Pic of the inside circuit board below.

"Rheem Kee Bass (spelled K-E-E instead of the conventional "Key") Vintage Keyboard Bass Organ/Synthesizer in excellent condition and in good working order. A cool vintage variant on the ever popular Rhodes Piano Bass, this keyboard is essentially an extended bass section from your favorite Combo Organ, with various controls to shape the sustain and tone. The Rheem Kee Bass is unique in that it was the only bass organ ever produced in the 1960s and really adds some great, tweakable low end to your keyboard setup.

If you've always counted on the bass section of your Vox Jaguar or Farfisa Compact and wished you had those features in a portable package, the Rheem is a perfect fit! With controls for Fuzz, Sustain, Percussion (note attack/decay) and Tone, you can easily dial in a sound that will sit well in a band environment. The "Bass Booster" lever is easily the coolest feature on the unit, allowing you to boost low end presence and gain with one easy control that's easy to manipulate on the fly. Perhaps most famously used in sample form for the bass on the Raveonettes entire "Lust, Lust, Lust" record, this keyboard bass is the perfect secret weapon for your keyboard stash.

All keys work as they should, respond evenly and are in tune! Under the hood, this Rheem is 100% original and has the unique distinction of having a tuning pot for each individual note if you had the wild hair to stretch tune your Kee Bass. The original power cable and cover are also included and both latches still work well. Cosmetically, this Rheem is quite clean, with some wear on the rear logo and left cheek block, but no serious wear of any kind!"

iTunes: Praxis Beats Drum Machine - Dream Engine Interactive

http://apps4idevices.com/read/praxis-...

"A Drum Machine. Difficult to give my opinion there are things that I love others less. Let's start with the ones I like the least.
There is not a real song mode, no AudioCopy / Paste feature and no Midi. These are things that I do not like or that I miss.
For the good things we have...
A rather nice editing mode allows you to play a Beat one once, twice three times up to 16 times (glitch).
Two customizable X / Y Pads (the Speed control is really cool...)
you can import a sample from DropBox, Box, Gmail and Google Drive.
(A small editor would have been nice). You can record your performances and share them. (No AudioCopy...). I like it... But... A Killer App in the future? Perhaps... I hope!"

New 2013 Vako Orchestron Disc - BRASS ENSEMBLE


Published on Aug 13, 2013 optigandotcom·16 videos

"Now taking pre-orders at http://optigan.com/shoptigan/new-opti...

A new release in our line of Vako Orchestron discs, BRASS ENSEMBLE. It's unlikely that there will be sufficient demand to do a second run of 25 of these discs, so your best bet is to buy as many of these as you need while you can!

BRASS ENSEMBLE is an entirely NEW sound for the Orchestron. It's a composite of three different trombone recordings and two different trumpet recordings, all taken from the original Optigan/Orchestron master tapes, but never used back in the day! The trombones and trumpets are an octave apart, producing a nice rich brass section sound. Please excuse my awful playing here, which is just a quick noodle to demonstrate the sound!

PLEASE NOTE: This disc WILL NOT play properly in an Optigan! They WILL play, but the sounds will NOT be mapped correctly to the keyboard- they will be mapped mostly haphazardly across the chord buttons. Please don't order this disc expecting to easily use it in an Optigan. In the future we will be porting the Orchestron sounds to the Optigan- please be patient! :)

Stay tuned for more Orchestron discs, both new and remastered titles!"

"Fashion Pack" - and a synth expedition

Published on Aug 19, 2013 organfairy·389 videos

"In the beginning of July I saw this synthesizer in the second hand pages for the equivalent of 65US$. The seller lived in the other end of the country but I decided that if it was still for sale when my summer holiday began then I would go and buy it.

Three weeks later it was still for sale and I went on the long trip up north. So this time the video is a sort of very short road movie. The synth is broken but I expect to be able to get it playing again. It could be an interesting winter project.

The music is something I made back in my tape-days. "Fashion Pack" was a hit for German singer Amanda Lear and here I play it on Yamaha HE-8 and Technics SX-C600 organs, Roland JX-8P synthesizer, and Roland CR-1000 drum machine. It was recorded on my Fostex model 80 8-channel tape recorder."
