Kawai K5000S

via this auction

Unfortunately this one has a crack by the headphone jack. Make sure to check out the links below, particularly the "Apocalypse Cow" video.

Some details:
"The Kawai K5000S is a turbo charged synthesizer with both samples and additive waveforms! The inclusion of an advanced arpeggiator, 20 realtime knobs (transmits CCs for control of other synths), 50 buttons, a nifty data wheel as well as a keyboard action that is to die for make this a very expressive instrument! The keyboard in itself is one of the best keyboard actions available in a synth today! What about the sound? The K5000s sounds uniquely rich and complex and cuts through the mix in any recorded track. It can sound like a Yamaha DX-7 but has a rounder edge to it's tone...if a digital synthesizer can sound warm and organic, this synth would be the answer. In a world of copycat technology and design, the K5000S is probably the most esoteric synth to have ever been produced, crossing the line between evolving digital and analog timbres with full control over it's parameters...and there are a lot of parameters!!! This synth is very very spacey!!!!"

La Noche - YouTube via AyNonTV. Korg Polysix, Roland Jupiter-8, Korg MS20, Roland VP-330 vocoder?


Isadora [1982] - Same as above


Números Rojos [1985] - YouTubes via AyNonTV. Let me know if you can ID the synths. I think the big synth in front of the singer is an Akai AX80.

Boss DR-55 MIDI Sync

"As well as being able to sync the DR-55 to midi, with the flick of a switch, the DR-55 can now sync to its own clock and will transmit 24 midi clocks per metronome and midi start and stop according to the DR-55 internal clock and run status. It generates the 24 midi clocks per metronome by transmitting 6 MIDI clocks for every pulse of the DR-55 internal clock"

Roland Juno 106

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.

Note: if you ever consider picking up a Juno 106, be sure to test it or have the seller test it for you, by turning the sub osc down and scaling up and down the keyboard. The 106 is notorious for having bad voice chips. I had one where the bad voice was only obvious when turning the sub osc down. There of course can be other symptoms, but whenever I hear of one with no issues, this always comes to mind.
