"Here's a 606/707/808/909 application in action - you program the beats in the familiar TR-style, there is 4 patterns for each kit and all parts can be muted / solo'd just by touching the screen.

My favourite part, though, is that you can alter the pitch / decay / attack / volume by holding a button and tilting the phone. I just can't get enough of making little beats on the bus... ;-)

Anyways, here's a little pattern I made just to show it off. It was kinda hard to play with the camera in front of it so apologies for the slight shitness of it. I have another app which has 2 synths and a drum kit which I will maybe show off soon! Before getting back to making proper tunes. Ahem."

CRUMAR Bit 01 Rack

via this auction

"The Bit-01 is a rackmount 6-voice programmable polyphonic analog synthesizer with digital control similar to the Bit One and Bit-99 keyboard synthesizers. The 2 computer controlled oscillators, 6 VCF resonant filters, 6 VCAs and 2 LFOs each per voice, easy hands-on editing and a layer/split function make this one phatt analog poly-synth! The MIDI implementation is useable but poor and there are 99 memory patches. The Bit-01 is well suited for studio use and in all forms of electronic music."

MFB Polylite

via this auction

"FOUR VOICE ANALOG Voltage Controlled SYNTH; you may read the full spec here... POLYLITE. The package is remarkably small and easy to use, there is a FREE EDITOR for full software control and another proprietary editor available from REKON AUDIO. THE INTEGRATION WITH MIDI IS VIRTUALLY SEAMLESS, so literally any midi controller may be used to give the necessary ' knobs & buttons ' to tweak. Use in conjunction with a SYNTHLITE 2 which is readily available from Analog Haven and you have FIVE VOICES, as the format is identical & provides all the tactile control needed."
