"Very early serial number #1001! Maybe the first one made???any experts here. I’ve done some research on how Yamaha stamped their synths back in the 80s…so far no luck. Did they start with 0001 or 1001? [a few have been captured here, all start with 1 or 2]
Up for bid is the 1985 Yamaha DX5 in excellent condition. Close to “near mint” condition and probably one of the cleanest that you can find. This comes with the original receipt from the first owner who bought it in 10-5-1985 for $2889!
Unit shows just a few small nicks on the side panels and scratches in the bottom as seen in the photos. Other than that this is in amazing condition. Fully functional, tested and works as designed. All controls works!
It includes:
Original detachable music sheet stand
Sustain pedal
Manual
XLR cable
3 ROM cartridges
Orig power cord"
"A super rare DK-700, the Siel flagship synthesizer released in 1986, equipped with a DIY Arduino interface to control all the synth parameters in real-time using TouchOSC on Android/iPad. The machine has been recently serviced by a professional technician and actually looks and sounds great.
Released in 1986, the DK-700 is the best and last synthesizer produced by the Italian SIEL right before the joint-venture with Roland Corporation and its subsequent turning into Roland Europe. The DK-700 has been on the market for less than one year so only few hundreds units were sold and this inspiring synthesizer never received the love it actually deserved.
"The Virus Rack XL packs the entire Virus C into a single-unit rack-module for those of you who don't need built-in hands-on access. Limited in knobs, buttons and LEDs - but that's all. The Rack XL has all the same features and functions of the Virus C and KC versions. It even has front and rear audio inputs to process external audio through its effects, vocoder, filters, etc."
"The LMN-3 is an open-source synth/sampler/sequencer/DAW-in-a-box. You can find the collection of all LMN-3 repositories here: https://github.com/FundamentalFrequency
"This is a DIY project based off of FundamentalFrequency. It is similar to the Teenage Engineering OP-1.
An overview of the project can be seen here: [video above]
This was built by myself using a Raspberry Pi 4, 4GB w/64GB uSD card. It features the Tracktion Engine for its main software. All keys, encoders, etc. work and are housed in a custom 3D printed and laser cut acrylic case. Made some custom laser printed labels of which the "stop" key is rubbing off. I also compiled a custom version of the software where I added a Shutdown option to the settings menu which issues a proper shutdown command to the Raspberry Pi (avoids data loss and uSD card corruption). Also created custom Python scrips to save and load sessions. Also added on-screen keyboard to use with naming and loading the sessions. Works great with the touchscreen.
Some things this can do: Tracks Screen Plugins Screen Drum Sampler Step Sequencer Drum Programming Sampler Bass Sequencing Clip Cut/Paste 4OSC Synth Adding Effects Recording Editing, Loop Controls, Saving, and Track Addition/Deletion Mixer Overview Pitch Bend Modifiers
List of hardware included: Raspberry Pi 4, 4GB 64 GB microSD card 45 keyboard keys (serving has synth/MIDI keyboard), controlled via a Teensy microcontroller Hyperpixel 4 touchscreen (4") Power supply
This thing works great and is really cool to create music with. Comes loaded with a bunch of samples and instruments."

"Here are 9 patches using both the Kijimi and the Hydrasynth. The first 10 seconds of each sound are Hydrasynth only, then the Kijimi is added. Minimal reverb added, the clipping in the second-to-last sound is part of the Hydrasynth patch. Hydrasynth sounds are presets- in case you're playing along at home:
The Kijmi adds a nice body to the Hydrasynth. As much as I love the Hydrasynth, there's nothing analog about its sound. This combination could do some amazing evolving sounds but I don't have the patience for that."

"In this video about BOUNDARY by Schlappi Engineering I demonstrate the features of this function generator/vca. Especially the 'bound' parameter on the envelope section gives us behaviour that's very unique to BOUNDARY. I tried to show every feature of the module, but I forgot to mention a few of the LEDs on the frontpanel (those tell you what's happening inside). I'm sure if you've watched the video you'll be able to figure those out when you do a quick glance at the manual.
The build quality is just great, everything is really sturdy, the knobs are heavy duty and I'm not at all affraid that I'll wiggle them off of the unit at any point in time.

DISCLAIMER: This unit got sent to me by Jay from Schlappi Engineering (thanks btw!) to make a comprehensive video about it. In no way does this affect the content of the video: my only goal is to share how the module works, what you can and can't do with it, ... so you can make a better judgement whether BOUNDARY is something you need for your system or not."
