Funky Jam ! (Yamaha MM6 / Roland D-50)
YouTube Uploaded by thiagogomestoledo on Jul 16, 2011
"A E minor improvisation using "Pattern" mode of the Yamaha MM6. The "Pattern" used was the "Acid Jazz" with splited real time "auto accompaniment".
Voices of Yamaha MM6:
Jazz Guitar
Power Grand
Vintage 74'
Roland D-50 patches:
Intro: Spacious Sweep (factory patch)
Octaved Brass 'aka' Jupiter-8
Monophonic Lead (original card patch)
"Mooged" monophonic bass (edited by me)
Sorry some mistakes, it's a little hard to play with half of keyboard 'splited'. The "themes", voices and patches, key, were chosen at the time!
Enjoy and thanks for watch!"

Spotted this one on Wolfgang Palm's (PPG) FB wall.
"Designed and engineered without compromise, thanks to years of feedback from professionals on the front line of touring and West End shows, the Xylosynth™ remains an unrivalled opportunity for mallet players to unlock the flexibility and convenience of MIDI whilst retaining the physical playing experience of an accoustic instrument.
Our revolutionary sensing and filtering technology means that the Xylosynth™ can bring the best out of your sound source with a vast dynamic range, and all with accuracy of triggering and lightning fast response time that means what you hear is exactly what you played. With the XS6, latency has now been all but illiminated, at a phenomenal 0.003 seconds or less, and speeds of 33 hits per second, per note will now be flawlessly recognised. The unique transpose pedal allows the player to shift to any key signature or switch octave in real time. Wee!
The Xylosynth’s solid hardwood keys unlock an unparalleled level of nuance and playability in any MIDI sound source. It looks, plays and feels just as a real instrument should and, thanks to intuitive hands-on control of note length and sensitivity, can gracefully adapt to your playing style. And the Xylosynth™ makes no demands for special technique - whatever your playing style or choice of mallets, the Xylosynth™ will make you forget that you are playing an electronic instrument, allowing natural glissandos and true expression..."
You might remember the Xylosynth from this Atomic Shadow video.

PPG Realizer for $25K at Big City Music
"This is the legendary PPG Realizer that we have all heard about. From my understanding, only two of these were made. This is one of those two. Please contact us if you are interested in buying this rarity."
For those not familiar with the PPG Realizer, see this post from Nov 2005. In short it was PPGs attempt to create a virtual modeling synthesizer back in 1986. If you look at the knobs you will see lines going from each to the screen. The screen would actually show an image of the synth being modelled, with virtual knobs that the lines connected to. The Minimoog was the one in all the pics. Realize this is 1986. The graphics were green and vector like. See the post linked directly above for an image.
"An impressive exhibit from PPG was the Realizer (about $50,000). This consists of software versions of familiar synthesizer configurations. It allows you to design your own analog, FM digital, and sampled sounds, patch any of the components of one instrument into another instrument, and then sequence or sample the resulting sound. Wolfgang Palm, designer of the Realizer and head of PPG Instruments, earns the the quote-of-the-show award for explaining how he designed it: 'I copied the circuit diagrams into software.' No easy task."
Was the Realizer the first software modeled hardware synth? Credit typically goes to the Yamaha VL1 (1994 - Physical Modelling), Clavia Nord Lead (1995 - Analog Modelling/VA), and Korg Prophecy (1995 - Physical & Analog Modelling). Considering the ability to mix and match components, modern day hardware equivalents would be Arturia's Origin and John Bowen's Solaris. As for ability for the display and controls to morph into unique individual synths, the iPad would be the obvious realization of the Realizer.

Be sure to see the video link to PPG System Demo 1986 with Tom Oberheim.
Also scroll all the way down for the larger pics.
Update via Wolfgang regarding the remaining two: "as far as i remember :) there were two left in the end.
one went to Steinberg, when i started to work for them in '87
the other remained in the USA with PPG America Inc.
but where these two systems ended up...i dont know."
Update via Peter Stone on FB: "I'm glad I was able to at least get a demo of the one in the L.A. office before the office closed. That and the HDU doing some great real-time time stretching way before it's time..." Sounds like it was indeed working. See the Facebook thread for more. Here's an interesting note from Andy Thomas regarding graintable synthesis: "I was scaring people with the time-stretched intro to the 1970s hit by Supertramp called 'Logical Song' in 1986/87. Peter, you and Kevin Lamb were there! All the graininess a synthesist could resample before we termed it granular!"
