Korg Mono/Poly with Hardwood Maple Case

via this auction

"Customized and Fully Restored

All electrolytic capacitors replaced on all circuit boards
Key contacts, tactile button, and switches cleaned and restored
Key contacts raised 1mm for excellent sensitivity and improved action
All new custom solid hardwood maple case
Fully tuned and calibrated
All circuits and systems are 100% functional and sound great!

This Korg Mono/Poly has been fully restored to its original condition and beyond! On the outside, the original particle board and veneer case has been replaced with a solid hardwood maple case. Cosmetically, this Mono/Poly is even better looking than a standard stock model in excellent condition.

Korg used low quality electrolytic capacitors that have a high failure rate after 20 years. Most Mono/Polys still have these original capacitors and they are very likely to cause problems like instability and failed systems. We’ve replaced all 57 electrolytic capacitors in the synth to guarantee that this one won’t see problems for a long time.

Another common problem with this model is that the key contacts lose their conductivity, which causes keys to stop triggering. All the key contacts have been cleaned and restored to full sensitivity. The key action has also been modified to improve the feel and sensitivity by raising the key contacts 1mm."

via this auction

via the seller: "extremely valuable and rare item from my collection, a drum machine/sampler made by Korg and used by the band Skinny Puppy in the studio and to the best of my knowledge, also on stage. I purchased this gem directly from the band and my buddy at the time autographed it for me. So it is autographed by none other than Electronic Music Pioneer, Mr. cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy, Download, Doubting Thomas, etc, etc... The writing on the unit says, "To Raven With Love" "Cevin Key" and has the year "2001" signed on it...

The Korg DDD-1 was a monumental drum synth in it's day and is still highly regarded for it's sounds and sequencer. This particular unit has the sampler option built into it as well as two add-on cards: The DDC-E03 Snare Drum 1 and the DDC-D01 Cymbal cards. This machine not only sounds good, but it has had two owners, me being the second, so it is in extremely good condition. It is certain to provide years of drum programming for you and makes a great centerpiece in a studio."

YouTube Uploaded by squidfanny on Aug 27, 2011

"Omnichord Synthesizer, well circuit bent with loads of useful modifications and wicked touch points.

Analog Drums and Rhythms have new controls for tweeking and combining the preset rhythms. Also have touch points which allow the drums to be triggered by fingers.....

LFO Circuit allows trippy vibrato & pitch modulation.

Lots of shiny metal touch points.

Wicked glitch....

Flashing lights indicate drums, chord & bass."

"A sequence with the partition editor NoteAbility Pro (Mac) and read with the Buchla 200e. The objective is to control the Buchla 200e as a solo instrument with pizzicato, the staccato, legato of. Both channels are set Poly mode and two in mono. The busses of the 225e E, F, G, H, are affected by pitch, velocity and note on the 222e being put to use for touch control. Concerning the 28e (quad function generator), the quadrature mode (none, AB, CD, overall) to select four different types of sequences and touch controls.
PS: I used an old midi sequence made ​​with the very late IPS (Interactive Phrase Synthesizer) in Cubase.
