"This ARP Quadra has just been professionally overhauled by Synthchaser, the foremost expert on ARP Quadras! Work done included new red LED sliders (illumination can be dimmed or disabled by control of a knob mounted just inside the synth), recap of all tantalum and electrolytic capacitors, new touch sensor, keyboard refurbishment, new IC chips, and more reliability enhancements!

Here is a video demo of the actual keyboard being sold:

While many synths are listed as "serviced" or "fully serviced", they are usually devoid of any details of what was actually done. Those that do provide details or service invoices often reveal that the synth was merely superficially serviced, and not genuinely "future-proofed". I have not only serviced this Quadra, I've taken it down to the chassis and overhauled it. Work done included:

via this auction

"Akai Z8 With 80 gig HD loaded, also has the very rare 8 output expansion installed. Maxed ram yielding up to 50 minutes of Stereo sampling or 100 min of mono sampling : )

Operational Condition : It all works.. all buttons, jacks, display, dials, encoders and screen. Hard drive works great as does USB ports. Hard Drive has several samples / programs on it. NOTE.. On a cold start / boot, the screen may stay on the "Panel Operating System" screen.. After 10 seconds or so, after HD and OS boot, you can press any button, like Utility, Load, Save etc to reach main screen. Usually only happens after not being powered on for a long while. Otherwise, this Z8 functions like it should."

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #96: Casio CZ-1 - Song 1


Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the first song with the CZ-1. It's a 16 voice Phase Distortion synthesizer from the mid 80s. The only Casio Synth from the CZ series that featured velocity and aftertouch sensitivity.

I used for the recording the following FX chain:
CZ-1 - Pigtronix Quantum - Digitech Obscura - Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe - GFI System Specular Reverb 2. Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track."

When the Prophet 600 heats up


"Quick video to show how sounds a Prophet 600 when it's heating.
Mine doesn't have the Gligli mod so it goes out of tune easily.
Needs about 30 minutes for being 100% in tune!"
