1985 E-MU Systems SP-12 Turbo 8-Voice Sampling Percussion Drum Machine with Case
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this Reverb listing
"E-Mu SP-12 with the Turbo Upgrade in Very Good+ condition, fully functional, and just received a $747 professional service by Advance Musical Electronics in LA — recapped, recalibrated & performing like new.
Originally a standard model with 1.2 seconds of sample time, it’s now upgraded to the Turbo edition with 5 seconds via brand-new RAM and OS (Version 2.6) chips.
Made in Santa Cruz, CA USA.
Highlights:
Boots instantly with internal RAM – no floppy boot loading, no lost work if you forget to save.
Skip the floppies: Modern tools like SP12 Librarian & EMXP make sample management easy via computer.
Lo-fi sampling tricks double or quadruple sample time with pitch shifting — that signature SP sound.
Slightly higher sampling rate than the SP-1200 (on paper) and stock ROM sounds built in.
More unique and rarer than the SP-1200 — only produced for a short time.
Ideal for hybrid setups: use the SP as a sequencer and sound shaper, with a rack sampler for long samples.
Looks cooler, sounds amazing, and (IMHO) it’s better than an SP-1200 for less than the price of one."

Eko Ritmo 12 (Italy, 1982) - Vintage Analog Drum Machine Rhythm Box
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this Reverb listing
"The Eko Ritmo 12 has, as the name suggests, a selection of 12 preset rhythms to choose from. The machine also offers Intro and Fill-in breaks for each of the 12 rhythms.
The rhythms are selected by 6 black switches arranged in a 6 x 2 format. All of the switches have built in red LED's to indicate the rhythm selected.
The rhythms encoded in memory are:
· Bank 1: Waltz, Tango, March, Swing, Ballad, Bossa Nova.
· Bank 2: Cha-Cha, Beguine, Samba, Rock, Disco 1, Funky.
The sound quality of the voicing of this drum machine is very good, especially the Snare, Hi-Hat, Cymbal and Cowbell!
Eko was the Italian brand that produced many legendary instruments. The Company was based in Marche, Italy, in the same area where Elka, Elgam, Farfisa, Crumar, Jen, Siel, Solton, CRB, etc. were born.
This is your chance to get your hands on a super rare drum machine made in Italy!"

Sakata • DPM-48 Digital Drum Machine w/ MIDI Upgrade SN 521323

via this Reverb listing
"Sakata DPM-48 Vintage Drum machine
Made in Japan
Released 1984
220v
with MIDI kit updrade installed.
Rare musical instrument developed by Sakata, later distributed by Hammond. This digital drum machine uses same technology as Linndrum with samples on eproms. The MIDI kit (developed by FPB Synth Germany) is freshly installed for the sale.
Unfortunately, I lost the RAM card a while ago, so the pattern memories and internal sequencer are not usable… This said the MIDI kit upgrade allows you to control the drum machine from any device including modern sequencers!
So, you have access to the 22 samples via MIDI + you can trig manually at the same time.
Sounds are internally spread over a stereo field (stereo output), you also have independent mono outputs and a phones out . Of course you have the volume fader for each voice (8 sliders) and a general volume knob. So, a nice flexibility for studio environment.
Great sounding drum machine, punchy and pretty unique samples — the cymbals are really interesting. You know, 8-bit unsigned PCM sounds but realistic for the time… it delivers a great vintage flavour. As eprom based, you can totally custom your instrument. The sounds here are stock. One of the eprom has been cloned by FPB too."

Big and playable - Tobinski Sequencer & Expander
video upload by Stazma
"Today we are going to check out one of the most advanced analog sequencer on the eurorack market: the Tobinski Sequencer & it's Expander.
I'm a sequencer nerd and this one does have feature I've been dreaming of since quite a while, mostly having multiple channels (four here) that can be clocked independently from each other, multiple parallel voltage outputs and on board switching."

KORG NTS 3 kaoss pad Editor and Controller, as VST and Standalone
video upload by mller30161
"Here is my ‘KORG NTS-3 kaoss pad Editor’ to control the NTS-3 from a DAW or Standalone.
The editor has two interfaces, one contains all the controllable settings of the NTS-3 and the second has only the controls that are important for live control, with a large x-y pad and x-y controls with which you can precisely set the x-y values or record an automation.
The advantage of my editor is that you can quickly adjust the effect settings in the NTS-3 kross pad and have an overview of all the settings.
With the random function of the editor you can create new and surprising effect combinations.
You can save the Editor settings as Presets and use them again quickly if required.
The 100 factory programmes are also available as editor presets.
The KORG NTS-3 kaoss pad Editor are available for:
PC: As VST2 and Standalone for 32bit and VST2, VST3 and Standalone for 64bit Windows.
MAC: As VST2, VST3, AU and Standalone, compatible with MAC Intel and Silicon.

Multitimbrality Comes to Supercritical Synthesizers Redshift 6
Redshift 6 - Multitimbral Techno Tweak video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers
"We are super excited to introduce multitimbrality — it makes the Redshift 6 more than six times more powerful than it already is.
On this demo, we put the Redshift 6’s new multitimbrality feature to the test.
The multitimbrality is currently in beta testing, and this demo uses the beta firmware. The firmware is available on our Discord server. You can join our Discord to access beta versions of the firmware, discuss technical details and development of the Redshift 6, and share demos.
The Redshift 6 is six-part multitimbral, and the new multitimbrality feature makes it possible to assign its six voices in various ways.
The voices can be split into traditional polyphonic keyboard zones, layered across multiple parts to play simultaneously, or, for example, used as six monophonic parts. Thanks to the Redshift 6’s paraphony, these monophonic parts can also be used to play chords.
This demo was recorded live using the Redshift 6’s main and auxiliary outputs. The Dub Chords and Reso Chords were recorded in stereo from the main output and AUX 1. The bass line and noise were recorded in mono from AUX 2.
When the parts are panned left and right, the Redshift 6’s three outputs provide six mono outputs, allowing each of the six parts to have its own dedicated output.
All the synth sounds in this demo were recorded live from the Redshift 6. The drum and FX sounds are samples, created using only the Redshift 6. These samples were sequenced in a DAW after the live tweaking.
We are attending Superbooth 2025 in Berlin. If you're coming to the event, stop by and test the Redshift 6. You can find us at Bungalow B020 in the Bungalowdorf."
