"i-MX1 is a MIDI interface cable which enables iPad / iPhone to be connected to any MIDI instrument. There is no difficult setup, simply connect i-MX1 between iPad / iPhone and a MIDI instrument such as synthesizer, electronic drum kit, digital piano before launching the Apps from your iPad / iPhone. You can play and control the Apps sound using the real interface of instrument. There are also dedicated applications for Yamaha synthesizers which will expand the functions of your instrument. The Faders & XY Pad MIDI Control application controls your synthesizer’s sounds by sending MIDI control change messages from the iPad. Keyboard Arp & Drum Pad is an application that transmits notes to the synthesizer. All the applications from Yamaha will increase the joy of playing instruments by combining the unique interface of you iPad / iPhone.

Dedicated applications from Yamaha offer new ways to play instruments.
For those who have i-MX1 and Yamaha synthesizers, there are lots of applications that will expand the functions of your instrument. Each App can be easily used just by connecting the instrument and iPad / iPhone with i-MX1 cable. You can edit the sound of Motif XF or MOX using the large display of iPad. Also the additional functions such as drum pad or arpeggiater can be easily added to your synthesizers.

Play your instruments with the Core MIDI compliant Apps.
Your MIDI instruments will be expanded with all the Core MIDI compliant Apps on the market. For example, you can practice the piano songs using a digital piano and Notation App, record your drum pattern using an electronic drum kit and music production apps, or play a variety of sounds using synthesizers and virtual instrument apps. All these combinations can be realized in many ways by using i-MX1 and instruments."

Gotharman Demoon 24 bit Synthesizer

via this auction

"This is a very unique and fun synthesizer with a few features not found on any other synths, such as a note randomizer, granular effect, and 4 multimode filters which may be individually panned. In addition, they are no longer produced. I am only selling it because I am moving and need the cash. Please note that although the case says "Anamono," Flemming has sent me the correct decals. I have never bothered to put them on, but they will be included... http://www.gotharman.dk/deMOON_Details.htm"

DKI Synergy

YouTube Uploaded by jbfairlight on Nov 12, 2011

"The Digital Keyboards, Inc Synergy synthesizer was manufactured from 1982 to 1985.

It is estimated that probably less than 100 (of the 700-800 serie I, II and II+ originally made) are still in operation.

A lot of exposure to the Synergy has taken place, perhaps before you even heard about it. As you know, the Synergy comes from a "mother" system called the GDS (General Development System).

It is a pretty rare instrument and I've found it to be a very expressive instrument for having only very limited control over the individual tones.

The sounds played here are the ones stored in the internal memory (preset 20).

The Synergy has 32 digital oscillators that are allocated to notes as they are played; voices which use more oscillators per note have less polyphony. Each oscillator can play a sine or a triangle wave. The Synergy is primarily known as an additive synthesizer, but you can also do FM on it (although to avoid ticking off Yamaha, Digital Keyboards didn't make a big deal about that feature at the time.) It seems underpowered compared to later additive synths, such as the brilliant Kurzweil K150, which has a bank of 240 oscillators. Yet, the Synergy often sounds just as impressive, if not more. I think that's primarily for four reasons:

- On the Synergy, you actually specify two complete sets of rates and breakpoints for the envelopes, and the Synergy can smoothly interpolate between the two based on, for instance, velocity information. On something like the K150, the velocity has much more limited control. This is much more complex than a simple crossfade.

- On the K150, each partial can be set to non-harmonic frequencies, but each partial is then locked to that frequency. On the Synergy, each partial can have its own independent frequency envelope.

- The envelopes are quite flexible, with up to 16 stages, for both amplitude and frequency. (The Kawai K5000 had only give 5 stage envelopes.)

- Wendy Carlos went nuts on the Synergy, and spent years refining its voice library. Most of her voices only use two or three oscillators, yet they sound incredible. The fact that she tuned them all by ear - i.e. no FFTs or phase vocoders used! - is remarkable.
