"VocaForm - an iPhone formant synthesizer.
More info at http://timbolstad.wordpress..."
On iTunes here

"VocaForm is a monophonic performance synthesizer instrument for the iPhone / iPod Touch. It uses formant synthesis to mimic resonant body sounds such as a voice. The results are similar to vintage 8-Bit console sounds.

The user interface focuses on making live performance simple, intuitive, and fun. The main screen is optimized to allow easy access to the most useful parameters. Detailed sound adjustments can be performed in the editing screens.

Features:
* 2 octave, Moveable-Do keyboard.
* Responsive, touch-based vibrato.
* Adjust each sound by editing 5 formant regions.
* Editable ADSR envelope.
* Accelerometer controlled volume."

MULTI FUNCTION VCF

via musicsynthesizer.com where you'll find the full article.

"Although the VCF implemented in the 3372 is a standard 4-pole low pass, the additional circuitry made of UX14, UX13, UXI5, UX17 and the one percent resistor array on the left of UX17 allows 15 different filter modes including high pass, band pass, notch and all pass. Understanding how this magic trick happens requires a little theory."

Sequential Circuits Prophet-10

via this auction
"The Prophet 10 was just received back from a professional synth tech who did the following repairs/service:
Replaced Osc A level pot, recapped CPU board, power supply, 2 voice boards, output board.
2 keyboards: replaced bushings, cleaned j-wires & buss bars.
Replaced battery; loaded factory patches; tuned & scaled.
Installed MIDI
The tape drive board was found to be faulty, very common to these, so I had the Wine Country MIDI retrofit installed.

You won't find another Prophet 10 in better operating condition, but then again, you probably won't find another Prophet 10, period.
Auction includes Sequential Circuits Prophet 10 synthesizer and original manual."

SynthGlove (prototype)

"This is my first attempt at using Power Glove as a musical instrument. I made a small circuit using Arduino which converts finger movements into MIDI CC messages. I'm planning to add an accelerometer to replace ultrasonic sensors which is embedded in the original Power Glove."
