"Yamaha CS80, including top lid and steel legs.

This CS80 is fully functional. All 8 voices from each channel work, the keys play as they should (pressure, release, etc), and the ribbon also functions properly.
This CS80 is in very good cosmetic condition. But as it is more than 30 years old, it bears some signs of wear. Please see photos for details.

It was serviced by a professional technician in 2014. Service consisted in the replacement of series 4000 chips (including those for the note assignment board), power supply capacitor replacement, cleaning up of panel potentiometers and switches, and calibration (please note that calibration may be necessary again after shipping)."

TT-303, Korg Synthepedal and Funkbox demo by Jordan Passmore

Published on Oct 6, 2015 Jordan Passmore

"In this demo I am performing some acidic house with the Cyclone Analogic Bass Bot TT-303, Synthetic Bits Funk Box iPad app and a Korg Synthepedal. The iPad is being ran through the Korg Synthepedal (which is a band-pass analog filter w/ envelope follower). The drum set for the majority of the video is one of the TR-909 patches in the fantastic Funk Box iPad app. The two of these are mixed on an old Bogen transformer mixer (it is located under the iPad a bit out of shot) which is distorting as it really just loves to do so with a little bit signal. The audio then is going into my Yamaha MJ100 DJ mixer which applies a bit of EQ and digital delay, followed by my audio interface."

Todd Barton Transmissions II at The Dance Space in Ashland, OR

"Saturday, October 17 8pm.

 Studio A.B and Control Voltage Therapy present an evening of multimedia / interdisciplinary performance by Todd Barton and Bruce Bayard, with special guests Lawson Inada, Damon Honeycutt, and Christine Williams. Buchla Music Easels, video projections, movement, poetry, and voice come together in a creative melting pot. Each artist brings their own responses to a single abstract concept, that of the conveyance of ideas and information. They then create the evening's performance in the moment without rehearsal or prepared script beyond general agreement of sections relating to emphasis on word, movement, imagery or all at once. The collaboration produces an intriguing, surprising concordance.

Left to right: Todd Barton, Bruce Bayard, Damon Honeycutt, Lawson Indada, Christine Williams.

Lawson served as Poet Laureate of Oregon and has won numerous book awards including the Oregon Book Award, and the American Book award. Damon is currently pursuing an MFA in Music Composition at The Vermont College of Fine Arts. He has traveled extensively worldwide and has preformed with Pilobolus Dance Company. Christine is a classically trained singer and actor, and has performed at Barbican Centre in London, the Growtowski Institute in Poland, and eight seasons at OSF. She is currently developing her own form of solo music theatre. Todd was composer at Oregon Shakespeare Festival for over forty years and is now creative consultant to Buchla Electronic Music Instruments. Bruce is a self-taught visual artist and video designer. Together, Todd and Bruce form the music performance duo Control Voltage Therapy.
