The NAMM Show 2008 -- Korg Tech - Kaosillator and Karma
YouTube via TheNAMMShowChannel
"Two amazing pieces of hardware from Korg. The first is called the Kaosillator, and it puts a whole synth in a tiny little box. It's pretty freaking amazing. Karma is a software component of their hardware. It allow for randomization of certain elements of creating beats. Sweet."

Drumfire DF-500 Drum Synthesizer
via this auction. This one in via Bryan K who was previously featured in this post. The Drumfire was used on most of the tracks for that release. Some details from the auction:"This is what is also known as a "drum brain"... a synthesizer for drum sounds made to be triggered by contact mics (drum triggers) attached to a regular drum kit or pads or whatever you want, like regular audio signals.
In the picture you'll see some contacts that I'll include for those that want to make their own triggers. I have a bunch, so within reason I'll include however many you need.
The Drumfire is in great shape, everything works well.
Here's the lowdown... there are five channels that can be triggered independently and each has controls for the trigger input sensitivity. You can take audio output from each track individually or just use the stereo master output and have the sounds panned however you want.
The sounds on each channel: there's a triangle wave and a noise source with the addition of a "click" sound which adds attack. There's a "balance" setting for mixing the amount of oscillator or noise sound you want. Individual settings for oscillator and noise decay which vary in length from a short "click" to a long decay (longer than you'll want for percussion). You can adjust the pitch/frequency of the oscillator from sub-audio to midrange. There's a sweep setting for making the sound either sweep up or down in frequency (think disco toms).
Oh no, it's not just for disco toms.... it's fun for experimenting with by feeding the trigger inputs with different sounds. I made a ground loop by connecting the trigger IN of channel one to the footswitch IN and then taking the output of channel 1 into channel 2. By chaining them together and keeping the decays very short some interesting crackly sounds can be had, a low frequency noise source. Listen here to track 3 here. I used this thing to get sounds on other tracks there as well.
I've heard the electronic group Pan Sonic had one of these, and I recognize some of its sounds on their first album. Also, David Tudor used a percussion synth on his piece "Phonemes" and I could swear he used this model. Like I said, fun for experimenting with... for more than just drum sounds."
The Bubblegum Sequencer - Making Music With Candy
YouTube via theberlintable. Sent my way via Michael. Reminds me of a better version of this. More info on the gumball here. "The Bubblegum Sequencer is a physical step sequencer that lets you create drumloops by arranging colored balls on a tangible surface. It generates MIDI events and can be used as an input device to control audio hardware and software. Finally, people can't claim anymore that electronic music isn't handmade."

Akai VX600
images via this auction"It was used with a wind midi controller."
note the INs. Anyone know if those are audio ins or controller ins? If audio, do they replace the existing OSCs in the signal paths or are they in addition?
Update via vgermuse: "Both options are possible using the balance knob. Enclosed (click for more scans) are the pages describing the Ext In in detail from the VX600 Matrix Synthesizer manual for you files. Enjoy! This is a very cool synth and for the longest time was only available in Japan. Though it can be a standalone it is best with an EVI or EWI."Also via peterwendt in the comments:
"The EXT IN jacks are audio inputs to the VCFs on two of the voices. If you plug in only one audio jack, only one voice is used. The inputs are in parallel with the VCOs, but Akai intended for you to turn the VCOs off. The main intended application is to process external sources under the control of an Akai wind controller. You can play 4 or 5 synth voices in parallel with the (2 or 1) EXT IN voices.
Full details are in chapter 10 (page 61) of the scanned manual, which you can download at this site.
This is a good site. It's one of matrix's links on the old matrixsynth site."
Wow! Someone that actually remembers my old site. :)
MOOG Multimoog
images via this auction"the serial number 2485. The Multimoog is a monophonic analog synthesizer manufactured by Moog music from 1978 to 1981. Derived from the earlier (internally, it consists of a stock Micromoog Micromoog circuit board with the extra circuitry on a second board), the Multimoog was intended to be a less expensive alternative to Moog's flagship Minimoog. It nevertheless had some advanced features which the Minimoog did not include--most notably, it was one of the earliest synthesizers to feature aftertouch capability. Key features include:
* 44 note monophonic keyboard with aftertouch
* ribbon-type pitch bend controller
* "glide"
* two voltage-controlled oscillators with waveform continuously adjustable from sawtooth, through square, to narrow pulse
* oscillator sync
* noise source
* 24db/octave Moog transistor-ladder lowpass voltage controlled filter
* dedicated low frequency oscillator with triangle, square, and random waveforms
* extensive modulation routing options, including sample & hold, audio-frequency modulation of the VCF for quasi-ring modulation, waveform sweep/quasi-pulse width modulation, and more
* two AR (attack/release) evelope generators with switchable percussive/sustaining profiles
* external audio input for processing instruments, vocals, etc.
* external control voltage and trigger inputs/outputs for interfacing with other synthesizer equipment"
