Casio FZ-10M | The Sound of 1987

Published on Mar 13, 2020 Espen Kraft

"Part 1 of my Casio FZ-10M experiences. The sound. Part 2 will put focus on features and operation.

The Casio FZ-1/10M/20M is capable of both sampling, subtractive synthesis, additive synthesis and you can even hand draw waveforms. It can do it all.
In this pt.1 you hear only sampled sounds, mostly DX and Emulator sounds."

Casio FZ-10M | Pt.2 - The System | Tutorial/Workflow

Published on Mar 19, 2020 Espen Kraft

"In Pt.2 I go through sampling, harmonic additive synthesis, how to draw waveforms, the 8 stage envelopes and more. This system can do so much and it's a true powerhouse and the sound is SO late 80s, Wonderful!

Unstoppable - a Krautrock inspired jam on the OP-Z


Published on Mar 19, 2020 Payton Carter

"Check out my music here - https://paytoncarter.bandcamp.com/

I started this jam trying to make something in the vein of Tangerine Dream. I'm not quite sure if it ended up sounded anything like them, but there's definitely some Krautrock influence here.

I'm loving the OP-Z. I'm used to manually changing patterns and sessions on the Novation Circuit, so I thought I would give myself a break and just chain everything together for mostly automatic playing. The workflow on the OP-Z can be a little frustrating at times (especially when trying to work with anything longer than 16 steps), but I think it's best suited to quickly get ideas down and not worry too much about the details. It's lightning fast in that regard.

The new reverb engine is loads better for atmospheric/ambient sounds, which I tend to utilize more. I also really like the new "Analog" sound engine. I'm using it on the arp track here. The only problem is that the two new sound engines each take up a spot in the engine selection, which means if you allow all 8 engines on a track, you only have two spaces for user samples. Surely there's space to allow for plenty more, especially with that (unutilized?) 1GB chip. Please TE, help us out here!"

Hammond 102100 Analog Synth

via this auction

"Up for bid is a Hammond 102100 Analog Synth. Every key works,every preset works. The volume,tuning and wind sliders work.

Of the 7 button banks, all of them work,electronically speaking, but Tone filters #1,2,5,6 and 7 have to be held down to engage. The springs are properly catching. The same is true of #1-7 of the “Filter rise& fall” speed section.

In total, 12 of the 49 buttons will not stay depressed on their own."

Vintage Serviced Oberheim OB-8 Synthesizer Keyboard w/MIDI

via this auction, also on Reverb

"Here's a freshly serviced Oberheim OB-8 that sounds awesome and is available at a great price! The OB-8 is the vintage Oberheim that people should get. All the kinks worked out from the OB-X and OB-Xa, but still that same killer sound! This one has what appears to be a vintage copy of the factory MIDI. Video coming later today.

The previous owner installed my Synthchaser Power Supply Rebuild kits and Ultimate Voice Board Service Kits, but couldn't get all the gremlins worked out of the synth. I acquired it, repaired any issues, and calibrated it to factory spec. I've also replaced the bushings on the keybed, and installed my OB-8 Battery Eliminator, which as the name implies, saves your presets without the need for batteries which would eventually run out. The synth is in reasonable condition, with some damage/cracking to the side panels, typical scratching and wear on the case, and the cap of the collet knob (not the knob itself) for the modulation rate pot on the bender assembly has been replaced with a 3D printed part. Hard to spot it, but I'm all about full disclosure.

Service included:

· All trimmers replaced with multi-turn trimmers and all trimmers calibrated.
· New control board to voice board ribbon cable
· New pot board connector cables
· Power supply rebuilt with Synthchaser power supply rebuild kit (new beefier bridge rectifiers, new filter capacitors)
· Synthchaser OB-8 Battery Eliminator installed - no need to replace the battery in this synth, ever!
· New key bushings (this is an early OB-8 with the Pratt Reed keybed and not the noisy Panasonic keybed)

Due to the current situation, I'm not doing local pickup, shipping within the US only. The synthesizer will be professionally packed by the UPS store and insured for the full purchase price. This is a vintage electronic item, so all sales are as-is and final. But visit the Synthchaser YouTube channel and rest assured that a high quality job was done on this synthesizer by the expert on Oberheim Synthesizers."
