ROLAND CSQ-600 Computer Controlled Digital Sequencer

via this auction

"Very nice 4 part CV/Gate sequencer with nice features and ease of use.

This unit was serviced:
- the original battery leaked like on many of these units. It was repaired and a 2032 coin battery was installed on socket for easy replacement in a few years
- Power supply was set on 240v for european countries (was on 220v. Other voltage will need a converter)
- switches were cleaned
- full calibration"

Doom approaches

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Not depressed enough about everything yet? Maybe this can help! Here's the DB-01 synth in a single take with a little help from some pedals. No other music or processing. Sampled voices are from the brilliant 1984 UK movie "Threads" a harrowing, grim and completely believable movie about the lead up and aftermath of a global nuclear exchange. There's no happy ending.

(And yes, for anyone who saw my last video this is exactly the same setup - I was noodling afterwards and this just fell out).

The Surprising Musicality of a Telephone Line Simulator

video upload by HAINBACH

You can find the post HAINBACH mentions with pics here.

"Of all the instruments in my studio filled with many obscure things, this is the one that draws most peoples attention: the vintage telephone line simulator by Axel Electronics. It looks rather disco for a piece of test equipment, with its Battlestar Galactica golden color. In this video I put it through its many surprising musical applications.

Using the "hidden" step sequencer on Akai MPC One

video upload by

"The standard step sequencer on MPC One is optimized for entering drum patterns quickly, but not-so-useful for melodies. For entering melodies, there's a better option that isn't quite so obvious, so if you don't know it yet, this video is for you.

Roland SH-4d Voice Count, Note Stealing and other questions

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Including how smooth are pattern to pattern transitions? Is the Arp Global? How are the 60 voices allocated and what does that mean in reality?

Answering some of the questions I've been asked a few times now... so maybe others are looking for the same info?

Lots of questions... and I have some of the answers ;)"

"Access Virus Rack Synth. It's the access virus classic b in a rackmount chassis. Great sounds. Good condition, and everything works, but there's some normal rack rash on the sides (see pictures). You won't see it if it's in a rack."

"The classic Orange Monster from Waldorf, the XTk. These are harder and harder to come by, and this one is in excellent shape - fully functional and cosmetically clean. Wooden end cheeks in very good shape, no real damage to speak of. Sounds amazing. Not much else to say."

"What you see here is the real deal! This is not a reissue, THIS IS IT! The one and only Fairlight CMI IIx! This unit belonged to the Bee Gees / Pet Shop Boys keyboard player Blue Weaver! This is the holy grail of Fairlights! This unit comes with some original Pet Shop Boys, Scritti Politti, Steve Nye and tons of other floppies! The Fairlight IIx has been personally signed by Blue Weaver and even has his phone number written on it! Don’t let this one slip out of your fingers, because it won’t be around for long. There are only a few working Fairlights IIx left and none in as good condition as this one! When you own this piece of history, you can truly say “I made it” We wanted to keep Blue Weaver’s Fairlight as original as possible. Any upgrades and CRT replacements can be done for free upon request if you are interested in purchasing the unit. Who knows when the next unit will show up? Personally, I wouldn’t risk losing this piece of history!"
