KORG EX-800

"The EX-800 is a programmable synth-module that works as a sound source for any MIDI keyboard (DW8000, Poly-80011, RK100, etc.)
or other MIDI control device such as computer or synthesizer. For real versatility, it responds to eight kinds of MIDI data:
# key data
# pitch bends
# modulation
# sequencer clock
# program change
# volume
# computer dump
# active sensing

The MIDI THRU jack allows series connection with additional EX-800s or other MIDI units. This is an easy way to add extra musical power to your system with but a small investment. The EX-800 has eight voices, 64-program memory, and a built-in 256-step polyphonic sequencer. Dual DCOs and triple ADBSSR DEGs permit rich tonal variation and flexible envelope shaping. There's even a tape interface."

Yamaha CS50

"From 1975, it's the little brother of the Yamaha CS80 (the famous "Blade Runner" Synth). This board was amazingly ahead of it's time in it's polyphonic implementation. If you recall, the majority of the big names at that time were strictly monophonic. This guy came out and featured 4 key polyphony and an early form of aftertouch that can affect the filter, VCO or LFO. There is also a auxillary input to run sounds through the side panel which I have used on a couple of tracks. Small or not, this still weighs close to 100 lbs and is the size of a small organ. There is a really great sounding ring modulator for crazy sci fi sound, 13 presets and a full synthesizer section including both HP and LP resonant filters. BTW: Check out the last pic of Herbie Hancock from the "Sunlight" album. You'll see a CS50 behind him, over his right shoulder!"

"If you're into little tiny home keyboards of the past, this is about the rarest of the rare. The Casio PT-7 is a bizarre two-piece box with a detachable capacitive keyboard, and a bunch of preset sounds and rhythms. It has a nice, thick, fuzzy tone, and works equally well using AA batteries or an adapter."
