"ebay item 180562967270, running through general sequences."
"showing midi controller triggering sounds."
"the little keys"
"effects processor for external input"
via this auction"This is a weird little box made by Farfisa. It's a groove box like machine from the 1990's. I really don not know much about it and web stuff is salesman pitch information. What I do know; all the sounds are from the Roland Sound Canvas's of the 1990's and they even have the same name. They only sounds that are the same is any Roland specific sound (The 808 bank is called Analog). There are 128 sounds plus the drum kits. The little keyboard is funky, you do not use it in real time to control sounds. You do use it to set up your orchestration pitch or the key you desire in chord patterns, see video. To use the sounds you must hook a midi controller (see video), it's a sound module as well. A really cool feature is the mic/audio inputs, you can ran a signal through the built in effect processor(see video) or the vocal harmonization(no video, I do not have a mic, but I have processed a signal trough it, to ensure that it works). The internal sequencer is a 16 track sequencer but not really, you get for 4 banks and 4 tracks each.(intro, break[intro], outro[intro], verse, chorus1, chorus2) If you use an external sequencer, you only get three tracks per sequence, 2 of the sounds banks share the same midi channel and I have not figured out away around this, the midi is mapped out goofy. All the presets are editable, there is an effects processor for the built in sounds as well, a mixer for drums, all 4 sounds banks, and audio inputs. The unit uses 3.5 disk, I will include about 100 blank disk. The OS is already loaded in the machine and you do not have load in it ever again(backups OS disk included). I bought this on ebay under the false pretense that it has a sampler, it does not. There is a sample section, but it's for "sampling" sounds off sounds disk that were once made for this.
