Quintron DrumBuddy Is A Spinning Bright Colorful Mess Of Fun
YouTube via gearwire
"Quintron hails from New Orleans, and his true Bayou ingenuity shows clearly in his DIY beat machine, the Drumbuddy. So impressive it even made its way onto Kanye West's blog, the DrumBuddy is one part of an extravaganza of a show that has been known to include puppets, sparklers and synchronized dancing. With all that going on, you can't blame the guy for wanting a little color-coded help. See more on Gearwire.com."

Roland

"(Recorded 1984) In 1984 I borrowed a 'Roland Juno 106' and immediately wrote this short piece of music - hence the title, 'Roland'. All the sounds are produced by this instrument and recorded on a Tascam multitrack 'tape' recorder (remember those?) This is my tribute to this lovely little synthesizer. Your comments are very welcome. Subscribe to my channel now for notification of new videos from me. Copyright 1984."
Polivoks Analog Synthesizer "Russian Minimoog"
Note this one is in the US and may be the one in this video based on the seller's name.
"This auction is for a Polivoks, a Soviet-era synthesizer often called the "Russian Minimoog". It's actually a bit closer to the Odyssey, as it has 2 oscillators, FM feedback, and a more aggressive sound than the Moog. The dual filter - Low and Band Pass - is fully resonant and extremely cool.

Moog Micromoog Demonstration Video
YouTube via selectimputor. via this auction
"Moog Micromoog demonstration of functionality, and functions. This demo was made without listening to the synth while it was being recorded directly into the computer. Also the sound is out of the left channel only."
Haken Continuum Fingerboard MIDI synth controller
Not the best shots, but you definitely don't see these up for auction often. You can find more info on the Continuum on the Haken Audio website.
