White JD-800 synth - Gandalf

via Dave

"Hello...

Thought y'all would get a kick out of a Flickr set from today's adventure... took the afternoon to re-assemble my trusty, 16-year-old Roland JD-800 using newly customized white body work. The board was originally grey.... "Gandalf the Grey. Yes, that was my name. Now, I'm Gandalf the White."

flickr set

Only a couple of you will know what a Roland SH-101 is, but it's a legendary '80s synth with a lot of similar hardware (sliders, etc.) to the JD. Gandalf was designed to look like a white version of that model. The design, paint, and screen work were all painstakingly done by Jeff at CustomSynth..... This bloke does truly amazing, magical things to synths. If you have any interest at all too see similar cool creations, check out his gallery.


Anyway, the JD is assembled, home, and working & looking perfectly... ready to "rokk out..."

Sequential Circuits SPLIT EIGHT Reverse Keys

images via this auction

Details translated into Googlish (anyone know how many presets you can layer/split?):
"The apparently only for the American market certain SPLIT-EIGHT is roughly coincide with the SIX-TRAK published, but offered eight votes. The votes structure is that of the comparable SIX-TRAK, also an oscillator per vote. However, it is possible for all 64 presets split and layer sounds to use as much fettere sounds feasible to make. During the multi-Trak 10 and the Six-Trak only 2 of them are available. Also it has the well-known by SCI Poly modulation. The device was quite clear only in very small quantities and was produced by me so far only once in Germany discovered a second job. Worldwide, I have no SPLIT-EIGHT keyboard with inverted. Pro voice has a VCO, a 24 dB / Oct. Low pass filter, a VCA and 2 ADSR envelopes the filter and the VCA available. All analogue. In addition, the SPLIT-EIGHT one of the LFO waveforms triangle and rectangle reproduced. The exhibition was SPLIT-EIGHT apparently only at NAMM Show 1985 in New Orleans.

Roland JX8P "Save a Prayer"

"# This proves a JX8P can sound like a Jupiter 8 (at least in this case).
The DX7 below doesn't fit really well. It was played for getting my hands busy between JX sections and so doing something more than lookiing to the flowered sofa I have on my studio.
