Pugwash. Does any more need to be said?

An album taken from here dedicated to the Olivetti Prodest PC128S (The Italian verdion of the Master Compact). Here is a bit of information to go with it:
We are proud to present "Olivetti Prodest". Pierlo's third album is a fine cross section of his ingenious signature styles. Say hi to the funky disco clavinerd, the fat-headed sweaty 4 to the floor club hits, the dreamy synth patterns, the futuristic nostalgia breaks.

"The title is an hommage to the prematurely disappeared italian PC manufacturer," says Pierlo. "The Olivetti Prodest PC128s was my first personal computer. It was my brother's actually. But we used to play Basic games on it together, around 1988. My favorites were U-Boot, Barbarian and Xor. Also Trappola Per Tori was dope, even though nobody could survive Livello 1. Xor gave me nightmares actually, those strange symbols were kinda disturbing."

The following discs in the 8BS pool contain something to do with music. Examine the catalogue for further details:

BBC Sound Samples

These sounds were sampled on a BBC. You may be quite surprised if you have not heard them before.

There are a lot of these in the 8BS PD library.
I connected my Master via the audio out to my PC soundcard to record these and then reduced the quality considerably to reduce the file size before zipping them up as .wav files. However, the end product is (I think) acceptable. See what you think.

Music and 500/5000 Software

(Also see the MUS section of the 8BS Catalogue) I recorded the following stuff directly to the PC soundcard via the Music 5000 which was of course controlled by my Master 128. I recorded them as .wav files, converted them to MP3 and then zipped them.

UMI 2B Midi Sequencer

Thank you to 6funswede from Stardot for finding the manuals for this. Here is an offsite link to a page about the UMI MIDI sequencers from the company Umusic in London. Here are the manuals. Image courtesy of Matrixsynth.

Here is a message from 6funswede regarding the UMI:

In Norway, our UMI doctor is struggling to get two 1984 UMI 2B sequencers to work properly. Do you know any UMI users who are also a bit technically minded? Please tell me about them. Here is our UMI doctor: YouTube Video, click/tap here to watch

Please use the 'Contact 8BS' link to send a reply to this plea for help.
