"Not the Yamaha CS80, but almost there. With some more tweaks it can sound even closer."

"short synth demo with some bass and 'blubber-sounds' by RetroSound
The Odyssey can much more it is very versatile (sample and hold, ringmodulation, sync, frequencymodulation and more).

no external effects used, pure Odyssey sound :-)

The ARP Odyssey Model 2821 or Odyssey III is the little brother of the ARP 2600. The sound is different to the moog-sound. A great bass and lead synth."

Hammond Condor

via this auction

"This is the Condor synthesizer made by Hammond in the early 70's. It is very rare and hard to find information on. I read hendrix may have even used one. It has an input for a contact microphone that is for a wind instrument. I do not have the contact mic. The unit powers up and does not appear to have any issues but i cannot test it any further, see the photo for the condition, the only other one i have ever seen sold for almost $400. It has slider controls for vibrato, intensity and rate, treble, bass, sensitivity, tone and volume. It also has organ type switches for repeat, attack ,tremolo/vibrato, sub-octave,dynamute, fuzz,oboe, sitar,natural amplify, sopano sax, tuba, oboe, english horn, cello, clarinet and a few others. There are also some adjustments on the bottom of the synth."

KORG MS50 ANALOG Modular

images via this auction

"1978 built in Japan. It is cool on its own and even crazier coupled with an MS20 or MS10, it was designed as an expander to these, although I’ve read it has a better build quality than the MS10 or 20. Being FULLY Modular it is very versatile and can be used for FX, processing audio and control voltages, etc it even has a great ring modulator. You can process guitars, other instruments, mics, your voice etc. You can create stereo pingponging, tremolo, all sorts. Have a read up on them, good reviews, see sequencer.de.

It is a 240v ac 50/60hz Australian plug end. Serial number 190503

The Korg MS-50 - modular in design and at the height of the MS-series synthesizers. This keyboard-less expander type module is completely patchable and uses Korg's Hz/V type of CV and Gate for control with other synths like the MS-20. There are lots of knobs and patch points on this one... The MS-50 is still a single VCO monophonic analog beast but offered more patch ability and power than any other MS synth. Other features include a ring modulator, voltmeter and sample & hold. It was also designed to complement the SQ-10 sequencer. It has been used by The Chemical Brothers."

KORG SQ10 Analog Sequencer

"This Sequencer is excellent, more flexible than you may first think. You can make bizarre sequences with it and its mega fun to use. Made in Japan 1979. With original manual !!!!

The sequence can be any number between 1-12 steps long (24 if you couple A and B). It has three separate channels, so you can get 3 sequences running at once! Run three synths with a different sequence each, or use a channel to sequencer the filter of a synth etc etc. You can even sequence the speed of its clock so it speeds up and slows down as you want, it can drift out of time with your other gear the reset at what ever point you like so you’re back in sync!! It also has portamento for slides and an output for each step! And more…

BLURB:
A very good old-school sequencer from Korg. Designed for the MS series synthesizers and using Korg's CV / Gate control the SQ-10 sequencer can really surprise you with some groovy basslines. Use the knobs to adjust and build up a sequence. Sure it's limited to 12 steps (with a max of 24) but when you hook that up to your MS-10, MS-20 or MS-50 you can get some pretty cool TB-303 like stuff happening. Because the SQ-10 outputs CV (Control Voltage) it can be connected to the Oscillators, VCF filters or LFO's of your MS synths for even cooler tricks. Using a CV / Gate converter allows you to use the SQ-10 with other Roland, Moog, Sequential and even MIDI synthesizers. It's definitely a fun instrument which allows you to program basslines like they did back in the early days!"
