"Bells" - on Yamaha and Elka organs

YouTube via organfairy | September 14, 2010

"I use the "chimes" voice on the Yamaha organ and the "churchbell" preset on the Roland synthesizer to play the theme in this Jean Michel Jarre melody. The rest is played on the Elka X-30 while the rhythm comes from a Roland TR-626.
As you can see I also used a piece of water pipe to complete the arrangement."

VINTAGE CRUMAR NERVE CENTRE 50 RHYTHM MACHINE

via this auction

"vintage Crumar Nerve Centre 50 rhythm machine. This machine was the “cat’s meow” in its day. It has 16 different rhythms plus a few extras like auto chord with piano, guitar, and organ. It also has a bass feature, alternating or walking.

I never used this machine to its full potential. It has a 35 pin connector that was made to hook up with a special system. When I bought my Duo-Vox accordion, from a retiring musician, it came with it. Beside the 35 pin connector it has an output for a regular guitar jack which was how I used it. I tested the machine before this writing and the rhythms work fine but not having the proper hookup for the 35 pin connector I could not test the other features.

This also has a foot switch with three switches. The first starts the rhythm, the middle one is marked M/m, not sure what that one does, and the last is fill in. The insulation on the cable for the 35 pin connector has dry rotted and is falling off, but the wires underneath seem fine. Also the cable for the foot switch has a grommet type thing that has pulled out of the peddle body but is still there. The unit comes with a special detachable power cord."

New KORG microKEY

"KORG microKEY
USB POWERED KEYBOARD
The perfect choice for controlling your computer music software – in production or in performance
The microKEY is slim, lightweight, USB powered and compatible with all of your computer music software; use it to create your own compact and customized command center.

Product Highlights
* USB MIDI keyboard – thin, lightweight, and USB-powered
* 37 velocity-sensitive mini keys
* Comfortable and easy-to-play Natural Touch keyboard
* Octave Shift and Key Transpose features access the full MIDI note range
* Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels add expression to your performance
* Dual USB ports are ideal for adding Korg's nanoPAD or nanoKONTROL
(or other USB devices) to your setup

Natural Touch mini keyboard
The microKEY features 37 velocity-sensing mini keys, using the same Natural Touch keybed found on the Korg microKORG XL and microSTATION. This keybed has been designed with careful attention to the touch and feel. The proportions of the black keys and white "waterfall" keys have been adjusted for optimal playability, and the key touch makes it easy to play chords, glissandos, and rapid-fire phrases. The microKEY accurately conveys the dynamics of your performance to any software plug in.

Extended Range and Expression
The Octave Shift buttons extend the range of the microKEY by four octaves in either direction – up or down. The Key Transpose allows you to play in any key instantly. Used together, these two features provide access to the entire MIDI note range. For adding tasty expression to your performance, the microKEY is also equipped with both a Pitch Bend wheel and a Modulation wheel.

USB versatility
Your new microKEY serves double-duty as a USB hub. The two USB ports (Type A) allow you to expand your custom control center by adding on a Korg nanoPAD or nanoKONTROL – or any other USB device!

Free Editing Software
Download the free "KORG KONTROL Editor" and customize the microKEY for your production or performance system. Using the editor software, you can set the keyboard to respond to one of eight distinct velocity curves, or set a fixed velocity value. In addition, the range of the modulation wheel can be customized by setting minimum and maximum control change values.
*KORG KONTROL Editor can be downloaded from the Support section of the Korg website."
