"Vintage ARP Avatar modified for modular use, like a mini 2600. Overall it's in good shape, it was converted to a modular synth with the patchbay kit from Retroactiv Synthesizers. At that time it also received additional maintenance which included
Faders cleaned and lubricated
Power supply re-capped
All tantalum capacitors replaced
Currently it has an issue with VCO 1 not producing signal (hence the low price) the rest of the synth functions normally, I don't use it often and would rather sell it than get it repaired."
"Hi friends! I'm just trying out the Brian Eno patches on the Volca FM (http://dxsysex.com/SYSEX_DX7/Guest/En...) with some cool effects. I mapped the knobs of the Volca FM to control the amount of reverb, shimmer and delay. This only works with the midi out mod ( [below] )There are 4 patches that comes in the ENO FM7 cartridge. My favorite was the init patch though XD"

"Rendition to one of the most influential disco tracks ever.
Recorded at first shot, therefore some mistakes can be found.
Gear used:
Emu Emax: Filtered lead (sampled from the JP8000).
Roland JP8000: left hand bass sequence (yes, I like to suffer playing live :) and right hand triangle lead/ saw solo (done my own way).
Roland Promars MRS-2: Bassline (triggered from Pro Tools, so I could tweak faders and knobs)
--- Backtrack previously recorded on Pro Tools including:
--- Arturia Jupiter 8V for the arpeggio style background sound).
--- Casio VL-1
Song composed by Pascal Languirand.
Performed here by DX5 Jose Maria Bara."
"This is another episode of PURE ANALOG here with VERMONA PERfourMER. Only single voices are used not all 4. I did not use FX as all the other on board FX of the synths that are being played hier in PURE ANALOG which is a project to find out and show the qualities of analog synthesizers and eventually also hybrids. And exciting Question is also how contemporary synths like this lush GRP A-2 or EREBUS NYX compare to vintage legends like MINIMOOG or ARP ODYSSEY or ROLAND JUPITER 4 etc. So this piece will be played and performed with different synths in the future track by track recorded in DAW without any equing or otherwise processed in DAW, no add modulation, reverb, saturation or other FX. Only a mastering compressor, EQ and Limiter is used on the sum. So what you hear is completely un-FX-ed material -- almost impossible to find these days!!!"
