Elka Synthex - Full uncut version

YouTube via Sharpblue. via Mr. Array
"Paul Wiffen demonstrates a 1984 Elka Synthex. Most famously used on Rendezvous as the Laserharp sound by Jean Michel Jarre. Paul also originally programmed the original presets. Also used by Geoff Downes and Stevie Wonder - a beautiful synth sorely missed." EDP Wasp and Oxford Synthesizer Company OSCar covered as well.

Rare Jen String Machine SM-2007

via Jóhann

"There are three voices, AR env and a highpass filter. The buttons under the controls are labeled "Auto Sustain", "Ensemble", "Solo" and "Organ". I'm not sure what the "Auto Sustain" does but the other three are chorus presets. There is very little info on this synth on the internet."

Out of 26,277 posts to date, this is the first and only post on the Jen String Machine SM-1007.

Folktek "Drum Scape Sequencer"

via this auction
"The Drum Scape Sequencer is one of one and is part of the Quadrum series of works by Arius Blaze of folktek. For more info and sound samples please go to the site: ariusblaze.com

The sound has the ability to create all of the sounds that the other drum scapes make (Simian drum scape, impressionist drum scape etc.) which are generally huge and analog drones and drums - However, with added controls over the sound it also has the ability to move deeply into the realm of clicks and cuts style beats and a vast array very interesting high frequency rhythmic textures.

The main features are as follows:
= drum section with three primary waves and white noise
= controls over decay, frequency and a number of non standard controls to create very atypical sounds
= main volume
= 3 part delay with reverse, tight and tap covering a broad range
= delay has standard controls for mix, repeat and time
= 8 part wireless/plugless sequencer section with led indicators
= sequencer section has time control, add part, subtract part, stop and pause
= each of the eight parts has individual level control
= dual 1/4" outputs for stereo effect
= 1/8" jacks for each of the sequencer parts to synch with external gear
= 4x 1/8" jacks for triggering of drum parts
= lamp indicators
= all custom keys and buttons
= custom wood box
= 9v ac power."
