ROLAND SUPER JX10 Duran Duran Ad Scan 1986

via this auction for the JX-10

"12 voices and 24 oscillators, nothing comes close to this powerful machine. Released in 1986, it features a full semi-weighted 76 keys, aftertouch, and velocity sensitivity. The same model has been used throughouly by Duran Duran, Pink Floyd, The Cure and many other notable artists"





YAMAHA DX5 Vintage Synthesizer


via this auction

"Here we have Yamaha’s flagship product of the 1980’s…the Rolls-Royce of linear synthesizers. The Yamaha DX-5 was low production run monster of a synth, stacking 2 of the industry standard Yamaha DX-7’s into one massive and beautiful machine. It was released in 1985, and came in 2 versions, the DX-5 (being sold here), and the DX-1, which is identical under the hood and in sound to the DX-5, with added wood panels, aftertouch, and illuminated grids. The quality of this synthesizer is incredible, everything from the keys, to the buttons to the sliders feels like new. The medium-weighted keys feel far better than anything I have felt today"

Roland RS-101 Analog String Synth 1975

via this auction
"This 1975 RS-101 model is exactly the same as the later 1976-77 model RS-202, except the RS202 added a switch to turn the ensemble off. As the ensemble effect is the main key to the string synth sound, you never want to turn it off, as that is what makes the classic and lush 70's/80's synth string sound, so the RS-101 delivers that dreamy sound you can get lost in."

Diy midi controller, Loop Daft Punk - Harder Better FASTEST Stronger


YouTube via Jimmy333x2
"one of the first test about midi loop.
I'm playing a midi base on cubase in a loop, it's not the same as the original one...
it's just to show recently added functions, as improved ADSR, Filters, delay...

at least my project has reached a better structure, now I can develop new features in a easier way.

New features:
startup memory control(EEPROM) just 2 blocks: 256kb , up to 1MB
Nokia(3310) display BMP images available.
more analog input enabled (3 MUX-8channel =24 IN) [it reamains just the last one to solder for 32 total IN]
Encoder enabled for menu selection.

Nowadays works:
complete menu implementation,
dual encoder
memory mapping for Sequences , BMP, Presets, other kinds of file..."

MIDI controller box (step 1)

"Underlying the project is a PIC18F452, I programmed using the CCS C compiler for PIC
Starting from a crystal oscillator and having from 10MHz internal PLL enabled (which multiplies the frequency x4) CIP process the code at a frequency of 40MHz, providing excellent uptime.
In the code I used for dynamic allocations, readings via analog MUX, management of double alphanumeric LCD display and LCD display (that of the Nokia 3310)

midibox receives the keys pressed on the keyboard via MIDI (note.on and note.off) and saves them on a buffer-based software dynamic lists.
the buffer is read and emptied at each interrupt caused by Timer1.
Meanwhile, the analog port multiplexers read and scroll through the various slider (16 hours), each of them has an associated MIDI Control Change command.
displays the values associated with each slider, the middle displays the bar charts."
