Tom Tom Club Octave Plateau Voyetra Eight

via this auction
"The strings on the Voyetra are otherworldly. I have used this synth on numerous tracks including a cover of New Order's Your Silent Face. It responds to aftertouch and velocity, has modulation routings up the wazoo, an arpeggiator, a sequencer, and much much more! Look up Voyetra on wikipedia to find out what this synth can do. I think of it as a cross between the Prophet, Jupiter-8, Memorymoog, all wrapped up in one. Very versatile synth, famously used by the Eurythmics and New Order.

History: I bought this synth off a guy who toured with ex-Talking Heads members in a band called the Tom Tom Club. He had two of them and sold me his second one. He told me he lived down the block from Peter Lanzilotta and had it regularly serviced and kept up to date and had it brought up to the latest software version (4.0) before he sold it to me. He certainly must have because I've owned this synth for over 10 years now and have never had ANY issue with it."
