Roland SH-3

Title link takes you to shots via this auction.

Details:
"Roland infringed on Moog's filter design and was forced to cease production of this model very early resulting in very few being made. They then released the much more common SH 3 A with a different filter design.Consequently the SH 3 has become a very collectable and rare synth."

Vectrex Melody Master

Anyone remember the Vectrex pictured below? I wanted one of these bad as a kid but never could afford one. I never knew there was a light pen for it, let alone a music program. Title link takes you to more info on this program and the Vectrex in general. Check out the games section.

Polivoks Demo

Title link takes you to an MP3 of the Polivoks sent my way via Mr. Array.

"I noticed that some of the comments on the recent Polivoks post were asking for more sound examples. A few years back, I downloaded this Polivoks demo MP3 from the Moog Music forums. I forgot who made this, but I'm sure you'll enjoy it. It's quite catchy!"

Thanks Mr. Array! If anyone knows where this demo is from, feel free to comment.

Analogue Sound Synthesizers

Title link takes you to Analogue Sound Synthesizers, home to a number of synth oddities including the Practical Electronics Sound Synthesizer pictured and the Dewtron.

"This is G.D.Shaw's prototype Practical Electronics Sound Synthesizer, as pictured in the Feb 1973 Practical Electronics (PE) Magazine."

While there also be sure to check out the Minisonic2, previously posted here.

"Some great old synth ics, including the mighty Dewtron which I had never heard of. Typical British design with a patch panel (though it seems to be a dual-pin patch panel rather than the simple ones used by EMS and ETI)."
