"This unit is part of the Rick Powell Collection. Rick was a musician, a major producer and a contemporary and close friend of Bob Moog, among others, and often received original units from manufacturers to test in the studios. Rick was my studio partner up until the day he passed away and his wife has asked me to sell some of the items that were studio kept for many years.
There are many treasures in this collection and we will be adding them as they are photographed, tested and cataloged."

Happy 4th of July everyone! A few 4th of July synth vids... If you have any 4th of July synth goodness to share, feel free to comment or send it in.
Les Fradkin - Liberty (Steve Vai Cover)
"Les Fradkin, the virtuoso of MIDI Guitar, presents "Liberty" from his "One Link Between Them" CD.
Robert Fripp once remarked in Guitar Player Magazine: "There is a new music to go with this new instrument. Therein lies my interest in the guitar synthesizer. That something entirely new will appear." This COULD be it! Come have a look and listen to the MIDI Guitar sound of the future.
This is a cover of the Steve Vai classic guitar instrumental "Liberty" which was originally recorded by Steve Vai on his "Passion & Warfare" album. In this video, Les Fradkin is playing the Starr Labs Ztar MIDI Guitar in his Neo Classical Bach influenced style - two handed tapping of the famous Steve Vai composition with a shred guitar sample with feedback that has to be heard and seen to be believed! Perfectly in sync with 4th of July fireworks.
This video clip was recorded LIVE on July 4, 2008 at Rhyolite National Park in Castle Rock, Colorado at Les' July 4th live concert.
"This National Anthem montage was used in several TV stations when they signed off/on. I remember seeing this on my local stations KCOP and KABC in the early-mid 80s. Note that the Star Spangled Banner is performed on a Moog Synthesizer with brass horns. Please forgive the poor quality of this! I will re-post this clip once I find a better version.

"The MS-50 is an impressive, compact modular synthesizer. Korg thought to cram one of everything into this beast--so it has the standard modules (VCO, VCF, LFO, VCA, mixer, ADSR), but also a second AR envelope with trigger delay, S/H, ring modulator, inverter, voltage source, pulse divider (great for sub-oscillator use or dividing LFO or trigger sources), envelope follower, headphone amp, an extra VCA, a VU meter, and a few multiples. The oscillator is very flexible, with two attenuated FM inputs, PWM input, and the ability to track V/Oct or Hz/V. The LFO is similarly fully featured, with frequency and PWM inputs. Sound wise, the filter is similar to the MS-10, making the MS-50 a nice complement to the MS-20."
