Teenage Engineering OP-1 Portable Synth Sequencer


via this auction

"All synthesis types are really fun and the visual feedback for each is excellent. Another great thing I liked was recording off the built in FM radio and then chopping it up in the sampler and then sequencing those parts!!! Super fun little synth with lots of power and bang for the buck!!"

"It has a harsh/dirty digital character.
When combined with effects, this baby growls.

Hartmann Neuron Synth Replacement Hard Drive


via this auction

via the description:
"Hartmann Neuron Replacement Harddrive with OS. I have never used this drive personally, but I bought this drive new a couple years ago, specifically formatted to work for the Hartmann Neuron and replace your old dead drive. As most Neuron owners know, the harddrive on the keyboard will only last so long before it dies need replacing. I once owned two Neurons and bought this replacement drive as a precautionary, but both Neurons are now gone and I have no need for this. This drive has to be sold AS IS and untested, considering I have no way of testing it in a Neuron, but I assume it is functional; I have left it in the original box and packaging, have never opened it up and it's been in climate controlled storage ever since. It comes with the harddrive, OS and also a collection of technical notes and tips that aid in installation procedures. The drive will be shipped in an anti-static bag.

**ALSO INCLUDED - Four Neuron Joysticks, in case you ever loose or break any of your Joysticks**"

This made wonder if there's a list of compatible hard drives out there and a way to format them. Scary thought if not.

Moog Voyager XL, Roland MC505 and JEN SX1000 and Korg Radias Live


YouTube Uploaded by MrRidgebackman on Aug 8, 2011

"All music performed live into a Behringer X2442USB 24 Channel Mixer into Cubase. First live performance and featuring my Oldest Synth the JEN SX1000 (approximately 30 years old). The Voyager XL is connected via MIDI to the Roland MC505 via Midi Out to the In on the MC. JEN is a standalone and no MIDI, no memory, just Pots to twiddle. The Radias is standalone in this piece also. The Keyboard not being used is the Kawai K4 which I picked up cheap from eBay. All the Synths connected tot he Behringer Xenyx X2442USB with compression being applied to the JEN and the Radias, all but the MC Groovebox have some Echo and Reverb (Program 15 on the Mixer).

The Audio is recorded Live as is the video, except I had to manually sync the vid to the audio - Sony HD camcorder appears not to to be able to operate as an external camera. Working in iMovie is probably not the best package to try and sync video and Audio...I think I managed to get away with it...maybe. The thumbs up at the end was for my purpose. and a thank you to all for watching.

Since doing this, I have a few other options for this piece - no title as yet, but I feel it needs some catchy Vocoding to be thrown in.

The Touch panel works great on the Voyager XL and you will see me trying (in vain) moving to one side, hoping the camera picked it up...Fail.

Also - one thing to note, when playing live, the Wood on the Moog is not playable but does allow your fingers to slip off and hit that top C...if you're lucky.

Sorry for the view of my Back and an ill fitting T-Shirt. Trust me, when I do turn round, the Minimoog wins in the Beauty contest, i definitely have a face for Radio.... :-)"
