Note: This only works with G2 instruments: G2, G2X and G2 Engine.
It does not work with prior Nord Modular hardware."
"A vintage demo flexidisc for the Baldwin Fanfare Deluxe home organ."
Update via Milo Johnson in the comments: "I used to sell these at a Baldwin store in Daytona Beach back when they were new in the late Seventies, and as surprising as it might be, this was a monstrously good instrument that I would love to own today. Forget the "Fun Machine" rhythms and one-finger accompaniments, the actual sounds of the organ section, string section, and and in particular brasses, were fantastic. And I'm NOT an organ fan to begin with so for me to offer any kind of praise like this is way out of character, but this was a really complex, deep, and forward-thinking instrument and the last of the big Baldwin organ series made before they went to digital microprocessor instruments. I didn't notice any performer credits, but just listening to it I'd be willing to bet this was Baldwin demonstrator Bill Pedrick who played for this demo and Bill could make these things sit up and do tricks, truly a tremendous player that attracted customers to the store whenever he dropped by. Thanks for posting this!"

The Waldorf Q Keyboard produces an AKAI-AX80-like string sound. The first solo comes from the Clavia Nord Lead 1 and after that the volume is turned up for the Creamware MiniMax ASB which is also controlled from the Clavia keyboard. The Roland XP-80 produces a Mellotron Violins sound."
"Favorite Hardware Predictably it has to be my euro rack modular, two years ago I would have said the DSI Evolver, but the modular has eclipsed that. Patching is akin to playing chess, or raking a sand garden, it’s a blank slate with a kazillion options and if you manage to explore every option just swap out a module with another one and suddenly you are back to option 1 with a kazillion to go, oh and it sounds good too. The resurgence of modular synthesis has to be an indicator that humanity is getting better."

"Polivoks had been produced since 1982 by Formanta electronic factory (one of the biggest at the time); it was sold exclusively in the USSR. Polivoks has its own particular electronic parts, reliable keyboard (49 notes F to E) made in magnetically controlled contacts; synthesis modules consist of independent boards, which is convenient for maintenance. The synthesizer has 2-voices polyphony; each oscillator works with a keyboard note independently; two types of filters - bandpass/lowpass and external input for cutoff control. In addition, Polivoks is housed in an original body of uncommon design with handy controls. Being closed with a cover, the synthesizer turns into a strong aluminum case.

YouTube via JohnLRice. follow-up to this post. "his is just one minute of my previous peice "Spirits Of The Temple Electric" stretched out to be four minutes long. The images and music play four times slower although I kept the audio pitch the same. Please see the notes on the previous peice for more infomation.
There will be a third installment coming soon subtitled "Still Waters" and will be a selection of some of the better still captures of the previous peice with probably a new soundtrack.
