"Roland CMU-800R Analog Synth / Drum machine. Very rare to find one of these in this condition, complete with the Apple IIe software and interface card. It has a Bass Channel (mono), Lead Channel (mono), Chord Channel (4 note poly), and Drum Channel (TR-606 drum sounds). It also has 8 Channels of CV(0 5.25v, 1v/octave) out and 8 channels of Gate out (0-12v), which would compliment the CMU-810 sister synthesizer or other analogs using CV-Gate. This particular unit was found in the basement of a music school with another flawless unit, some confused person had marked on the box sound mixer. I had hopes to MIDI retrofit it but never got around to it. I've listed links so you can listen to how the machine sounds, I do not take credit for any of the music or film in the links. The particular unit for auction is NOT in any of the videos and audio clips, I've listed them for audio demonstration only. For those who are interested in MIDI retrofitting this synth, the video by deftaudio demonstrating this machine in action with the MIDI retrofit installed. He offers the retrofit for sale."

"Ocean" : Alpha Juno-1/D-50

YouTube via TheSynthFreq
"Hi. This is a chilled out composition written for the Alpha Juno-1. The lead sound is a modification of the E-guitar patch that I have programmed for it. This new lead patch is mono with mild portamento effect added for texture at the attack phase of the sound. The release phase of the patch is also modified to add length to the sound after the key is released. Since it is mono, it can not become over saturated with distortion when playing notes consecutively, the release time only takes effect as after touch.
Synths used: Roland D-50- strings/pads Roland Alpha Juno-1: Lead patch Yamaha Motif-6: DX-7ish tines/chords (1 track) Yamaha QX-3: not used
Please enjoy. :)

:) TSF and her synths."

Casio RZ-1PLUS Drum Machine Circuit Bent Mod

YouTube via kenzie2029
"If you want to skip the explanation and hear what it does, skip to around 4 min.

This is the Casio RZ-1 Plus version. This is Casio stock version of this type of mod:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBvcXl... [below]
The kits are acoustic, electric and Latin. The number one best feature about Casio version is that its has four banks of sample memory giving you the ability of sampling 16 sounds.

The bends and mods to this drum are similar to this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVLQ0O... [below]
I painted this one white, redid the text, added wood panels, and upgraded the materials used.

Has a 30 point RCA patch bay that short circuits three of the eprom chips for a total of around 480 possible patches (if I did my math right). You can patch with in the chips and chip to chip. In addition to the patch bay there are five input / output on/off switch section with toggle switches and momentary buttons. Each toggle switch also has an LED indicator.

I also added a switch to bypass the RZ-1s main timing crystals with two getlofi 1799 precision oscillators to allow for some great pitch control. These also have LED indicators.

I've added 10k pots on the top to easier access the samples tone control. Also, I replaced the internal permanent soldered battery with a replaceable one.

Drums in the song you here are also the RZ -1

Also, tucked deep in the lab is a Commodore 64 that I'm working on."

Casio RZ-1 Drum Machine Circuit Bent Part 2 Finished

YouTube via kenzie2029
"Casio Drum Machine Circuit Bent Part 2 (Casio RZ1 RZ 1 RZ-1)

Has a 24 point RCA patch bay that short circuits three of the four eprom chips. The different chips are for certain samples, so some patches effect only certain sounds. You can patch with in the chips and chip to chip. In addition to the patch bay there are four input / output on/off switch section with toggle switches and momentary buttons.

There is now a switch to bypass the RZ-1s main timing crystals with two getlofi 1799 precision oscillators to allow for some great pitch control. I still have a little bit of tweaking to do with some different pots and resistors.

I've added 10k pots on the top to easier access the samples tone control. Also, I replaced the internal permanent soldered battery with a replaceable one.
