Sequencer relocation

YouTube Uploaded by organfairy on Mar 29, 2011

"I have had some comments saying that my DIY projects are always very organized and tidy. This video will prove that this is not always the case :-)

I have recently made a new sequencer for my first synthesizer. But the old one is still to good just to throw out. But since I am pretty displeased with the appearance of the construction I will now take it apart and rebuild it in a smaller box.

The music is made in 1998 using the old sequencer - which is now in a new box but the electronics is more or less the same. The other instruments are Rhythm Ace drum machine, Yamaha PSS-12, Yamaha VSS-30, Casio SA-1, Casio SA-3 (with BOSS OC-2 octaver pedal), Bontempi KS-3400, Kawai MS-20 toy keyboards, Roland SH-2000 synthesizer, and Dynacord Echocord Mini echo machine."
