Audio Damage Replicant Update

For those of you that have Audio Damage's Replicant and have not been following Christopher Randall's Analog Industries, title link takes you to some info on an important update. BTW, Chris dropped development on their new product to take care of Replicant. He also gave progress updates on Analog Industries as he moved forward. How many synth manufacturers can you name have done this? Cheers to Chris Randall and Audio Damage.

Fender ARP Chroma

No title link, just the shot via this auction.

Some details:
"Vintage Fender Arp Chroma polyphonic analog synthesizer keyboard in excellent+ condition. This classic synth was the last one produced by Arp and its by far one of the purest and unique sounding polyphonic synths around. Serial #21030012 of only 50 made with original Arp cards (all voice cards are screened ARP). If you've never heard a Chroma in person its akin to a Yamaha CS-80 with shimmery highs and fantastic string and bass sounds. The conditon of this synth is probably one of the finest you will ever come across and it tunes all 16 voices. Unique features include a 64 note velocity sensitive weighted wooden keyboard, 3 band EQ, multiband filters, and much more."

EMS Vocoder System 2000

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.

Details: "British synth maker EMS are known not only for their classic VCS3, but also for their unique retro vocoders. Designed by Tim Orr, the EMS Vocoder 2000 is an excellent voice synthesizer comparable to the Roland SVC-350. It has been around since the late seventies, and is still available to this day. The Vocoder 2000 offered 16-channels of vocoding with filters, mic/line inputs, oscillator and noise sources, voiced/unvoiced detector, and slew/freeze control."
