"Roland MKS-80 Super Jupiter is an 8-voice rackmount analog synth based on the Jupiter-6/8. The only MKS module with true analog VCOs, delivering classic, big Roland tone. Essentially a Jupiter-6 in rack form with added HPF, low-boost VCA, and extra punch!
Includes M-64C Memory Cartridge, AC power cord and proprietary programmer connecting cable."
"In this video I demonstrate my super simple way of setting up the Oxi One to sequence a drum machine. I also show a more advanced way of doing it by using pattern templates.

I managed to set up a temporary working studio in a spare room so I can work while I build the new proper studio
Luckily the Neve survived the enormously traumatic move to the new place!
I've spent the week patching up the patch bays and FX units and mic preamps and monitor speakers - and re-learning the mysteries of MADI and MIDI routing"
"Oberheim TEO-5 synth review, sounds & factory presets, and tutorial demo. The Oberheim TEO-5 is a modern, compact 5-voice analog synthesizer with signature Oberheim sound and many sound design possibilities. In this Oberheim TEO 5 review, I provide an overview of the TEO5 synthesizer, demo sounds and presets, and conclude with my final thoughts."
"In this video, we explore a fascinating piece of Italian musical heritage: a rare hardware clone of the Alpha Syntauri, likely part of the Jen Musipack project.
This specific setup features the (probably) cloned Mountain Computer cards. It’s a rare look at how this technology was adapted and distributed in Italy during the early 80s.
The Hardware Challenge:
I actually own the original Musipack keyboard, but due to its age, several keys are currently non-functional. To make this demonstration possible and play the system properly, I’ve paired the Italian hardware with an original Alpha Syntauri keyboard unit. It’s a perfect example of 80s cross-compatibility!
Same issue with the original Musipack Software which is no working correctly with the keyboard.
The Creative Process:
Sound Engine: Original Alphaplus software (Additive Synthesis).
Hardware: Music System digital oscillator cards (Jen Musipack clone of the original Mountain Computer).
Control: Original Alpha Syntauri Keyboard.
Recording & Sequencing: All sounds were captured and sequenced using the 1010music Blackbox (Bento).
The result is a unique blend of 8-bit grit and modern sequencing. The Alphaplus software allows for deep manipulation of harmonics, creating textures that range from cold, clinical digital tones to surprisingly lush, haunting pads."
Alphaplus made its first and only prior appearance on the site back in 2011 in a post fearturing Audio Damage's Phosphor.
According to Google AI: "AlphaPlus was a pioneering software package for the Apple II-based alphaSyntauri synthesizer system, enabling additive synthesis in the early 1980s. It allowed for polyphonic sound creation by stacking sine waves (harmonics), featuring 10 instruments, and providing deep manipulation of partials to produce distinct,, digital, or, lush, textures, as discussed on MATRIXSYNTH."
