Yamaha DX5 1985 Stage Used by Oingo Boingo "Live at The Ritz"?

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. Oingo Boingo Live At The Ritz 1985, NOT 1987 (Reupload) [Best Quality]

video upload by sombody

Anyone spot the DX5 in the video above? I'm not seeing the telltale wood side panels unless the lighting is just off. That is a Yamaha on the stand to the right of the Sequential Circuits Prophet 2000. Amazing band live. I used to see them at Magic Mountain back in the day. Them and Sparks seemed to perform there multiple times every year.

"Lucky to have found this one after the first upload mysteriously disappeared. Contrary to popular belief, this show is from 1985 and not 1987. At the start of Weird Science, Danny says "here's a song we did for a movie this year". Weird Science was released in 1985. There is some evidence that other songs such as "Gratitude" were performed here but any video footage of it has been lost, so it isn't here.

Tracklist:
00:00 - Dead Man's Party
6:13 - Who Do You Want To Be
9:31 - Just Another Day
14:35 - Grey Matter
20:00 - Stay
23:26 - Weird Science
28:10 - Goodbye, Goodbye"

"An amazing synth with a cool history! This DX5 was apart of Oingo Boingo's touring rig during the 'Dead Man's Party' era. As seen being played by Michael Bacich in various live performances most notably 'Live at the Ritz'. The gentleman I bought this from purchased it around 1989 from a used shop in L.A.. He played it for a couple of years, then threw it under his bed for about 20 years. I purchased it in 2016 and have lovingly cared for it since.
There are some various scratches and dings throughout the keyboard and a couple of dips in the wood, but overall is in great shape for the age and touring history. Road case is heavy and will cost a bit to ship.

Recent upgrades and maintenance work includes:

-Removing each key and soaking in soapy water
-Replaced upper and lower key felts
-Replaced all electrolytic capacitors in PSU
-Replaced 2 tantalum caps in CPU board
-Replaced CPU battery
-Realigned after touch sensor
-Adjusted after touch trim pots
-Installed new OS EPROM, removed/added jumpers for one IC operation (originally used 2 ICs)
-De-soldered both ribbon connectors from original display, and soldered to new OLED display
-Installed new display"

BUCHLA @ Moogfest 2019 - Explorations by Bill T Miller of Orgy Of Noise

Published on May 22, 2019 Bill T Miller

"- Marc Doty of Buchla USA at Moogfest 2019 was incredibly cool and let me plug in my digital recorder and Sheri shot a bit of iPhone video on last day of Moog Marketplace. Marc had the Buchla 200e all patched up so with a lot of heart and a bit of grey matter I explored Doty's presets and tweaked and prodded about with a naive quest seeking further dosed out trip into ORGY OF NOISE atonal abstract weirdo sonic realm.

- Touching the Buchla at Moogfest brought back memories of seeing and meeting Don Buchla & Nannick Buchla @ Wellesley College Boston back in 2014. - See photos: http://billtmiller.com/buchla

YAMAHA DX7IIFD Synthesizer 1987 + GREY MATTER E! | HD DEMO

Published on Dec 15, 2016 AnalogAudio1

"(c) 2016 by AnalogAudio1

Demo of the YAMAHA DX7IIFD digital synthesizer (frequency modulation synthesis) from 1987. I played it along with a Dynacord DRP 20 (reverb) and sometimes with a Korg SDD-3000 (delay).

The DX7II(F)D was the successor of the classic DX7 from 1983. This unit has the GREY MATTER E! expansion board installed, which was produced in the USA from 1987 to 1989. Even today it adds a lot of useful, additional capabilities to the DX7II(F)D/S. You get 256 RAM memories for patches, 8x multitimbrality (like the Yamaha TX802), chord memory, arpeggiator, a 16-track pattern sequencer (much like the Ensoniq ESQ-1's sequencer) and assignable sliders (assignable to most parameters of the sound engine - frequencies, envelopes, feedback level, operator output levels...).

Without a doubt, this expansion is a 'must have' for real DX7II fans."

Yamaha DX7 IIFD with E!

"The Mark II version is a major step up from the original DX7. The DX7IIFD models added bi-timbrality with keyboard split and layering capabilities. This allows two voices to be layered in dual mode, providing very rich combinations of sounds that would otherwise be impossible with the original DX7. Voices can also be split across the keyboard, for a two part multi-timbral performance capability.


Grey Matter E! Upgrade (a rare $399 expansion card)

What, you may ask, can $399 get you for your shiny black FM machine? Would you believe eight-voice polytimbral capability? Would you believe a four-layer performance mode? Would you believe one-key control of arpeggios, ostinato patterns, and multi-timbral chords? Would you believe a 16-track sequencer? \

Engine is E's 16-channel event processor and operating system, which controls all of the DX's MIDI and performance functions. Its capabilities include storage of 256 patches and 128 performances, 16-channel MIDI mapping, and two auto-accompaniment modes. To top it off, you can store any setup (auto-accompaniment, MIDI maps, sequences) as a Performance, so a single DX button can be programmed to load everything you need. It will even load a file on the DX7IIFID's disk automatically. The other main modules in E! are Octal and SE!quencer."

Grey Matter - Reaktor 6 - Experiment by Richard Devine

"GreyMatter - Big Kick Drum and created using the 'Machine Gun.ensemble' playing slow at 60 BPM, then layered with the 'Newscool.ens' for the clap in verb type sounds. Tiny snare and hi-hat made with the 'SineBeats2.ens'. The high spiral/phas'y noisy effects where all from two instances of the 'TG-8H' ensemble. The knocking wooden sounds in space are from Rick Scott's 'sampleThrasher_v1.ens'."
