what do you think would happen if there were no classical computers?

Rare Black Prototype Akai VX-90

"Akai VX-90 Very Rare Rack Mount Midi Module. This is a very rare piece of gear. It is the the prototype of the cream 2 rack unit VX-90 that went into production. An easier user interface for programming then the production model. I don't think you'll see too many of these around, I've never come across another one in over 20 years. Definitely one for the collectors."

Googlish:

"Such instruments are very curious what the sound will be issued? Cicadas called? Deciduous sound?"

Not quite driftwood yet actually, but there you have it.
