DSI Sequential Prophet Rev2 - No talking demo of all the internal Factory Banks sequences - Part 4/4
video by Andrea Di Lorenzo - Music Lab
Andrea Di Lorenzo - Music Lab Sequential Prophet Rev2 posts
"'No talking' demo of all the internal preset sequences of the DSI Sequential Prophet Rev2-8 voices.
The Dave Smith Instruments Sequential Prophet Rev2 is an update of the Prophet '08 with more possibilities and modulation options in order to get much more complex textures without losing the "classic Prophet sound".
In this demo I will just let you hear what the amazing Dave Smith Instrument's sound designers have made for this amazing synth simply by scrolling through the Bank 4 of the Factory Presets. You will find single layers, split layers (A-B) or stack (dual) layers (A+B).
No additional effects or outboard processing here. 'What you listen is what you get'."

This appears to be the first one pictured on the site. There are a couple of references to the HALO ROM sounds but not the actually keyboard synth. Some pics and details of one I found on eBay:

Behringer's RD9 TR-909 Clone Finally Ships
This one was a long time coming. You could have picked up a prototype back in July of 2020 here.
"RD-9 is now finally shipping. We're sorry that it has taken much longer than we had anticipated but Covid plus the current global supply chain challenges didn't make it easier.
Compared to the earlier version, the RD-9 has been completely redesigned with many new features added. We're very proud of the RD-9 and can't wait to hear all your feedback.
We also like to thank the many wonderful beta testers who helped us with valuable feature suggestions and to ensure the product is now in perfect shape.
Please be aware that it'll take some time to fill the huge backorders we have on hand. Thank you for all your patience and support."

"Had an hour while my daughter was napping, so I made this. I found this preset on the D-50 that sounded pretty cool (starts right at the beginning). I liked it, and just made this jam, or whatever it is.
Really though, not much to add. Now its time to go see if we can buy her a fish. Who knows how that will go..."

Roland XPS 30 (2014)
video by KEYBOARDS NOSTALGY
This appears to be the first post to feature the Roland XPS 30. According to Roland, it is only avialable in certain regions. It's available in black and red models. Some additional details from Roland's website:
Update: looks like the video was switched to private. Going to leave this post up for the info below.
The XPS-30 starts with the great feature set of the popular XPS-10 and adds many powerful enhancements that performing players will love.


Stage essentials like acoustic and electric piano sound even better, and the internal waveform set can be easily expanded with free sound collections from Roland’s Axial website. The selection of regional instrument sounds has been increased as well, and more user samples can be imported (including multi-sample import) thanks to the doubled onboard memory capacity. There’s also a built-in eight-track pattern sequencer for capturing songs and ideas, plus a convenient mic input with dedicated vocal effects.
Mobile performance keyboard with pro sounds, enhanced features, and battery-powered operationIncludes all the sounds from the popular XPS-10 and JUNO-Di, plus updated acoustic and electric pianos and additional regional sounds
Wave expansion slot enables users to download new sound waveforms, available for free at Roland’s Axial website
Sample import function with twice the memory capacity of the XPS-10
Version 2.00 software supports multi-sample import for professional sound creation

"Note: this synthesizer concept is a personal design and not associated with Behringer or MUSIC Tribe Global Brands Ltd
POSITRON 16 is an analog polyphonic synthesizer concept that focus on morphing, with continuously variable waveforms, filter modes, arpeggiator patterns and more.
It features plenty of hands-on controls, from the three wheels, the Morpher joystick and a fullwidth ribbon controller to polyphonic aftertouch, macro controls, dual pedal inputs and even a CV antenna socket. This will make sure you are always in control of your sounds and performances even during improvisations, and the intuitive LED-collar encoders with push button function make creative sound programming a breeze.
