Ross Lamond Goike Inspired Eurorack Modular Case in Zebrano 9u 150HP

via this auction

"Gorgeous Ross Lamond built Goike Inspired Eurorack Modular synth case with Doepfer PSU's. Purchased recently from Ross for my foray into Modular which sadly I can no longer do at this time - hence the sale. It's 9U and 150HP and is tilted the opposite way to a 'traditional' Goike style case with the longer curve to the bottom of the case. Solidly and beautifully built, if I didn't have to sell it - I wouldn't. There is a waiting list for Ross's
cases so if you're in the market for Modular then jump the queue!"

VINTAGE EMS AKS SYNTHI

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
Scam alert below.
"100% operational EMS Synthi AKS synthesizer, a true vintage original from the early 1970s. It was bought about 5 years ago from a couple who had stored it in a closet for around 30 years. Everything works: no scratchy pots (except for a slightly scratchy reverb level knob) and no iffy sequencer problems. Just plug it in, make a patch and you're ready to travel the spaceways. Comes with an instruction book, all the original patch pins, connector cable for the keyboard, and of course the power cord. This has been described by many as being LSD in a box. It's really all that and more..."

Update: see the comments in this post below.  I have no way of verifying so as always, buyer beware.  The listing doesn't ask you to, but remember, never buy outside of eBay if a seller offers a better deal as you will have no protection if you do so - always buy through eBay's Buyer Protection.  One odd thing about this listing is that the item location is in Monrovia, CA, United States, while the listing is for GBP. As for the images, I did a search on Google's image search and could not find them elsewhere.

Update2: See the second comment below.  The wallpaper matches the background in the video of a previous post from "cores".

Update3: I checked in with Cores via his YouTube account.  He confirmed these are his pics and he is not selling his AKS.  If you are wondering why I verified, there are other scams to watch out for, particularly people trying to question the validity of auctions to keep bidding down.  In this case we can no be fairly certain that the images in the listing are not from the seller.  Why not 100%?  Because anything is possible.

"This is a super nice Moog Prodigy vintage synthesizer. Thick analog sounds and full direct control with all the knobs. This is an original old Moog, closely related to the Minimoog. The rev 2 features factory CV/Gate as well as CV inputs for the Filter and Sync! Especially the sync is what the Prodigy is known for, really nice and playable with the bender. Deep basses, stabbs, percussive sounds etc, it's really versatile and has that old Moog character. This is a true classic synth. It was recently serviced. Everything works like it should and it is ready to play..."

Moog Filtatron Free Today

"Download the @FreeAppADay.com App and
wish for more top rated paid apps like Filtatron to become FREE for a day!"

FILTATRON is much more than your average sound app. It’s a phenomenal real-time audio effects suite and powerful studio tool for your iPhone or iPod Touch.

It’s not a toy, but go ahead and play with it.

The Moog Filtatron is a realtime audio filter and effects engine. Use sound from any of three sources:
- Line/microphone input,
- Sampler, or
- Built-in oscillator

NEW: Import any song on your iDevice into the Sampler.

Run the sound through a virtual version of the famous Moog filter with a little (or a lot) of filter modulation, delay, and overdrive to create your own musical statement.

Multi-touch X-Y pads provide highly tweakable performance control for live use.

NEW: Switch Pad to "Pitch Lock" mode to play chromatic scales.

KEY FEATURES:

OSCILLATOR – A high-resolution, alias-free DSP oscillator with sawtooth and square waveforms, adjustable frequency from 0.3 Hz to 2kHz.

FX MODULES – Amp provides warm, smooth overdrive with feedback control. Delay can be modulated by its own LFO (with rate and depth controls) and delay time is smoothly interpolated for analog-style delay time tweaks.

LFO – Five waveforms: sine, ramp, sawtooth, square, sample & hold, with crossfade and morph between adjacent LFO shapes.

ENVELOPE FOLLOWER – Uses the volume envelope of sound inputs to sweep the filter, with controls for amount and speed.

PRESETS - Filtatron comes loaded with edgy presets to kick-start your sound.

RECORD AND PLAYBACK – All audio processed in stereo, 16bit, 44.1kHz resolution. Filtatron will record samples up to 10MB.

FILE SHARING – Easily move audio files back and forth between the Filtatron and your computer. Built-in email function allows sharing presets with your Filtatron bandmates.

Life’s a rough mix, filter it!"

Update:

"Here is a set of hand built noise machines built by me. we have a 5 step analog cv sequencer and a sweet noise synth with cv/control voltage input. the synth has vco/main pitch with rate knob that can be controlled by the sequencer it has a toggle to turn on the cv to the vco. it also has an lfo for modulation with the same cv capabilities then there is a third lfo for wider range of modulation that also has the cv function. so you can control the rate of all of the oscillators with the sequencer. the synth also has a cv trim knob to adjust the voltage. has volume knob 1/4 inch audio output. runs on( 9vdc-tip power not included). the sequencer has 5 steps each one has a rate knob and led indicator. it has cv output 1/4 inch. reset button. resets back to one when pushed. and hold button push hold to pause sequence. push again to resume sequence. the hold button is not super accurate i explain in video. but it is ahandy function so you can pause the machine and tune the different pitches seperately. it is also cool sense you can control each of the oscillators with the same cv you can turn all the oscillators rates up and down with one knob. very cool.it also has a tempo knob. runs on 9vdc-tip power not included these machines can be daisy chained together with one power supply the same way you would a guitar pedal. great sci fi experimental noise machines..."
