Machinedrum Gakken Acid Jam

YouTube via darenager
"Poor Timmy wanted a TB-303 for Xmas to go with his shiny new Machinedrum, but his mummy could only afford a Gakken SX-150.

It looked like Timmy was doomed to playing out of tune stylophone cover versions, instead of the funky fresh acid of his dreams.

Then one day whilst getting his acid fix on youtube, Timmy discovered that all was not lost, and that the Gakken may work out after all......

Timmy, you owe me a beer."

OBERHEIM OB-8

via this auction

"This is a relative of the OBXA. The pros are the MIDI and the fact that the OB8 has a killer Arpeggiator. Both of which the OBXA did not. I have both an OBXA and this OB8. The OB8 sounds a little more Hi-Fi and elegant than the OBXA... cleaner like an Xpander. I've always found myself using the two as two different sources. I'd never say one is better than the other."
