HEAVY ION COLLIDER


YouTube via DonGarbutt | November 04, 2010

"This instrumental piece is an exploration of the sound flexibility of the Spektrumsynth, an instrument that I built using Reaktor software. See the Spektrumsynth video and Spektrumsynth Tutorial video for a more detailed description of the instrument. I have made a couple of modifications since the making of these original videosl, if you look closely: I packed the LFOs into a pull-down menu, saving on display space by only showing one at a time, although they are all functioning simultaneously. I was able to add some modules that were available on the earlier version, but hidden on the "B" display pane. I hope that you like the music."

Health Club Boomin Analog Drum Synth


via this auction

"This is a super-cool Boomin Analog Drum made by Health Club Music.
It is based on the Roland TR-808 Bass Drum, but with much more control over the types of sounds it can make.
It can be triggered by the onboard pad or an external source like a microphone, drum pad, or any sound source.
This particular Boomin can reach self-oscillation when the decay is turned up all the way."

ROLAND JP-8000

via this auction
"Manufacturer Description
The JP-8000 Music Synthesizer has been designed using a first-of-its-kind Roland Analog Modeling sound source, combining the fat, powerful sounds associated with vintage analog synths with the flexibility of digital technology and MIDI. Like the classic Roland analog synths of the past, the JP-8000 sports a collection of 38 front-panel knobs and sliders for powerful real-time control, opening a brand new world of sonic possibilities. Innovative "Motion Control" feature memorizes all sequential slider and knob movements, ensuring that a great real-time "tweak" will not be lost. "Analog" synth functions like oscillator sync, ring modulation, -12/-24 dB filtering, cross modulation, an assignable ribbon controller and powerful pitch bend/modulation lever make the JP-8000 a very powerful synthesizer for live and studio use!"

RMI DK-20 Digital Keyboard Synthesizer


via this auction

Shots of the inside below.

"Well here's something that you don't get to see everyday! This is an extremely rare specimen of one of the actual first digital keyboards sample type machine made. This is an R.M.I. DK-20 Digital Keyboard. These came about in 1979 and were only made till 1980. So, for only one year these were made!

This machine is equipped with 4 EEPROM IC's similar to what you find in Oberhiem, 360 Systems, and Sequential Circuits instruments. These EEPROM's hold the instruments Timbre's (voices). These voices can be selected via the 4 yellow buttons located in the Timbre section. There's also a "Preset" section that includes: Tine, Clav, Lute, Jaw, Fazor, and Piano along with a variation of each one preset as well. These presets are of course, dependent upon the EEPROM chip set as well. You also have a whole set of phaser effects, three modifiers, a mixer section for each one of the Timbres, Vibrato with switches for rate, TRS control (a kind of mild ring modulator). It also comes with a mono output, and separate bass and treble outputs for stereo connection or running effects on different sides of the instrument. You can also hook up a standard sustain pedal. It also comes with very sturdy steel fold-up legs that are attached to the unit. and a cover that snaps to the top to keep it covered when not in use. There's also a simple sheet music stand.

This machine is FULLY FUNCTIONING!! 100%. Cosmetically I'd give it an 8 out of 10. There is a few scratches here and there which you can expect along with an engraving on the left side of the key-cover for a school system this once belonged to dated 1981-'82. The machine was made previous to this but this is when the school owned it. The inside is immaculate and completely free of dust."
