DreamsOfWires - Roland CMU810 #3


Published on Aug 4, 2015 DreamsOfWires

"This will be an overly long and boring one for many; I -re-used a sequence from an earlier Minitaur video that was still stored in my Minibrute's sequencer memory, but I wanted to record something simple with the CMU810 only, so that I could show how it sounds a little more clearly. It's a nice instrument, a little limited compared to my SH1, but definitely fatter-sounding, yet it can sound particularly pretty and definitely has the familiar Roland sound character which I like so much. I added some annoying subtitles at times so you've some idea what my hands are doing in the semi-darkness. A little reverb was added, as usual."

Not boring to me! I love demos like this.

"ELKA SYNTHEX, first generation series, fully working, excellent cosmetic condition.

This model has a near mint control panel. The wood parts are in excellent condition.

It works perfectly and smoothly, no known issues. Serial number: 10xx.

MIDI can be installed. The kit is available from France and it costs 250 euro shipping included. I'll provide details on request.

This model has never been touched inside! All electronics are immaculate. It sounds very healthy despite its age. It could be just my perception. but this particular model sounds fatter and louder than any other Synthex I ever had (approximately 30 models so far)."

Mutable Instruments Shruthi XT Digital/Analog Hybrid Synth

"It has the standard SMR4 filter board installed - a lovely, liquidy Roland-inspired 4 pole filter - and is capable of a huge range of sounds, with 2 flexible and endlessly entertaining digital oscillators which have a ton of character, the ability to play duophonically, and - unlike the regular shruthi - a well laid out and easy to navigate and highly tweakable interface with a ton of knobs.

This model was built by Mutable Instruments trusted builder Laurentide Synthworks - which have now taken over production of the Shruthi line since MI discontinued them - and has never left my studio, been covered from dust, and is in absolutely MINT, pristine condition.

Last note - the XT has been DISCONTINUED. If you want one of the finest digital analog hybrids ever created - and want to be able to create patches in a minute rather than in half an hour - here's your chance to get one. Feel free to email me with any questions you have. Thanks for looking!"

Linndrum SN 003

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

via this auction

via the seller: "The 3rd ever production Linndrum for sale here, I've actually spoken to Roger Linn about this and he confirmed it for me. Pick up a proper collectors item.

Works great but takes a long time to get warmed up, which is not unusual for such an old instrument. If you wanted you could get the transformer serviced so that it will start up faster, something I've done with my Prophet 5. I just tried it out and after the warm up it worked and sounded brilliant. A shame to sell it really.

I only ever use it for making patterns with and have never used or tested it's song sequencer mode. Never had any issues with the machine though apart from the long warm up time.

The right output of the stereo output is at a bit loose, as you can see from the picture. I tried moving it around to see if any noise or loose connections were occurring but there was nothing. Works totally fine.

When I bought it it did not have the screws fixing the hinged top section to the bottom section. This is not a problem unless you plan on putting the drum machine upside down, and is actually quite handy as there internal parameters that are adjustable (like Kick tune).

Collection from London E8 is preferred as this is a vintage item and might not do too well in the post. Saying that if postage is required I can do it but it will not be cheap as item is heavy. It will be well packed though, but will take longer than the 3 working days advertised."
