1985 Yamaha DX-5

"Here is the Yamaha DX-5. It is one part of the holy trinity of FM Synthesis: The DX1, DX5 and DX7. If you found this auction then you may know the superb and expensive sounds the DX-1 and DX-5 can produce. If you owned one in 1985 you were either a pro or a novice with tons of money to burn. The DX-5 is basically a DX-1 streamlined a bit. I use the word streamlined lightly because this keyboard is massive. The quality of construction and sound is undeniable. If you turned on Top of the Pops or MTV during the mid 80's you were likely to see a DX-5 being used by bands like the Pet Shop Boys or New Order (bass line to "Bizarre Love Triangle")."

"This is a live jam through the notes of amazing "somewhat you need" by Italcimenti. My computer controls all the sequencies, the bass is from my Minimoog Voyager, the lead melody and the noises are from my Roland Juno 60. The drums 808 style from Logic Studio's Ultrabeat, I play live also a little part on a Boss Dr 220 E, that I normally use to trigger my Roland Juno 60 (having a lot of fun , too!). I've recorded video with a webcam, for the audio I've recorded live, and then I added some additional sequence like some sweps noises made with Juno 60 and some percussions from the Dr 220E."

"I made a device that syncs 2 copies of Nanoloop 2 to a MIDI clock device (in this case Ableton Live). The device also supports duplet / triplet mode - as demonstrated in this video. http://little-scale.blogspot.com/"
