"The dsp-D8 now got a Latino friend, the dsp-L8 PCM Latin Percussions.
Percussion kit with 8 sounds and separate trigger inputs.
6 of the sounds can be separatly tuned using 6 analog inputs 0-5v.
40KHz sample frequency.
3-5volt power and no external components besides a passiv LPF.
Sounds include: Agogo, Conga, Cabasa, Timbale, Maracas, Quijada, Chime and Whistle.
Simple to use as a soundchip in an analog drumsynth or module.
This is the TR-727 in a single chip!
In a pair with the dsp-D8 chip they give a complete kit with 16 sounds and 12 of them tuneable.

"Yamaha TX416 Rack Mount FM synthesizer. This is a TX 816 rack with 4 modules. It has the legendary Yamaha FM synthesizer sounds that were used on so many hits in the 1980's. Basically it is 4 DX7's in a rack. From beautiful bells to Rhodes piano's and Marimbas it has a unique sound and when layered it sounds fat and so musical. I used this on many hit records from Luther Vandross,Miles Davis, Roberta Flack, Chaka Kahn and many more. I am also throwing in the Beetle programmer that makes programming it a breeze. It was not working because I need a AC adapter for it-But if you buy this it will be worth looking into getting it as it makes programming a breeze. The 416 has been in The same rack for years just sitting there-Time to get somebody to use it"

Yamaha CS-15 with Original Japanese Manual & Bach Revolution Sound Chart & Case

I think this is the first time I've ever seen the Bach Revolution Sound Chart. An obscure and interesting bit of synth history paraphernalia.

Mint Roland Juno 106 with Wood Side Panels
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
Note the listing states the Juno-106 was the first Roland synth to have MIDI. It was actually the JX-3P.
"Here is a complete list of the work that was done by Allen Coppock at Synth Spa in the States:
- Wooden end panels - custom made cherry hardwood end panels installed.
- Complete internal overhaul including new high quality voice chips installed (all six, so there are no risks of future failure)
- Update to new "socketed" voice chips so they can replaced easily, if they do ever fail
- Replacement of the battery and update with a battery holder (instead of the original soldered battery) for future replacement
- External clean of all the switches and buttons
- Cleaning of the key action and internal check / recalibration
- Update all LEDs and the 2-digit display to new ones
- Add a red pitch bend knob
- Add a 3-prong socket for the power input (standard "kettle cord" that most synths use)
- Voltage change to 240V for Australia, so you don't need a step-down transformer
- Restore all the original factory programmes"

MicroBrute GarageBand Song

"Just got an iPad mini 4. Plugged in my MicroBrute using an iRig 2, launched GarageBand for the first time and this is the result. All sounds are from the MicroBrute except the drums."
Effects4YourSynthesizer Ep3: Glitchmachines Subvert
Published on Sep 20, 2015 Synth Anatomy
"In this episode of Effects4YourSynthesizer, I check out Glitchmachines Subvert.
Glitchmachines Subvert is a savage 3-Channel distortion processor designed to facilitate the decimation of the frequency spectrum. Based around 5 effects; multimode distortion, FM ring modulator, digitizer, metalizer and multimode filter, Subvert generates anything from subtle harmonics to relentlessly brutal distortions. Offering three channels of each effects chain and a wealth of modulation options, Subvert is our take on the ideal tool to inject your productions with a sinister and aggressive edge.
Driving its core are 2 envelope followers and 4 LFOs with optional tempo sync, which can have their output inverted or combined using up to 4 mixers. The final output of the plugin can also be sculpted with the on board master Equalizer. Subvert features 80 factory presets from sound designers Ivo Ivanov, Nicholas Yochum, Daed and Subjex. From subdued, hostile overtones to deadly seething noisescapes, Subvert will bring an extensive range of vicious effects to your audio arsenal.
Personal impressions:
+ dirty distortion plugin
+ create special distorted sounds also with the factory library
+ random function gives you some suprise sounds
+ simple interface
What I love to see:
- random feature for each channel"
Analogue Solutions Leipzig-s (Loop #116)
Published on Sep 20, 2015 alternatingbitmusic
"Can't stop loving this analog beast. Can't stop sharing the love.
Here's a rather synthpop-like loop that is pretty cool considering there is no layering of audio tracks, it's literally the Leipzig-s's internal sequencer and multi-layered oscillators & modulation that make this such a rich sequence. Completely dry, no effects, with added minimal percussion via the Vermona DRM1-MKIII. Key control via the Akai MPK61."
