustain pedal and two DX programming books. Also included are two very hard to find DX-1/DX-5 ROM cartriges."

Bass Guitar, Drums and Teisco 110f. That's one hell of a good sounding synth to me.
Anyone know if these tracks indeed only featured the Teisco?

SYNTECNO TeeBee MARK III

Title link takes you to shots via this auction.

Details:
"The Syntecno TeeBee is a bonafide 303 ACID emulator with some tricks up its own sleeve! At first glance you'll notice it has many of the same controls as the original TB-303 - Tuning, Cutoff, Resonance, Env Mod, Decay. It has square and sawtooth waveforms like the 303, and adds a ring modulator and external audio input. There's no Accent but this synth has MIDI with velocity sensitivity (there's your accent). Although it has a sequencer, it is very simple and hidden. Therefore, there is no cool 303 slide effect. However, slide effects can be controlled through MIDI, as well as every other editable parameter using MIDI SysEx commands!
As a 303 emulator it sounds pretty darn good. However, it costs almost as much as the real deal. The Syntecno TeeBee has MIDI in/out, Roland Din Sync and CV / Gate in/out as well as an external audio input making a creative tool in your studio for emulating 303's, filtering external audio such as drum loops or voice, and controlling older synths using CV / Gate."
