September Fifteenth synth pad on Sequential Take 5
video upload by CyberGene
"This is an attempt to recreate the synth pad played by Lyle Mays on the track called 'September Fifteenth' from the 1981 record 'As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls' by Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays. The synth I use is the Sequential Take 5. Not an exact recreation but kind of there. Not sure about the chords either but the task here was the synth sound rather than the exact chord progression, voicing and timing.
The patch can be downloaded here (you need to be registered to the forum):

video upload by ohm_studi_ohm
"DRUM MACHINE FOR SALE HERE: https://reverb.com/item/71915584
This is a scavenged rhythm unit from a 70s Farfisa spinet organ. Sounds are of course 100% analog on this one, no IC only transistors and diodes.
10 rhythms that can be combined and only volume and tempo control.
Sounds nice with the tape delay and spring reverb unit Korg Stage Echo."

8/4/23 Electrocomp EML 200 (flutes) + Roland CR-8000 (squirrel heartbeat) on undated cassette tape
video upload by Cfpp0
"This is an excerpt from an undated and unlabeled cassette tape from 2020 or 2021. EML 200 with a short envelope into its spring reverb, plus a kick drum from the modded Roland CR-8000 we used to have. I imagine a squirrel scurrying from tree to tree along the edge of Lake Waramaug. The video cuts right when the CR-8000’s congas kick in and the recording stops making any sense."

""SUIKO ST-20 is extremely rare and most strange Japanese electronic musical instruments originally made for Japanese traditional music circa. 1980. and this one is very rare version of SUIKO ST20 with recording function it's built in cool brown custom suitcase like EMS synth, keyboard itself is built in beautiful brown metal plate.
Features:
Oscillator - The ST-20 uses a single analog oscillator with 3 tone options - Shakuhachi (Japanese Flute), Koto (Japanese Harp) & Pipe Organ.
It is monophonic with a top-note priority.
All tones are very nice warm analog sounding.
There seems to be a subtle vibrato on some tones which may be adjustable internally.
Would easily be circuit bendable if you want to get some more interesting sounds!
Octave switch - There is a switch to raise the register up and down an octave which is useful for recording bass and lead lines.
Register Select - The top dial is to shift the key register up and down, giving you the option to solo your favourite scales over any key you like. It also allows you to create even higher or lower register notes than the octave switch allows.
Sustain - There is a sustain switch to toggle between a short pluck sound or a long drawn out release. The koto sound is not affected by this switch, it seems the tone circuit was designed this way. You would also be able to circuit bend your own sustain control for dialing in the sound you really want if that's your style.
Volume Dial - A sweeping volume dial located at the bottom left of the unit.
Fine tuning - There is a switch for shifting the pitch very slightly in quarter tone increments. It becomes sort of 'Microtonal' in a way. You can also use this to do a little pitch bending too.
Scale switch - There is a small switch just above the key buttons which seems to change the pattern of the way the notes are configured. Currently it is set to the Japanese scale but you can play around with this if you like.
Speaker - The speaker goes very loud and sounds lovely.
Output - There is also a direct mono output for headphones, this could also be used as a direct output for connecting straight into your DAW or recording setup.
The keyboard module is connected to the speaker cabinet via a 5-pin 'MIDI' looking cable. This is not actually a MIDI cable, it simply just communicates with the power/amp board which is located inside the speaker cabinet.
The unit halves are connected by two hook hinges so you can pull them apart and use them"
