Lowrey Vintage Analog PORTABLE Organ w/ Sustain!
1979 USA Made Custom Modified Professional Portable Organ
Roland JD-800
1991 Vintage Knob Monster and (Easily!) Progamamble Synthesizer
• Knobs! - One Slider for each Parameter!
• Muti Timbral Capabilities
• Resonat Filters for Fat Vintage Analog and Digital sounds
• Layers for Complex Sounds
• Wide Variety of Sound Characteristics
Description: I custom modified this beautiful analogue electronic instrument to be fully protable to professional standards: Sustain Pedal, Expression Pedal, Line output (for extranl amplification, Leslie and recording etc.), speaker output (also for apssive extranl Leslie - can supply). What sets this keyboard apart form other vintage portable organs is that it offers adjustable sustain in combination with pedal sustain. Then there is an analogue beat box and play automatic for chords, bass, etc. This instrument can also produce synthesizer like sounds, as one finds an auto-bend key, percussion repeat in conjunction with sustain and more. This insturment offers large varieties of vintage analogue sounds in combintation with analogue rhythms and play automatic (detail see below). The instrument can also be played completely manually. A bass note or a chors can be layed down in aiddition. Lots of tonal and musical possiblities - too much to go into here: If I find the time I will record a demo and place it here for download.
Features:
• Vintage Analoge Circuitry - vintage electronics synth like sounds!
• Portable w/ built-in speakers
• External Speaker jack for passive external Leslie (can provde - inquire)
• Built-in 30W Amplifier with jack for external speakers - or a Leslie!
• Sustain w/ sustain Pedal for Piano style plaing
• Adjustable sustain
• Detacheable optical Expression Pedal
• Bult-in Analogue Beat Box and Play Automatic - or manual only play
• Switches clear Plastic and backlight - Beautiful!
• Modified to professional standards: Jacks for: Line out, speaker out, sustain pedal and expression pedal
Features (detailed): (All the buttons and knobs, top to bottom and left to right):
• Sliders: rhythm speed, downbeat light, rhythm volume bass volume, genie volume; Flip switches (clear plastic, colred and back lights) track II rythms (blue): Dixie, Country, Waltz, March, Rock1, ROck2, Disco, Bossa Nova, Rhumba, Latin; Left Hand (orange): Genie Bass, Magic Swing Bass, (yellow): Genie Flute, Genie Pianom, Genie Guitar, Genie, Banjo; PRESETs (green): Vibraphone, Piano, Hawaiian Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin, Accordian, (red - right hand): Trombone 16, Clarinet 16, Viola 8, (white): Flute16, Flute 8, Flute 4; Effects (green): Vibrato, Repeat, Harmony Magic, Switch: Speaker slector switch: Int, Off, Ext; Headphone jack; power switch, slider: custom sustain slider. 65 Keys: 3 Octave polyphonic intrument; 1 octave+ (loweest keyes) for bas/chord selection, plus auto bend key, chord off, and minor key; keyboard lighting; REAR: Powr chord, expression pedal input (with bypass switch to use the instrument without the expression pedal); Sustain pedal in, 1/4" Line output, 1/4" speaker output (about 30W)
Work performed to present this instument in it's current condition: I custom modified this intrument to be fully portable and added internal speakers. A lot of work was needed to fit the electronics in the framework of a portable organ. I custom modified the electronics circuitry of this instrument to provide: 1) sustain controllable by a sustain pedal, added a sustain pedal jack, a line outptut, installe da switch that allows to switch betwen internal and external speakers or to turn the speakers off; I added a speaker outrput jack, I amd ethe expression pedal detacheable and built an assembly fo rthe expression pedal. I added jacks and a switch that allows to operate this intrument with or with out an expression pedal. I completely disassembled the intrument to clean out all contacts sliders and switches, including all keyboard contacts, I re-implemented the groundign scheme for minium hum; I repaired and overhauled this instument so that hopefully it will last for decades to come. I custom modifed the framwork of thsi iinstrument so tha tthe casign can be easily removed. With the amount of work (and parts) that, went into this instument, it should sell in the $ 900 - $ 1100 range, but I decided to make it affordable - If you come to appreciate it, please feel free to donate the extra amount of money to help me retore and revive other instruments, that should be revived to provide truely unique vintage electronic sound.
Condition: The unit is fully fully overhauled and was custom modified to provide professionally usable features (seee detail). All work perfectly and sound sgreat! While the intrument is perfect it's casing is not. It looks quite nice but the wood of the case is particle board that was bloated in some areas of the back (sse picture). If wanting to spend another $300- $400 I can build a new case for it.
Lot: 1 Lowrey custom modified and refurbished portable organ, includes detacheable expression pedal assembly (shown), sustain pedal (shown - can be reversed to "hold" normally and "release" when pedal is pushed. A keyboard stand can be included for an andditional $30.00. Also: If wanted I can provide an external Leslie at additional cost for this intrumnet - • Questions / Inquiries •
Price: 575.00 This is a one time opportunity to own a truely unique vintage electronics instrument, as I do not know if I would prepare another instrument like it, due to the maasive amounts of work time that had to go into it ($900 - $1100!)

CASIO VL-TONE VL-1
Programmable Mini Synth
Description: The Casio VL-Tone was actually the first synthesizer product Casio ever launched in the early 80's. This little guy actually has quite a bit to offer for it's price: Ultra Cheezy early digital synth sounds, the famous cheezy beatbox, sound programming features and a digital sequencer! Not to mention: It also can be used as a calculator.
Features:
Line output, runs on batteries, ultra portable!, 2 1/2 octave keyboard which can be switched one octave lower and one octave higher, pre-set synth sounds: Piano, Fantasy, Violin, Flute, "ADSR" - which is the programmable section: and 8-digit number is entered to control 8 parameters each can have 10 different values for thousands of sound possibilities. The built-in beatbox offers these rhythms: Marc, Waltz, 4-Beat, Swing, Rock-1, Rock-2, Bossanova, Rhumba, Beguine. The built-in sequencer holds 100 steps which then can be sequenced with adding rhythmic one key play on top of it. The synth is monophonic. Input jack for external power adapter.
Condition: The unit is fully working and was recently overhauled: all the controls elements such as switches and sliders were cleaned and lubricated.Physical condition: good and clean, soem signs of use. The battery door is missing, but the batteries stay put when usign it, as the batery springs are quite strong - for an additional $45 I will custom craft a batteery door that will fit and work, but again: the unit can be used without the door and also has an input jack for external power.

Description:
Roland's JD-800 was the answer in response to the lack of acess to sound editing capabilities on digital synths and to re-introduce resonant filters. The JD-800 was to re-vive tweking knobs to be intuitively creative. Each function has it's own knob - a knob monster - more than 50 of them! You may consider this an analogue modeling sytnh but it's sounds are truely versitile and convincing, especially the resonant filters growl and howl like on it's purely analogue counter part! Oscillatores are based on sampled waveforms for larger variety of tones than found on classic analog synths. The JD-800 offers vast varieties of sounds characteristics due to it's 4 layer achitecture. The JD-800 produces very analog vintage sounds and brings out very complex sounds.
Great Synth for sond in both worlds: Analog and Digital - almost like a swiss army knife! Sample based wave formms and convincing growly resonant filters. Fat analog ripper sounds and amzing swirly pads - There are 4 independant layers toning at once for fat sound. The 4 layers are similar to 4 parallel polyphonic analog synths, and each layer features 2 LFO's (= 8 independent LFOs if wanted or needed) for very complex sounds - perfect for pads and Athmospheres. Layed out like an analog makes it easy to be intuitive and creative.
I had thsi sytnth for more than 10 years. Unfortunately life has bene too busy for music. - Now moving and need to drastically downsize - otherwise would hang onto it. At the time when bought I went though it completely, to clean out all controls and switches and the keyboard contacts. This is my personal synth used for serene space and meditation music (played gently and not "banged up" with the agressive-destructive hammering actions of rock music, nor the travel of giging).
Features: • 108 PCM waveforems (including basic analog synth waveforms for vintage sound!) - expandable with additional wave form card • Resonant Filters to process all wave forms • More than 50 knobs / slider to tweak in real time • On board digital effects processor • Single or Multimode - extrmemly fat sound or use multitimbral • Expandable: Add Wavefore or Data Cards • Much more - This is a very capable complex yet simpl eto poperate and play synth!
Condition: Gently used. Fully working - Great condition.
Lot: Roland JD-800 synth, original manuals, power cord. Great condition!
Price: $575 in it's current condition, or $699 if I go through everything once again to clean, lubricate and de-oxydize all of it's controls once again (no apparent defects, but probably should be done again, as last done 10 years ago)
