Gem Equinox Sounds Part 2

YouTube via loonytunes1234. Follow up to this post.
"Heres some examples of the Equinox "Grooves" feature.
Individual midi clips/recordings can be assigned to keys and triggered in real time either as multitrack arrangements on each key as in the first part of this video, or as individual midi riffs, great fun."

Future Retro Revolution Synthesizer R2

"The new R2 unit, designated by the gun metal grey chassis, has an updated PC board design using a new RAM chip which extends the internal back up battery life from approximately 1.5 years on previous white faced units to now more than 10 years life span. In addition the R2 units include OS version 2.0 making it more compatible for use with our XS semi-modular synthesizer."

Based on the tags for the flickr shot, I'm guessing this is a DIY synth at DocFest2007. If you know more about the synth and/or the event, feel free to comment.

Update via Steve in the comments:
"yeah, i've seen them play a few times, was a couple of years ago now. he would strap it on.

Roland MC-202 Micro-Composer TB-303 ish Acid Machine

YouTube via 123synthland.
"Everyone knows we deal in vintage synths professionally (that's right, no brick in a box, Ebay style!). So anyway, here's a short clip of the Roland MC-202 we're about to put up for sale, all entered step time. Disregard the TB-303, I had big plans to post a video the 2 squawking together but things sounded too cluttered with 2 busy patterns. Check my other videos for a 303 clip. This isn't the best pattern in the world, but y'all aren't paying me to make dance tracks, so ya get what ya pay for! :) Email us anytime at minime123@onebox.com"

Here's the specs:

- The TM3030 is a midi controlled bassline clone that is designed to sound good.
- The design features the same controls as the little sliver box we have all come
to love: tune, waveshape, cut-off, resonance, envelope sweep, decay time, accent and volume.
- Slides and accents are faithfully reproduced.
- This unit contains no internal sequencer. The midi interface is controlled by a pre-programmed microcontroller chip.
- The rear panel houses the audio output, DC input, power switch, midi through and midi input sockets.
- The front panel pots are Alpha 16mm aluminum devices. These offer solidity, long life and feel good.
- The front panel LEDs show slide, gate, accent and power on conditions.
- The power requirements is 24V DC. The unit comes with us power supply.
- For the FET buffer of the VCO I used the 2SK30A-O and for the differential amplifier I put a 2SC1583 like the original design of the Roland TB-303. For the VCA, I used the CA3080 OTA.
- To achieve the best resonance, I replaced R62 with a 6k2 resistor and 10k trimmer in series, and adjusted the maximum resonance to match my real TB-303."
