Yamaha TX816 with MV-802 Mixer

via this auction

"This is a rare opportunity to purchase a mint condition TX816 and matching MV-802 mixer with custom cables.

Features:
* This is the full package, and it would be a shame to part it out, so all components go together.
* 8 TF-1 modules, all functional, all with battery voltages above 3V (3.3, 3.4, 3.2, 3.5, 3.5, 3.3, 3.4, 3.4).
* The MV-802 is really meant for the TX816. It usually sits right on top of the unit, and has 8 inputs. The 8 modules are usually panned proportionally from L to R, creating a wall of sound.
* 8 high-quality custom Mogami cables from Psyonic (almost $200 here alone). Qty. 4 at 17" length, and Qty. 4 at 20" length. This keeps the TX816 and MV-802 assembly very tight as the cables are just long enough and no longer."

KORG Monotron Song - Tiger Dance

YouTube via audibleobsession | October 28, 2010

"A simple KORG Monotron groove. All sounds are played with the KORG Monotron Analogue Synthesizer. Additional drums from NI Battery 3 (Preset "Dragon Kit") and convolution reverb from NI Reflektor. Compression and EQ from UAD 1176LN, Helios Type 69 EQ, and Ableton Live's 8-Band (mostly for LPF to get rid of that notorious hum that plagues the Monotron). Line-in recording into my trusty M-Audio Firewire Solo. That's it!

Dancing girls are public domain videos found on archive.org.

Apologies if the bassline and groove get repetitive, really just a quick tune trying to show the kind of badass basslines and leads you can get from the Monotron. It really shines when you get some nice PWM going and push that MS20 filter hard. The LFO self oscillates nicely too. Overall, the best $60 bucks I've ever spent. Looking forward to moding it now."
