YAMAHA CS-50

via this auction

"The CS50 is a rare four-voice polyphonic synthesizer. It differentiates itself from its 70's peers with its unique tone and myriad controls for shaping new sounds. There are three separate LFOs (including the ring modulator), an excellent dual resonant filter arrangement, and a post-filter sign wave. There are also after-touch controls for pitch, LFO, and filter. Several classic preset sounds are available, in addition to the panel controls. The CS-50 is powerful and flexible."

Scott Stites: Appendage Touch Ribbon/Klee Sequencer Composition

Scott Stites: Appendage Touch Ribbon/Klee Sequencer Composition from Scott Stites on Vimeo.

"This is a video shot of a recent patch I was working with. It uses the Appendage Touch Ribbon, Klee Sequencer, KS-01 Modular Synth, and CGS Drums.

The Appendage is controlling the experimental Appendage Sequencer, which divides the ribbon into "zones" of voltage."
You can find an MP3 of the recording here.

TF50 Modular Synthesizer

"The TF50 Modular Synthesizer doin thangs."
Update: some additional info from MRBLITZER:
"It contains:
3 x MFOS VCO
MFOS 16 Step Sequencer
MFOS Dual Lin/Log VCA
MFOS Noise/Random Gates
MFOS ADSR Envelope Generator
Thomas Henry / Magic Smoke Mankato Filter
Thomas Henry Quadrature Function Generator
Homemade Balanced Modulator

It has some problems and needs a case built, but it works! It will go in a folding case with some modules I built on the other side.

I designed and screen printed the panel myself, a friend of mine built the circuits, Jason Power ( http://www.myspace.com/slappingpurses ). I learned enough from him to build my own modules from now on!"

Ensoniq ESQ ESQ-M SQ80 synth synthesizer card and tape

via this auction

"Ensoniq programmable storage cartridge for ESQ, ESQ-M and SQ80 synths (comes with some sounds on it) in great working and physical condition. It comes with a bonus: two original data tapes/cassettes from the 80's also in good condition (Leister productions and Factory Programs)."

Click on the bottom image and note the different check box per synth. Kind of interesting how they used the same label for different synths.
