"Alternate tuning using a Q172 Quantizer Aid module from Synthesizers.com. The melody line played is through Lil' Miss Scale Oven (LMSO) from Red Barn Goat Farm into an Access Virus TI synthesizer. The three variations on the tuning are loaded into the Quantizer Aid module using midi from an instance of LMSO."

"I am a "new" synth repair/restoration/modification guy located in the Bay Area... I recently started a blog about stuff that comes through my shop, and I thought you might like to check it out. I take extensive pictures of the process I go through with each piece of gear, and post them up on my site, and I include sound files of the instruments when I have finished with the repairs."

via this auction

"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."

-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."
