Roland SVC-350 Vintage Analog Vocoder SN 950922 Demo Video

via this auction
"It was recently given a clean bill of health by synth tech Ramcur.
It's in overall great condition with very little wear, please see pictures for more details and video below for a complete test.
The SVC-350 is an 80s classic! It contains similar circuitry as the equally famous VP-330. It was released as part of Roland's Rack Series which contains other processing gems like the Dimension D or Sre-555 tape echo.
11 filter bands make the SVC a clear sounding vocoder that rivals much more expensive units. Part of its magic sound is the nice ensemble sound that helps create the choir-like vocoder effect, it's especially nice in stereo.
The adjustable bands make it quite versatile and it makes a beautiful fixed filter bank when properly patched...
The unit is a 120v model made for North America. A reproduction of the manual is included."

Syncing Korg ER-1 and Kilpatrick and Serge Modular Synths
Published on Dec 19, 2013 pjoris2·122 videos
"First test of syncing the Serge and Kilpatrick synth to the Korg ER-1. Different from just taking sync or clock out but works OK. Video is just some messing around.
How does it work ? Midi out to Kilpatrick midi in. Specify note values out of the Kilpatricks midi range (below C0 or above G8 or) for internal Korg sounds and note values within that range for external audio in sounds on the ER-1. Now you can use the Audio In tracks on the ER1 sequencer to trigger the Kilpatrick and Serge."

From The Future - Live Looping with KORG MicroKORG, Kaossilator Pro & RC-505
From the Future - Improvised Electronic Dance Music #1
Published on Dec 8, 2013 Beats From The Future·7 videos
Tim of discchord sent this one my way. Drum parts are the KORG Kaossilator Pro and synth parts are the KORG MicroKORG & K Pro, further mangled by the K Pro. All of it looped on the RC-505.
Video description: "A live recording From the Future. I'm getting to know my new gear and positioning and I certainly have some work to do on making all these sounds fit in the mix but I think this is a pretty good start.
Other than hours of doing this sort of thing the only preparation for the improvisation were decisions of key, speed and instrumentation.
Made using a Korg Kaossilator Pro, a Microkorg and a Roland RC-505 loop station.
I'm From the Future and I promise it gets better.

Wild and Free - From the Future (Live Looping) - 1
Published on Nov 12, 2013
"This is the first song I ever wrote, still is largely improvisational. I'm thinking I'll try to put out a track each week. From my time machine."
This one reminds me of Beck meets Wheezer somewhen from The Future (a little Dark Tower reference).

Rhodes CHROMA ARP Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
This is the second one listed today. These are beautiful instruments and thanks to the iPad, Chromas with the CC+ upgrade can now be edited in real time with a dedicated iPad editor.
Notes on this one via the listing: "Here is a Rhodes Chroma that has recently been restored to full operation by William Santana at Santana Musical Electronics of Portland, OR. The unit was purchased from the original owner and has already been upgraded with the SPSU that is currently available for the Chroma.
))))))))PLEASE READ(((((((((
The CPU in the unit is the original design but the CC+ CPU upgrade is on order now and will be available some time in March. Once the kit is available I would be willing to ship it to the seller as it's value is included with the sale price in this auction. No further costs will be incurred by the buyer of this unit for the value of the CC+. The CC+ will be shipped as soon as is received from the manufacturer. The only thing the buyer will have to make arrangements for is for the installation of the upgrade. The CC+ along with the SPSU brings the Chroma truly into the 21st century providing an enduring stable service life for many more years to come as well as many new and valuable features provided by the CC+. Read more info about it at: rhodeschroma.com
The CC+ is essential for full CC control of all parameters and has already been used to great benefit by the designer of the
Enabler Chroma interface, and the iPad Touch OSC interface:
The woodwork is all original. Due to the typical nature of the aging Rhodes Chroma, often the end caps are found to be stained from the degraded foam that lines the flight case for the Chroma. This unit came to me with foam stains but has since been refinished and the case has been refoamed as well.
As you can see in the pics, the cosmetic condition is very clean. I have since provided bushings under the front panel screws to give it a cleaner look. The tolex is very clean as well. Overall, this unit is an excellent example of the Rhodes Chroma model.
Also included is 2 extra channel boards. Parts have been removed from both of these boards to facilitate the restoration of this Chroma. Currently, NONE of the CEM ICs are present on these boards. However, there are other parts that are specific to the Chroma including the cards themselves. Both of the extra cards are the 2nd or 3 revisions that still had to have a jumper installed at the factory. The need for this jumper was corrected by the later revisions of the channel board which are what all 8 channel boards are currently loaded in the Chroma you see here.
The sound of the unit is big, organic and very deep. The keyboard is a real, wooden 64-note velocity-sensitive dream come true. The programming features are truly unlike any other synth. The "patch" parameter gives you several different routing options between the 2 voices on each card. Some have compared this to the "Algorithm" concept found in the Yamaha DX7.
This unit comes with all of the original accessories including:
Dual sustain/sostenuto pedal (Rhodes)
Single patch advance pedal (Rhodes)
Variable voltage control pedal (Rhodes)
3 x cassette interface cables (original) 2 x 5-pin 1 x 8 pin
Programming manual
Performance Manual
Syntech MIDI interface with all documentation
Front panel interface feature chart
2 x original factory patch cassettes
The Rhodes Chroma was the last product to come from ARP. This unit was to be ARPs big push back into the very competitive synthesizer market. They were definitely onto something. There were many innovation that were developed for this machine that were way ahead of its time. Unfortunately, ARP could not hold things together to release the product to market. Phillip Dodds, who was responsible for the Chromas development and the shutting down of ARP, managed to convince CBS to take up the design along with the R&D team to release it to market under the Rhodes badge. The Rhodes Chroma saw some hi-profile use and was definitely the "players" synthesizer in its day."

Yamaha Mobile Music Sequencer - US Major Update & Sale
"What's New in Version 3.0.0
Yamaha's Mobile Music Sequencer enables composers to combine a range of phrase patterns and create musical compositions intuitively, following the flow of composition, from phrases to sections and from sections to songs.
Wherever you are, you can now sketch the outline of a composition. In addition, you can use the ingredients to delicately craft songs on a Yamaha synthesizer, or in Steinberg Cubase. First, try loading the demo song (a number of demo songs are provided). Tap on the settings icon in the top right of the screen, select [Digital Sympathy] from the Presets under the File tab, and press the Load button to read in the song.
Create a song right away as follows: Step 1-Create phrases
You can choose from a rich selection of 382 preset phrases (the phrase is the smallest unit in the structure of a composition). Under Phrase in the View screen, tap on a cell in which no setting has been made, then tap on the Select button on the left. To listen to a preset phrase, tap on its name. It is also possible to use real-time recordings made using the keyboard within an application, or user phrases which have been created using piano roll input. Using the powerful Loop Remix function, it is possible to divide selected phrases at specified intervals and then order them randomly, automatically insert rolls or breaks, and thus rework them into new phrases.
Step 2-Create sections Combine multiple phrases together to create a section. Phrases are arranged in a vertical block and playback is turned on and off using the Section button at the bottom of the screen. The phrases can be managed as a single unit.
By specifying codes for individual sections, you can easily create variations. Using the Create command you can also create a succession of new sections based on the phrase that is currently being played back, which allows production to proceed smoothly.
Step 3-Create Songs Put together complete songs by pasting together sections. This is easily accomplished by touching the Section area and then just dragging and dropping sections into the data area. Naturally, you can also input sections by recording in real time or by using the piano roll screen.
Advantages
• Built-in software synth with 92 high-quality sounds (including 9 types of drumkit) enables faithful rendering of sequence patterns.
• Sound editing using filters, EG, and other effects
• Mixer function for each part
• Effects including reverb, chorus, and variations
• Additional phrases and sounds
Four additional voice and phrase datapacks can be purchased directly using the application. (Dance Pop, Electronic, Hip Hop, R&B). Moreover, two additional song and phrase datapacks and one phrase datapack can be also purchased directly using the application.(Song and Phrase datapack: TeddyLoid/Mobile Conductor, access/Eien Dive, Phrase databack: QY Pack)
*In case your purchased pack can't be transferred to the app, please tap the ""Restore Purchases"" button at the bottom of the purchase screen.
• File export
As well as a function for outputting standard general-purpose MIDI files, the application also includes a function for exporting files in an even easier-to-use format designed for Yamaha synths, in which characteristic sounds are specified in advance. (MOTIF XF, S90XS/S70XS, MOXF6/MOXF8, MOX6/MOX8, MX49/61, Tyros5 and MOTIF XS)
• Mix-down
Audio mix-down of a song or a phrase and conversion of the song or the phrase to an audio file can be performed in real time.
• Compatibility with SoundCloud
Audio files can be made compatible with SoundCloud and uploaded.
* To ensure the smooth operation, iPhone 4S or higher or iPod Touch 5th Generation or higher is recommended."
