"SIEL DK-80 rare Stereo vintage keyboard synthesizer (Italy in 1985) with original power supply, pedal controlles and operation manual, everything in great conditions. Amazing poly synthesizer with digital controls. It is also bi-timbral with a split keyboard mode giving you 2 polysynths in one keyboard! 2x six point envelope generators, 2x 24 dB/octave low pass VCFs, 2 LFOs, 12 voices - 2 DCO's (sine, sqr, tri), 1 pink noise generator. Another great feature is a 2-track realtime sequencer, MIDI In/Out/Thru and a NICE built in Chorus!"

"What is it? MiniDexed is a high-performance FM synthesizer that replicates the sound of eight DX7 instances, delivering the iconic tones of the TX816 and TX802. Designed to run 'bare metal' on the Raspberry Pi, MiniDexed operates without the need for a Linux kernel or operating system, ensuring efficient and seamless performance. It is assembled into a custom made case, 3D printed. It’s ready for immediate use and compatible with any MIDI keyboard or sequencer featuring MIDI out. By default, its eight modules are assigned to MIDI channels 1-8, but these settings—and more—can be easily customized using the intuitive menu. Used just 3 hours: I had bought it just to compare it to my vintage TX816. I loaded the same sounds in either synth (yes, it loads by MIDI the DX / TX sounds!) and compared A/B. Simply UNBELIEVABLE.

"Step into synth heaven with this vintage Ensoniq ESQ-1—a true hybrid legend that blends digital oscillators with warm analog-style filters for a sound that’s as rich as it is raw. From lush pads and biting basses to shimmering leads and textured sequences, this 8-voice polyphonic powerhouse still holds its own in any modern studio."

"The A4 is an incredibly powerful mono synth that sounds divine. Has incredibly versatile and in depth amount modulation capabilities and sonic potential.

I'd recommend looking at the online specs to get a full run down of this but it has two multimode filters, 3x gorgeous sounding VCOs with 1 and 2 having sub VCOs, A unique 16 step sequencer, two LFOs, a sample and hold module, and the list goes on."

Missing | Fender Rhodes Electric Piano and Kawai SX-240 improvisation


video upload by MIDERA

"The other night - I learned about the Yamaha CP-70. Now I want one. They sound so good. I can't usually play acoustic piano on my main floor because my kids are around and I'll be distracted. I can't play at night because they're sleeping - so I kind of wanted an acoustic piano in my studio... Of course, from what I hear, the CP-70 is very big. It seems like it's about the same size as my rhodes, but deeper. I would probably have to part with my Rhodes to get the CP-70. I'm not sure what to do....

On another note, yesterday I started to realize that I'm embarrassing my daughter. I was dancing with my younger daughter, and my older daughter wanted nothing to do with it or me. It was a realization that those fun days making her laugh, dancing with her, playing with her, are coming to an end. It made me really sad.
