Thomas Henry Mega Percussive Synth
via this auction
Pics of the inside below.
"The Mega Percussive Synth uses three subcircuits (Shell, Impact, and Noise) to create one big/nasty/tasty drum tone. Send and Return jacks at each subcircuit for even more sound shaping possibilites. A State Variable VCF, Ring Modulation, and Passive Mixer are just a few functions of the Mega Percussive Synth. This five unit wide module is PACKED with features/controls to create a vast array of analog drum tones.
Here is a comprehensive list of controls...

* Due to the internal limitations of the Filter IC used in the Noise circuit, external CV's can not be used to manipulate the Noise Filter (Nosie Filter CV Knob and associated Jack have no effect on the sound). Not to worry there are still 19 other parameters you can tweak to get that lush analog vibe you're lusting for :-)Assembled with:
Super Shallow Module - 2" Panel Depth
11 Switchcraft Jacks
20 Alpha Pots - 24mm Size

Minimoog S-Trig Plug Tips
(click for more)
"One of the more interesting cheap quircky things you can do with a Minimoog is jam open the two internal VCAs and the Filter so that you can process external audio.
Yes, it has two VCAs inside, only one with external controls.
Here are some tips on the $5 part needed to do this. It is a factory approved thing and requires no changes or modifications to your minimoog. Nor are there risks unless you overload the input with your audio way past the flicker light level.
The s-trigger plug is also known in electronics catalogues as a cinch-jones plug."

John Bowen Solaris Review & Audio Demos
It may sound presumptuous: the John Bowen Solaris is in some ways the epitome of synthesizer design since the 70s. Let’s see … there are various oscillators to choose from: Minimoog, CEM, Microwave, Prophet-VS, Wav (samples). Or consider the filters: Moog, Oberheim, SSM, multimode filter, comb filter, vocal filter … The modules are a journey through synthesizer history. Sure, it’s all purely digital, but the sound quality is excellent. Impressive."Find the full review and audio demos on Great Synthesizers here.

Vermona Modular qMI - Midi/CV Interface
Noisebug (RSS)
"Manufacturer Description:
Vermona´s second Eurorack module is a very flexible yet affordable MIDI/CV interface which can be up to four voice polyphonic. You can use it as four independent interfaces or in a mixed mode with simultaneous monophonic and polyphonic modes.
Details
Each of the "output channels" has a CV output with 1V/octave, a gate output and two further control voltage outputs for MIDI controllers like modulation wheel and pitch bend wheel. The output channels can be combined arbitrarily with each other or used totally independent with different MIDI channels. Combined output channels can be unisono, monophonic with rotating voice assignation or polyphonic.
There are four clock divider outputs that convert incoming MIDI clock signals as analog gate voltages. A reset output allows e.g for keeping step sequencers (with an according reset input) by MIDI start/stop commands in sync.
An important part of the concept is the simple use of all parameters without a display and complicated menu structures.
pitch-CV: 1V/octave
Gate voltages: 10V
CV1, CV2: 0-5V (or -2,5V..+2,5V with pitch bend)
legato function switchable per output channel
clock outputs (10V): 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 and 1/8T (can be doubled)
RESET output: 10V at MIDI STOP, 0V at MIDI START or CONTINUE
Inputs and Outputs
MIDI input
outputs per channel 1-4: Gate, 1V/Okt, CV1, CV1
clock depending outputs: reset, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/8T

Roland VariOS Variphrase Rack Synthesizer & Sampler
With original box.
"VariOS is an open-ended hardware/software system that allows musicians to build audio-based tracks with the same flexibility as MIDI. All processing is handled by the VariOS module, which is controlled using downloadable software. The first software bundle is V-Producer for VariOS. This software lets musicians manipulate a sample's pitch, time and formant, add effects and even build complete arrangements while keeping the music flowing and without CPU drain. And since the VariOS module can be updated, the system can take on entirely new functions in the future...- Open-ended realtime audio construction system consisting of VariOS module and new V-Producer for VariOS software
- Play back up to 14 phrases simultaneously with 6-part multitimbral operation
- Award-winning VariPhrase technology for intuitive realtime manipulation of pitch, time and formant-control audio phrases like MIDI!
- Batch load/auto-encode .WAV/AIFF audio files from computer via USB and browser
- Internal memory holds up to 300 seconds of mono samples (150 seconds in stereo)
- Easy drag-and-drop sample arrangement-build a complete song in minutes!
- PhraseScope window provides free-form editing of a phrase's melody content
- GrooveScope window allows non-destructive reconstruction of rhythm loops
- Graphic editing of VariOS module's 40 multi-effects, 8 chorus types and 9 reverbs
- V-Producer for VariOS supports MIDI clock/MTC sync and audio/SMF export
- Flash memory and PC Card sample storage for using VariOS module without computer
- Future-ready with Open System Architecture, supporting V-Producer, various vintage synthesizer emulations, and whatever the future holds"AKAI MPC 2500 LIMITED ED #358 OF 500
A little trivia: the style of knobs goes all the way back to the original Akai S612 sampler. Different in color, but the same in style.

ELECTRONIC MUSIC WORKS EMW WCS-1 SYNTHESIZER
"The Electronic Music Works WCS-1 is a MIDI synthesizer module that utilizes a digital oscillator followed by all discrete analog circuits to produce unusual and heavy sounds. The exclusive wave addition resource together with a dual input powerful VCF and a lightning fast VCA ensures its powerful sound generation capabilities, being an ideal tool for electronic music production.
WCS-1 is a hibrid monophonic synthesizer that uses a digital oscillator to create the waveforms and all analog discrete circuits for the VCF, ADSR, VCA and LFO.
Its MIDI implementation allows it to be adjusted to receive signals between channels 1 through 15. Keynotes action follows the Last Note Priority system and it also has a buffer for the last 5 pressed notes.
The VCF allows the oscillator’s waves to be directed to two independent BPF (Band Pass Filter) or LPF (Low Pass Filter), resulting in a wider timbral range.
One LFO with two waveshapes can be used to modulate the cut frequency or VCF’s CUT OFF.
WCS-1's VCA uses high speed circuits to produce very fast and high impact attack time."

EML Electrocomp 101 Modular Analog Synthesizer
via this auction
"EML Electrocomp 101 Analog Modular Synthesizer. Circa 1970's. Great condition, with the usual outer case dings and missing handle. Rare synth that makes some amazing sounds... some Moog like, some beyond. Used by Pere Ubu and others, Google for some history. Everything seems to work fine, and there are some additional factory upgrade mods that are uncommon, such as the pitch wheels on keyboard and the XLR interface."
