The making of x0xb0x

YouTube via emerography. via Nusonica.

"A stop motion animation of the construction of a x0xb0x - the DIY clone of the classic Roland TB-303 Bass Line synthesizer/sequencer, which started the whole acid movement.

The open source x0xb0x is available in kit form from Ladyada
and the movie was made by /mr

Roland V-Synth XT

"Named the “Synthesizer of the Year” at the 2004 MIPA Awards,

Roland’s groundbreaking V-Synth now has a travel-friendly offspring.

The XT is a portable new V-Synth with some spectacular tricks up its sleeves —

and with enough synthesis and audio-processing power to make heads spin.

It’s fully stocked with a potent array of synthesis types, including the V-Synth’s famous Elastic Audio Synthesis engine,

plus analog-synth modeling, vocal modeling, and classic D-50 emulation.

Add to that a rich lineup of COSM® effects, external audio processing, a touch-sensitive color display,

eight universal edit knobs, and you have an instrument that redefines rack/tabletop technology.

EMS Synthi AKS

Update: The original auction link for this post was a redirect on Ebay that took you to a phishing site. If clicked through and logged into that site, change your Ebay password immediately as they most likely have your account and password!

This is the first time i have seen this on Ebay, and I've been to quite a few auctions links. Thanks goes to retrosynth for immediately catching this one. I will keep an eye out for these scams moving forward.
