prima harmony trainer

via this auction
"This is the prima harmony trainer. It is a keyboard with 4 sounds, octave and tuning shifters, separate volume controls for each key, and is battery powered. It apparently is used to tune instruments and has an input, but I just used it to make great sounds. it has a nice sounding metronome, and definitely will make other musicians ask "what is that?" I bought it to circuit bend, but ended up making my own projects and didn't want to ruin it. I've never seen one before or since this one. I made a demo video for it.... [previously posted] which might help to explain its unique features. Best thing on it is the "hold" button, which can hold any number of keys indefinitely. Has a foldaway handle, in fantastic shape... missing battery cover. I have a power supply and its original case. Circuit bent or not, it is a unique instrument."

SQ8L - Free Virtual Ensoniq SQ80

"There IS such a thing as a Free Lunch!

Rarely has the 'you get what you pay for' concept been more wrong than in the case of the absolutely free SQ8L VST instrument from Synthmiester Siegfried Kullmann. If you would have told me 20 years ago that someday an IBM-compatible PC would be able to run a spot-on software-based clone of the SQ80, I would have said 'yeah right, and Weird Al Yankovic will have a number one album and Battlestar Galactica will be an acclaimed series.'"

You can find it here and a couple of vids that mentioned the SQ8L here and here.
via khoral where you'll find a track titled Ambrosia featuring the SQ8L.

Qusimidi Yahoo Group Update

via UniQue Werkx

"For years the Quasimidi @yahoo groups was over run with spam. Last month it got so bad there were over 500 posts of spam. So a few of us, Bob (from El Segundo, CA) , Andreas & I, got together and contacted Yahoo. The result was that we've gotten control of the group and eliminated the spammers.

The list owner, Scott S., said that when Yahoo took egroups over he lost moderating control.... but now it's back to Quasimidi gear. So those who left for that reason can rejoin if you like."
