"As promised, here's another video of the new prototype that's been under development. A few slight changes have been made since the last video, but nothing major.

I recorded a simple guitar loop using the empress super delay and fed it through the prototype. No other effects were used.

I tried to show more of the subtle capabilities of the unit this time, but I can't help but crank the ratchety and bubbly stuff from time to time.

This prototype is nearing the final stages of development, and a few beta units will soon be sent out to a few friend for some abuse. Production units will be available sometime early next year.

Thanks again for watching!"

Rare Yamaha VL-1 Acoustic Modelling Synth

via this auction
"This is a rare beast indeed - the TOP OF THE LINE Yamaha's 90's new and revolutionary synthesizer designs. Introduced in 1997, the VL1 had two sound elements - the revolution lay in the way the sound patches are created: They are built in a way akin to the creation of sound in wind instruments - different from pre-definied, limiting, and artifically-sounding modern virtual analog romplers...

=====================================================
Yamaha still has a product page for the rack version - but does not seem to show off their best keyboard - so this is combined form their VL1m and VL7 product pages:

Lunetta demo

"My first real lunetta. The case is an old PA amp. Top left is a 4093: 4 gates and 4 oscillator outputs. Below that is a 40106 with 4 oscillators with different ranges. Next along is a 4040 with an input and the first 3 outputs (1/2, 1/4, 1/8), then the 8 green knobs are for a 4051-based tone sequencer. Beneath them are 2 XNORs. Then on the right is a 4069 filter with just the LP output and a 4-input mixer.

"Eight oscillators, an on-button and a pitch knob for each. First you adjust the pitch of each oscillator so they're vaguely in tune with each other. Then you flick on the sequencer. Then you play polyphonic chiptunes.
