images via this auction. via Rob. Note how thin the front panel is. In the bottom shot you can see the width from the back.
"Included in the auction: The Wave with the original english user manual in boxed ringbinder, the software boot floppy disk, 6 other floppy disks with extra soundbanks, a spare pair of new, unused shock obsorbers (lift the front panel up) and some new spare CEM chips x4 (filter / vca chips)
The synth is an absolute beast and sounds amazing. The Wave is a true pro flagship, that was certainly NOT made to budget. Its also a total dream for synth programming with 61 knobs, 84 buttons, 8 sliders and huge LCD display.
Super rare synth, famous abusers include Hans Zimmer, the Orb, DJ Sasha, Depeche mode, R&S studios, Dave Angel etc. In total there were about 200 Waves made, i can only recall seeing a few turn up on Ebay in the last few years, but one just sold on Ebay germany for just over 6500 euros (over £5000), without any manuals or spares."
click here for more synth shots on the timber den. The site mentions the ATP Festival in the UK back in 2003. I'm guessing it's ATP as in the All Tomorrow's Parties festival? If you know otherwise feel free to comment.

I updated the following two posts with more info from George (swissdoc). Three Waldorf 4-Poles Three Blofelds Scroll down the posts to the last Updates.
I saw this one on Music Thing. It was posted by Stamba on the CBS.nu forum. You will find more shots and info there. If anyone knows more about this feel free to comment.
"Build in 1984 by the french company Techni Musique based in Clermont-Ferrand. This unit has also been massively produced for the Amstrad 464/6128 and distributed in primary schools with the “Plan informatique pour tous”.
Unfortunately the Commodore 64 hadn’t a big success in France so this Commodore 64 version seems to be quite rare! It plugs into the cartirdge port of the Commodore 64/128 and features 2 audio outputs"
"Here is my version of the synthesizer solo in the middle section of "Come Sail Away" by Styx."
Update: synthartist69 took the original down, so this is a new version of the video.
YouTube via Goldenthrush. "You are sitting at a computer that could have handled the entire United States space program during the 1960s, as well as Russia's, with enough left over to rule the world if you were so inclined.
In fact, according to vintage computer sites, you could have done this with a cheap pocket calculator made today.
Yet the space program was built on such primitive technology, and that in turn pulled along home technology to give us in a small laptop more than they ever thought possible.
This is a brief retrospective of the Apollo 8 mission, from blast off to splash down, you can find the entire 20 minute piece on the Internet Archive, of course.
The music involves Filtered Coffee.
See, for Tedd's birthday, the older boy and I were going to get him a filter called... Filtered Coffee. So we call Analogue Haven. They don't have it, and they're the only place that would have it.
So I ask them to let me know when one comes in, thinking we'll get it for Christmas.
A few days before Christmas... They get it in. Yay! --Except it's right before Christmas!
BUT after Christmas, I email, and yay, they still have it! So we ran down and got it.
Of course, Tedd has to play with his new toy. He finally comes back in grinning and says "It's not timid!!"
Yes, dear, the entire neighborhood is aware of this.
So using a Yamaha (I think!) drum machine, the Hammond S6 with the Filtered Coffee, Moog Voyager filter sample and hold, and the Moog MG1 with an octave divider (I have to put all this down for you equipment junkies), Tedd went retro to the bone.
So, in the style of Telstar, but a lot grungier, we give you Third Rock From The Sun.
(Yes, as a matter of fact, I did re-upload this three times. But it's corrected now!)

"This is the best of the 3 different Cat's made. It has the super thick -24 db low pass filter. It has the coolest Sample and hold features. You can S&H osc 1,osc 2, & the filter or any combo of the 3. I really like how the sine waves are on sliders so you don't have to change between them, you can use all of them if you like at the same time. You can even control the the glide with a foot switch. and/or Cv the filter, osc 1 ,lfo. Polyphony - Mono/Duo-phonic Oscillators - 2 VCO's (2 sawtooth, 2 square wave, and 1 triangle) plus 2 sub-oscillators LFO - 1 with sample-and-hold Filter - 1 with sample -and-hold VCA - 1 VCA, 2 EGs- AR and ASDR Keyboard - 37 keys Memory - None Control - CV/Gate Date Produced - 1980-81"
Update via microtonal in the comments:
"There are a few inaccuracies in the description. You can APPLY S&H to VCO1, VCO2 or the VCF. You cannot S&H VCO1, VCO2 or VCF, only Noise or VCO1. Also, there are no sine waves on the Octave CAT.
Note the missing knob caps in the photo. These white knobs are impossible to find today."
"version 1.0. The unit comes with a 160gb hard drive and 256mb of RAM. You can easily upgrade the specs through MUSE. For those of you who do not know what the Receptor is, here is a brief overview.
The Muse Receptor Rev C is a 2U rack-mountable module that runs standard Windows VST instruments and effects. Receptor can process and play back 16 simultaneous audio sources, which can be either internal VSTi instruments or external analog/digital inputs. It can also run up to 57 VST effects at one time. But that barely hints at what you can do with Receptor!
* Play, edit and store VST plug-in effects and instruments on a hardware device * Incredibly powerful and versatile * Intuitive mixer-style interface handles up to 16 audio sources at once * Connects to your Windows or Mac computer for downloading and editing presets * Comes with free VST plug-ins!
This is the perfect tool for either live performance or in the studio. You can now use all you virtual instruments without the limitations of your CPU."
