    I remember these, and remember wanting one for a while.
    I think these sold a lot (As did all QUASIMIDI GEAR..especially the 309 unit they made) on the basis of being used live, and not having to take your brick of a laptop back then, or a PC (OR even ATARI ST) based set up with you, to do your live set(s). But perhaps many people just couldn't produce anything more than a track or two that they were happy with, just with the unit alone.
    I think Jorg Schaff (I think that's how his name's spelt) was responsible for this and a lot of the Quasimidi instruments, and he went on to form Radikal Technologies, with their SPECTRALIS range of grooveboxes, amongst other things. Surprisingly, whilst the sound quality improved significantly, the user interface become more complex, with a 2 line backlight LCD screen employed to display even more functionality.
    Back to the sound, the SIRIUS , as well as the other grooveboxes Quasimidi made (I think there may have been a keyboard controller as well, similar to the Arturia variants) had this lo-fi grungy sound, which i think may have been 12 bit samples interpolated to give a better sheen using the effects. You can hear some odd stuff in the raw samples, which gives the game away.
    It's an odd choice this one, as the prices show how sought after they still are, which may be due to the look or some 90s nostalgia-based halo effect. But it's dated faster than a pair of flared combats with a glowstick in the backpocket, due to the sounds on it, and if you're brave enough to reprogram the whole thing, what you'll get out of it will be mostly of the same ilk. No matter what you do, everything that comes out of it will have that grungy, slightly lo-fi, distorted overcoating.
    If i remember correctly, it always sounded good coming out of the mini keyboard section P.A.'s in a shop, but when you plugged headphones in, you'd wonder where all the grime and even occasional hiss was coming from.
    Like using an old performance car, it has its moments of brilliance, but pushed hard and the flaws become noticeable. And you'll be grappling to steer it, to prevent your sonic drive from ending up in the nearest hedge.

The fun I had reminiscing all the bad gear I owned during the last two and a half decades and seeing you make them come to live again has been true bliss. Ahhh. Quasimidi. The built quality was awesome. I have owned a maxxed out Rave-o-lution and a Raven. Those where so freaking awesome back in the days. And the fact that my favourite synth guru/hero Klaus Schultze used this gear to me was a great pull factor.
    Please continue to make more peace, love and pancake for a long time. Thank you.

    I love your channel. Consider doing a bad gear review on the Roland Phraselab. I love it, but I imagine it is hated. You have to really learn to work around many flaws: slowest loading times of sequences and loops of any piece of hardware I own. Knobs feel cheap. One of those red led displays. hidden synth features you can only access with an external midi controller. No delay somehow, no compression, oh and the loops are just slightly out of phase with the build in synth (which lets you layer a loop with the same synth line for an...interesting effect)
    If I remember right you cannot use the slicer with the synth directly...
    It sounds like a gameboy on steroids...uhhhh is that good?
    The list goes on and on.

      @@AudioPilz oh man. I got mine really cheap in 2009 or 2010. I then raided every charity shop for memory cards. I think I paid $155 on ebay. I now use it with a volca beats and a volca keys, using the phrase lab synth for my bass lines and so i can compress drums in the loop channels.
      The Phraselab probably sucks, but it was my first....groovebox? Looper?
      Oh, it is very friendly about letting you pre make loops on the pc, then loading them on to a flash card. Making a loop first on the phraselab, then modifying it in Reaper and reloading it into the phrase lab is the best way to get the best sound out of it if you want effects like say....delay

    Back in the early MP3.com days ( you know, where Darude ORIGINALLY released Sandstorm? ) there was a fellow named 303 Infinity that rocked loads of Quasimidi gear to make late 90’s Euro-Trash ( trance, psy, “acid” ) music. Their gear always intrigued me, but is still too expensive for my tastes. I’ll just buy a JP-8000 or Virus Indigo for those prices 😂
