Keytar Player
YouTube via blogdesorden
"Someone playing keytar in Santana Row, San Jose, Califorina. I guess it is a Roland AX-7. When I heard the music I really thought there was a guy playing guitar.

I've always wanted someone to play music just for me

full size
"Listening to you as you play for me, brings a smile to my face. I'm finally free of all this angst i kept inside. It's you and me , as great as can be. For us , together as one. There I am, day dreaming again. As I walk these streets, everyone appears to be hand-in-hand with someone they care about. What about me? Why is it the only one that holds my hand is my shadow? I've always wanted someone to play music for me Maybe the music would be what would bring us together."

Elka X-705

"This thing is pretty insane - a double manual organ with drawbars, a bunch of instrument presets, an analog drum machine, and a wonderfully cheesy monophonic synth with 11 presets.
Apparently it was made from 1977-81, and was played by Jean-Michael Jarr.

via Rebel Bass NZ

The drawbars were in the 'right' Hammond order too. Some of the Japanese organs like Kawais understandably, had them in numerical order. The major 3rd harmonic from the 5 1/3 makes quite a difference. Mellows the registration. To be honest. I've a modern Technics now, but those string/cello choruses (yellow) weren't half bad, event compared to modern digi strings. Ideal "Moon River" and "When you wish upon a star" Mantrovani sort of stuff. In a review of the time, they put the piano in the "not bad" class. There were some howlers about. But some of todays cheaper keyboards arent any better. Its a smashing bit of kit. Look after it. It was a 70s space age version of the 60s Hammond B3 complete with Jerry Anderson style flashing buttons. But its a gem. Try "Whiter shade of pale" on it, if you have the Leslie speaker cabinet working."

Sequential Circuits Prophet2002 Compare Disk to Internal Patches
YouTube via pszacharias
"A brief, no-frills video demonstrating how to compare a disk on the Sequential Circuits Prophet 2002 to internal patches. Learn more at Prophet2002.com.
TO COMPARE DISK MEMORY.
1. Check that PRESET and SAVE are on
2. Use PARAMETER VALUE to set the option to "C" (Compare entire disk against current memory)
3. Press EXECUTE
Comparing will take about 20 seconds, and, if the memory is the save on disk as in membory, you'll see "C" in the VALUE display."
"Silent night" with a robot trio
YouTube via organfairy
"The three Alpha Rex robots are synchronized to each other and the play a three-voiced version of "Silent Night" - or "Glade Jul" - or "Stille Nacht" - or "Sancta Nox" - or "Tichá Noc" while I do the background on the Technics SX-C600 organ.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday."
