DX5 playing Propaganda "P Machinery"

YouTube via DX5 | October 24, 2010

"Just a try. Original version had a fantastic production by ZTT records, with Steve Lipson and Trevor Horn on the mixing desk, and I just only spent a few hours sampling some of my keyboards (JX8P, DW8000, etc) into the EMAX and sequecing a simple backtrack.

A wrong note can be heard at 02:50. There is not cause for concern.


Upper keyb: Emu EMAX II HD
Mid: Roland JP8000
Lower: Kurzweil PC1x

Tape Machine: Revox B77 MkII"

"If you always wanted to have one of the 200 Spirits ever made, or just looking for an extremely flexible and rare analog synth with a unique character and fat sound, this is your chance to own one.

A Moog design with routing complexity that satisfies the most demanding analog sound designers. I purchased it as an investment and to proudly own a piece of synth history, but given the current economy, I have to let it go for far below its value.

This Spirit is No. 62 (see photo for serial number). It is 100% functional, the knobs, switches, faders, pots, keys, audio and CV in- and outputs work well (all tested). The tuning stays stable...

- original power cable
- copy of user's manual with blank patch template and sample patch drawings
- copy of schematic diagram
- 5 additional CEM chips: 3340, 3340, 3350, 3360, 3360 (VCOs, dual VCF and VCAs). These are hard to find and not cheap. If anything ever needs to be replaced, it would most likely be a chip - think of them as your insurance to keep the Spirit healthy for a long time."

Cirklon FTB

"A very quick run through of scenes from a recent Cirklon song. It took me a couple of attempts before I recorded the sound OK hence it's not the smoothest performance. Apologies for the cough, seems a few of us picked that up in Berlin.

I realise that even by my standards the video is basic but I wanted to be the first to get some Cirklon tunes online. I suspect a lot will follow as people realise how cool this is."

Roland Jupiter-4 "protected in a garment bag. ready for storage."

via this pic:

"i only keep a handful of synths in the studio at the moment. the rest get swapped in and out of basement storage. i keep 'em in these garment bags to avoid any possible moisture or insect issues (tho it's pretty dry in the basement). eventually, my spare room will be finished and (hopefully) all my synths will fit in there at once."

Roland RE 101 Space Echo

"'The RE-101 replaced the earlier Roland RE-100 model and included improvements to build and quality. It was the basic model of the second range and did not include a spring reverb like the Roland RE-201. [1] Features included a new free running system that minimized noise, wow and flutter when the internal tape loop was running, this increased the tape life by 6-15 times (up to 300 hours of use).[1] Other new improvements included lower noise levels that improved the sound quality.
