Prophet-5 Demo Record 1978 - Just Bach

via Bitexion, via this VSE thread. BTW, he's looking for tips on how to create "the 'screaming' lead that comes in around 40 seconds and continues throughout the whole piece." If you know feel free to comment here or there.

SCOPE - Oxygene 4 live

"Un video que mezcla imagenes de SCOPE en vivo en la presentacion del 4 de Febrero del 2003 en el frontis de la Gobernacion de Cachapoal, en Rancagua Chile e imagenes de SCOPE en el Planetario de Santiago"

translated:

"A video that mixes images of SCOPE live in the presentation of on February 4, 2003 in front of the Gobernación de Cachapoal, Chile in Rancagua and images of SCOPE in the Planetarium in Santiago."

If anyone knows more about this band and the synths used, please comment. I'm fascinated this performance was in Santiago Chile.

Roland SR-JV80-05 World Expansion Board

via this auction.

I thought this etching was pretty cool. I hadn't seen it before this. If anyone knows of a better shot let me know. I couldn't find one in the first 10 pages of Google image search, so here it is.

"The World Expansion Board includes 250 waveforms and 255 patches featuring ethnic instruments from Asia, Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Africa and South America. Its loops sound totally authentic, as I'm sure many of them were recorded on location around the world. There are also some patches that mix and match world regions to create new textures. This board also utilizes the digital effects on the JV/XP/XV or whatever to augment the instruments and create completely invented textures. The pitch bend and mod wheel are set up on the single instrument patches to realistically emulate the physical properties and idiosyncrasies of the original emulated instrument. Here is a list of the waveforms and patches.

It is compatible with the JV80, JV90, JV1000; the XP30, XP50, XP60, XP80; the JV880, JV1010, JV1080, JV2080 and JD990; the XV88, XV3080, XV5080 and Fantom."
