YAMAHA EW-20 Wind Jammer Electronic Woodwind Synthesizer AC100V EW20 INSTRUMENT

via this auction

Another odd and rare item. I believe this is yet another first to be featured on the site. I found an old video of one below.

"Vintage electronic wind controller and sound module with midi cable. Controller has choice of fingerings: one similar to saxophone, the other similar to recorder. Sound module has 64 voices (no polyphony). Unit has reverb, automatic transposition, octave switching, vibrato/pitch bend, and pitch control from A438-445.

Manual available on line at www.house of synth.com, search for Yamaha EW-20."

Kawai XD-5 Drum Machine Digital Synthesizer Percussion Rock/FX ROM Voice Card

One of those obscure items from synth history. This is the first one to be posted on the site. Via the listing:

"I used this in my Kawai XD-5 drum module a long time ago and have since sold it, which I regret because it was a great sounding unique programmable drum module which sounded awesome....especially with its resonant filter which responded to velocity

I was hoping to buy another XD-5 at some point, which never happened, so I am not using this card anymore and it is of no use to me without an XD-5... so, If you have an XD-5 it could be useful to you.

It is a Sound Source Unlimited ROM card 'Rock/FX' Performance Voice Card with presets on it...64 single patches, 16 Kits and 16 output patches...if I remember correctly"

"The Unit Face and Readout are in Nice Shape. The Metal Case has some moderate scratches. No Structural Damage Noted. Missing One (1) Control Knob on the FM Adjustment as Pictured. Unit Powers-up and the Function Buttons APPEAR to Function Properly. When received the LED Readout was Barely Readable so I searched online where it was suggested to do a Reset to Factory Settings. While I was trying to figure out how to do a Reset I ran across the LED Contrast Adjustment and Changed it to a "3" Setting. No Other Changes were Made and the Settings and Additions made by the Previous Owner Remain Intact. The "FM" Adjuster which is Missing the Knob Does Change the Values in the Readout when Adjusted."

Alesis Ineko FX Pedal Demo w/ A Synthesizer #11 [unboxing?]

Published on Jan 8, 2019 gstormelectro

"Audio and Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2019

This is the fabled Alesis Ineko effects pedal. Hasn't been out of the box in a while, time to unleash the Kraken. It's like the culmination of all the algorithms that appeared in Alesis modfx effects pedal series. It doesn't look like much, but it is very tweakable and has a few surprises. Like a lo-fi playground for happy accidents. Today I want to share w/ you what it sounds like on synthesizers, drum machines and stuff like that."

Synced it up to a couple of my Pocket Operators for more sounds. hapiNES is a Nintendo inspired synthesizer. PO-20 Arcade and PO-28 Robot in the mix."

MOOG vintage analog Sonic Six 6 demonstration

Published on Jan 8, 2019 OFR

"Since I enjoyed doing the older Sonic V so much, I decided to do something on the later brother, the Sonic 6. I plugged it into a mixer for better quality than the little onboard speaker. I think these are very underrated and highly capable of making wild sounds; MUCH more like a modular Moog than anything sold as a small commercial synth."
