"This is the last model of ARP Sequencer produced - it is better built and more in demand than the earlier verion with the wooden sides. This analog sequencer was designed to be used with the ARP 2600 and Odyssey but will work with most other analog synths with CV and gate inputs. Instead of entering notes from a keyboard, this sequencer gives you knobs to tweak the pitch with your fingers - all you have to do is dial up the sequence you want, with no knowledge of notes necessary. Since this sequencer outputs voltages, as long as you have the right connections on your synth, you can use it to control a lot more than just pitch. Many old synths have CV inputs for volume and filter frequency, which can also be controlled from this sequencer. This is great for people who like to tweak until they come up with something interesting. It's a much more hands on and experimental approach to making music. This sequencer is the perfect tool for recreating that early electronic music vibe, is great for making new techno loops or experimental music. It's not just limited to these styles but is best suited to them. Its an excellent piece to interface with most modular synthesizers because it has patchpoints for all of its features. It's a truly flexible and unique tool that is very different from most digital sequencers people are familiar with. It's also different from most other analog sequencers because it has more patchpoints and therefore greater flexibility. This is why the ARP sequencer is the most sought after of the analog sequencers."

"The most unique of Yamaha synths. Real powerhouse combining Formant Shaping Synthesis and FM Synthesis (16 operators, 88 algorythms). A treasure to someone who want to design own, unique sounds"

Difficult to edit via the front panel. You can find software editors out there including these and a massive iPad editor I made for use with The Missing Link for here.

autumn noise with a modified yamaha pss 100

Published on Nov 17, 2012 by pianoloft
"that yamaha pss-100 was modified by squidfanny
( http://www.youtube.com/user/squidfanny/featured ).
there is a real dirty sound, i like very much, and a lot of possibilities to change the colours of sound. the instrument seems to be a harmless one, but the hands of squidfunny turned it to a dark monster. there are no effects added, just a little bit of delay."

Casio HZ-600 Bi-Timbral Spectrum Dynamic Synthesizer check out


Published on Nov 17, 2012 by zibbybone

"The Casio HZ-600 is the 'professional' version of the HT series keyboard synthesizers. Checking out the basic features of the Casio HZ-600 synthesizer that I have for sale. All keys and buttons work properly. MIDI IN and OUT also work as demonstrated along with Roland Fantom X6. A little bit of reverb added to the Casio with help of the X6. Maybe I'll find some time to make a proper demo video before it sells."

"It works perfectly. There were 2 pots that were dirty. Because they're sealed pots, I took it to Switched On Austin and they have cleaned the 2 pots to solve that problem. They have also checked out the EML 300, it works fine, the keypad needs to be used a bit as it's a bit intermittent from lack of use.  This is the model with the rare factory pitch wheel installed. photocopy of the original brochure, operation manual, calibration procedures and schematics..."
