"*The 2052 dual keyboard works... but the keys are now removed so that new rubber guides (whatever they are called) can be installed because the old ones deteriorated. This happened to most all 1975-ish or similar keyboards. Otherwise... the system is in MINT shape. I am the 1st owner. I has only sat in three of my studios and was never moved but about 5 times in 33 years!! Everything else is in working order.

SERGE MODULAR ANALOG SYNTHESIZER
images via this auction
"Each of the two panels was designed as a complete system or voice in and of itself but combined together there is an exponential increase in sonic power. The other important thing to remember is that with the Serge many of the modules can perform a number of different functions and the concept of "patch programmable" is inherent in the design. Based on how you patch the modules this system could have over 10 oscillators, 10 LFO's, 4 Envelopes, 6 Filters, 2 Sample and Holds, 5 VCA's, all sorts of cv and audio modifiers, mixers, sequencer and a whole lot more. The power is unmatched in any other system and would require a much larger system from other manufacturers to provide this level of functionality.
TOP PANEL:
* 8x2 Sequencer: This is an eight by two manual and clocked sequencer with some unique functions. The main CV outputs are "A" for the first set of 8 knobs in Row A and "B" for the second set of 8 voltage knobs for Row B plus a third output that is the difference of A and B. There is a main Clock Input that can be manually toggled on/of with the toggle switch. The sequencer can be clocked buy any red jack output as well as some of the blue outputs that have sharp positive going signals. The other inputs are for "Hold" which will stop the sequencer at what ever stage it is at when a trigger or gate is input. The Up/Down Input reverses that direction of the sequencer whenever it receives a pulse and the Reset input resets the Sequencer to the first stage when a pulse is applied. Each stage has a manual select button which can be used to select that stage when used as a manual CV programmer and when being clocked the buttons can be used to set the length of the sequence dynamically from between 1 to 8 steps. This allows for some amazing rhythmic patterns and dynamic changes. Really powerful and great for TB-303 type use.
* Active Processor: This module is basically a dynamic voltage controlled mixer and cross fader an can be used with either control voltages or audio signals. A cross fade mod input allows you to dynamically mix and or fade between the signals coming in the two inputs. You can also use this as a VC switch by allying a gate to the input. The bottom section is a cv inverter with the addition of a knob to further bias the output + or -.
* Dual Transient Generator: This module is one of the most powerful in the Serge system and uses the same circuit as the Dual Universal Slope Generator but is only 2" wide. Each side of this module can perform the following functions: Attack Decay Envelope, Attack Sustain, Decay Envelope, Low Frequency Oscillator, Audio Oscillator, Positive/Negative CV Slew, Audio Filter, Envelope Follower. Each side has a modulation input with a knob to determine if the incoming mod signal will modulate in a positive or negative direction. The left side has a black Input Jack the provides for filtering, slewing and envelope following. The right side has a 3 position switch that allows you to define if the incoming modulation signal at the bottom will modulate the Attack Time only, Decay Time Only or both Attack and Decay. You can get voltage controlled wave shape modulation as well....all amazingly cool!Note that the arrows for the switch and the Input jack are backwards on this module only and that is the way it came from the factory. Nothing wrong, you just need to keep that in mind.
* NTO New Timbral Oscillator: The NTO is one of the most powerful oscillators ever and has incredible sonics and versatility...like most Serge Modules. There are simultaneous Sawtooth, Triangle and Sine wave outputs in addition to a Variable Waveform output whose waveform can be CV selected, modulated and controlled. There are (3) control inputs...a 1volt/octave, a mod input with a knob to determined + or - direction and a voltage controlled portamento input. This is a cv input with voltage controlled slewing or glide with the addition of a manual knob to set the basic amount of slewing!! Last but not least is a voltage controlled FM input with an offset knob. There is also a Sync input to allow for syncing to another audio signal. This single oscillator can make truly incredible sounds and can be modulated out the wazoo.
Teisco SX-400
via Sexor on this VSE thread.
"The Teisco SX-400 is a quite rare little beast that lies somewhere between a Mono/Poly and a Jupiter4. I'm not aware of anyone else on this forum having one, and to my knowledge there are only 2 or 3 in the whole of the Netherlands.
So, to demonstrate what a wonderful thing it really is I decided to make a song only with the Teisco. So, leads, pads, bass, effects - it's all made by the Teisco SX-400. I don't use a lot of processing except a little reverb and some compression. That beautiful ensemble effect is just the 'ensemble' button of the synth.
You can really feel how raw and analog the Teisco is when you play it. The four VCO's are 'nicely unstable' and as you can hear from the main lead line, the VCO tracking is quite shaky Shocked
As for drums, it's simply a Drumstation, a little bit of Drumatic VST and a tambourine.
The song is very much inspired by 80's italo disco and I find that the synth really excels at that genre - it is from 1980 after all, which means of course, no MIDI. Everything is played in manually.
So, without further ado, enjoy the sounds of the Teisco SX-400

"One of our prohibitive favorite destinations at Summer NAMM was the Korg booth, so we could actually get a look at the new Nano controllers up close. Guess what? They're even more adorable in person!
The three controllers include a 29-key keyboard controller (NanoKey), a twelve-pad purcussive controller with X/Y pad (NanoPad) and a nine-fader, nine rotary knob, eighteen-switch and full transport control DAW controller (NanoKontrol). See more on Gearwire.com."

How to Make a Cheap Multitouch Pad - MTmini
YouTube via cerupcat. via synthtopia
"* MTmini Software (Touchlib) and Updates: http://ssandler.wordpress.com/MTmini
-What's a MTmini?-
---------------------------------------- -----------------------------------
Don't have a Multitouch Table yet? Have one, but need something smaller for testing? Building a small portable multitouch pad will allow you to test software and experiment on a smaller scale while building your full table or when away from your multitouch screen. Have fun and make a MTmini! This uses Front Diffused Illumination, with normal ambient light (infrared not required or needed) and a normal off-the-shelf webcam (IR filter can still be in place).
-How's it Work?-
---------------------------------------- -----------------------------------
For this to work, all you need is a room with (at least) some light. The results will be best when the room lighting is even (no bright lights shinning from one direction onto the multitouch pad).
When you place you fingers on the surface, shadows are created where your fingers are. The webcam sees these shadows and sends the image to the tracking software which tracks the shadows as they
