"Many of you have told me you'd love to own a LinnStrument but can't afford the $1499 price. So we've released "LinnStrument 128" for the lower price of $999. It's identical to LinnStrument except 128 note pads instead of 200. It fits nicely in a backpack and includes the new Step Sequencer. (See below.)

We're accepting orders now on our online store for shipping during the week of November 14. I expect they'll sell out pretty quickly, so you might want get your order in soon. If you'd prefer to buy through a dealer, please ask your favorite dealer to place an order with us."

And on the software update:

"We've just released software version 2.0.0 with the following new features:

* New Polyphonic 2-Track Step Sequencer!
* Significantly better velocity response
* Release velocity. Now LinnStrument is "5D" in Roli-speak. :)
* 4 new LED colors: white, orange, lime and pink.
* 14-bit pressure resolution using LSB/MSB Control Change pairs.
* The MIDI OUT jack can now also act as a combined MIDI OUT and MIDI THRU.
* Panel and Foot Switches can now be assigned to Tap Tempo.

This one in via Jason, aka bassling, who had the following to say:

"You can see I've played the drums, then recorded the MIDI through a Roland TR-707.

These drums are accompanied by an Atomosynth Mochika XL and King Capitol Punishment Utopia Synth, the latter has a little Valhalla Shimmer reverb added in the box and I've used Ozone 7 to master.

See http://bassling.blogspot.com/2016/10/... for track discussion."

"1979 ARP OMNI-2 Vintage Analog String Synthesizer Mostly Working Solina Moog

Looks beatup with scratches and fading. But, most features work. A previous owner even installed two working power outlets on the back. Replacement slider caps have been added to more closely match how it looked when new.

What doesn't work (or doesn't work well):
- Decay and Sustain in ADSR section. These are always at 100% regardless of there the slider is positioned.
- String Fast/Slow Release (top panel, right) seems to be at near 100% (long) if the slider is set a few millimeters to the right. There is no range.
- Single trigger illuminates but doesn't seem to do anything.

This thing is built with steel and is rugged. It weighs 42 lbs."

"*MIDI to CV-Gate Interface MCV-628 by Papareil Synth Labs. The interface lets you control notes and one selectable control (either Filter Cutoff, PWM1 or PWM2). The button is an auto learn button to learn the midi channel of the incomming midi messages. The switch is to choose if either the notes will be triggered by the keyboard or the incoming midi. The knob has 4 positions and decide which parameter will be affected by modulation message (cc1): 1-cutoff, 2-PWM1, 3-PWM2, 4-OFF. The LED is a multi purpose led which blinks 3 times at power on, after the complete init of the cpu/software. It means "All is ok". In normal working condition, the Gate led lights when a note is played or if a recognised SysEx message is received. […] When the interface is in Autolearn mode, the Gate led stay on, until a MIDI message has been received."

"Missing some fader caps but they're all still functioning. Keys all work great. The battery cover is missing as well. The speaker still functions but it's really small and doesn't really do justice when you play bass lines Through headphones or a line out this thing sounds huge despite how dinky it looks. The cutoff filter has a huge sweep on it as well. Great little vintage analog monosynth for the price. Even has knobs on the side to add a guitar strap! Below is a description from vintage synth explorer. Check out a couple demos of this on YouTube. You'll be pleasantly surprised 😉."
