"This was a very early synth that I'd never heard of until I saw this promo piece. A web search brought up this amazing page...which not only has a pile of data and photos, but also features a downloadable, playable emulation! Cool!"

Roland CMU-800R
"The following is from a Roland data sheet from 1983: **** The CMU-800R is a new dimension computer peripheral which allows free composing and arranging, as well as automatic performance. This unit features a host of functions, real musical instrument sound from its build-in sound source, and a wide variety of musical nuances such as slur, staccato, accent, and legato, plus an added function to control eight external synthesisers. Its is not an extention of a simple hobby computer as represented by conventional games. The CMU-800R is the very first unit to proclaim the arrival of a real computer age in the musical genre. Each computer is provided with a software package for easier programming and advanced editing functions. Now, music fans with no particular knowledge of computers or computer operators who cannot play a musical instrument can both compose and arrange at their option as well as enjoy automatic playback. **** The CMU-800R delivers its maximum performance with its separately available software package. With this software package, anybody will be able to handle the CMU-800R efficiently. The software package includes the CMU-800R

Waldorf MiniWorks 4Pole Filter
via this auction
"Without doubt, no other synthesizer component has such a decisive effect on sound quality as does the filter. All of us at Waldorf, and of course the owners of Pulse's and Pulse Plus', know all about the exceptional qualities of our analog filters. We would obviously like all musicians to have the chance to access this quality component, so we simply implemented it as a separate module. The 4-pole is our four pole cascade filter, combined with incredibly fast envelopes and a stereophonic amplifier stage. You are free to apply this filter to any audio signal that you manage to patch into the device via a 1/4" jack. So if your favourite sampler or sample player lacks that special quality, you can give it a sonic boost via the 4-pole. You can even overdrive the audio input to get distorted signals, if you like. Cutoff Frequency, Resonance, Volume and Pan may be modulated by numerous modulation sources, eg. LFO, envelopes, MIDI or the built-in envelope follower.

Waldorf 24 dB lowpass filter with variable resonance up to self-oscillation
