Clavioline Old Analog Synthesizer

YouTube via sirredfox00
"This is a Demonstration of my Clavioline, a rare old analog Synthesizer and some excerps of old popular recordings, where the Clavioline has been utilized:

1. Frank Chacksfield's Tunesmiths - Little Red Monkey
2. Del Shannon - Runaway
3. Demonstration of my Clavioline. It was recorded with my Mp3-Voice-Recorder - so excuse the bad sound quality! Its the pure sound of the Clavioline, its own Leslie-Sound and effects and its Tubeamp (which is also the case for the keyboard), no extern amplifier, fx, leslie etc was used!
4. Tornados - Telstar"

MAQ16 Switch Mod

YouTube via FIXED1T
"The DOEPFER MAQ16/3 Analogue Sequencer has no front panel switch and its been a constant source of hassle having to unplug its Wall-Wart power supply at the back. Also pulling cables at the back of the rack constantly unplugged it.

I could take it no longer and decided to put a power switch on the front and one which looks like it should be there. The Mod took a few hours to do (safely) but works a treat. I decided to video it from my phone.

Let me know if you need more details on how to add a switch to your unit. The music: Angels v Robots I wrote with the MAQ after making the mod.

Alisa Analog 2 OSC Mono Synthesizer

via this auction

"THE SYNTHESIZER WAS MADE IN RUSSIA IN THE EARLY 1980'S. It makes a unique rough sound which many other russian synth also seem to make. Its more like signal-generators from the sixties that synth-sound from the eighties. Yet its sound has character and depth and is definitely not in any VA-synth! I'LL INCLUDE THE ENGLISH FRONT PANEL TRANSLATION."
