That Kawasaki synth board for the C64

[RobertB]

     Well, I've shown the Kawasaki synth board at the FCUG meeting and last Saturday's TOGA meeting, but as we are non-musicians, we didn't know what to do with it.  It's in 9+ condition with a comprehensive manual and disk.  I'll try to remember to show it in the next few weeks to Stephen J., an expert musician and long-distance FCUG member.

Mr Kawasaki made a pretty good synth program called the 'Kawasaki Synthesizer'.  It ran with just the built in SID hardware and I think it used a keyboard overlay for the Bread Box 64.  Can you bring it up to MossyCon?  Is it available for for trade or donation to the club?

     Oops, I always make that mistake... it's a Moog, not a Kawasaki.

                   Sorry for the error,

Ahh, thats a completely different piece and not nearly as useful.  It requires a real hardware synth and basically allows you to compose sequences that the Commodore plays back.  It doesn't use the SID at all.  Still, bring it a long to MossyCon!

Still, bring it a long to MossyCon!

I still have not decided whether I am going to MossyCon this year.

If you are not going to Mossy Con then I'm not going.   Don't let a few jerks ruin your fun.

I agree.  Mr. Bernardo, you are a lion in the retro computing community; a very well respected king of the jungle.  Don't let the bullies bully you; I will be more than glad to show you how to use your "Teeth," "Claws" and "Cunning."

Too bad you aren't more local.

I am a synthtard.   I could show it off properly for you, lol
