"Here's an item dating to the earlier days of midi. The Kawai Q30 is a basic sequencer with a standard midi output. When originally marketed this unit was paired up with the classic Kawai K1 synth."

via this auction

"-one OBX synthsizer
-two "OBX Factory Patches" cassettes dated to 10/80 and 12/79
-a stack of paperwork:1979 OBX manual, 1981 OBXa manual, documentation of the mods, service receipts, and a stack of schematics/repair documents

It has some mods/upgrades that were professionally installed long ago (back when they were new and state of the art):
-JL Cooper Patch 96 memory upgrade (all patches work, some are factory, some are not)

-the "release" control for the amplifier's ADSR has been changed to a "program volume" control, giving the ability to balance different program volumes to each other
Unit has all eight voices installed!"

Vintage EMS Synthi A

via this auction
"Serviced by EMS/Robin Wood last year. Only mod done was osc. stabilization. One osc pot/dial was needing changing. I have the original that comes with sale. Robin takes his time with these, takes about 6 months to a year waiting to get serviced. He does amazing work, plays as well as any anaolg of its caliber should play. Independent waveforms on osc 1-2... This one is so clean that Robin was taken aback by it and photographed it for his records. Not only that but it's the 33rd Synthi A ever made placing it around 1970. It has the internal metal backing that only the first

ones had. And the best of the joysticks."

Radias 1984

YouTube via Rothgar777 — June 13, 2010 — "'1984' on a Korg Radias. I've always liked the sound of the Oberheim, OB-8 & OBXa and thought I'd give it a go on the Radias. This cover uses 3 custom patches to emulate the OBXa (the best I can :p, I've only had the Radias for 2 days now and still learning about it, its a deep synth). I needed both hands to play it, and without a tripod for the camera, I couldn't shoot the video while playing. If you want to learn how to play the song, there are how-to videos on youtube for 1984."
