Rare James Sing Along Vintage Guitar Synth

This one was spotted on Craigslist and sent in via Kaden Harris. I don't believe I have ever seen one of these before. You will find two demos and a pic of the inside below.

From the listing: "I have this one of a kind guitar synth from about 1965. I've emailed many different gear professionals and none have ever seen one. I even got replys from Roger Mayer, Tom Oberheim, and guitar world. I was told it is a hand built prototype and I believe this could actually be one of the first guitar synthesizers ever made. I received it without the original power cord and guitar pickup. It has an obscure cinch jones 12 pin input so I bought the appropriate adapter and had a quarter inch jack connector installed. It has a new power cable. The unit passes signal and it has a bass octave tone that works. It has several organ tones but I can't seem to get them to do anything. Ideally it could use a modern synth pickup adapted to it and other work to get it going. I'm looking to trade it for a high end guitar. Here's a couple links for a demo https://www.instagram.com/p/BZYtezUA1eM/

Anyone ever see one of these? Newest date stamp on anything inside is 1965. 12 pin input, 2 1/4" outs (there are 2 identical channels). Nothing labeled lol. Really want to get it back in working order. I cant find ANY information on it. #james #singalong #vintage #guitarsynth #1960s #organ #stompbox #guitareffects

Roland System-100 Model-104 Sequencer

Published on Jan 20, 2018 Vykaar Tones

"Roland System-100 Model-104 Sequencer with Doepfer Dark Energy Mk1. A quick demo of one channel only showing the various step lengths, gate time and pitch control voltage ranges - 2.5v, 5v, 10v. As there is no quantizer it is obviously easier to get the right pitches quick using the 2.5v range. This is a unique build of three 104s bolted together matching the width of an Arp 2600 which it is usually used with."

The DEK Soundwell MIDI Controller

Soundwell Dek | MIDI Control Surface | Vintage King Published on Oct 31, 2017

"The innovative Soundwell DEK is a multi-function controller that allows players to perfectly map software instruments to the key of any song. Watch our new demo featuring Vintage King's Brandon Murphy to see just a few of the amazing things this MIDI control surface can do."

via this auction

"The Soundwell DEK is a multi-function controller that allows the user to perfectly map software instruments to the key of any song.

By connecting the DEK to your computer, you can stream a song from your local hard-drive. The DEK will then analyze the song and map out the pads to play single notes or chords that match the key of the song, providing zero error to play an incorrect note or chord.

You can also use the DEK in standalone mode and select any key you choose. It will then map out single notes and chords in that key so you can perform to any song in a live setting. With ability to change note duration, engage DYAD, TRIAD, 1st interval, 2nd interval or the 7th, the DEK is capable of voicing any chord you see fit.

You can map the scales to play between all diatonic and pentatonic scales, ranging from Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian. Transpose the entire key in half step intervals with the use of the PITCH up and down controls. The DEK can also be used for transport control inside your DAW.

The heavy duty frame allows safe travel to and from the studio, jam session or live performances. The multi color backlit keys allow for a clear visual no matter where you are performing."
