via the seller: "I bought this one new directly from the Oberheim in 1983. While playing guitar for The Nina Hagen Band, I used it for songwriting, and as a general inspiration tool. It’s noises are all over the tracks on The Hagen Bands 1983 album 'Fearless,' Including her crazy club hit 'New York New York.' I was tapped by Universal to write songs for a film called 'The Breakfast Club.' We set up shop at Oasis Recording Studios for about six weeks I used my new OB-8 nearly every day, writing songs for the film. The main title was called 'Don't You Forget About Me.' by Simple Minds. So... It is upon this exact OB-8 Synthesizer the first whisps and golden threads of 'Don't You Forget About Me' slipped from the speakers, and into our ears to be nailed down for the record. There’s to the pedigree… Now as to it's condition. Factory Midi installed with original page two instructions still intact. (I reprinted a fresh copy of the users manual) The synth has been well cared for, and is in perfect working order."

"The sequencer input mod with a new jack on the back was installed about 6 months ago. The new jack looks and functions perfectly and looks as professional as it gets. This makes this synth a great addition to any modular studio as it can receive and send the sequencer clock."

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - MakeNoise Tempi & 4ms Spectral Multiband Resonator
Published on Mar 7, 2016 Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith
"For best sonic quality, please listen on headphones or through nice speakers. My favorite speakers are Genelecs. :) For patch details - Read on...
This patch demonstrates how the MakeNoise Tempi can be used as the foundation for complex timing variations in a very predefined way, which is incredibly useful for intentional composition.
In this patch I have Tempi Channel 1 pulsing the 'Odd' input of the 4ms Spectral Multiband Resonator. Tempi Channel 2 is pulsing the "Even" input of the SMR. These are the only 2 that remain consistent in their time - although they are phasing. Channels 3-6 of the Tempi are set to divisions and multiplications of Channels 1 and 2 by factors of 2 and 4. Additionally, Channel 6 is patched to the Tempi MOD Input. During the performance I intermittently activate MOD Mode on Channels 3-6, causing them to rotate.
Tempi Channels 3-5 are sent to the CV Bus of the MakeNoise to trigger Maths, Function, direction and clock of Pressure Points and X-Clock of Rene.
The Quantized CV Out of Rene is sent to the CV Bus and then to 4 voices, all tuned to different harmonies, that I bring in and out with the RxMx and the other mixers. I used Maths and Function as an analog shift register to take these sequenced voices out of parallel motion.
The DPO's Mod Osc is in LFO Mode, and is modulating the waveshape of the STOs, the frequency of the MMG, and Telharmonic Flux.
The 4ms SMR plays the main harmonic structure and foundational rhythmic voice of the piece ( being pulsed by the Tempi ). I am recalling 6 preprogrammed presets, each with different chord voicings as well as EQ settings. I am also unlocking a bass frequency to change the bass line note.

JOMOX M-RESONATOR ANALOG FILTER SYNTHESIZER SN 0628 - 0026
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"This listing is for a Jomox M-Resonator Analog Filter Synthesizer. Discontinued. This little filter box is just incredible, although you won't see what's inside at first. The envelope follower is level independent and has 2 actual envelopes internally - one fixed and one changeable referential envelope. They both are divided analog which produces a level independent envelope within far ranges. The filters are made from discreet parts and form a 24 pole low-pass filter transistor cascade. They can - in any thinkable way - be self feedbacked and be coupled or feedbacked with each other, so that extreme sounds and chaotic states create - all what you need today for creative analog sound design. Unbelievable bass gains or screaming scratch sounds are no problem. The mix pots are zeroed in center position; any other angle will couple or feedback negatively or positively. FM in both directions is also available.
Connections: Power 9V~ AC, Stereo In 2x 1/4 inch, Stereo Out 2x 1/4 inch align="right" width="5" height="1""

iTunes: synthQ - Never Be Normal
"Requires iOS 7.0 or higher
Introducing the queuing synthesizer for iPad.SynthQ has been designed from the ground up with the touchscreen interface in mind. SynthQ is a subtractive synthesizer with a customizable interface. A unique module queuing system, resizable multi-octave keyboard, and intuitive cable-based modulation controls offer a truly dynamic music-making experience for iOS.
Each part of the synth is separated into units called modules. Each module snaps into place along a scrollable surface above the keyboard. 
Control the number of modules shown on the screen at any time. Control which modules appear for each sound.Tap a button on the module menu to launch a module and add it to the queue.
Drag a module up and release to remove it from the queue.
Drag a module down to move it within the queue.
Add variability to your sound by connecting different modules using virtual cables.
Alter the sound with synthQ's movable keys.
SynthQ provides an intuitive and engaging way to get started creating your own sounds, and is ideal for production, performance and music education environments.
Full feature list:
MODULES:
—three oscillators — sine, triangle, saw, square, pulse and resonant noise waves
