Wersi Model EX 20 MIDI Expander - Digital Synthesizer

via this auction
"This is a digital MIDI synthesizer without the keyboards. This unit will expand your keyboard instrument and it's capabilities into a new dimension of sound and features! With the EX 20 Expander, you have added virtually eight additional keyboards to your present instrument which can be controlled through MIDI from your present instrument, a sequencer, or a computer. This Expander is perfect for not only the keyboard player but also the Hammond or theater organ enthusiast. Not only does this unit have bank after bank of sounds, you can also create sounds with it using the drawbars.

I purchased this unit new and have hardly used it. Its capabilities are beyond my skill level. I have used it connected to a church organ that has MIDI and also a computer with MIDI. It has only the normal wear commensurate with its age. The unit comes with its power cord. The cartridge inserted in the lower right-hand portion of the unit does NOT come with the unit. These RAM and ROM cartridges will be auctioned off separately as they work with other Wersi digital instruments. The Wersi EX 20 MIDI Expander has significant capabilities even without these cartridges." You can find the seller's other listings here. Update: You can watch video of another one here.

"It seems like every time I sit down in front of my Buchla, I work with it for a while and think, "This is so cool! I need to do a video of this." The problem is, the rest of the world may not think it is as cool as I think it is :^)"

Poll: One Pic Per Post?

Update: if you caught this post earlier, I was debating whether to limit posts to one image or video with a link to the full post for the rest. The site would look more streamlined and could be quicker to load, but it could take away from the current look and feel of the site. Another option that came up in the comments would be to just have the more link for posts that are a bit long, like auction posts with tons of images or video posts with multiple parts. I wasn't sure I wanted to sign up for that as it could become a bit of work considering how much does go up, but it might not be that bad after-all, and it would keep the general look and feel of posts currently on the site. That said, there are three polls below. An updated poll with this option, the original closed poll, and a poll on site performance. Note I added the "Click for more" link to a couple of posts including this one on the main page. Take a look and see what you think.

"Here are some (impressionistic, or crappy) shots from last nights Goldfrapp show at the Hollywood Bowl. Taken by holding my iPhone up to a spotting scope. The second keytarist is a girl, unfortunately I couldn't get both players together in one shot. Great show"

"It’s modest, but fun. I’m using my Moog CP-251 to send CVs into my Korg Mono/Poly and Polysix soft synths from my Moog Little Phatty via an Akai MPK49 expression input and Ableton Live 8. Also sending MIDI sequences out of Ableton Live to my Moog MP-201 Multi Pedal, converting to CV and then into a Moog MF-107 FreqBox and MF-105M MIDI MuRF. Also, sending CVs (LFOs, S&H, etc.) into an Alesis Micron through its expression in."
