MacBeth Touch Capacitance Keyboard Update

via Ken MacBeth on Facebook

"Just a quick snap of '1 Octave' of touch capacitance keyboard test! I designed and built 1 octave yesterday to see if my idea would actually work! It does- and does it perfectly...a great relief after years of trying various types including the recent stylus stuff! This really opens things up for me!"

''Meadow'' - demo with Simmons SDSV, Jupiter-8, TR-808

Published on Sep 30, 2012 by SynthManiaDotCom

"A moody, slower demo of the Simmons SDSV, the Roland TR-808, and Roland Jupiter-8 using some classic-sounding sounds. The TR-808 drives the Simmons and the JP-8's arpeggiator, the rest is improvised in real time. The filter of the JP-8 is set at -24dB and tweaked in real time. Again, due to my main audio interface being broken, I'm using the computer's internal audio card, sorry for the floor noise."

SYNERGY I Digital Synthesizer SN 01051

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This is the first version of Digital Keyboards groundbreaking digital synthesize released in 1982. Based on Julian Colbeck's book Keyfax, only about 800 of these were ever sold. The unit has 16-voices with 2 oscillators per voice. It has 24 pre-set programs and stereo outputs.

This unit is in very good cosmetic condition inside and out for its age. All of the knobs and buttons are intact. The case has only minor nicks. The unit powers on and 3 of the LEDs on the front panel turn on. However, the system seems to be locked up as none of the buttons function and the until does not make any sound when pressing a key."
