via this Reverb listing

"This ORIGINAL 1979 New Old Stock / NOS Yamaha CS-40M Data / Demonstration Cassette Tape. Offered for the first time in the history of the internet, so most likely a once in a lifetime opportunity.

And even better; sinds it's NOS. It is UNPLAYED. Be the first to hear in 45 years whats on it! Sinds its a unplayed NOS item, I can't guarantee the quality of the content and I have no clue whats on it, so sold AS IS. I think its the factory patches + some demonstration/introduction, but can only guess.

Comes in the generic protection box as shown on the picture, to extra protect the tape during shipping.

A true collectors gem and adding great value to your beloved mighty CS-40M. Be the very happy new owner."

"Vintage Cordovox Model 0612 Organ / Synth from the 1970s in fair condition. Astro sound effect is not working and it is a half step out of tune. All presets work along with the bass, and vibrato. It has an internal speaker that is terminated via 1/4 out. Has a cool sound especially through effects."

Sequential Circuits Prophet T8 Vintage Analog Synthesizer

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this eBay listing, also on Reverb

"The Sequential Circuits Prophet T8 is a flagship 8-voice analog polysynth renowned for its luxurious wooden keyboard with fully assignable polyphonic aftertouch, giving unparalleled expressive control over each note. Combined with its flexible modulation routing, rich analog tone, and premium build quality, it’s a dream instrument for players and sound designers seeking both power and nuance.

The synthesizer is in good cosmetic and functional condition. Factory presets have been loaded. One pot and two knobs are not original. The keybed action could benefit from restoration (new foam/felt, adjustment) as it feels a bit clunky and the lowest black key is sticking. However, it's still quite playable and all keys and pressure pads work. Voices are in tune and sound good."

Roland S-1 | Synth Sound Design

video uploads by Mark Young

Playlist:

1. Roland S-1 | Synth Sound Design Basics Tutorial | Master the S-1: Ep. 1

This is the first video in my series on mastering the Roland S-1. In this episode, I cover the essential sound design features of this powerful little synth. Future videos will dive into advanced sound design, creative jamming techniques, sequencer tricks, and anything else you’d like to see.

2. Roland S-1 | Advanced Sound Design Tutorial | Master the S-1: Ep. 2

The S-1 has a hidden super power: Custom Waveforms. Using the oscillator draw function you can input your own custom waveforms to create new sounds you wouldn't expect from a mini-SH-101 clone. I have a few that I use all the time and I wanted to share them with you. I hope you enjoy!

3. Roland S-1 | Sequencing Tutorial | Master the S-1: Ep. 3

The Roland S-1 sequencer isn't the most advanced, but it offers a surprising amount of utility for its small size. For me, the S-1's sequencer is a quick and effective way to capture ideas and jam, in ways that even more advanced synths and grooveboxes don't always inspire. I get a lot of enjoyment from punching in patterns on the S-1 and using the tips and tricks I show in this video to create tracks and explore new ideas through jamming.

4. Roland S-1 | Voice Modes Tutorial (Poly, Chord, Unison, Mono) | Master the S-1: Ep. 4

The Roland S-1 has four voice modes which can be used for different sound design purposes. I received a lot of requests to make a video on the chord mode functionality, so I figured I would expand it out and cover all of the different S-1 Voice Modes. I'll dive into each one mode and give some ideas for how to use them, with emphasis on chord mode. Let me know if you have any questions!
