Test if i can still make techno trance / dutch trance

"Good old samples and a juno 60 trance-line sounding up trance in the 90's groove but with a 2009 touch.
I pioneered dutch trance in the early and mid 90's under the name Cybermax.
Quit the trance bizz in 1998 made some Italo synthesizer disco under the name Lonestarr and produced other artists like Rozzetta in 2004."

AKAI S1000 / S1100 sampler display backlight repair by Karel Post

YouTube via karelpostthuis
"Movie about a fix for the Akai range of samplers (S1000 to 3000) that have a pale or dead LCD screen.

If you live in Holland i can fix your display for only 49 Euro's incl. tax. Send your machine to me or bring it to me, and i'll fix it instantly.
The new display backlight (from Conrad Electronics) will last approx 25000 hours, so probably 6 to 10 practical years."

Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 home made MIDI interface

YouTube via karelpostthuis
"The finished result of my home-made MIDI interface for the Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 synthesizer.
Shows the response of the interface boards and pictures of the electronics inside my Prophet 5.
It was a pain to get it working properly as the Prophet had a LOT of faulty soldering making my interface look as if it generated flaws.
After rebuilding the internal powersupply the synth worked properly and also all tuning problems disappeared, the synth now works AS NEW!

If YOU have a synth that has no MIDI, mail me maybe i can build a board for you!"

Repair work on a vintage SP12 Drum Sampler from E-MU systems by Karel Post

YouTube via karelpostthuis
"First movie of a set describing the repair of a SP12 in critical state of decay.
The unit suffers very much of corrosion caused by an unknown liquid that has entered the machine in the past.
Repair is mainly reducing the corrosion-resistance that causes functions to fail.

I hope the machine will function 100% again........"

Repairing an E-MU SP12 part 2 by Karel Post

"A detailed film about the repair and revival of the SP12. It turned out the unit had suffered a major fluid spill in the past ,oxydizing the integrated circuits and its sockets. The frontpanel of the unit had lots of rust and other oxydation as well as defective switches and LED's. The display however was fine fortunately..................

Part 1 is about the revival of the CPU part, this is the cleanup and repair of some user parts and switches."
