"Short vid demonstrating my Roland D50 and some custom sounds made by me. Jean Michel Jarre used Roland D50 on Revolutions album. You can hear it everywhere - just like Elka Synthex on Rendez Vous. What can I say more... ? Wasn't practicing playing titles so be prepared for some mistakes :D"

Three shots via Alphacode on this VSE thread.

"Just finished after almost 3 weeks my Jen Sx 1000 restoration project .Took me some time but i'm not expert in this kind of jobs so ... Some modyfications were done (hence the Mk2)

Quick rewiew:

The Lfo is now Sin, Saw UP, Saw Down and heve a flashing red Led fro the speed knob. The Filter Enveloppe can control the Pw of the Pulse ,and there is a Sub osc with -1,-2, and -3 octaves settings.

I totally repainted the metal chassis and made a new grey (kinda roland Sh ) layout . i Also made new wooden panels ''ala'' korg Monopoly."
