"These were made by Ibanez for Roland and are pretty rare. It functions as a standard guitar with analog output but can also be used as a midi guitar / synth controller. It requires a special cable that is NOT included but they do show up on Ebay for purchase."

1982 Casio VL-Tone VL-5

via this auction

click the image for lager shots. Not the best, but you don't see these often. Not many details: "Casio VL-Tone, model VL-5 electronic keyboard synthesizer with the Casio MS-1 bar code reader and the case."

Anyone know more about these? Open ended on purpose of course. Whatever you know, feel free to share.

Update via sizone in the comments: "I have one of those. I got it because it was cheaper than a vl-1. It's basically a 5 (maybe 4) note polyphonic vl-1. The presets and rhythms are slightly different. Absent are the calculator and programable voice features. Present is a 1/4'' output jack. IMHO it sounds a bit better than it's predecessor and unlike the vl-1 it doesn't go out of tune. The barcode reader can be used to input preprinted songs into the playback memory, a feature I'm sure you will find utterly useless. It's a good instrument for playing Kraftwerk covers with."

Update via BirdFLU in the comments: "I was disappointed to find out you CAN NOT use the barcode reader to scan any barcode. I dreamed of using it to scan cereal boxes or soup cans to see what hidden melodies they might have, but it wasn't to be."

I don't think I've ever heard Martin Gore's voice before this. Pretty deep considering how light and angelic, almost eunuch, sounding it is when singing. I'm guessing that's a Crumar Spirit in the backgound.

Roland VCA-800 and CPE-800 (1981)

Not a synth but interesting enough.
Sonicstate.TV by TheCircuitSymphony
"# A VERY rare combo! The Voltage Controlled Amp ( VCA800 ) along with the CPE-800 Compu Editor.

From around 1981 basically an automated mixer that runs on sync track/smpte time code.

Nice warm sound, wooden ends - o`h err.. and uses parts that look like the Jupiter8 and TR 808....
