"I wasted several years playing another people bands and working at the studios,
doing things... That is because I didn't know if I had anything to say.
I didn't know, what I was saying, I didn't know, what I was talking about...
It was me not being me, it was me writing about the things...
I felt like I didn't fill in, I was lonely and I needed to do something...
That was the older current version of me, that was me a few years ago.
Like an older version of me.
It did almost feel like a natural evolution. I wanna make a music, that feel like a music
I had to make. I have tryied to give the individual records their identity,
but I needed to kind of force my hand to make a change.
The struggle on the beggining of any product like that is to try to find what is it,
that inspires you, what feels like you own to something, that you have to pursuit,
because that is all about.
Then I realised, that actually it had a power, it resonated beyond, reflecting."

"Sonically, the ARP ODYSSEY is in the same range as the Moog Minimoog. Unlike earlier models, this version includes 1/4" outputs, XLR outputs for a more professional level of patching."

"It was just serviced to include key contacts cleaned, front panel switches cleaned, checked the power supply voltages, calibrated to A440, and tuned the oscillators."

It looks like the Korg EX label was removed as well.

"Arp 2600 grey face synthesizer, 2600P. I believe it is a V3 and has the Moog 4012 filter. It is working but could use a servicing as it has a few intermittent problems. I will be getting it serviced in a couple of weeks and might put it back up for sale at a higher price if it doesn't sell now, but thought I would offer it at a cheaper price to someone who may be up for the task.

Here are a few of the issues:

There appears to be a short somewhere in the audio chain regarding the VCF, VCA, mixer/reverb sections. These do not pass audio as they normally should; sometimes they work, sometimes they cut out (maybe just a short somewhere in there?). When patching directly from VCO's bypassing the hardwired, everything seems to work (all three VCO's and all their waveforms sound correct, ring mod works, filter works, S/h and noise works, etc).

One slider's shaft on the VCO2 pulse width is broken, though you can still use it.
Regarding cosmetics; the tolex is refinished, pretty good job and looks nice. The important part is the front panel looks near mint, graphics are all very bright and is amazingly clean. Due to these issue it is sold AS-IS. A capable tech should be able to fix it up"

Blue Korg 707 Performance FM Synthesizer Keytar

"Korg 707 digital FM synthesizer. I bought it in the late 1990's and mainly used it to trigger a hardware sampler, but I also used some of its internal sounds for recording music. It has In, Out and Thru MIDI ports, so if you have a MIDI interface, it can be used to play software instruments in a DAW.

It has 99 built-in sounds that can be tweaked with hardware controls. Not all of the sounds are great, but there are some gems, and things get really interesting when you start messing with the parameters. Additional sounds can be loaded if you get ahold of some ROM cards (people sell ROM cards for the 707 right here on eBay).

The 707 features guitar strap hooks on either side of it, so it can be used as a keytar. It's not in mint condition, there are some mars, scratches and dings, but overall it's in nice shape. With its blue color, keytar strap hooks and feel-good sounds, this is just an all-around fun instrument.

It comes with the original power supply. I do not have the manual or the original box."
