The Korg Polysix Synthesizer from the year 1982 is a great polyphonic analog synth. For the most people the rival of the Roland Juno-60 but the sound character is very different. The P-6 sounds more like the 70s. Here can you find the full Polysix playlist with single sound demos and one synth demo tracks. Enjoy."

Bad Gear - Casio RZ1

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Casio RZ-1. Is this classic 80s drum machine and sampler the holy grail for nailing the vintage sound of early De La Soul (Three Feet High and Rising), Wu Tang Clan (The RZA), Daft Punk and the Chemical Brothers or is it just a corny lofi beats maker? Can it stand it's ground when compared to the Roland TR-707 or lofi sampler instruments like the Roland SP-202 or Roland SP-303?

Roland TR-707 Drum Machine from 1985

"Making a couple beats on a Roland TR-707. I used this drum machine a lot before getting the MPC X but it doesn't see much use these days. I still use 707 samples pretty often though especially the snare."

Vintage Analog 1982 Roland Piano Plus SN 203597

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

via this auction

"This is a rare vintage all analog electric piano with a flexible built in analog drum machine, bass, chord and arpeggiator auto accompaniment.

I thoroughly cleaned this keyboard inside and out, and it is looking really good for 40+ years old! I repaired the audio output jack and cleaned the scratchy volume pot with DeoxIT. As best as I could, without a manual, I tested every function and Jack (except the DIN sync). Everything is in great working order! The C# and D# keys in the 5th octave are a little loose (they move a little more side-to-side than normal), but otherwise function just fine. The power plug has the ground prong removed.

This is from the era of the Juno 106 and shares many of the same parts like the enclosure and keybed (can be used to refurb a Juno keybed, side panels, some slider pots, etc...). It even has DIN sync to sync up to other Roland equipment like a TR-707 or a 606, etc... Great fun for 1st time piano learning and also for Roland collectors."

"This unassuming beige module contains a 4 part multitimbral synth which is identical to the Juno 106 albeit with voices shared across three timbres (Bass, Chord and Melody). The Melody section has 2 voice polyphony and 100 presets; The Chord section has 4 voice polyphony and 100 presets; Bass section is monophonic with 20 presets. Rhythm section features 11 PCM sounds which are from the TR-707. Presets are accessible from the front panel while each part is fully editable over MIDI i.e. using one of the many Juno 106 editors. Rare white version. 240 volt unit. In great condition with one non-stock fader cap (Dynamics)"

Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Roland TR-626. Is this budget 80s drum machine worthy of the Roland TR legacy and can it hold up with legends like the TR-808, TR-909, TR-707 and TR-606? Is it as bad as the TR-505, the worst vintage drum machine of all time? Can the crunchy 8 bit lofi samples be used in modern music production?
