"An undisputed classic of beat production, the SP-1200 rivals the MPC60 as the defining instrument of Hip Hop production. So remarkably in demand, even after becoming technologically outclassed by other sampling instruments with more memory and features, they were in production and/or reissued until E-mu ran out of SSM2044 filter chips in 1998. This one is serial number 099302252, and was manufactured near the end of production, as indicated by the black chassis. This sampling powerhouse is in great shape, loads samples, and sounds fantastic. Ships in a hard shell case, and includes a copy of the manual."

"Along with the Acetone Rhythm Ace, the Maestro Rhythm King MRK-2 help put the drum machine on the map as an revolutionary instrument, with a great debt to Sly Stone. This drum machine is in incredible shape for its age, with the only odd repair of the handle (as seen in the pics). Functionally, this funk box is cracking and loud, sounds fantastic, and will chug along for years to come. Includes original cover, and the footswitch and power cable are in great repair."

Roland JP-8000 Synthesizer

via this auction

"This synth is a relic of a particularly strange and bygone era, the introduction of virtual analogue synthesizers in the late 1990s. The JP-8000 is a strong sonic contender, and while it has more than enough supersaw power for another Trance Tribute to Depeche Mode, it also can be treated as a deep tool for serious sound designers. This used synth has just been updated with a replacement battery, and all the key contacts have been cleaned. It plays and sounds great. It is missing one slider cap and has had a knob replaced, but will ship in a gig bag."

Fifteen minutes of CS80...!

Published on Jun 11, 2016 noddyspuncture

"Just messing on my CS80. Some noises and a tune. It's quite an instrument and there is really no substitute. I did notice, however that one voice card on channel 1 does need a slight tuning-in. Maybe time for the lid up soon and some maintenance... :)"

Kickstarter Campaign to Republish Daphne Oram's "An Individual Note: of Music, Sound and Electronics"

You'll find the Kickstarter campaign here.

"A pioneer and little-known visionary whose work has been a major influence on the development of British experimental electronic music.

By republishing her seminal book "An Individual Note: of Music, Sound and Electronics" we want to write Daphne Oram back into music history; sharing her vision with new generations of musicians, composers, musicologists and contemporary music lovers.

We want to establish Daphne Oram as one of the UK’s leading modern composers, but we can't make this happen without your support.

Daphne Oram (1925-2003) was ahead of her time. She was a remarkable and inspirational woman who should be recognised and remembered as one of Britain’s leading cultural and historically significant figures.

She was the first Director of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, which she co-founded in 1958, after years of persuasion and perseverance. She predicted that computers and electronics would revolutionise music decades before they became popular, and invented a new form of sound synthesis – Oramics – which was a significant step towards this revolution.

She was truly passionate and dedicated to her work. She composed a number of radical pieces such as Still Point. She lectured on electronic music throughout her career and, in 1972, she wrote her seminal book, “An Individual Note: of Music, Sound and Electronics”, which was a pioneering explanation of electronics in relation to music and sound.

When Daphne Oram first wrote and published the book, electronic music was still in its infancy. The book’s depth and its exploration was unprecedented, and her ideas and theories radical. Now that electronic music is an established and popular field, it is important that the book is redistributed to allow more people to learn and benefit from reading it.

In 2017 it will be 45 years since Daphne Oram’s book was first published. There are only a handful of copies available to access, and we want to share her story far and wide with future composers, producers and fans..."
