Synthesia - Open Synth Hardware Platform

"The synthesia platform is a project whose purpose is to create an Analogue modelling musical synthesizer; that is, a synthesizer implemented using both analogue and digital components that intends to emulate the sounds of traditional analogue synthesizers, whilst being controllable through modern-day digital protocols such as the Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI).

The synthesizer platform exists upon it’s own standalone hardware, and may be controlled using a variety of existing MIDI-capable instruments, including keyboards, guitars and drums.

You can find more info at http://synthesia.sourceforge.net/. Also see these prior posts.

"Sounds of the roland saturn 09 for www.vintagesynth.com forum member Ryan the Monolith. I paid $150 for mine. It's in excelent condition and I consider $150 a fair price. It can be much more flexible going thru a filter. I think there's a little problem with the chorus(6:40)."
