Korg MonoPoly Synth w/ MIDI, Patch Cover, White LEDs & Original Case SN 375065

"Full working order (serviced around 1 year ago) and in good condition although there is some superficial damage as you can see in the pictures. This Mono/Poly was bought from Japan whilst I was living abroad in Hong Kong, and just before she arrived it had been fully serviced. All keys/knobs etc work and the previous owner has even replaced the LED's with some nice white ones.

Also included is the original carrying case, and also a very rare and collectable original cardboard soundboard (which apparently is worth a little something on it's own!).

This has been fitted with the ModyPoly Midi kit (as you can see in picture 7 - https://tubbutec.de/modypoly), but I didn't want to drill holes in the serial number plate so have just left it hanging out for now. Was planning to get a perspex plate made to make the holes but have just lived with it like this for a while now."

As you will see from the photos it is in immaculate condition for its age. It has never been gigged and has been kept in a smoke free environment..."

Why the Roland TR-626 is the ultimate 80s drum machine - Review/Tutorial/Workflow

Published on Mar 26, 2018 Espen Kraft

"I think the Roland TR-626 is one of the best 80s drum machines out there.

Check out my track here to hear it in a full production: [posted here]

What's not to like?
- Individual outs
- Tunable drums (the 707 can't do that)
- Good MIDI specs
- Almost all the percussion sounds from the 727
- Great overview and easy to program
- Great classic kicks, snares, hats and claps

It's also way cheaper than the 707 on the market right now. Get it!

80 MODULES IN 4HP?! Disting MK4 review and my top 5 algorithms

Published on Mar 26, 2018 loopop

"The Disting has an ever expanding library of onboard modules or algorithms that can do very different things - currently about 80 but probably more by the time you watch this, all embodied in a 4HP module.
​
If you like modules that are clearly labelled knob per function, the Disting is not for you, but if you’re in a pinch for a module that’s missing from your setup, it’s more than likely that the multifunction Disting from Expert Sleepers has a version of it - ​ranging from oscillators, envelope generators and LFO’s all to way to audio recording, sample playback, physical modeling and effects.

The new, fourth version of Disting – the MK4, introduces a dot matrix screen, that while is relatively small, makes the module substantially more accessible.

In this video I give an overview of Disting's layout and how to use the compact module, as well as sound examples for my personal top 5 modules."
