"A truly historic piece of synth and studio gear – a Roland SVC-350 Vocoder, serial number within the first 10 units ever made, manufactured in 1979. This is not just another vintage vocoder – this is a museum-grade piece of Roland history, and among the earliest production vocoders ever released by Roland.
🔹 Ultra Low Serial Number – CONFIRMED among the first 10 off the production line.
🔹 Made in Japan, 1979 – The debut year of the SVC-350.
🔹 Fully Analog Circuitry – Rich, smooth, and unmistakably vintage vocoding tone.
🔹 Professional Rackmount Format – Built like a tank with beautiful brushed aluminum faceplate.
🔹 Used by legends – Kraftwerk, Laurie Anderson, Herbie Hancock, Eurythmics, and more.
🔹 A true collector’s gem – Extremely rare in this condition and with such historic provenance."
"These MC505s are getting old! With their age a lot of the original Roland displays are losing lines, missing digits and being overall in a state of sadness. This one on the other hand is feeling better than ever! It's got a new a display and its gotten a general service from our in house technicians. It's working great and looking better!"
"The results of my first couple of weeks with the Teenage Engineering OP-1. It’s a complete 360 from the sequencer heavy workflow of the Elektron boxes. Spiced things up with some FX from the Roland P6 and Source Audio Collider
I remember the first time I saw one of these 10 years ago, I thought it looked like some sort of retro futuristic magic device. I didn’t know anything about synths, but I wanted one so bad. But the price! As I continued to learn more about the synthesizers, the price barrier grew. This thing started to seem like a complete rip off.
Now, thanks to an unexpected trade offer, the Teenage Engineering OP-1 is finally in my possession. My thoughts: worth the wait… and the price"

Rest in Peace Ozzy
One of my favorite tracks.
Mr. Crowley by Ozzy Osbourne from the album Blizzard of Ozz (1980)
Featured the Moog Minimoog, the Logan String Melody II and the Roland VP-330
This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers."
This Patch named "SM Lush Analog Keys" will be included in Explorations Volume 2, this one really shows how rich and full the OB-X8 can sound. Sometimes Less is more, and this patch keeps things simple but just lovely and not achievable on every synth with such depth. This is exactly why I love this synth so much!"
