Two Protosynth V1 + the original Protosynth, dubbed on top of previously recorded improvisation.

Published on Nov 2, 2016 Konstantin T

"Some experimental craziness on my protosynths. Please, dont mind the chaotic merging of one part into the next, it was total live experimenting. Two protosynth V1 + the original protosynth recorded and merged on top of a previously recorded improvisation. Processed by some effects on the PC side. Sound madness to the out there."

Yamaha CS-60 short composition

Published on Nov 1, 2016 raycastile

"After two rambling improvs [see here], I thought I'd do something more organized. This is a little composition, created in about three hours in the middle of the night on Halloween eve. The CS-60 is doing a theremin-like sound, backing up a choral sound on the Korg M1. The guitar is coming out of the Roland XP-30. You hear a little Yamaha Reface CP. The bass is played on the MoroderNova. Strings on the Ensoniq ESQ1. No arpeggiators on this one. It was played pretty loosely, with no metronome. The CS-60's pitch ribbon was acting up a bit, and you can hear it gurgle a little here and there. This is my last night before the CS-60 goes back to the tech, so this is probably the last video you will see from me for a few weeks."

Vintage 1981 Sequential Circuits Pro One SN 3380

via this auction

"This auction is for one vintage used 1981 Sequential Circuits Pro One analog synthesizer keyboard project. I purchased this keyboard several years ago and intended to restore it but I never got around to it. This keyboard powers up and is working. Only half of the keys are working and they are all stiff. The pots and switches could stand to be cleaned. This synth has been in storage for a long time. With that being said, this keyboard is being sold "as-is" for parts or repair. Cosmetically, the keyboard shows wear including scratches and some dings on the wood sides but still looks nice overall (see pictures). The 'AMOUNT' knob under the modulation section is missing (see pictures). The plastic shaft is still there and the pot works fine."

Curious if this is a J-Wire version. If so the wires that make contact with the bus bar could just be bent. I once picked up a Pro-One for $125 because it had a stuck note. I opened it up, bent the j-wire back straight and all was good. No stiff keys though...

Update: see this video for and example of j-wires on a Micromoog.
