The Pig
Samples and more shots after hop. Via Moogulator.
""The Pig" is a very simple, little synth with 2 VCO's, 1 voltage controlled state var Filter, two Attack-Release Generators, VCA (of course), 2 LFO's (one of them with audio freq) and two 8-step sequencers.
The first sequencer modulates the two VCO's, the second one is for filter modulation.
After all, this little synth provides "slide" and a 8-step trigger sequencer for the latter function. Thus, as simple this machine is, it sounds astonishing complex, because of some little more features like cross modulation or LFO-modulation of the VCSFV with the audio-LFO."

Lightsabers
Title link takes you to some shots of the Korg MS2000 sent my way by David Tegerdine. All those knobs below look like a mini Jedi fight to me (yeah, I'm a dweeb). Thanks David!
Amdek RMK100 Nebula
Amdek Rhythm Machine on the bay. I have no affiliate with the sale, just haven't seen one of these before.
According to Fiercefish on AH
"I have one and would describe it as similar to a DR-55 in operation but between an 808 and 606 in sound, the bass drum in particular is excellent and can be adjusted via an internal trimpot for extended Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom's, the snare is very 606 sounding but with a bit more bite and the hats are simply superb very sophisticated sounding. Mine has mods for trigger ins, trig outs, sync in, sync out, accent out and more planned, it integrates with my Blacet modular very well."

Title link takes you to a post on the Future Retro Revolution on Retro Thing, alluding to the similarity in design to a pizza. The Pizza Box. Hmm... now why didn't I think of that...
Essential Retro Update
Looks like Retro Thing's James Gahame now has his Essential Retro book available via Amazon for a mere $19.95 US. James is a fellow synth addict and has dedicated an entire chapter to synths in the book. Very cool. Title link takes you there. See my previous post for more.
