Description

This synthesizer was manufactured by Kirovsky musical instruments' factory in 1984, designer - Viktor Nikulin. The EMI Ritm 2 is an one-voice keyboard synthesizer designed for solo, ensembles and orchestral playing musical compositions of any genre. It can be used both for educational needs and creating different musical effects. This synthesizer can be used with an acoustic amplifier which has a response of 0,775. There is a possibility to use a low frequency amplifier such as radio receiver, TV and tape recorder. The quality of the sounding depends on an acoustic amplifier.

The synthesizer Ritm-2 can play soundings of the other classical instruments (keyboard, strings, reed and percussion instruments). It is intended for creating some specific sounds (wind, noise of surf, train, gun and whine). Using this instrument one can play some compositins with a random pitch and a timbre.

Roland CA-30 Intelligent Arranger, 1990, made in Japan



Link: muzines | midimanuals [Owner's Manual, PDF, eng] | roland

The CA30 Intelligent Arranger takes the concepts behind the E20 Intelligent Keyboard, the Pro-E Intelligent Arranger, and the RA50 Real-time Arranger and puts them into a pad which employs the same membrane switches and overall design as the Digital Fader and Music Entry Pad. The CA30 is designed to work with the CM modules and computer software, and takes a simple melody and chord progression and converts it to a more complex and intricate arrangement, complete with bass patterns and drum rhythms. 48 preset 'Music Styles' can be selected, with additional ones available on Style memory cards (compatible with the RA50, Pro-E, and E20: seven cards are currently available). All the traditional functions of an auto-arrangement device are provided: sync-start, fill-ins, breaks, variations, and auto-melody and chord sensing.

Akai MPC500 Music Production Center [Restoration & Repair], 10.07.2006, made in Malaysia

 



MPC500 is the first portable MPC. You can sample and create music wherever inspiration strikes: on the subway, on the plane, or even at the beach! Whether you're traveling around the globe or just across town, MPC500 is a perfect fit for your backpack, messenger bag, or briefcase. Beats and productions created in MPC500 can be dropped into your computer via USB or into your main MPC with the swappable CF card when you get back into the studio.

MPC500 is a 48-track sequencer with a 32-voice stereo sampler. It has 12 velocity and pressure-sensitive rubber MPC pads. 16MB of memory comes standard and can be expanded up to 128MB. When connected to a Mac or PC via USB, you can drag and drop data between the computer and your MPC500's CF card, just like a hard drive. Because MPC500 is compatible with other MPCs, MPC500 is the perfect way to extend your studio into your mobile lifestyle.

ESI nEar05 eXperience code: 1537 [serial: 045/046] [Restoration & Repair], 10.11.2008, made in China

Link: esi-audio | diyaudio [repair] | prosound [review] | Owner's Manual [PDF, en]

As upgraded version of our popular nEar05 classic speakers, the nEar05 eXperience near field reference monitors have been developed especially for high level home studios and special project studios.

The nEar05 eXperience takes 5" near field monitoring speakers to a new level. They boast an ultra-flat low frequency response and the top quality Kevlar 5" driver delivers unparalleled punch in the low-mid frequency - a major improvement over the paper and polypropylene drivers used in most comparable products. ESI was the first vendor using kevlar for studio monitors in this price range as material inside the low frequency driver. Other vendors have since copied our idea, however there is much more to excellent sound: nEar05 eXperience still features ESI's cross over control technology that is perfectly optimized and upgraded to provide the perfect output level and frequency response 100% matching the installed drivers and cabinet design. Simply copying just one feature, does not work ... this is why we recommend to trust on the original design in case you are looking at any other similar looking product in the same price range.Of course nEar05 eXperience is magnetically shielded for desktop operation next to your other electronic equipment without interference.


nEar05 eXperience is already one of the most successful near field monitoring speaker in this price range that has ever been developed.

Optionally a nEar05 eXperience based monitoring system can be expanded with a subwoofer like our SW10K eXperience. Please note that nEar05 eXperience is no longer in production and has been replaced by the new and significantly improved aktiv 05.

Features:
  • integral bi-amplified 70 Watt active near-field monitor
  • 5 1/4" kevlar low frequency driver
  • 1" silk-dome high frequency driver
  • cross-over control optimizes performance in relation to placement
  • magnetically shielded for desktop operation
  • input connections: 1 XLR balanced & 1 TRS balanced/unbalanced
  • input sensitivity: 200 mV
  • input impedance: 30k Ohm balanced, 15k Ohm unbalanced
  • Protection : RF interference, output current limiting, over temperature, turn-on/off
  • frequency response: 60Hz - 22kHz
  • crossover frequency: 3.2 kHz
  • low frequency amplifier: 40W
  • high frequency amplifier: 30W
  • blue power LED on the front
  • dimensions: 250mm (H) x 176mm (W) x 200mm (D)
