Linn Drum LM1 Drum Computer SN 045354

via this auction

"This vintage drum machine is certainly the best analog drum machine ever. Only 400 or 500 of them were made.

Musicians like Prince, Michael Jackson (on Thriller), Human League, Herbie Hancock and Kraftwerk used the LM1 in their music.

To my knowledge only one LM1 was sold on ebay (worldwide) last year. The vintage / analog synthesizers dealer to whom i have bought it 12 years ago has never see another one in his life. For the record he has checked it a few days ago before i put it on sale on ebay).

The Linn LM-1 Drum Computer was created by Roger Linn and he used samples of acoustic drum sounds. At the time, they sounded great and much more realistic and they were a fresh alternative to the analog drum sounds of the '80's drum machines. Patterns can be created in real or step time. An innovations of the time was the swing and quantize functions that appeared on the LM-1. The LM-1 is an historical synth that has a place in the sound of music from the heart of the '80's."

MIDI Designer Sequential Subcontrols

What are Sequential Subcontrols?
Published on Jan 3, 2013 MIDIDesigner·24 videos

"Shows how sequential subcontrols work (MIDI Designer 1.4.3).

"Stemmed from a need with the Miniak. It's got some controls where the negative range is NOT contiguous with the positive range. So you need two knobs to do it. Hence, sequential subs.

The Lushprojects Treasure Chest Synth

via Lushprojects.com

"A synthesizer built in a miniature treasure chest. What could be nicer?

"The synthesizer has a LushOne Base and a LushOne Contour module. These provide:
Main oscillator with MIDI or voltage control
Two Low Frequency Oscillators
Analog Filter
Analog ADSR envelope
Voltage Controlled Amplifier
Ring Modulator
The components can be patched together to create many different effects.

The biggest challenge was how to mount the LushOne Contour board in the lid of the box. It just fits but has to be fitted in with the sloping sides of the box..."

SN 8115112

via the listing: "Chick Corea's Personal OBXA. I purchased this synthesizer from his road manager. He told me Herbie Hancock played this unit live as well.

It comes with a wicked touring Anvil case.

As far as I can tell it functions really well. It also seems very well maintained.

I am currently waiting to get it tuned up locally by EPR Electronics just to keep it properly maintained, but figured I will list it to sell in the meantime.

It has the midi upgrade.

The presets were been whiped clean before the sale to me. I left his taped notes on the unit, which can easily be removed without damaging the unit."

Oberhreim Electronics OB-Xa SN 813319

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

via this auction

"The OB-Xa is a polyphonic Synthesizer with up to eight voices. Each voice inside the OB-Xa is a complete synthesizer, with two Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs), two Voltage Controlled Filters (VCFs),a Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA), and two Envelope Generators.

The voices are arranged in two groups of four voices each, refered to as the Upper Voices and Lower Voices, respectively. Each group of voices gets control signals from its own associated control cirtcitry, which also contains the Low Frequency Oscillator for each group. There is a control circuit for the Upper Voices, and a second for the Lower Voices. Both control circuits are controlled by the OC-Xa's onboard computer.

It is a computer that looks at the keyboard and the front panel controls, and then communicates the appropriate information to the control circuits and to the voices themselves.

This particular unit has a MIDI kit installed. (see pictures)

This particular unit is missing one CM 3340. (see pictures)

The voices need tuning.

The keyboard assembly needs cleaning. (Some keys cut in and out)

Dubspot First Look: The Propellerhead PX7 FM Synthesizer In Reason 6.5

Dubspot First Look: The Propellerhead PX7 FM Synthesizer In Reason 6.5 w/ Chris Petti
Published on Jan 3, 2013 DubSpot·384 videos

"More info: http://bit.ly/S6YtYw
Recently Propellerhead approached me about designing some sounds for a new FM synthesizer in Reason. As you may recall from some of my previous video tutorials, I showed you how to create an FM synth out of several Thors and a Combinator. The purpose was to demonstrate how to get some of the more modern, edgy FM sounds that we associate with dubstep and electro.

Although my method for creating FM sounds this way worked, Propellerhead have made this easier now with a new FM synthesizer engine, the PX7, now available as a Rack Extension for Reason 6.5. The PX7 is a true six-operator FM synth with some dazzling math behind it, resulting in a replica of the Yamaha DX7, the first commercially available FM synth from the early 1980s."

The first two minutes is a processing loop with a KP3, then you will listen all the letters of the alphabet in three different heights, normal (2:15), high (4:20) and low (5:55) I left a space between letter and lyrics for ease of handling."
