"Portable Analog Modular Volumetric Video Synthesizer-

Patch programmable by 'patch wires', just wire with no cable. Synthesizes a multitude of hologram quality 3D moving images. The smallest synth of the Hologlyphics system.

Inspired by when Synthi-AKS met R2D2 and saw him holographically project Princess Leia."

RozzBox One V2 Drum and Bass Demo

YouTube via JSBasss, via the forum.
"Demonstration of the RozzBox One V2 polyphonic synthesizer by L.L.Electronics, performed live by Kilian Leonhardt. Featuring (among others) envelope follower, bit crusher, sample rate reduction.
Other gear used: Roland PMA-5 (sequencing and crappy piano sound), E-MU e64 (sample drums), Behringer Virtualizer (delay)."

Does Your Synth Have Whiskers?

"As I was working on my [Hammond] M-2 I had a good view of the tone wheel generator in bright lighting. I thought that the tone wheel generator chassis was dusty but instead it was covered in whiskers. Zinc whiskers are crystalline structures that grow in the shape of a thin hairs emerging outward from a zinc surface. Every metal surface of the tone wheel generator is covered."

Prague Synthesizer Gathering

Remember these videos?
Both peteness and Tiracon wrote in with some more info.
via peteness:
"Thanks for adding my unpretentious YouTube videos from Prague. That was the meeting of czech/ slovak internet forum "Electrozone". Electrozone is interested in mixing, recording, FXs, synthesizers since 2002....... The biggest analog freak of us is Bodyia. See his site [Syntetizéry].

There was a first synth's meeting in Bratislava one year ago. Here is some pics from Prague a week ago."

Studiologic NUMA

I'm guessing this is a MIDI controller keyboard only. Not much info on the Studiologic site. According to juri on the Waldorf list the physical design (think appearance) was designed by Axel Hartmann who also designed the Blofeld's look.

Axel Harmann also designed the look for the MOOG Little Phatty, Alesis Andromeda an other synths. He also of course produced the Hartmann Neuron.

BTW, if you know what synths he worked on, feel free to list them out in the comments. It would be interesting to know them all.
