Custom White Roland JX-8P w/ PG-800

This one was spotted and sent in via M Me.

Description in Googlish:

"CustomRoland JX-8P + Roland PG-800 + Roland M-16C Cartridge + Printed / Bound Owner's Manual.

Eprom OS 3.1

This JX-8P was in terrible condition when I got it (see last 4 photos), held together with wood screws, large scratches all around and a lot of rust on the front panel. Had 6 broken keys and the pitch bender was hanging loose.

The wood screws destroyed the inner bracket mounting holes that held the side panels together, so I had to drill these out and replace them with 5mm Allen screws, which looks pretty cool and gives the synthesizer back its stiffness.

Sanded the entire synth to bare metal / plastic to remove any remaining rust and scratches. On the bender panel, I filled in the holes drilled by a previous owner to hold the pitch bender.

Gave it a professional paint job in a contemporary light industrial gray that matches the buttons of the PG-800 and the industrial look of the JX-8P.

The PG-800 is built by myself with the original firmware / eprom. Potentiometers are from Alps and the knobs are from Sifam.

I made the graphics myself and are screen printed aka screen printing.

I bought an extensive screen printing kit so I can now print any design on any surface. I am satisfied with the result.

All keys have been cleaned and polished and the keyboard plays perfectly and the aftertouch works fine.

Also the light scratches on the display removed with a plastic polisher and that now looks like new.

All tacticle switches have of course been replaced with new ones :)

Getting this JX-8P back to its former glory was a lot of work, but I have to say it looks better than the original imho."

Custom Black Alesis Andromeda A6 Analog synth

"If you are looking at this you know what a beast it is. This one has had the Thomas Heck reface which i did myself. It's not perfect but does make the synth look smart.

It is in perfect working order, now and again the pots jump a little as these synths have a want to do but with a little clean up that would easily be fixed. The screen can be locked also.

Cosmetically it has quite a few imperfections as i used to tour with it. It has been around the world and done some massive shows! It was serviced by Alesis about 8 years ago and since then has been retired to my studio. I have 2 of them and 1 has to go hence the price which is an absolute bargain!"

MUSICAID SIMMONS SDS IV DRUM SYNTH (ADD-ON FOR SDS3) SN 4081

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"MUSICAID SIMMONS SDS IV (ADD-ON FOR SDS3).

Very rare indeed. I believe only 500 were made.

This came as an additional / optional add-on to the slightly less rare Musicaid SDS3.

It was repaired last year after having been stored away (safely) for many years.

The paint work is slightly bubbled in parts, but it's not terrible.
The board is not corrosion free, and I don't see any signs of rust present on the case.

The slider caps and knobs have been replaced (with non-originals, as we couldn't find any!) as the originals had disintegrated or were missing completely.

It's in working order. I'm not using it much, so I'd like for it to go to loving home where it will get used more."

Black Corporation Xerxes SN 1839

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"'This is a near mint Xerxes. Comes with original box, rack ears, and materials.

The only reason I don't list it as mint is because it came from Black Corporation directly with a tiny mark which you can see in the photographs. I point at it with a pencil. THIS MARK IS ON THE REAR or TOP (however you choose to describe it) so it would not be visible while playing, nor when racked.

The Xerxes is perfect in EVERY other way. Black Corporation designed this synth after the Elka Synthex. It has DCO's just like the Synthex and the 3-way analog chorus is also from the Elka. My bandmate has a Synthex at his home and it sounds very much the same. But frankly it also has a bit of Juno in the sound. This is likely due to the DCO's and chorus - which sounds amazing."

Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 Rev 2 SN 1091 w/ KENTON MIDI & Dust Cover

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"THE MYTHS:

As an owner of both a rev2 and two rev3s, let me just say:

1) They are most definitely different, more noticeable at certain settings..any prophet 5 is an outstanding synthesizer - no one would dispute that..
but some are more outstanding than others - it's not mojo, I spent a long time with my two synths together in my studio.

Ok, so the above still may sound subjective.


But here's something any professional will confirm:

"SIRIUS - CHICAGO BULLS THEME SONG": THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT Mini Cover On Korg Prophecy Solo Synth

Microflat

"This video will demo the legendary 3-octave Korg Prophecy solo synthesizer (25 years old) by use of four default patches in a mini cover of The Alan Parsons Project's major 1982 hit "Sirius" from the superb album "Eye in the Sky". A great instrumental song that NBA basketball legends Chicago Bulls used as their theme song back in the day when Michael Jordan was the central force.

I used patch 'A20 Studio Mog 2' for the intro bass, 'B21 Clean Fuzz!' for the first lead pattern, "B45 Trance Arpegg!" for the second lead pattern and 'B36 Re-Bong Strings' bass support. Phew, almost like a Jordan, Pippin and Rodman arrangement by Phil Jackson. With a twist of Minor Key.

Video clips were recorded in 4K (60 fps) on a Panasonic Lumix GH5 and edited in Adobe Rush. Audio was recorded in 96 KHz 24 bit on a Solid State Logic 2+ thunderbolt 3 audio interface straight into Propellerhead Reason 9. FX like a bit of reverb, echo and mastering was added in post-production in Adobe Audition."
