Me checking my E-mu EMAX (DM keyboard)

YouTube via DX5.

Some INXS in the intro.
"This is my new E-mu EMAX. Just checking the library. I start with ARCO STRINGS original emax disk. Then, some third partner disks. Some sounds remind Depeche, others Pet Shop Boys, etc...

This sampler was used by Depeche Mode, at Music for the Masses age (later they switched to EMAX II on Violator). Below it, a Yamaha DX7II FD; so that set is exactly the same that Alan Wilder and Martin Gore played on 101 Pasadena live. (Of course, the same without the depeche samples and the midi triggering pads :) )"

Wiard Joystick

via this auction
"The Wiard Joystick Controller provides two joysticks (with CV output), two manual triggers (for manual start of envelopes or sequencers), a custom vintage voltmeter, two patchcord converters and the unique style common to all Wiard products.

The Joystick Controller is a must-have for anyone using their modular system as a performance or recording device."

This unit will work with all analog modular synths. The CV range on the joysticks is -15 to 15v. Although I include the power supply, please note that this unit does not come with any housing. It can be rack mounted, but the wires in the back are exposed."

Build a Better Music Synthesizer by Thomas Henry

via this auction

"THE highly coveted bridge between beginner and advanced electronic musicians, "How to Build a Better Music Synthesizer" by Thomas Henry.

I've never seen a book of this subject (or remotely this subject) cover all the ground that needs to be covered to build your own analog synth.

Written in 1987 before the true digital age of music, this book was like a gift from god among a very particular group of people."
