Kurzweil 250 and a Giraffe

This officially marks THE FIRST Synth Giraffe post EVER! Update: Make that the first post to inspire a label. Looks like I had it's baby here.

via Pea Hicks of Optigan.com, for sale on Craigslist San Diego.

"Here's your chance to own a monster keyboard - that originally retailed for $13k - at a tiny fraction of that price! $500 (or best offer).
Anyone seriously interested in this item is probably already well-versed in its history, but you can find out all about it here. This particular K250 works fine and has the A, B, C and D soundblocks installed. Ideally the keys need to be reset/rebalanced, as the action is a little uneven, but all the keys work. There's one missing slider cap, but this doesn't affect performance. The original stand, pedal/ power supply unit and manuals (not pictured) are included. The little Yamaha monitor in the pic is NOT included, but is available seperately if you're interested in it. Due to the size of this item, I will NOT be able to ship it. It's available for pickup at my house near downtown San Diego."

"Here is an A6 and JP8 duet that just happened straight after I turned them on one day, and started playing - happy accident :)

A6 does the sequenced thing, JP8 the weird lead"

TR-707 Classic House Tracks (vol 1) - Harlem Nights Music


YouTube Uploaded by harlemnightsmusic on May 28, 2011

"This time, tributing early house tracks of 1986-1987 era, based on the Roland TR707 drummachine.. As always, all tracks selected and recreated by ear. None of the original tracks were sampled.

All TR-707 & additional TR-727 and TR-808 beats were rebuilt on a Korg Electribe SX sampler (no stock sounds). Basses and some synth parts were loosely remade with my analog synths (see below).

Tracklist:
Rick Astley - Never gonna give you up (707, 727)
Michael McDonald - Sweet Freedom (707, 727)
Taylor Dayne - Tell it to my Heart (house mix) (707, 808)
Mr Fingers (Larry Heard) - Washing Machine
Rick & Lisa - When you gonna (707, 808)
Jungle Wonz - The Jungle
Wired - To the Beat of the Drum (707, 808)
Marshall Jefferson - Move your Body
Phuture - Your only Friend
Joe Smooth - Promised Land (707, 727)

Similar beats are for sale @ www.zenhiser.com/1980 series.

Synthesizers used:
Sequential Prophet VS (pads), Moog Source (most basses), Roland Juno 60 (Mr Fingers, Wired, Phuture), Roland S10 sampler (M1 piano), Korg Polysix (Promised Land), Yamaha DX200 (When you gonna), SCI Pro One (Wired bass)
