"Rare 1969 Vintage Italian Electric Keyboard: Electro Trainer, Model 5000, Serial 0714, Run/Lot 1. This appears to be a super rare piece, we checked all over and could not find another example of this vintage keyboard anywhere. Truely a collectors prize, this awesome vintage keyboard shows some use as pictured. The power cord is included and can be seen coiled up and stored inside the top cover area in it's proper storage spot. We did test this unit and it worked perfectly during our testing producing clean audio output through it's onboard speaker. We have included plenty of photos so colelctors can view the item thoroughly. You can see the the internal workings in the pics as well. All keys worked fine and none appear to be broken when checked during our testing. The unit has some scuffs to the outer surfaces from normal use as pictured. Overall a fantastic rare Italian vintage 60's electronic keyboard. If you are a collector of fine vintage instruments or are looking for a uniquie vintage 60's sound then grab this Italian made keyboard while you have a chance since you will likely never find another one available. Item out of a recently closed affluent estate. (This is a heavy unit and shipping is set as such)"

Mattson Mini Modular MMM Debut @ PNW Synth DIY 2007

YouTube via redmartian.

"This is a little montage of footage shot at the PNW Synth DIY in Renton, WA. The music was composed entirely on the MMM by William Horne of inside synthesis aka williamroh."

Update via William in the comments: "I posted a much high quality version at http://insidesynthesis.com, since the YouTube compression hardly does it justice.

Only delay on the lead bits, and a highpass on the hihat were used. No chorusing, phasing, reverb, or compression/EQ, so it's overall a pretty raw sound.

I double-tracked the lead and bass parts for stereo width.

I'll make a more modern, less 80's song later. Assuming I have time - I'm only borrowing the prototype for a few days."

Thre is also a great shot of George and William in the post. Be sure to check it out.

"With two JX-8P voice boards inside, by necessity the JX-10 became Roland's first 76-key synth."
