"Installation No# 2.

No drumpattern switching here.
Basic drums by simmons SDS5 through a yusynth wavefolder.
MFB Step Seq Clock gets into a yusynth clockdivider which drives the upper baby10.
This one drives the lower baby10. The lower Baby ten switches some vca´s to control three different tracks: Beat, filtered noise and basic FM percussion.
In addition some other "events" are used to bring in a little more variation.
Sequence-switched S&H and CV-offsets for example.
Please excuse the harsh gate popping.
I´ve got another adsr and a dual slew limiter in my pipeline, but they are not ready yet.

Casio CZ-1000 Phase Distortion Synthesizer - List of Preset Patches

via this auction

"Made in 1985, this is a Casio CZ-1000. It was Casio's answer to the Yamaha DX series synths. This is the full-sized 49-key version of a Casio CZ-101. It has the same phase distortion synthesis engine the CZ-101 does. This one's in better-than-average condition with only minimal wear. All of the keys and buttons work. The membranes over the switches are all intact. (This is unusual for a 25-year-old synth.) All 32 of the internal presets work. I'm including a CD-ROM disk that contains the manual and additional patches. The patches can be loaded into it from your computer via a MIDI cable. This is an excellent lead synth for dance or techno music.

Specifications

* Polyphony - 8 notes (8 oscillators)
* Oscillators - Digital Phase Distortion Synthesis (sine, saw, square, pulse, resonance, double-sine, saw-pulse)
* #Instruments - 4 part multitimbral
* DCW - 8-stage envelope generators with level and rate controls with Key Follow (Adjusts Phase Angle)
* DCA - 8-stage envelope generators with level and rate controls with Key Follow (Adjusts Volume)
* Keyboard - 49 keys
* Memory - 16 preset, 16 internal and 16 cartridge patches
* Control - YES (MIDI In, MIDI Out)
* Date Produced - 1985

Vintage Korg PolySix Analog Synthesizer w/MIDI

via this auction

"This Korg Polysix (Poly Six) comes from a smoke free studio environment, at Innermuze Studios of Metro-Detroit.

The Polysix (P6) for sale is in excellent condition and comes with MIDI from the Canadian company MIDITEC!

This Polysix has been modified (modded) so that the internal battery is not located on the KLM-367 board as originally designed. If researched, one will find that this original location caused corrosion on the main section of the data controlling of the keyboard itself. There was some signs of corrosion in this area but all has been cleaned and tested, and any necessary jumpers have been soldered in place to ensure proper functionality. And for those who may be asking, yes, this is a brand new battery that has been installed. You can see in the pics where the battery is mounted to its own circuit board below the keyboard assembly near the mod wheels.

This MIDI modification was installed some time before I even received the keyboard. However, all works as it should with the MIDI In, Out, and Thru.

The best part of the MIDI modification is the MIDI Thru port. Many MIDI kits that I have come across will only have MIDI In, with an occassional few that have an Out as well. This one has a Thru which allows you to daisy chain instead of having the Polysix as a final unit.

I am not entirely sure of what MIDI functions are available with this particular kit since I have not had much luck finding out enough information on MIDITEC other than that they were of the few MIDI kit producers for the Polysix in the earlier years.

I have had this Polysix hooked up via MIDI with my Akai MPC-2000 and used it primarily for note sequencing as I tweaked the controls myself for filtering and other effects.

One factor of the MIDITEC MIDI kit that is worth mentioning is that it doesn't allow the Appregiation section, Hold, or Chord Memory to function as originally designed. I never had a problem with this though since I used it mainly with my MPC2000 as stated earlier or even with my Sequential Circuits Prophet 600 that has a built in Appregiator." inside a polysix
