Roland MKS-30 | Better or Worse?
Espen Kraft
"The Roland MKS-30 is the module version of the JX-3P, both excellent analog synthesizers from the early 80s.
The MKS-30 responds to velocity, something most stock 3Ps don't have. The MKS-30 can also store its patches on a cartridge and it can use the PG-200 and Midi at the same time.
There are several different manufacturers making mods for either synth and these mods will rectify a lot of things, among them the ability to send and receive sysex data, somethings sorely missing on the originals.
It's a "common" thought that the MKS-30 sounds thinner and weaker than the the 3P. I can certainly testify that they do not sounds the same.
If you want to listen to the two demo songs in a Wav format, and compare, you can download these here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RmOJ..."

La Lune A Un Mètre / The Astronomer's Dream (new soundtrack)
Nick
"1898 silent film by Georges Méliès with newly composed soundtrack by Nick St George (2020). Thanks to archive.org for Public Domain footage."
Great timing in this one.
"I used Cherry Voltage Modular virtual synth, some of Garageband's virtual instruments and one or two Apple Loops e.g. the stings when things disappear or the astronomer falls over. An M-Audio keyboard controlled the instruments. I assembled it in GB and then 'mastered' it in iMovie."

Waldorf MicroWave 1 + Access Programmer + rare modification (4x audio-inputs)
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"This is an incredibly RARE synthesizer because it has been modified to be able to receive 4 audio inputs and pass each of them through the wavetable oscillator and through the Curtis filter too, then out individually or as a summed stereo signal. The modification was officially endorsed by Waldorf, but there were very few units done. You can see the 4 inputs directly above the 4 individual outputs on the back of the rack unit. This modification alone should significantly increase the value of this unit above the average selling price of £1650 for other MicroWave 1s sold on Reverb.
I am also including the Access MicroWave Controller, which is an external MIDI-controller which provides knob-per function control of the rack unit (which is otherwise difficult to adjust). The Access controller usually sells individually on Reverb for £400-£500, but I am including it together with the synthesizer because they make a perfect match.
This Waldorf MicroWave Rev. 1 rack unit has all the wavetables from the PPG Wave synthesizer and more, and also a genuine Curtis analog filter, and also the 2.0 firmware update installed to improve the sound."
