Michael Hoenig's Oberheim 4 Voice
Title link takes you to shots pulled from this auction. What's interesting is the action claims this to be Michael Hoenig's 4 Voice.
Via Yahoo! Music:
"Hoenig was one of many German composers to emerge from the innovative, electronic underground scene thriving in that country during the '60s and '70s. He first came to recognition in the progressive rock group Agitation Free in the '70s. After a short stint with Tangerine Dream, Hoenig went on to produce what is considered by many to be one of the most important albums to come out of the German electronic school. He has since moved to Los Angeles, where he currently pursues a career as a film composer. ~ Linda Kohanov, All Music Guide"
Via the auction:
"Here it is boys and girls, a one of a kind collector’s item. One of the holy grails of 80’s pop music, the classic Oberheim 4-voice synthesizer with the custom J.L. Cooper trigger mods used on the Tangerine Dream scores and records of the 80’s.
It is available now because Michael Hoenig has moved back to Europe and is liquidating his studio. A certificate of authenticity is available. We do not have the manual for the 4-voice but we do have all paperwork for the Cooper Mods. No Reserve. This is a heavy piece and we strongly suggest that you have this valuable item custom crated and shipped via freight carrier."

SYMPTOHM:MELOHMAN SYNTH
I was reading this review of the SYMPTOHM:MELOHMAN SYNTH and decided to check it out. It comes from Ohm Force, the development force behind GMedia's brilliant soft synths like the Minimonsta and Oddity. Title link takes you to the Ohm site with samples. Make sure to check out the review for a users take on the soft synth. And... Check out this skin.

Title link takes you to shots pulled from this auction. Sent my way via Alex Theakston. Thanks Alex!
Via the auction:
The Polyvox (Polivoks) is a duophonic analog synthesizer, with a 49-note (13F-E) keyboard. It features two VCOs, a noise generator, one LFO, a filter (low-pass and bandpass), and two ADSR envelope generators. VCO1 can be cross-modulated by VCO2. Each ADSR can be switched to auto-trigger, each with independent rates.The sound is quite rich and somewhat harsh and aggressive. This is more of a space-synth. You can be sure that you will have never heard the sounds this one can produce. It sounds like these old Yamaha CS-30's, but then fat filters like in Moogs. It is built like a rock, pure military technology, contacts will last forewer. The body is solid and the knobs feel nice. It runs on 220V AC. Polivoks (Polyvox) is the most popular vintage Russian synthesizer all over the world. It has inimitable peculiar sound and very powerful aggressive filters outperforming the famous Minimoog! A fat, lush and very analogue sound is achieved through instability and thanks to unique architecture of the Soviet-era components; in addition, highly reliable military technologies were applied in the process of production. The synthesizer may be used for hard electronic music, or for soft ambient/old school projects and for modelling various effects as well.
SPECIFICATIONS :
Mains voltage of alternating current, V 220
Power consumption, W max 10
A range of operating temperature, C -10 / +35
Relative generator drift over 4 hours continuous work is within, % max +/- 05
Total musical range overlaped by main generators, Hz 21,8 (F of subcontra octave), + 5274 Hz (E of fifth octave)
Tuning range of the main generators, % min +/- 12 (+/- 1 tone)
Detuning range of the second generator, % min +/- 25 (+/- 2 tone)
Frequency change range of the cutoff frequency of the filter, Hz min 100 + 10000
Dynamic range of the synthesizer, dB min 60
Inlet voltage of the synthesizer in a load 10 kOm
Low output voltage, V 0,025
High output voltage, V 0,25
Dimensions - 780x490x195
Weight - 20.00 kgs
