When I started making music about 30 years ago, I didn't have any space in my old apartment, so I only bought space-saving rack synthesizers. One of the first devices I bought back then was the Waldorf Microwave. Here's a little demo track with self programmed sounds I made back then. I've never released it before."

"This is a great JD800!
It has a replacement keybed so you'll never have to worry about the red glue problem that these all eventually fall victim to.
It's got a few scuffs and scratch on the display but overall it's in great functional condition."

"This is vintage 1977 synthesizer by Korg. With manual and cards (15). The button for Synth 2 does not work. Or at least I don’t know how to use it. It turns on and synth 1 works. One little button on the slide pad is missing the top piece and the wire upright music rack is gone."

Bad Gear - NO ONE understands this! & It's UGLY

"Today, however, we are going to talk about K2000. This range of Synth/ROMpler/Sampler hybrids was originally brought to the market in 1991 by Ray Kurzweil, a completely overpowered mega brain who went from being Stevie Wonder ’s custom shop to looking forward to merging with AI by 2045. No one understands this.
