Fenix II and III
"Here's a video of the new Fenix II synthesiser and the Fenix III sequencer with some 808 action thrown in for good measure. The Fenix was recorded without effects, it has its own built in analogue delay that I messed with a bit.
The main melody is being played by the Akai MPC 1000 and the Fenix III sequencer is modulating the formant filter."

EarthQuaker Devices Bit Commander Guitar Synthesizer
YouTube Uploaded by EarthQuakerDevices on Jun 10, 2011
"A brief demo showing the basic functions of the Bit Commander. Video and animation by Jeff France, Guitar by Jamie Stillman, Pedal by EarthQuaker Devices. Learn more at www.earthquakerdevices.com"
via this auction"The Bit Commander is a monophonic analog guitar synthesizer with four octaves of vintage square wave synth tones. It’s no-nonsense interface makes it easy to add or subtract octaves to create a wide variety of sounds without having to dial in envelopes or oscillators. Ripping sub-octave thump, pulsing octave down, a lightly squared base tone and a swelling transformer based octave up all join together to make a single guitar sound like an army of olde tyme synths.
Like all analog octave effects, there are some basic rules to follow that will get you the most enjoyment from your Bit Commander. Use the neck pickup and play single notes. The best tracking occurs from the 7th fret up on all the strings. Below the 7th will still track but there will be occasional glitches and stutters. The lower the note, the harder it is for the Bit Commander to register. The use of Bass and lower registers on keyboards will yield unexpected, sometimes pleasing, sometimes disgusting results. These are not mistakes or flaws, it is the nature of analog octaves.
Controls:
Sub: Two octaves down level
Down 1: One octave down level
Up 1: One octave up level
Base: Squared input signal level
Level: Master volume
Filter: Tone control, more highs clockwise, more warmth counter clockwise
Analog, true bypass and hand made one at a time in the republic of Akron Ohio."

Elka Drumstar 80 Drum Machine Demo
YouTube Uploaded by snolan1990 on Sep 19, 2011
"This is a quick demonstration of the sounds and features of the "Elka Drumstar 80 Digital and Programmable Rhythm Unit" released at some point in the early to mid 80's.
All I have to go by in terms of the date of this unit is that it seems to share the same kind of design aesthetics as the Elka EM-22 synth module which was released in 1986 and the fact that the item was purchased from "Chingford Organ Studios Limited" which was registered as opening on 04/02/1983. So if you know any more about this particular drum machine I would love to hear from you.
I personally find the sound of this unit falls somewhere between the Roland TR-626 and the LinnDrum, with the clean sound of the 626 but retaining some nice 80's character more closely associated with the Linn particularly in the Latin sounds. As long as I am able to bypass the internal sequencer with MIDI when I return home I can see myself using the unit fairly prominently in a few of my more Italo style tracks."
Update via Fredrik in the comments: "Until lately I thought that the midi in of the elka drumstar 80 was only for midi clock , but it turns out that the Midi menu has two hidden sub menus. You must press the Record button to activate them (while in MIDI options mode). In the first menu, you can activate the OMNI on / off ( 0.0 / 0.1 ) , but in the next menu ( rec button twice), you can activate midi note trigger on / off ( 1.0 / 1.1 ) . Hope this can help someone out there ."

Bob Moog Foundation Announces impOSCar2 Controller Raffle Touch Digital Controllers™ and GForce Software Unite in Tribute to Moog Legacy
Raffle tickets are available from the Bob Moog Foundation’s Web store. Be sure to enter before all 500 tickets have sold out. Two winners chosen by a random-number generator will be announced once all 500 tickets are sold. The winner will be announced within 24 hours after that time. Raffle participants should check the Foundation’s website and social media outlets to learn when all 500 tickets have been sold and who the two winners are. The winners will be contacted by email.
The new impOSCar2 Controller provides a physical user interface for both the standalone and plug-in versions of GForce Software’s acclaimed impOSCar2 soft synth. The combination of software and hardware offers the sound and functionality of one of the most sought-after analog/digital hybrid synthesizers ever made—Oxford Synthesizer Company’s OSCar—brought up to date with automation, effects, 16-note polyphony, and tons of patch storage.
As a tribute to the memory of Bob Moog, Touch Digital Controllers donated not one, but two impOSCar2 Controllers to the BMF. One is produced in a hand-finished natural mahogany and the other in ebony black on oak. These beautifully made controllers deliver plenty of visual and tactile feedback to make programming impOSCar2 a pleasure, just like programming the original OSCar but with total recall. With 101 high-resolution knobs and buttons, every parameter is available from the controller’s front panel to remotely operate the software. In addition to its dedicated impOSCar functionality, the controller can be configured to control any software instrument that supports MIDI Learn.
“The impOSCar2 Controller is our first product, and we are proud of what we have been able to achieve with this handcrafted music instrument,” said Richard Lawson and Kent Spong of Touch Digital Controllers. “As synthesists, and as a manufacturer, we have been deeply inspired by the one man who pioneered the whole thing: Bob Moog.”
Released in July, GForce’s impOSCar2 breathes new life into the popular previous version, first launched in 2004. New features include more comprehensive modulation routing, an improved arpeggiator, ring modulation, panning mono and poly unison modes, and more than 1,000 signature patches. Add nine filter types, six portamento modes, and a programmable additive synthesis grid, and you have one powerful soft synth.
Want more? The BMF’s raffle winner will also receive licenses for M-Tron Pro, Minimonsta, Oddity, and Virtual String Machine, which realistically emulate the Mellotron, Minimoog, ARP Odyssey, and numerous polyphonic string synthesizers, while adding dozens of innovative touches. In addition, GForce Software has included the ChamberTron and OptiTron Expansion Packs for M-Tron Pro.
BMF Executive Director Michelle Moog-Koussa said, “Through the ImpOSCar2 Controller, Richard and Kent bring their love of vintage synthesizers into the design and ethos of this very special piece of handcrafted hardware. Bob’s goal was always to give musicians the highest level of expressivity, and his interface design was a big part of that. The construction of the ImpOSCar2 Controller echoes that commitment to musicians. Our many thanks to Richard, Kent, and the team at GForce Software for sharing their life's work with us. Their support is a tribute to Bob Moog's legacy and to the work of the Bob Moog Foundation.”
The Bob Moog Foundation (www.moogfoundation.org) honors the legacy of synthesizer pioneer Dr. Bob Moog through its mission of igniting the innovative and creative spirit at the intersection of music, science, and history. Its projects include Dr. Bob's SoundSchool, which brings electronic musical instruments into the schools to teach children science through music; the Archive Preservation Initiative, an effort to preserve and protect the inventor's extensive and historic archive; and the future Moogseum, an innovative educational, historic, and cultural facility that will bring Bob Moog's spirit alive to ignite innovation and creativity in children and adults. It will be located in Asheville, N.C., in the years ahead, pending necessary funding. The Bob Moog Foundation is an independent, donor-driven 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and is not formally affiliated with Moog Music, Inc."

Pitch Up/Down Control - Goes very high and nicely low for some really good bass on those songs! The neck of the guitar wiggles when using the whammy bar or pressing the large button on the bottom of the body. The pitch doesn't affect this much but does come up with interesting sound when pitching the unit right down and using the whammy bar.

"My goodbye to Troy, NY. I wanted to try a few different things with this piece, most noticeably the strong tonal and rhythmic aspects. I also wanted to get away from the 'synth hands' video style, which was greatly helped by the editing finesse of my good friend Monsieur Plague. The deep bass is very important in this piece, please listen on good speakers or headphones if possible.
For the synth nerds: Flame Clockwork drives a Pittsburgh Timetable and Intellijel uStep for the rhythmic aspects. Voices are a SynthTech Cloud Generator, TipTop Z3000, and Livewire AFG, with quantization from a Intellijel uScale.
