images via this auction

"Built in 8 track sequencer on the Sirus/Polymorph tip. You can layer up to 4 sounds Built in samples are absolutely nutty, 303, 909, etc... It also functions as a great controller keyboard, just ask Kraftwerk This Raven Max is in great condition and 100% functional The Max expansion adds twice as much onboard samples and presets"

Update via Qwave in the comments:
"Notice the picture of the manual: it does show the Quasimidi in the studio of Klaus Schulze. One of the R&D persons of Quasimidi is Jörg Schaaf (now Mr. Spectralis) is a friend to Klaus. So he drop in from time to time and showed Klaus the new Quasimidi stuff then. Klaus Schulze still uses a Quasimidi as his main keyboard in a drawer below the mixer and the computer displays.
Here are more pictures of Klaus studio with Quasimidi keyboard shown:

"This is a great mono synth and was fully functioning until one day,after not playing it for 6 months or so,i turned it on and all the keys were playing the same note.this problem also seems to affect the fine tuning knob and portamento which were working before.All other functions are working as they should.These include the filter,envelope,pulse width,attack bend tone,touch control,octave shift and all the preset sounds."

I've also added more links to BOMs, front panel designs and building documentation from those friendly people who wanted to share them with others. Thanks again to all who bought PCBs and made that project possible!"
