"This Roland TR-808 has the Kenton MIDI retrofit which allows each sound to be triggered via MIDI. The Tenori-On layer used here is in Bounce mode which is one of the more fun modes to experiment with. Each note sounds when its light bounces against the bottom row of the Tenori-On."

"Demonstration of sounds produced by Simmons SDS-9 Drum Synthesizer for eBay auction. Dry Mono sound from the Simmons, no FX. This is a MIDI loop from a PC sequencer and a simple soft synth bass sound provides a context for the Simmons sounds. There is a lot of variety to be had in the snare drum using the filter, resonance and pitch and filter enveloping. This is with the stock Simmons snare sample, nothing fancy. It is possible to burn your own eproms for the Snare and Rime/Sidestick sounds. The bass and toms are static in this video although there are lots of posibilities there too, especially with the toms."

Arp Odyssey Vintage Synthesizer

via this auction
"Odyssey Mk III (Model 2820)
* The Mk III featured the new 4075 filter design. The rest of its specifications are virtually identical to the Odyssey II except that the overall look and quality are further updated to match the look of the latest ARP synths with the orange and black "Halloween" color scheme. It also used a unique ARP pitch-bender design called the PPC (Proportional Pitch Control), where three pressure-sensitive buttons are used to control bend up, down, and vibrato; older Odysseys used a simple knob for pitch bending.
