Analogue Systems RS130 Scale Generator
"This is a cool quantizer with the usual scales (major, minor) and a mode where you can enter your own scale. Has some nice trigger in/out features and 2 summed voltage inputs. This is cool because it allows you to run your V/Oct into one input to track keyboard, sequencer, etc and occasionally whack the second input with an envelope generator for some scale-swept pitch modulation. Another cool thing is to run a slew generator after the 1 V/Oct and before the PSG for scale generated glissando."
KORG DSS-1

You can use the slider to draw single cycle waveforms to use as oscillators on the DSS-1. Hit the appropriate button and wiggle the slider to create some on the fly oscillator waveforms.
Features:
12-bit sampler with fixed sampling rates of 16, 24, 32 and 48kHz
# maximum sampling times range from 16 seconds to 5.5 seconds at the top rate of 48kHz.
# lush analogue VCF switchable between 12 and 24dB
# eight notes of polyphony
# 61-key keyboard
# two oscillators per voice
# noise source
# two multi-stage envelopes
# resonant filter
# auto-bend
# twin digital delays
# oscillator sync
# unison mode

'JEAN MICHEL JARRE: OXYGENE' CD & DVD BOX SET

via JarreUK, where you can find more info.
Have fun synth spotting this one. Click the image for the full size shot.
Grey Matter E! Expansion for the Yamaha DX7II FD/D

"This is what a virgin Uninstalled E! board for the Dx7IIFD looks like. Boxed, booked and stickered. No magic special components, just plain old 74HC/CMOS glue logic, EPROMs and some memory ICs. We could clone it if we wanted to, I guess, although, there are a lot of smart cookies out there who would be able to do the whole thing on one chip nowadays without too much drama. Original installation guide was on blue paper, but, I've made it a big more screen friendly black and white, 'cause I'm such a facist like that sometimes'."

Polyfusion Modular S&H

"Once again, not musical really but just showing the S&H and Filter on my Polyfusion. I will do some musical stuff on it soon. Ex Moog employees built these to higher spec and although some might prefer the character of the Moog, I prefer this sonically and feature wise. The quality is absolutely incredible. 5 VCO, 3 LFO, 2 Lo Pass Filters, 2 Hi Pass Filters, 6 Envelopes (2 voltage controlled), dual ring mod, dual s&h, Voltage Controlled Reverb, Octave Divider, 6 Voltage Controlled Amplifiers, Voltage Controlled Phaser, Envelope Follower, Quadrature LFO, Parametric Equalizer, Variable Formant Filter, Quantizer, 7 Mixers, Various DC sources and Attenuators Plus a Velocity & Aftertouch sensitive Keyboard. This used to belong to Hans Zimmer btw A Sequencer rack would be nice, but hey, you can't have it all!"
Polyfusion Modular VCO tracking
YouTube via buchla300.
"Not really an exciting musical video but just showing how accurate the Polyfusion's VCO's are. They have a 10 octave range and track incredibly well. At some point I patch one VCO to another to do some FM and even then, they remain totally in tune (except for when I put one VCO too low by mistake) Try this on most analogues and it just doesn't work! Also, they sound massive. Probably not via YouTube, but standing in front of it is quite an experience."
