Korg Rhythm 55 Drum Machine

via this auction
"There are 6 knobs for the volumes of each set of drum sounds: Bass drum, Snare, Cymbal, Hi-Hat, Toms/Conga, Rim/Cowbell/Claves
One of the best parts of the Rhythm 55 is that there is a trigger out (+5 volt) that will trigger most analog synthesizers, and other analog drum machines or modules, like a Tama Techstar. There are 4 different settings for how many pulses it sends per measure, and one setting that sends a pulse any time the kick drum hits. I tested this out, splitting the voltage, triggering a Korg MS-10 and a Tama Techstar TS204, and it sounded awesome. With this drum machine, there are endless musical combinations you can achieve triggering other analog gear."

KORG Vintage Poly Ensemble P Keyboard K-4

via this auction

"Often also named Poly Ensemble or K-4 was build from 1976 to 1979/80 it is often mistaken as being little brother version of the Korg PE-2000. But this is not like this! The parameters available, the technic inside and of cause the sound are very different. Its main feature compared to nowadays keyboards is its full polyphonic structure. That is, each and every key will make a sound at the same time (if needed). No voice stealing on long release time notes. It is build like so many keyboards of this time in a suitcase like box with a detachable lid."

Magnus Electric Chord Organ harmonium accordion synth

via this auction

"This is a relative rarity I believe. It has one voice, which sounds just like a harmonium or an accordion. It is electric, you have to plug it in. It has a built-in internal speaker and no provision for a separate output jack to put it into a mixer, though I suppose it would be easy to hook one up, we've always just miked it. It has 12 chord buttons on the left - push down and get the chord. The list of chords on the bottom row is missing but they are obvious and if you want to you can place separate little stickers there. The case is made out of plastic and has several scratches as might be expected. The bottom is made out of particle board and has three screw-ins (one is missing) where legs used to be - it no longer has these legs but they would be easy to replace if you desire as the screw-ins look to be standard. We always have used it on top of a desk or QuikLok light-duty table. Everything works - buttons sound chords, all notes depress and play. A very psychedelic sound, especially if you run it through a phase or tremolo pedal." Update via Greg in the comments: "No internal speaker. Runs off of pure air that comes from an internal fan. Just like an accordion."

The indecisiveness

YouTube via attorks | July 16, 2010

"Again a long improvisation of which you see the first half in this video. After the introduction you hear 2 sequences. The Synthesizers.com Q960 is shifted by the gate of row 3 of the Doepfer MAQ16/3 which has an 8-step sequence with steps 2, 4 and 8 off. The Q960 drives the Synthesizers.com Modular which is also transposed by an 4-step sequence on row 2 of the MAQ16/3. The self-built Modular is driven from row 1 of the MAQ16/3 which has an 5 step sequence but the gate comes from row 3 of the MAQ16/3. The strings are performed by the Roland XP-80 (CS imitation) and the Clavia Nord Lead 1. The Waldorf does the random tones, chords and basses. The solo is performed on the Creamware MiniMax ASB.

You can see the full 20 minute video on my website soon.

"More music on umop.com/parallax.htm

This is an amazingly huge and beefy synthesizer. I am selling it for a friend of mine, but not until I've had a couple of days to play with it! It is the thickest, wettest, fattest synthesizer among at least a hundred that I've owned & played over the years. When I turn up the Cutoff 100% with the Emphasis at zero, the sky rips open and writhing Lovecraftian demons descend upon my condo complex, raining down javelins of sonic plasma into the fabric of ultimate blabbity blabbity you get the idea.

This is an auction demo so there's a few dry moments here and there where I'm autotuning and testing all 67 keys chromatically, but I kept it shreddy enough to hopefully entertain my faithful subscribers for a few minutes."
