I recently acquired a vintage analog modular synth Roland System-100m. Here are my first minutes with it. Just a few simple (!!) sounds and sequences. No fancy keyboard playing and no weird sound effects (not yet, until I learn to program it better ;) )...

System modules used in this demonstration:
181 - 49key keyboard
112 - dual oscilator x 2
121 - dual filter
130 - dual VCA
140 - dual envelope generator & LFO

MC-4b and System-100m simple sequence

"After refurbishing my Roland MC-4b vintage digital sequencer it's time to start usnig it.
Two simple sequences combined into a simple evolving structure which maybe sounds a bit like early Tangerine Dream or perhaps like Giorgio Moroder's 70s style ?!?

The Pilgrim

YouTube via TheUmbrellaCo — May 09, 2010 — "As always with Tourister series bent SK's, The Pilgrim features an integrated UMR midi system powered by www.highlyliquid.com. Sensorheads and MaxMsp junkies rejoice! A single connection, and your on your way to interfacing the elusive world of circuit bending with any electronic or physical source imaginable! Self generating algorithms, Abelton Live sequencing, purpose built controllers! Incorporate audience interaction during live performances via sensors, touch contacts, camera tracking, metal floor tiles...the sky is not even the limit, I'm not sure where the limit is.

Also in keeping with Umbrella Company tradition, the Pilgrim has a classic nut and bolt bend patchbay to retain maximum flexibility in connections. Use anything as a switch! Not to mention the 6 on-board user assignable controls. The nut and bolt design is great for breaking out body contacts over long cable runs for remote use with versatile, inexpensive alligator clip leads.

And of course the crowd pleasing, magical, photo cell optical control of screaming distortions and envelope modulations is in attendance. Fine tunable and infinitely fun, there is nothing like the satisfaction of a classic theremin style control interface. Wave those hands proudly in the air as you morph and shift landscapes of eccentric beauty!"

TAMA TECHSTAR ELECTRONIC DRUMKIT

via this auction

"The pads are very responsive when hit with drum sticks not like the simmons drumkit back in the day. Each channel is a mini analogue synth drum module, capable of producing a wide range of electronic drum sounds, and since every parameter is defined by a knob, it's highly tweakable. There are many channels....Each drum channel has it's own Drum Pad Trigger In,and Individual. There's also stereo line in sockets (for the drummer to mix in other drum sources or monitor mix)."
