"sending a Machinedrumbeat thru the dbx 566
It can go from subtle warming to powerful distortion. However i'm demonstrating just one setting i quite like on the MD sound, as it gives it a bit more round, less harsh sound"

"Super clean inside and out. Obviously not gigged much, if at all. All keys, knobs and switches work as they should.
It was recently serviced at LA Synth Co, and ready to be put to good use!"

"ARP Omni string synthesizer from the 1970’s. Model number is 2483 and the serial number is 2601. This is a step up from ARP’s String Ensemble (Solina) since it features some synthesizer controls along with the string sounds. This has been in storage for many years and is in need of a deep cleaning and rebuild for proper operation. No broken keys or sliders but it is missing some of the slider caps. It features solid walnut end caps and comes with the original Owner’s Manual, expression pedal and custom Anvil road case. The road case foam has deteriorated in storage and will need to be replaced. It does power on and you can get sound out of it. The sliders are stiff and need to be rebuilt or replaced.
I bought this new in the late ‘70s and had a lot of fun with it then. I don’t have the time or the capacity to give it the attention that it needs."

Under the abyss | Roland JD-800 ambient improvisation soundscape
video upload by MIDERA
"The Roland JD800. This is a synth that has interested me for years and it came yesterday. It feels like a D50+PG1000. But it doesn’t sound like one. I can hear a lot of similar sounds in here. Honestly, I really don’t know what to make of this synth. There is no honeymoon phase. It looks great and it feels great. Even the keys are surprisingly nice, given what I’ve read about them being awful. Yes, I will need to open this up and remove the red glue which hasn’t been a problem on this unit yet.
I think I would love this thing more honestly, if I didn’t have so many synths and no good way to store them. I had bought a Jaspers stand but sold it within a few days because it made my room feel like a tomb and I just hated being in here. But now, I have too many synths and shouldn’t have even bought the JD800.
For me, I’m not yet understanding how this synth is really worth its price. Sure, it has 4 parts, but each part is fairly static (no FM, AM, Cross Mod, etc). Each part has its own envelopes and LFOs and that is pretty nice, but I’ll never get unique timbres that one gets with other synthesis models. For now I feel like it sounds like a less interesting SY77 or D50.
Maybe I’ll change my mind. I don’t know.
This sound was made using 2 (or 3?) parts with internal FX only."
Sequential OB-6 and Trigon-6 (jam session)

"I used the great Soundtower Sequential Trigon-6 editor when recording the material - https://bit.ly/trigon-6editor
No EQ. No compression. Only internal effects. Pure sound.
Enjoy! :)"
