Kawai SX-240 Linn LM2 Drum Machine

Published on Apr 6, 2012 Sjobeck7

"Kawai SX-240 on custom dual mode Mono/String Patch with hovering "heavenly" preset patch on Ensoniq SQ-1 With custom, punchy Linn-Drum pattern repeating over top secret erractic late night neurotic mix down so not to forget the best nightmare I ever had~..."

via this auction

"This is an amazing drum machine!!! And yet, like a lot of vintage gear it seems, it has its good days and bad days... Well , to be perfectly frank, mostly bad days lately! : / It always powers up and always makes drum sounds, which is good, but it sometimes won't save your drum patterns for very long after you power off, and is VERY glitchy! Tempo knob works fine, but it is hard to understand what your tempo reading is! LED matrix is screwy! Most all of the LED's light up, but some are less persistent while others just don't want to do anything it seems! However, ALL the Individual outputs, tuning, mixer section, triggers inputs and outs, jacks, and all the drum sounds are all good to go! This Linndrum is in beautiful physical condition!!! Very few, scuff marks or scratches, no major blemishes. All sliders work great too!
Honestly, this is the best sounding drum machine I have ever owned! I've owned about 25 or so drum machines through the years, mostly vintage kits! It is just a pity, it can't save the patterns. :(
2-23 -2015 I did play it last night for nearly 2 hours and it was working a bit better. It actually saved my patterns for an entire night, as they were still there when I powered it on this afternoon. You can also save them to your computer. (created drum patterns and songs) Last night, I also triggered it out into an Arpeggiator on a Korg Poly 61 and it worked great! I discovered too that tuning down the low Congo gives you an insanely fat bass drum! THIS LINNDRUM WILL NEED REPAIR! It is strictly being sold as/is for parts or repair. No Refunds!"

Camel Audio Acquired by Apple?

via MacRumors

"Apple appears to have acquired popular music plug-in and effect maker Camel Audio, based on information found on corporate registry site Companies House [PDF]. Camel Audio's address has been updated to 100 New Bridge Street, which is Apple's London address, and the company's sole director is now listed as Apple lawyer Heather Joy Morrison, suggesting the company is in the possession of Apple.

Camel Audio is known for its range of plug-ins, synthesizers, effects, and sound libraries, which were available via the company's Alchemy software. Previously available for $249, Alchemy included more than 1000 sounds, 5.5GB worth of samples, a powerful additive resynthesis engine, spectral resynthesis, a virtual analog synthesizer, and more. Its powerful engine was highly useful to those who liked to create and manipulate audio for unique sounds."

Interesting. Curious if it will become part of Garage Band. Deeper instruments coming to the platform?

EML Poly-Box

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

via this auction

"The EML Poly-Box is a rare and unique beast. Only 130 were ever built, much fewer in orange. Their primary function is to turn a monosynth into a polysynth, by simply plugging the monosynth through it's loop. Then you can play chords with the monosynth sound. In addition it has 2 oscillators, pitch up & down 1 octave, nice phasing and a hold switch (to sustain notes). It sounds pretty cool on it's own, and can make any monosynth much more versatile. DEVO's Mark Mothersbaugh can be seen playing them live, back in the day.

:: Condition

This Poly-Box is from the late 70's, and in great working & physical condition. There are a few minor scratches on it's wood sides and a missing center hub on one of the knobs. The keys are slightly uneven, but for it's age, it's in very fine shape, and a super-funky piece of history."
