Vako Orchestron and Eminent 1600 Orchestra - Radioactivity (Kraftwerk)

YouTube via dietervanmarcke | February 25, 2010 |

"Playing some snippets of Radioactivity (Kraftwerk) demonstrating the "Vocal Choir" sound of the Orchestron.
This sound is the exact sound (not a replica, it IS this sound) Kraftwerk used on Radioactivity and a small number of other songs.
As you can hear, I've got some problems with pitch stability. This is due to a worn out belt that connects the motor and the wheel that actually spins the record.
More info about the Orchestron: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchestron

The thing underneath the Orchestron is the Eminent 1600 Orchestra. This is not the intrument used by Jean-Michel Jarre (that's the 310U) thought it features the same sounds, and has a built in String Ensemble which is more or less the same than the Arp Solina String Ensemble. As you can see, I've got some problems with the contacts of the bass pedals.
It's also a pity that you can only hardly hear the sound of the bass pedals. That's because I captured this with my Nokia N900, the audio and the video...

And, sorry for the bad playing. :-)"

37 MiniMoog Testing

YouTube via 7thDanSound | January 11, 2011 |

"I just bought another vintage MiniMoog Model D and thought I'd do a video while testing that everything works. It turned out a decent walk through of quite a few of the sounds a MiniMoog can make.

I don't really know if one "needs" two MiniMoog but the price was right so I kind of had to. Also, I think there are some cool things that can be done with two Minis I suppose :) So keep an eye open for that!"

Vintage Roland Rhythm 77 TR-77 Analog Drum Machine

via this auction

"This is an extremely clean unit. It looks like it came out of a 1972 time capsule, it's so fresh. It was Roland's very first product. It really should go to the Drum Machine Hall of Fame if there is such a thing, but hey, it could be yours. And besides being remarkably well preserved for being nearly forty years old, it seems to be fully functional. Everything seems to work as it should. These are highly prized among analog drum machine fans; it's said that this is the warmest sounding of the Roland analogs..."
