"This is a great mono synth and was fully functioning until one day,after not playing it for 6 months or so,i turned it on and all the keys were playing the same note.this problem also seems to affect the fine tuning knob and portamento which were working before.All other functions are working as they should.These include the filter,envelope,pulse width,attack bend tone,touch control,octave shift and all the preset sounds."

JH Triple Chorus Update

via JH on AH:
"I've made an update to my Triple Chorus page. You can now see a picture of my 2nd prototype. I've also added more links to BOMs, front panel designs and building documentation from those friendly people who wanted to share them with others. Thanks again to all who bought PCBs and made that project possible!"

E-Mu Emulator for a Buck.. In a Van... Down by the River

In Portland via this Craigslist post:

"Original EMU Emulator Sampler with teh 5 1/4 Floppy Drive, and one Disc. Looking for a Best CASH Offer on this one. It powers up, but I have not tried to get it to function. It is in my car, very heavy, and I don't quite have the patience to check it out, or go about finding 5 1/4 inch discs to try it out with. I am in SE portland. But for a collector or someone with patience, this is your chance to grab a Very Rare and one of the Very First Samplers for your Museum :)"
