Custom KORG Legacy MS20 Controller

Title link takes you to shots via this auction. via §ILLON§.

"This is your chance to get a unique piece of gear. It's a modified KORG MS20i USB MIDI keyboard. Originally part of KORG LEGACY COLLECTION bundle. The keyboard has been cosmetically modified in order to get a more compact and vintage looking little beast. Wooden side panels have been added, replacing the original plastic ones (which are included in package too)

It is possible to go back to the original design at any time because no hole has been drilled or metal parts bent. In less than fifteen minutes of unscrewing/screwing you're back to the original design (see last picture).

In excellent condition and of course working perfectly. Comes with patch jacks, USB cable and original parts. NO SOFTWARE INCLUDED. Keyboard should work with main virtual instruments. No driver is required to use the keyboard under Windows XP.

This is a great looking 37 velocity sensitive USB powered MIDI keyboard with 36 knobs to control your favorite software or hardware. It doesn't produce sound on its own, you need a computer and software to use it."

Realize this demo is to show just a little bit of what the Genoqs can be used for. It is not to be viewed as a piece of music. Realize what it is doing and think of the potential when using it to trigger your synths. via the comments of this post.

Update: Looks like this is actually the Prototype. To start, look at the panel graphics in relation to the pitch and mod wheels vs. the images on the DSI site, then look at the rest.

Oberheim Strummer PERF/X

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.

"The "Strummer" listens to chords played on your MIDI keyboard and plays them back to your MIDI sound source (Synthesizer or Sampler) just as they would be played from a guitar. Not only will the chord voicings be correct, but the chords can actually be "Strummed!" With the "Strummer," you can even change the speed and direction of your "Strums" just by changing the way you play your MIDI keyboard. Also, "Strummer" has the ability to distinguish the difference between chords and single notes, allowing you to send chords out on one MIDI channel (Distorted Guitar Sound for example) while your single notes are sent out on a different channel (i.e. Solo Sound). Your keyboard may have a great guitar sound, but can you play a great guitar part? Yes. The Oberheim Strummer will transform your keyboard playing into a stunning and convincing performance featuring realistic guitar articulation.

By looking at such factors as the range of the guitar, the number of notes being played, chord position, and the velocity of the performance, Strummer can transform the incoming MIDI data out into performance data emulating that of a real guitarist. Performance data may be delayed, echoed, harmonized, transposed and sent back out on multiple MIDI channels. In addition to control over strum direction and speed, the Strummer also features Chord Capture for real time single finger chords. Individual picking patterns and riffs may be assigned to a single key, for real time performance playback. You can even control the number of "strings" being strummed via keyboard velocity.

The "Strummer" includes features such as:
o MIDI Delay (Echo).
o Adjustable Delay and Decay Rates.
o Multiple MIDI Channel Output.
o Velocity Switching.
o Keyboard Splitting.
o Chord Voicing Variations.
o Arpeggiation.
o Chord Capture (Adjustable Single Finger Chords).
o Transposition of MIDI Delays (Great for MIDI Harmonizing).
o Ability to synchronize to MIDI Timing Clocks (External Sync).
o MIDI Program Change.
o Supports MIDI Sysex for storage of user defined patches."
