Title link takes you there. Check out each demo at the bottom of the page. This one sounds really good. Via Moogulator.

Specifications (v1.1.0):

General
Synthesis method: Subtractive hybrid
Each patch contain two 'scenes' which are seperate instances of the enitre synthesis engine (except effects) that can be used for layering or split patches.
Category based patch-browser that is fast to use
Future proof, comes as both a 32 & 64-bit VST plugin

Factory sounds
681 patches
157 wavetables

Oscillators
3 oscillators/voice
5 versatile oscillator algorithms: Classic, Sinus, Wavetable, S/H Noise and Audio-input
The classic oscillator is a morphable pulse/saw/dualsaw oscillator with a sub-oscillator and self-sync.
Most algorithms (all except sinus and audio-input) offer up to 16-voice unison at the oscillator level.
Oscillator FM/ringmodulation
All oscillator algorithms are band-limited yet they still cover the entire audible spectrum.
Noise generator with variable spectrum

Filterblock
Two filter-units with arrangeable in 7 different configurations
Feedback loop
Available filter-algorithms: LP12, LP24, LP24L (ladder filter with 1-4 poles), HP12, HP24, BP, Notch, Comb (4 modes), S&H
Waveshaper (5 shapes)

Modulation
12 LFO-units available to each voice (6 are running on each voice and 6 are shared for the scene)
DAHDSR envelope generators on every LFO-unit
7 deformable LFO-waveforms + 1 drawable/stepsequencer waveform
LFO1 allows envelope retriggering when used as stepsequencer
Extremely fast and flexible modulation routing. Almost every continuous parameter can be modulated.

Effects
8 effect units arranged as 2 inserts/scene, 2 sends and 2 master effects
9 top-quality algorithms: Delay, Reverb, Chorus, Phaser, EQ, Distortion, Conditioner (EQ, stereo-image control & limiter), Rotary speaker, Frequency shifter

I knew he had four hands. Title link takes you to the post with more shots and some French for you lucky French readers. I'm starting to wish I took French instead of Spanish...

Click here for a guess the synth post on Subtle Noise Maker. You are looking at a custom cased synth from the 70s. There are samples on the site.

Update: answer is in the comments section of this post.

Title link takes you to a post on VSE discussing the synths used for the soundtrack of Apocolypse now. Check out this Moog modular housed in plexi-glass. I missed this one on VSE. Via Music Thing.

Quite the list. The signing happened this April, 2006 for an auction. Title link takes you to the video link and more info on DVDBorn.

"Howdy!

A section of new Links have been added to the bottom of the Zeroscillator Pages called "Further Reading on FM Synthesis", (we welcome any other recommended Links on the subject)...

Also, New Pictures have been posted to the Cynthia Customs Album here, as well as new pictures have been added to the Gallery Pages in the GOODIES Section of the Cyndustries Website

Best Wishes!

I totally missed this post on Moogulator. What's off about this image? Take a look at this shot. Yep, the multimode filter. Moogulator tracked down Synth Ollie and found out that this unit actaully has an Oberheim SEM pcbn inside. Nice.
