Wersi EX20 MIDI Expander Synth

via this auction

"After 10 years as an organ manufacturer, Wersi enters the synthesizer field with the MK1 (or EX20 module), a digital 20 note polyphonic synthesizer.

Its sounds are based on a configuration of sounds modules such as wave, pitch-envelope, amplitude envelopes and analog effects to produce fourier, waveform sample, and modular synthesis. The front panel features a 32 slider 'wavemaker' module used for each synthesis mode.

A 61 note velocity & pressure keyboard can split and provide up to 8 timbres simultaneously per side. The EX20 is a rack mount version of the MK1. Both instruments can 'see' up to 16 midi channels for multi-timbral operation, and transmits on up to 8 channels at one time."

This is from the Spanish version of Heavy Metal. The English version is up but the audio quality wasn't as good. BTW, if you haven't seen Heavy Metal, see it.

Moog Touch Plates

via Peter Forrest:

"Three interesting Bob Moog touch plates from Felix Visser via the VEMIA auction - showing how Bob moved from a very Moog-like box to a much more Big Briar thing in three stages. Almost certainly all his own handiwork."
