"This is a near mint condition Roland JD800. This particular model is owned by producer / remixer, King Britt. This edition was used as his signature ‘Scuba’ sound for many years. Half of the patches are custom, that have appeared on so many remixes & recordings from Everything But The Girl (Rollercoaster) to Miles Davis (Shhhhhhh! Sea4Miles Remix) to all of his signature Scuba remixes. Also in all his production from 1992-2015."
"miniMO is a low-cost programmable module based on the ATtiny85 8-bit microprocessor.
In this video I showcase all the features of a miniMO programmed as a MIDI sequencer, including both Play and Edit modes. I cover a lot of ground in a short space, so if you have any questions please let me know in the comments :)"

"Multi-award winning music software & hardware developer Arturia have released a tutorial series on the finer details of CMI V, their recently unveiled recreation of the Fairlight CMI: the 'mother of all samplers' that changed the face of contemporary music production.
Presented by Glen Darcey, this 4 part video series covers the key concepts of the instrument, letting users quickly familiarize themselves with its features and functions. This series includes a quick tour of the instrument, shows you how to load and edit samples, and explores the new Time and Spectral synthesis possibilities.
While ludicrously powerful and undeniably revolutionary, the original Fairlight CMI was typical of early digital instruments: sluggish, temperamental, and notoriously difficult to program. Despite these quirks, whole studios based their sound around the unparalleled capabilities of this revolutionary sampler, and many now-legendary record producers made the CMI their signature mix ingredient.
Reborn for the modern production age, CMI V has been revamped, reworked, and reimagined to create an equally ground-breaking instrument, built to inspire today’s musicians just as the original did since its 1979 release. Building on the classic sampler functions that are now second nature to most 21st century musicians and producers, and true to their form of revitalizing retro instruments with powerful new features, Arturia have created a living, breathing, true synth & sampling instrument.
Sculpt harmonics and gain access to vast waveform controls with the Spectral Synth; import audio and create your own personalized sample-scapes; and take command of 32 harmonic sound envelopes in the additive Time Synth. CMI V is truly the triumphant return of a giant, a fitting tribute to the monumental sampler that inspired generations of musicians, and turned the whole industry on its head.
CMI V is one of four new stunning vintage instrument recreations that are included in V Collection 6 - Arturia's groundbreaking retro synth and keyboard package. Containing 21 instruments, each modeled after a keyboard that changed the face of music as we know it. Within V Collection, you'll find meticulously modeled analog synths, digital powerhouses, incredible performance keyboards, acoustic and electric pianos, organs, a string machine, and even a sampler.
Breathing life back into the most iconic keyboard instruments of all time, V Collection is the ultimate creativity launchpad, and an essential studio tool for the modern music producer."
"Artiphon sent me an INSTRUMENT 1 to demo. Here's that demo.
The INSTRUMENT 1 is a multifaceted, multidimensional MIDI controller that you can use to play software instruments on Mac, PC, and iOS.
You can change its behavior using the INSTRUMENT 1 Editor software. Play modes include things guitar, bowed instruments, pianos, percussion, autoharp and more. A built-in arpeggiator and various scale modes can inspire new ways of interfacing with your software or hardware instruments. It has velocity and aftertouch and you should touch it and think about your life."

"The Contour's Mirrored Output can be used, with a dual VCA such as Dynamix, for panning and crossfading. These processes are not limited to audio: CV panning and crossfading can yield interesting results with relatively simple patches."
via the seller: "I bought this Novation Peak a couple weeks ago based on it being MPE-compatible (Multidimensional Polyphonic Expression). It's virtually n-e-w (I think I have to spell it like that or eBay has a fit). But, to be honest and not over-promte I'm listing it as Used rather that N-E-W Other. My purpose was to use the Novation Peak with a Roli Seaboard Rise. It does the MPE thing for the most part, but it doesn't integrate as tightly as I'd like in that regard. For one thing, I haven't got the MPE pitch bend to really work properly with the Roli. The Novation Peak works fine with 'regular' keyboards, of which I have several. And because I have several keyboards and a bunch 'o modules I don't really need another sound module that doesn't completely do what I bought it for. As a regular 8-voice polyphonic instrument it sounds great, really great. I'm tempted to keep it anyway, but I'm not really going to use it like I wanted to."
