Autographed Dave Smith Poly Evolver Synthesizer #0030

via this auction

"It was personally signed by Dave Smith to promote the debut of the Poly Evolver Keyboard at the 2005 AudioMIDI Synth Legends event that also showcased appearances by Bob Moog and Tom Oberheim, an event now regarded as a historic meeting of the minds of synthesizer greats."

"Dave Smith autographed this PEK on the rear by the serial number sticker, which clearly shows that this unit was one of the first batch ever made in 2005. AudioMIDI arranged for this unit to be on-hand with Dave Smith at their special 2005 event as part of debuting the PEK to the music public. Since that day, the PEK has gone on to win numerous industry awards and is widely regarded as the instrument that re-established Dave Smith as a continuing force behind innovating synthesizer design some 30+ years after he invented the legendary Prophet-5."

Korg iMS20 controlled by Korg Legacy MS20 hardware

"If you have a old Korg Legacy MS20 USB controller in a cupboard then dig it out and dust it off because it works as a 1-1 controller with the Korg iMS20 iPad app - no joke.

Even patching with physical cables on the controller is mirrored on the iMS20 app.

Caveats:
naturally you need the Apple USB iPad adaptor but you also have to connect the MS20 controller via a powered hub. Not all powered hubs seem to work with this combo so try a few.

Please don't ask me where to get the MS20 controllers from, they went out of production about 5 years ago.

Fun with SK-5

YouTube via ISOTROPOSPHERE | February 14, 2011 |

"This is a circuit bent Casio SK-5 by Tablebeast, my first bought bent item, seven years ago now. The intro tinklings come from a Casio VZ-1 on the guitarsichord patch. I think it sounds like a Rhodes, aka John Paul Jones. Korg Koass pad looping a modular sound, reminds me of Trey from Phish loop he uses.

All other sounds from the Casio SK-5, sorry that my stupid mixer settings muddied up the wonderful low tones generated by the SK-5 in bend mode play. :-("
