"A good opportunity to buy a cool Bit One version, produced in few exemplars during the '80 years. It's a very rare SSM filters version, in my opinion it sounds much more hot respect the late Cem based release which I owned in the past. This is my last lovely Bit One out of my collection.. I keeped it as the most rare example with an unique warm sound.
It has been serviced and recapped as it deserve, sounds awesome! New bk battery installed and loaded its factory sounds banks"
"MP Midi controller model 1A+ compatible with apple silicone native touch (no drivers etc needed for touch screen). This is probably the nicest piece of equipment I've ever owned as far as controllers etc go. It is built. like. a. tank. all metal enclosure. beautiful screen. nice knobs. does WAAAY more than I need. I used it 3 or 4 times and it's been boxed since. I prefer woking on my Push 2 for space reasons and I'm just a hobbyist so this is way over kill for me. will ship in original shipping container with all the cords and remote."
"A rare find!! Purchased in 1980, this 6 voice synth has been in a climate-controlled area since it was last played in 1982.
We're offering this vintage synth at a discounted price since it may need some cleanup/repairs. The OB-X powers up, makes sound and the keys all feel good but due to its age, should be looked at by a tech."
"The panel LED is Luna (white) and the body color is Maple. It was purchased new at Ikebe Musical Instruments in the winter of 2007, and was carefully used indoors in a smoke-free environment. It's been sitting in a box for the last 10 years"
"I have a few generative sequencers I've not had time to play with, and figured
I'd compare how they...play. Three are generative in one form or another, and one, the Berlin School, is not. I leave you to suffer with that incongruity in silence.
This is my first exploration with each of them, so I'm just getting a feel for how they work. You're along for the ride, but don't expect too much.
VCO is Acid Rain Chainsaw. LPG is Rabid Elephant Natural Gate. No envelope. Delay here and there is Make Noise Mimeophon. Quantizer is 2hp Tune.
