Update: not sure if this is a circuit-bent Speak & Math or if it's just the case with other internals. If you know feel free to leave a comment.
"The Diamond Dreams MT-404 Custom by Peter Edwards of Casper Electronics & Bastl fame.
This is portable live performance art in your hand; the stuff usually reserved for names like Patton and Elfman.
It is a prototype. The only one.
I am including the original notes and instructions that accompanied this instrument. A lot of time was spent considering how the musician/user would interface with the device respecting what it was capable of at extremes of deviation from the manufacturer's specification.
Note the little catch so the battery compartment door can't get away from you. The battery compartment is clean and it will run on batteries. It also comes with a wall wart style a/c cable so you can plug it into an outlet in studio and not worry about battery life.
This level of technical design and craft is truly exceptional. R2-D2 love songs, Aleatoric effects, gibberish, future-retro sci-fi grime and garbage.
Someone is going to be very happy."

This Elektron Monomachine SFX-6 Keyboard Workstation also comes with:
One (1) Elektron TM-1 'Turbo Midi' USB/Midi In/Out interface
One (1) USB Cable
One (1) Dual Midi Cable ( The TM-1 is a single Midi I/O interface. This cable facilitates both the sending and receiving. )

The synth is very very clean and absolutely everything works as it should.

"If you're looking at this listing, you're probably well aware of what this is and is capable of. If not, here's an excerpt from Wikipedia:
"The Tenori-on is an electronic musical instrument designed and created by the Japanese artist Toshio Iwai and Yu Nishibori of the Music and Human Interface Group at the Yamaha Center for Advanced Sound Technology. It consists of a hand-held screen in which a sixteen-by-sixteen grid of LED switches are held within a magnesium plastic frame. Any of these switches may be activated in a number of different ways to create sounds. Two built-in speakers are located on the top of the frame, as well as a dial and buttons that control the type of sound and beats per minute produced."
It's basically is one of the most fun & innovative electronic music production hardware/instruments. You can use its inbuilt sounds or import your own samples. You can connect MIDI and use the sequencer as master/slave or a controller etc etc. It can be as easy or as deep as you want it.
Condition:
Unit is cosmetically in great condition. All buttons, jog wheel and switches work perfectly and feel great. Lights and screen perfect in operation. Ports and jacks all in excellent condition and connect without issue. Sound is clear and strong from output."

Commodore 64 - Let's Make Some Music! | The Legendary Computer Lives On
Published on Jan 9, 2020 Espen Kraft
"The Commodore 64 with its famous SID-chip really blew everyone away when it was introduced back in 1982.
It could play 3 different sounds at once, but during the years musicians and programmers learned to drop sounds in and out during the course of the music so it gave the impression that there was more than 3 different sounds playing at the same time.
The two different original SID chips, the 6581 and the 8580 has some differencies in sound and capabilities, and there's always discussions going on about which sounds the best. I'm no SID purist, I'm a musician first and I've grown to appreciate the 8580 as the main SID source when I use the C64 in my music.
