You can find demos of one in previous posts here.

"This unit is new/ never used. It is not 'in box' because they do not come in an official box.

Power is from mini-USB cord.
Output is 1/8 jack.

In 2018, a few hundred of the original Ellitone were produced and sold.
In fall 2019, a few hundred more were produced, in a different-looking chassis.
Due to limited availability these are hard to find! Many synth sites have covered this fun, original synthesizer. ALso, check you tubes for what it can do.

This has a handful of functions, plus a cool way to patch the functions.

Too much modulation to describe here. Search the web for description.
but here is a bit:
Eight oscillators.
Six wave forms.
Different sequencer patterns, with different speeds and rhythm choices.
Etc."

"'Sweet dreams are made of this' - well, thats what The Eurythmics thought in 1983....and just about everybody else thought so too eg Chaka Khan, ELO, Queen, Prince & Earth, Wind & Fire... Only 800 were ever made twixt 1979-1981, by Oberheim (Santa Monica, Los Angeles, USA)<> the first of the series OB-X>OB-SX>OB-Xa>OB-8. The legend evolved from that day on, and 40 years later, all these models still see of all competition. Why? Uncomplicated operation, tuning stability, supply of spare parts (no silly superchips) and (mostly) THAT fat (phat?) Oberheim sound. There is nothing like it......raw subtractive analogue synthesis....they look so cool, so studio cred is top drawer, you what? Any muso will faint when he sees an OB-X, especially one that works properly....... This particular synth has been recently serviced by a top US workshop. The hand-crafted wooden end-cheeks give it more class. It has had MIDI fitted. The keys are "unclunky", and all trigger every time. It tunes up & stabilises if simply let be for 10 minutes on fire-up. There is a Z80 microprocessor that automatically maintains tuning henceforth. It has (the max) eight voices with mono or stereo outputs. It has polyphonic glide, 8-voice mono unison, noise, sample & hold, p/bend & mod levers, saw, or square waveforms (which can be synced), independent tuning for both VCOs (with de-tune) & lots of modulation possibilities, 32 patch memories ....just find any patch, hit EDIT, and make your own. The memory protect on/off switch is safely tucked away inside. Sustain pedal actually works as it should (they usually do not!). ...one included in package. Copy of original manual is supplied....vital for operation. Voltage can be switched twixt 120V o<>230Vac, in 5 seconds."

"Fantastic Two Voice - fully working and excellent shape. Warm, thick, lush and inspired - there are sounds and patterns that had eluded me until i really got the sem coupled w/ the sequencer - it's really intuitive and guides certain sounds straight away. This has the later sequencer (1977) w/ the pitch quantize option that snaps to pitch, which can changed to free run w/ an internal jumper. It's been professionally serviced and calibrated and is fully operational. I had the i/o panel on the back updated to be a mirror of the cv/gate in/out for module one as well for full control of either voice, in or out. there is a little wear on the case and some pitting/oxidation on the chrome - see photos."

Korg DDD-1 | Outstandingly fun drum machine!


video by Espen Kraft

"The Korg DDD-1 drum machine from '86-87 is one of the better drum machines you can get from the 80s. It has a Kick and Snare that can rival the Linndrum and it has awesome specs throughout.

The demo song is made up from drums of the DDD-1. I programmed two patterns that just alternates in Song mode, on repeat.
Then I programmed the chord pattern on the Korg SDQ-1 sequencer and set that to drive/sync the DDD-1 through MIDI sync. The SQD-1 has two MIDI outs so the other played those chords on a Korg EX-800, the module version of the Poly-800.
I played the synth solo with the same sound off the EX-800 and I played the bass from the Korg DW-8000. Since this required three hands, I multitracked it all. The SQD-1 was clocked/synced directly from the DAW and put in external MIDI sync. That way the multi tracking was always on the beat.

In the demo I have processed each of the drum sounds individually to sound the best, so these are not the dry sounds out of the DDD-1. What's the fun of that?

The demo song is shot on VHS tape, with a Panasonic M7 VHS camera from 1987 and the footage is edited down in Adobe Premiere Pro on a 720p timeline."
