Poly Midi 1 Micro Sequencer

Published on May 27, 2020 deepeightyeight

Anyone recognize this one? I asked deepeightyeight and all I got was a ♥️. It looks old and familiar but my brain is not working at the moment. :)

Update: Found the following video of a white one. Apparently it's from 1984. Is the brand Micro Performance or R-Madness? Note the video is from a Dr Ralf Madness. Is this his design? Did he create a custom front panel with R-Madness on it?...
Update2: See the Micro Performance label and more will be revealed, at least on the black one. :)
Update3: and some info here: http://www.suonoelettronico.com...

It's worth noting when the Korg ARP 2600 Mini was teased, word on the street was the FS was limited to 400 units.  Not sure if KORG ever revealed the actual number.  If anyone knows, feel free to comment.

Published on May 27, 2020 StudioSoba

First one to be featured on the site. More of a preset organ than synth, but interesting nonetheless. Presets include Horn, Cornet, and Strings. Vibrato On/Off switch and separate Vibrato Full switch.

via this auction

"Super rare 1960s made in Italy portable organ electronic 3 octave keyboard with original semi-case.

It has 3 presets (Horn, Cornet and Strings) and Vibrato plus Vibrato Full.

CEI (C.E.I.) built many organs like Prestige, Carnaval and Parade and also this rare 3 octave portable named Student. This company worked close and partnered with Bauer, Noble, Porto (that made Fender Starmaster), Vivant, Farfisa, Vox. So parts and sound for it are most likely compatible with many of those company instruments.

It's in good cosmetic and working condition considering its age. All switches, knob, buttons and keys working fine. Speaker is really load and strong. Stand is missing. Few scratches on sides you can see details on photos."

"The Prophet VS uses Vector Synthesis as its revolutionary new means of sound creation. It uses a total of four oscillators per voice with 127 waveforms (32 user) and dynamic waveform crossfading via the joystick. This was Sequential's first digital synth, and it was also their final synth unfortunately."

Jasper, Matriarch et un soupçon de BigSky...

Published on May 27, 2020 Laurent Baloran

"Jasper midifié (bidouille maison) et boutons en place, la guêpe est habillée.
L'étendue du clavier du Jasper et donc étant limité (3 octaves), j'ai mis en place un renversement automatique bien pratique pour avoir en midi une plus grande étendue sans interruption, ainsi que la (dé)sactivation automatique du midi pour jouer avec le petit clavier intégré.
J'aime vraiment bien le son de la guêpe, ainsi que son ergonomie sommaire mais suffisante."

"Midified jasper (homemade hack) and buttons in place, the wasp is dressed.
The extent of the keyboard of the Jasper and therefore being limited (3 octaves), I set up an automatic reversal very practical to have at noon a greater extent without interruption, as well as the automatic (de) deactivation of the midi to play with the small integrated keyboard.
I really like the sound of the wasp, as well as its basic but sufficient ergonomics. "
