"Crumar Spirit one of only a couple hundred made, some people say only a hundred were produced but the serial on this is a bit over a 100. This comes with the original carrying bag and is overall an excellent 9/10 condition and still has a new feel to it, just a couple minor blemishes here and there it's not perfect but stunning to look at and play... To me the sound is like a modernized minimoog with a splash of pro one and roland sh. I really like the synth and it has a very unique sound, the filters are incredibly smooth and the synth sounds really good in modern music but still has a great vintage sound to it."

POKEY sound chip experiments

YouTube via hotchk155. Anyone else remember that tune?
"The Atari POKEY was the classic soundchip in the Atari 8-bit home computers and many 1980's arcade games. This clip shows some of my experiments in driving a POKEY from MIDI. A PIC receives MIDI data and two 74HC595 shift registers are used to assemble the 12 lines of bus data for the POKEY so it can be driven from a humble 14 pin PIC16F688. A 6N139 isolator is placed between MIDI in from PC and the PIC's serial input. The POKEY is clocked at 2MHz from the PIC's internal clock output.

I am using REAPER to sequence some MIDI files I found on the internet. Credit goes out to the authors of these MIDI files.. also to YouTube member little-scale, whose clips inspired me to poke about with the POKEY in the first place, and Bryan Edewaard, whose crib sheet I could not have done this without."

CoolColJ Alesis Andromeda A6 Roland Samples

I was recently chatting with Mr. Array of Ocean Orbit about the Andromeda A6. I remembered some samples by Co0lColJ that did an amazing job at emulating classic Roland sounds. The A6 has two filters, one modeled on the classic Moog and one modeled on the Oberheim SEM. You might not expect the A6 to be capable of Roland timbres. You can the find samples here. Note all drum sounds are the Andromeda as well.
