Concertmate Analog Drum Machine MAYBE FOR SALE

YouTube via electricpony
"Called the "Electronic Accompanist Metronome", made in Japan for Radio Shack.
This is one of the most clever designs I've ever seen for a pre-programmed drum machine. Has only five buttons for different patterns but by selecting different combinations you can make a wide variety of patterns."

SunSyn 2.0 Update

via swissdoc:

"Hi Matrix,

this text is from the "Products 2008" flyer from JoMoX as distrubuted during Frankfurt Musik Messe:

'Later in 2008, we will bring out a final firmaware upgrade for SunSyn. It will add some important functions as Midi Wave import by Sysex dunp and some other improvements in OS like better autocalibration functions and better Midi performance. It will also address the system stability and offer a stable firmware bios that won´t be able to crash and frustrate our valued customers. A processor update is required, too, and so it´s neccessary for existing SunSyns that they will be shipped to Jomox or to an authorized service station in order to install the hardware upgrade.

This also implies that this update is not for free, but it will offer years of trouble-free enjoyment of this wonderfull sounding unique bolide synth.'

Casio CK-500

images via this auction
"Casio CK500 BOOMBOX SYNTH w 2 Tape Decks & Radio. It is a Casio MT-65/68 with twin tape decks and a radio! And what is so special about the MT-65? Nothing much, except it is THE definitive 80’s Casio - a mighty beast with full accompaniement options, the full gamut of vowel consonent generated tones, ability to modulate the vowel and the consonent tones against each other to create new sounds and the finest reverb that has ever graced a home keyboard."

If you look at this bottom image you will see there is a switch to select either Radio, Tape, or Keyboard for Function. Anyone know if that means you can only play or rather hear one option at a time? I always thought you could play along with the radio or tapes if you wanted to.
