Koma Kommander Audio Demo by ShortSleeves
"First try of my new Koma Kommander. CV 1 is controlling Moog's Ring Mod's frequency (carrier out in to the mixer), CV 2 is controlling Moog's Freqbox's frequency. Moog cp-251, Moog mf-105, and spring reverb are also involved. Delay from ableton. Thought you might find it interesting"

"The Juno 60 is a six voice polyphonic dual-oscillator synthesizer with a punchy, warm sound that's great for leads, strings and pads. The simple, well laid out control panel allows you to produce a broad range of great analogue sounds quickly and easily.
With the addition of the Minerva Midi kit, a great synth becomes a real world beater. The Midi kit has been professionally installed by the techs at Audiocircus.
Minerva features:
- Full MIDI cc control over all programmable sliders and switches
- MIDI control for pitch bend and arpeggio rate
- Flexible extra LFO, routable to several parameters
- Velocity assignable to VCA or VCF
- Additional dedicated mono ADSR for the VCF
- Memory upgrade to 80 patches
- Patch dump and controller snapshot for easy sound management"

"No need to hype this one; it truly is the pinnacle of mono-synth engineering. Its screaming leads, punchy bass, and squealing resonance are matched tonally only by the Minimoog Model D, yet it dwarfs its rival in features, routing flexibility, and tuning stability. With dual oscillators, lowpass and highpass filters, a comprehensive sample and hold section, a pair of envelopes, frequency and ring modulation functionality, pink and white noise, expansive CV in/out, external audio processing, and comprehensive routing of ADSR, AR, S&H, and LFO sections to both the filter and oscillators, it takes much of the functionality of a modular synth and packs it into a remarkably efficient and user friendly framework. Simply put, this is one brilliant synth!
This one has just been serviced and is fully functional. All sliders and switches have been cleaned, deoxidized, and freshly lubricated. A handful of sliders with dodgy tracks were replaced with high quality synthrestore.co.uk replacements, and all sliders have been fitted with new caps. The keyboard functions well; all notes trigger accurately and the bar has been cleaned and deoxidized. The keys have been leveled since the pictures below were taken. They're not perfectly level, but the middle two keys that are high in the photo are now much closer inline with the others. All functions on the Odyssey were calibrated less than a month ago and are at spec. It is clean, quiet, stable, and trouble free. Cosmetically it is about what you would expect given its age. It has been used but not abused, and for the past few years been well kept and maintained in a private studio. The leather (faux leather?) sides show some staining and wear. The paint is somewhat faded and shows a few scratches. The bottom, of course, is marked and scratched from stands. On the whole, however, it is a very nice looking keyboard. Please refer to the many images below for specifics.
One item of note: On the bottom of each key is a rubber guide holding two wires. They slide easily onto a little post sticking out of the bottom of each key. When a key is depressed, these wires touch a metal bar and trigger a note. During shipping it is possible that one or more of these guides might slide down, or even off of the key, resulting in either the key not triggering or the wires touching the bar and sounding a steady note. All that needs to be done is to press the little rubber guide back onto its post on the bottom of the key, and check that the wires are on the right side of the bars. Arp provided an access panel for just this purpose, so you don't even have to otherwise open the keyboard. It is a very, very simple thing to correct, and likelier than not, won't even happen. But on the off chance it does, IT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AS A REASON FOR RETURNING THE ITEM. It does not represent actual damage to the keyboard; it's simply something that infrequently happens when transporting this model synth... "
