Panasonic Do-Re-Mi by Decent Samples [Decent Sampler]

Description

I recently got my hands on a pretty neat vintage item: the Panasonic Do-Re-Mi. It’s essentially a little analog synth / organ with a built in record player. Panasonic also sold a version with a built-in tape deck, and another even rarer unit that  just contained the synth portion on its own. All three versions were released in 1977, along with the Panapic multimedia system. The one I got was not in very good condition: I had to replace the capacitors, clean the keyboard, and replace the record needle, but I did eventually manage to get it back on its feet. Naturally, the very first thing I did once I got it working was sample it. This proved to be quite an easy task as it has only one sound. 🙂
