"This particular Polaris is special because it has a new control panel (touch buttons) and internal ribbons installed. This means that it is good to go for another few decades. Finding one that is fully function like this is really difficult.
All of the sliders and controls work perfectly with no noise or artifacts. The outputs are clean and solid. MIDI works perfectly as well. All of the keys respond and feel like new. Cosmetically, it is also in really good shape. A few scuffs on the wood side panels...that's about it. I thought about painting them, but just left them as-is."
"MK1 Odyssey serial # 282156. Original, no mods. Excellent cosmetic condition ; this unit would benefit from replacing the sliders and RCA output (its corroded). Other than that you will have a beautiful specimen."
"The Battle of Yamaha DX7 - The 32 Original Factory Patches VS Power DX7 Patches
This is a Yamaha DX7 demo brought to you by Power DX7, showcasing the breathtaking realism and unparalleled versatility of the Yamaha Synthesizer, Yamaha DX7 FM Synthesizer.
About This Yamaha DX7 Demo Video
This DX7 demo video is a comparison between the Yamaha DX7 32 original factory patches and Power DX7 patches. Those 32 factory patches are selected from the DX7 VOICE ROM1 & ROM 2 cartridges that came with the Yamaha DX7 MK1 (totaling 128 patches). Each comparison consists of playing the same arrangement with the same effects (or no effects for some patches). The first patch you hear is the original factory patch. The second patch is the Power DX7 patch. Some are a direct comparison, but the others can be remotely similar, as there is no equivalent patch found in those VOICE ROMs. The difference in sounds and volume you hear is due to the difference in programming between the original factory patches and my Power DX7 patches.

I usually demo synth products, but today I'm going to give my review of the Roland VP-03 Vocoder. I have some experience having owned an original VP-330 MK1 and studying its synthesizer process. It inspired me to author my own VST plugin version that emulated the VP-330 sound, only it did not have the Vocoder. So check out this review and see what I think about this interesting product.

"Patch Notes #24 explores the Music Thing Radio Music Eurorack sample player module with looping disabled in the settings (as seen in our recent tutorial) rendering it a one-shot sampler.
The main clock is coming from the Malekko Varigate 4. Channel 1 is triggering the custom kick drum samples loaded into the Music Thing Radio Music, with looping disabled in the Radio Music settings.txt file.
Channel 2 is clocking the Ornament & Crime, which is generating 3 channels of Turing Machine semi-randomized sequences. One sequence is shifting the station on the Radio Music, switching samples. Another Turing sequence is routed to the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas pitch, while a third sequence is modulating the envelope decay on the metallic tones being created.
Channel 3 on the Varigate 4 is routed into the clock input on the DU-SEQ, which is running a 5 step pattern, controlling the gate and pitch on the Make Noise 0-Coast. The pitch signal is routed through Maths channel 2 first, then out from the Sum output to the 0-Coast pitch CV input. One channel from the Pressure Points is also routed into channel 3 on Maths, adding the CV to the pitch input at channel 2, allowing for the transposed sequence. The 0-Coast is routed out through the Vintage Synth Labs VCF-74, and on to the Mutable Instruments Warps running the Parasites firmware for some delay (I like this routing a lot).
The clock output from the DU-SEQ is routed to the 4MS Rotating Clock Divider, which is sending a pulse for every 4 input clock triggers to the clock sync input on the Korg SQ-1. The CV A output is routed to the pitch input on the Mutable Instruments Braids. The stepped random and woggle outputs from the Make Noise Wogglebug are routed to the Braids Timbre CV input and the BI Harm input.
Channel 4 on the Varigate is routed to the Basimilus trigger input. Everything is routed through the Malekko Mix 4 and then out to the audio interface.
I played the JEN SX-2000 with reverb effects from a Dynacord DRP 20 and delay effects from a Korg SDD-3000.
The Jen SX-2000 is an Italian monophonic analog synth with 7 presets. But if you press "preset off", you can create your own sounds. The sound architecture is very simple: 1 VCO, 2 envelopes (for VCF and VCA each), with Attack and Decay, 1 LFO with square/sine waveforms. Resonant lowpass filter. The SX-2000 is actually a cheap analog synth and is very limited, but it has a good basic sound."
