"This is an organic wonderful sounding analog monster. Instead of making complex circuitry to share and manage limited voices (4,6,8 etc,) Korg instead put dedicated oscillators onto every note. The result is 60 note polyphony. It has a unique way of shaping the sounds which makes the process of sound creation creative. It’s also very rugged and really never needs any servicing but in the unlikely event something did need servicing it’s the simplest task to open it up. 4 screws and the top folds back (on a hinge). 4 screws opens a front panel which allows each of the oscillators to be individually tuned. 5 screws and the keyboard pops out exposing everything."
You can find demos of the Baldwin Fun Machine in previous posts here. Note, I don't believe this is the one in the latest demo just posted here as only this older video is included in the listing.

A music box recorded on to cassette tape and played back at half speed and normal/original speed. Playing back at half speed results in an octave lower pitch.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION: Samples: – Sample rate: 48 kHz – Bit depth: 24 bit – Channels: 1 (mono) – Number of files: 52 – File size: 50.40 MB Impulse responses: – Sample rate: 48 kHz – Bit depth: 24 bit – Channels: 2 (stereo) – Number of files: 4 – File size: 3.60 MB
USER INTERFACE: Instrument – Velocity and damping: – Velocity — Determines whether the velocity should affect the volume of the samples – Damping — When damping is off, the sample will continue to play after you release the key (like a music box) — When damping is on, the sample will fade out quickly after you release the key
Mixer – Volume: Mix between the normal speed samples and the half speed samples. They also have independent tremolo controls.
I’m happy to share with you information about the upcoming jam session event of the Swiss Synthesizer Meeting.
This year we will perform in a very cool venue with a high-quality audio system: the Gran Rex Auditorium in old town Locarno (Ticino, Switzerland).
The jam session will take place as usual in two parts, with 1-hour pause in between. During this break the musicians will get some fresh air, as well as be available to answer questions from the audience about the world of synthesizers.
For the whole duration of the event it will also be possible to take a look and play half a dozen rare synthesizers: Theo Bloderer (www.greatsynthesizers.com) will exhibit some of his treasures and of course be open and available for questions and exchange.
Let’s go then! Come and see, hear and meet us at the Gran Rex Auditorium on 23. September 2023!

This is a movie that follows the creative crew that is Instruō. In 2023 the company travelled to Berlin to present at the Superbooth trade show/festival. At the time of these captured events, the expanded team at Instruō numbers 20+ personnel. Pretty much the entire crew goes to Berlin as we show off who we are and what we make. This is a look behind the scenes of a Eurorack modular synthesiser manufacturer as they present at the world's best Synth-show!

"This 'documentary' is the beginning of a new form of content that I'm (Jasōn) working on in parallel to the endless stream of new instruments that we're developing. It's a long time since it was just myself working solo back in the early days of Instruō (~2016). I now have the privilege of working with some of the most fun and creative people I've ever met. We collaborate now as a creative coop. My hope is to showcase more who we are, what we're doing and how things work at the workshop here in Glasgow. I've always been a fan of behind the scenes content so my plan is to open thing up a bit to showcase my collaborators and what they do inside and outside of roles at Instruō" ~Jasōn
