Given that Young Galaxy is a current group you might want to try asking them directly. http://younggalaxy.com/

Of course knowing the way things go the synth on the actual track is probably an OBXa, and the Prophets were just rented from some LA rental place for the video.

Roland SH3/SH3a.

He presumably means its a ROM card, not a programmable RAM card. And I would assume it will only work with a D50. RAM/ROM cards of that era were all specific to a specific line of instruments, or even a single instrument.

Wasn't the EII shakuhachi sample banned at some point as an instrument of torture?

I'm pretty sure the guitar synth was a Roland GR300.

Off topic, but videos like these make me wonder were all the Simmons drum kits are. There must be hundreds of them collecting dust in garages and basements, because for a while it seemed like any band of any note had at least 3 or 4 Simmons pads as part of their drumkit. Just like the original Stein...

Bought a DX21 off eBay some years back. When it arrived it didn't work. Opened it up, and from the looks of it there had either been a leaky battery or it had been laying in water, as the screws on the bottom were rusty and there was white stuff on the circuit board. Contacted the seller, who agreed...

Supposedly EML originally intended its instruments for the educational market, and I remember reading that one model had a hunk of cement in the bottom to make it harder for the students to steal.

I saw Megaforce in the theatre when it came out in '82. Even as a fairly uncritical 14 year old I thought some of the special effects were pretty bad, and in general it was a bad film. The theme song, by a group called 707, apparently actually made it to #62 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #13 on the M...

Haven't see one in my neck of the woods. Some of the Long and McQuades out east have them, but they've never appeared here in Saskatoon.

Wright chopped those keyboards because there really wasn't any option then if you wanted a remote keyboard for your synth. I think Jan Hammer may have been the first musician to have a purpose built remote. Rackmounting older synths fit in with the trend of the late '80s to stick everything in a rac...

How's this for a workstation?



This guy modded a Poly 800, including adding a Toshiba Libretto 50CT laptop and an Alesis Nanoverb. More details can be found here

People gig with much more expensive instruments than Minis. Check out the prices for a good, handmade archtop electric guitar from someone like Bob Bennedetto or Linda Manzer. People gig with guitars like that.

Wasn't that thing at the last NAMM show?
