Failed Muso Studio Gear Sale
I figure that by posting about it, it will motivate me to actually do it.
I have recently been toying with the idea of getting back into drumming and the idea is getting more and more appealing as time goes by. I do already have a kit, but it’s a bit dated now (Yamaha DTXpress Mk.1) and a fancy something a bit more 21st century. So I have decided on an Alesis DM10 Pro which I can get at a good price via my contacts at Alesis. Sure, I’d love a Roland V-Drum kit, but I’d also love the salary to be able to afford one!
So, to raise the necessary funds, I’m going to have to sell a bunch of existing gear. This is not easy. I am a hoarder. I hate to part with stuff. I’m usually okay once I’ve done it, but it’s getting to that point which is difficult.
Anyway, this is what I plan to sell:
1x Yamaha CS1x Synth
1x Yamaha DX27 Synth
1x Yamaha RM1x Sequence Remixer
1x Yamaha SU10 Sampler
1x Roland PMA-5 Touchscreen Arranger
I also have a Marshall Keyboard Combo amp.
As much as I love these bits of gear, they rarely get used now, with their abilities being easily taken care of by other bits of gear, such as my Alesis Fusion, Akai Samplers or even just in software.
Hopefully, the sale of this stuff will generate enough funds to purchase the drum kit.
These will only be sold in the UK, after my disastrous experience with the Elka Organ I sold last year, and preferably collection only due to weight (Obviously, this won’t apply to the SU10 or PMA-5). Shipping will probably be exclusively down to the purchaser to arrange.
If you wish to make an offer, do so via email to rob@failedmuso.com. Don’t use the comments sections.
Yamaha CS1x Demo – Part 4
And finally, the last part of my run through of some of my favourite sounds from the Yamaha CS1x…
Not sure what to do next. Maybe the Korg Prophecy. Let me know if you have any preferences.
Yamaha CS1x Demo – Part 3
As promised, Part 3 of my basic demo of my Yamaha CS1x…
One more to follow to wrap the CS1x up.
Yamaha CS1x Demo – Part 2
Ok, here’s Part 2 of my CS1x demo….
I figure there’ll be two more parts to come

Yamaha CS1x Demo – Part One
I thought I’d do a series of posts over the coming week, showcasing some of my favourite sounds from my keyboards and stuff in the studio here. So, we kick things off with the first part of my CS1x demonstration. Once again, I warn you about my complete lack of keyboard playing skills.
There will be a few more from the CS1x, and then expect to see similar stuff from the Yamaha DX27, SU-10, RM1x, Korg Prophecy, Alesis Fusion, Mattel Synsonics, Akai MPC’s 500 & 1000, S6000 & Z8 and Roland SC88-VL and PMA-5.
