Sequential Pro 3 Tutorial - Arpeggiator, Paraphonic, Mod Sequencer
Creative Spiral
"In this tutorial I run through a patch design using the Arpeggiator, Paraphonic Mode and Modulation Sequencer to design some complex arp patterns. I've been spending a lot of time lately on patches like this... working on a full bank of sounds that will be available soon, focused on complex but versatile arps and paraphonic motion patches that can be played in any key."

Fairlight CMI Series III - the last restoration in 2020! - DeftAudio
via this auction
"Yes, this is the real deal and your chance to jump onto a completely restored Fairlight CMI Series III system.
Hello. My name is Andrei Kudryavtsev. If you've been tracking Fairlight sales, you probably saw my other restoration work. All systems that I sell are completely restored and refurbished to the original condition, as much as possible. They are also upgraded to modern standards providing better reliability and usability. This system is not the exception. It used to belong to Larry Klein. It was one of the cleanest Fairlight I've ever received, however it required extensive work to get it up to date to Rev 9 standards. It's running OS9.34 with all required hardware changes, with 16 voices 32MB sample memory, with SCSI2SD replacing original hard drive, USB2CMI replacing original Preh keyboard, and a VGA monitor. It has fully repainted the CMI mainframe, music keyboard.
Power supply section is brand new. Old switching PSU has been replaced with three modern PSUs, driving clear power rails and dedicated power rail for fans. Cooling section is brand new, replaced all fans with server grade fans and new fan speed controller with a separate zone management and thermal sensors.
All work is carefully documented and available in my Instagram with all dates it was performed. It took me over 5 months to bring it to the condition you currently see. instagram.com/deftaudio/
This system needs a new home, a person who will be using it to make the music and not being distracted by common failures. All of those have been addressed to make your life easier and bring new life into this wonderful machine. I should say a disclaimer anyway, that as is a vintage gear....it may fail any moment...and obviously no return offered. However, I'm offering you my help in learning this great machine, and so you get 10 hours of my time at no charge. You can use it for whatever you want - set up and install online, learning session, tutorials, technical support etc... I want to make you happy.
What's included into the package:
1. Fairlight CMI Series III mainframe: Rev9.34, 16 voices, 32MB, 100kHz sampling input, SCSI2SD, cooling and PSU upgrades.
2. Fairlight CMI Series III music keyboard
3. USB2CMI keyboard adapter with Apple keyboard and mouse.
4. VGA Monitor, Video scaler, Green color adapter(if you want your fonts to be green)
5. Original Preh alphanumeric keyboard (touchpad doesn't function)
6. Fairlight CMI Series III original green phosphor monitor (faded CRT)
7. All necessary cables.
8. Larry Klein flight cases."

Microwave XT : soundscape machine
Miguel d'Oliveira
"I think the XT is one of the most underrated synths ever.
It rises to pretty much any challenge.
I'm about to format mine so, decided to do 3 quick improvs with some of my favourite sounds.
Of all synths I have, this would be my 'desert-island' piece of gear."

Ensoniq SQ80 w/ Extras
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"1. An excellent condition Ensoniq SQ-80 synthesizer with the following upgrade and customization:
The latest SQ-80 OS v1.8 EPROM firmware upgrade set installed with hidden waves enabled ($20.00 value)
Outdated turquoise blue buttons replaced with original red buttons to improve appearance (see photos).
Also, the keys do not have the infamous "clanky" issue. I'm not sure if the previous owner replaced the key bushings or the keyboard just wasn't used much. Based on the excellent condition of the synth it looks like it wasn't used much. I only used it twice in my home studio and it stayed in it's storage case the rest of the time.
2. Red customized 16-IN-1 Ensoniq ESQ-1 SQ-80 ESQ-M 1024K re-writable cartridge ($120.00 value):
I requested that this cartridge be manufactured in red instead of the standard blue color to match the keyboard.
It is loaded with 1280 patches where each bank can be selected using the switch on the cartridge.
You can also save your customized patches to the cartridge eliminating the need to use floppy disks.
Data retention is 151 years.
3. Excellent condition SKB 61 keyboard case with wheels.
This case fits the SQ-80 like a glove and looks brand new (see photos). This case sales for around $380.00 brand new.
4. An additional cartridge with factory sound set and another SQ-80 voice/data Disk #1 (see photos)
5. Original Ensoniq sustain pedal/switch, Ensoniq volume foot controller and dual sustain/damper pedal combo (see photos):
I never tried sustain/damper pedal combo but the others work fine with no issues.
6. Original Ensoniq Musician's Manual which is also in great condition
7. Power cord"
