| I used an FB01 until I moved north. Used it a LOT for music for video/film! If you run some of the patches through guitar distortion/compression it can be a real screamer. I think it was called PlukBas or something like that. Haven't plugged it in in six or seven years but I refuse to pitch it. The cheapest little thrill I ever bought!
Most old keyboards/modules have batteries. I've learned the hard way they have to be replaced or they can damage the circuit boards. LinnDrums are famous for this.
And, I did see Soft Machine with Jimi Hendrix way back. Small room. Incredible show.

Despite the bulky, byzantine, laughable
facade of Prog, therein lies the ongoing quest for creating
entire worlds in sound (and sometimes theatre). Gentle
Giant, Hatfield and the North, Van Der Graff Generator? Not
gathering dust in my collection! I consider Soft Machine,
Matching Mole, Carla Bley's "Escalator Over The
Hill" to be bastard offspring of Prog. Even Magma seems
closely linked, if only in spirit. The Lunar Asylum?
Alien Bipolar Prog!!!
