Follow-up to this post. Some additional details from Uli Behringer:
“These are 13 MID’s or concept documents we create for every single product as part of our PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) process before we hand them over to our R&D departments for development,” he notes. “We haven’t decided yet which of these modules we will actually produce as it is important that we achieve a certain production volume.”
“This is just the beginning,” he adds. “Our Vision is to build both legacy modules but also come up with innovative solutions which we have demonstrated with the DeepMind or the Neutron.”
We are equally excited to cooperate with creative module makers and many have already contacted us. We believe that such co-operations are mutually beneficial and I am convinced that our efficient supply chain can help these makers to get their products into the hands of lots of people. We are looking forward to meeting as many designers as possible at SuperBooth.”

"Twentieth visit to the Garden. Composed for Virus TI, Little Phatty and Blofeld"
"The twentieth piece of the HR cycle. To celebrate this number, I decided to use various means of composition. After a small introduction with the Virus TI, the first part goes on with Little Phatty solo lines, 00:41 to 6:11, with a small touch of Virus TI, 0:59 to 1:17, and some drops of Wiener Philarmonik Steinway, 5:00 to 5:53.
From that point, some Virus TI elements of the 19 previous pieces appear in a new configuration to develop at the same time echoes and brand new musical forms. It runs during the second part - with a short background call,(as a night bird call), of Doepfer coming from HR XVII, between 1:39 and 1:45. At 5:27, the Virus Ti vanishes and the end of this part is exclusively composed for Blofeld. I wanted to do something special for this twentieth composition of the HR cycle, and I will of course go on this work in progress since this issue gave me many new ideas."

Never seen one of these before. The following is the description in Dutch followed by Googlish:
"Voordat Quasimidi legendarische synthesizers uitbracht, maakten ze sound expansions voor een aantal duur segment keyboards van onder andere Roland.
Deze expansion is daar een toppunt van. 512 styles en begeleiding patches voor de E-serie keyboards van Roland. Roland heeft zelf een reeks kaartjes uitgebracht onder de types TN-SCx-xx waar maximaal 8 styles op zijn opgeslagen. Dit kastje heeft er dus 512. Deze 512 zijn opgeslagen in blokken van 8, waar via het menu telkens een andere 'kaart' kan worden ingeladen.
Ik heb zelf de E-70 gehad en er best lol van gehad. Vooral de Peter Gunn style waar dat bekende intro van Emerson, Lake and Palmer perfect wordt nagebootst en je heerlijk op kan varieren.
Dus als je nog een Roland Intelligent Synthesizer E-nogwat hebt die TN kaartjes slikt, ik raad 'm 100% aan!
De Giga-card is bij voorkeur op te halen in Zaandam, daar het een wat ouder stukje techniek is. Testen kan helaas niet want ik heb geen E keyboard meer. Verzenden is uiteraard mogelijk, maar zijn alle risico's voor de koper."
Googlish:
"Before Quasimidi released legendary synthesizers, they made sound expansions for a number of expensive segment keyboards from Roland, among others.
This expansion is the pinnacle of that. 512 styles and accompaniment patches for Roland's E-series keyboards. Roland has released a series of cards under the types TN-SCx-xx where a maximum of 8 styles are stored. This box therefore has 512. These 512 are stored in blocks of 8, where a different 'card' can be loaded each time via the menu.
I have had the E-70 myself and had quite a bit of fun. Especially the Peter Gunn style where that famous intro of Emerson, Lake and Palmer is perfectly simulated and you can vary wonderfully.
So if you have another Roland Intelligent Synthesizer E-something that swallows TN cards, I recommend it 100%!
The Giga-card can preferably be picked up in Zaandam, as it is a somewhat older piece of technology. Unfortunately, testing is not possible because I no longer have an E keyboard. Shipping is of course possible, but all risks are for the buyer."

"The XX intro [Cover] The Korg Volca FM is used for the main part, this took a total of 12 slots on the FM to play all parts, switchng between the main part which was 8 parts and the second which was 4 parts, the tricky bit was trying to keep the FM in chain mode [and sync] when switching from the 8 to 4 [which is why I only did it once!] Some heavy reverb is added the FM from the Korg Mini KP 2.
As always the track is played 'live' in one take - with no DAW, editing or post production."
"Made in Japan, for an Akron Ohio firm. Another very rare machine - they are certainly coming out of the woodwork for this auction. This has probably the worst made-up name/number I've ever seen... XX-100 would be better on a rocket ship. BUT... it is beautifully made, in super condition for its age, and it has some very appealing sounds. As usual Bossa is one of the most useable, but they are all cleverly designed, and the whole thing is definitely at the tasteful and well-executed end of the tackiness spectrum. Buttons manually playing eight extra sounds. The only thing to stop it being near-mint is that the back hinged cover looks like a utilitarian (plain ply) replacement. Very nice indeed, though."

"Sorry for crud video but hope its good enough to show what is going on.
Have a track with the Vari Effect turned up on it and the Vari effect set to 097
Talk Mod.
Go in to Edit Mode [Enter] key on number pad then press Insert [F3].
Put in the event time where you'd like it examp 001:3:011
[F1] rotary over to event type Exclusive.
Then Enter hex code f0.43.10.6A.01.02.02.00.XX.F7
where XX = 00 - 04 I think, a/i/u/e/o
Repeat insert event at different times.
Or, perhaps the faster way but harder to explain...
This is how I figured this out and you can do it I suppose with any event or
knob tweek that shows up when the Midi Out light flashes.
Put a midi cable from the RS's Out A to the In.
Select a blank tack, mute all tracks to keep from other midi data recording,
press Effect twice [#5] press REC then Play, start turning the F1 knob. The Hex
code will record as events in the events list. Press Stop.
If the events aren't changing the Vowel, remember to unmute
the track you recorded it on. You can mute and unmute it from doing it, the RS
blows my mind yet again."

FOUR INDEPENDENT MODULATION SECTIONS:
The heart of the pedal are its four, independent modulation sections synced in time, they are:
MOD features great sounding EHX Vibrato, Flanger, Chorus or Phaser. The Depth knob lets you set the amount of the effect while Feedback controls the resonance of the Flanger and Phaser.
TREM delivers tremolo, an effect that modulates the volume of your signal. The Depth control sets tremolo intensity.
PAN modulates between left and right in stereo operation. In mono operation the PAN section acts as another tremolo section, but with the wave shapes all inverted!
FILTER offers a choice of a modulated LPF, HPF or BPF. In LPF (low pass filter) frequencies above a modulated cutoff point are cut. In HPF (high pass filter) frequencies below a modulated cutoff point are cut, and in BPF (band pass filter) frequencies above and below a modulated center point are cut.
Each section also features a choice of four LFO shape options: rising sawtooth, triangle, falling sawtooth or square wave. They affect the way the modulation transitions and provide advanced creative control over the specific section as well as the way they interact with each other.

Channel Operations Menu
When on the Channels page, double-click the DATA1 encoder to bring up a popup menu containing channel operations:
Cancel: Pretty self-evident
Explode (2-8): Automatically duplicates the current channel’s sample into the selected number of channels and sets the sample and loop start and end points to successive even fractions of the entire sample. So, in effect, divides the sample into “x” equal hunks and automatically assigns them to successive channels. Great for splitting precisely edited loops into individual beats or phrases and accessing them on a channel by channel basis. It works on multiple zones simultaneously and also edits the right side if the sample is stereo.
