"The DRM1 MKIII is an eight-channel, completely analog drum synthesizer. It gives you total control over every parameter through its 72 controls. The trigger option allows you to integrate voltage control to cue each sound plus open and close the hi hats.
The new version has following changes:
- KICK channel instead of the DRUM1 channel. The Kick channel has some different parameters and can create fatter and deeper kick sounds.
- The DRUM channels have a WAVE parameter which transforms the oscillator's waveform from sine to square
- The oscillators of the DRUM channels will be started with each trig signal.
The DRM1 Mk III is a flexible 8-channel drum synthesizer, which gives you the ability to create your own sounds, as well as many other classic analog drum sounds. Every sound parameter of the DRM1 Mk III has its own controller, so its easy to use and you'll always have a clear picture of the settings.

"This is my variation of the APC. The video starts showing what looks like a normal APC with a built in speaker. Then the voltage output from a sequencer is plugged into the APC. The general schematic can be found on my website: http://owyheesound.com/sequencer.php"

Rare 1974 Roland SH-3 Synthesizer SN 240400
via this auction
Note this is not the the more common SH-3A model. Surprisingly a few have come up in the past.
Update: see this post regarding the Moog filter. Apparently the SH-3 does not have a Moog filter as stated below.
"Vintage 1974 Roland SH-3 Synthesizer - one of less than 50 [see update below] made. First model. (Lawsuit model)...
The following is a blurb I found at the wikidot forums (wikipedia):
The Roland SH3 was produced in 1974. It is more rare than the SH3A which was put into the market after Moog sued Roland for the original SH3's filter design. It is believed that less than 100 of these were ever made. The replacement SH-3a is a monophonic analog synthesizer manufactured by Roland from 1974 to 1981. It is unique in that it is capable of both subtractive synthesis and additive synthesis. Two LFOs and a unique S&H section provided capabilities not found in contemporary self-contained synthesizers of the time. The rhythmic pulsing in the Blondie song "Heart of Glass" is an example of its sound." SH-3 vs. SH-3A
Updates via otto in the comments:
"info on SH-3: here"
"There were probably closer to 700+ of these made. The less than 50 seems to be a myth spawned from a sound on sound article. Still not all that common."
