Note this is the one from this video.

"Korg MS 500 SP Micro-preset CUSTOM WHITE monophonic synthesizer. A great gig instrument , very portable with a big analog sound. Very expressive and easy to dial in sounds. Best for bass. Limited , but a great sound very similar to the MS 20 ... not surprising since it contains the same filter chip... This one is in very good condition and has been re- veneered in white. This is the SP model with a built in speaker." See the bottom shot. See Korganalogue.net for resources including the manual and setting chart overlays."

Roland rs 505 paraphonic string synthesizer

via this auction "Roland RS 505 , the ultimate analogue string synthesizer . Separate bass , synth section and of course strings give you a much wider palette of sound from which to create some wonderfully thick and rich classic analog sounds and very big bass sound! Comes with the fantastic sounding roland ensemble effect (stereo output) based on roland's dimension D chorus rack. External input enables you to plug in any instrument and use this great effect."

The Pulsar (Mini chip synth)


YouTube via StarfireMX
"So I've been busy working on this little home made synth, it's gotten to a point where it's doing enough to show you all. Here is the low down.

1. 16 step sequencer
3. LCD info screen
2. Saw and Square wave
3. Adjustable gate
4. Adjustable Tempo
5. Adjustable Tone
6. Switchable high pass and low pass filter.

Best part is I have a circuit board on it's way and it all fits on a board about 1.5 inch by 3.5 inch so very small!

Plan on adding a few more things.
1. Line out (Pretty much just a headphone out right now)
2. Saw works but a bit funky gotta fix the code.
3. Presets (I hope)
4. Indicator for what step you are on.
5. Adjustable filter
6. I have a version where you can set the gate individually for each note, but I just prefer the over all gate, might try to make it switchable but the code at the moment is glitchy.

Let me know your thoughts!!

Thanks!!!"

Ensoniq ASR-X PRO

via this auction
"ENSONIQ ASR-X PRO, Pro Re-sampling Production Studio, with fully expanded memory to 66MB
In use the ASX-X is very good and intuitive, the sampling section is straight forward, the FX are based on the Ensoniq DP02 FX box and they sound fantastic. The resampling function are the main highlight of this sampler, since you can resample over and over adding FX enabling unlimited sound creation abilities. The trigger pads are touch sensitive and they all work very responsively, making pattern and drum loop entry a breeze. The sequence has 16 tracks, and there are 100s of internal ROM sounds to get you going. The ASR-X PRO is equipped with a SCSI interface which can be used to add samples from a PC/MAC or from external SCSI devices (ZIP, CDROM etc.)
