via The OHM Side of the Moon - a little Halloween spooky..
"You might have already seen the two official Ohm Force tutorials but, lucky you, until today you’ve never been able to watch these unreleased scenes. Candles, satanic rituals, external shooting and dance steps. With this “The Ohm Side of the Moon Vol.1″ you’ll understand that the Ohm backstage is actually frightening froody, despite the brain damage that coding plug-ins can make. Beware, there will be more never-before-seen footage during next weeks and months…"

Roland "The Synthesizer" 4 volume book set

via this auction

"very rare Roland book set "The Synthesizer" - in 4 volumes - in near mint condition. This was a training manual of sorts for Roland products in the late 70's/early 80's. It includes information about how to use the 100m modular synthesizer, how to multitrack, use of effects, how to make certain synth sounds. Great resource for budding synthesists." via Rod

Roland CR-78 CompuRythm Programmer WS-1 Sync

via this auction

"A few years back I sold my WS-1 and started looking for an alternative to program my Roland CR-78. A guy in Czechoslovakia designed such a thing, and here it is. I bought one, and successfully used it to sync up and program my CR-78. I ended up finding another WS-1 later on, so this has been sitting in a box unused."

Kenton Pro-4 Analog Synth MIDI > CV Gate Converter

via this auction

"This is the Cadillac and undisputed king of CV/GATE converters. I've used many different CV converters over the years and currently own 4 of these units. I've also owned an Encore Expressionist, Doepfer, and JL Cooper device and this unit blows them all away. The metal knob on the front makes it very easy to access the various parameters.

Features:
* Can control up to 10 instruments at once
* CV/GATE/TRIG control of 4 monosynths or drum brains (Moog/ARP/Roland/etc.)
* Flexible gating - STRIG (pullup/no pullup/5V/15v) (for Moog/Korg), Gate V-trig (5v/15v) (for Roland/ARP), Trigger Pulse (5V, 15V) (to trigger ARP envelopes or drum machines/sequencers)
* 8 CV auxilliary outputs to control inputs on any synth (filter/volume/resonance) - assignable to any channel
* WASP port for controlling a WASP
* DCB port for control of Juno-60 or Jupiter-8
* KADI port for sending triggers to drum machines with KADI ports (like the TR-606 I'm selling in another auction)
* Optional (not included) HZ/Volt board for controlling Korg and Yamaha synths, and it actually scales properly, unlike the Encore
* MIDI in/out/thru
* Dedicated MIDI output for filtered MIDI channel for synths that always respond to all channels (DX7 etc.)
* Roland DIN Sync output
* 1/8" clock pulse output syncs to MIDI clock for triggering vintage drum machines or start/stop switches
* Owners manual
* Several memory locations to store setups with the option to load one at power up.
* Easy access initial note and scaling adjustment screws on front panel to ensure your synths scale properly. Great for synths with weird scaling like the Multimoog
* Portamento control
* 4 independent LFO's (trangle/saw (up/down)/pulsewidth (10/20/30/40%)/Sample & Hold/Square) that can be set to modulate any of the CV outputs or any 4 of the auxiliary outputs - each can sync to MIDI with clock divide (2/3/4/6/8/12/16/24 ratio) based on MIDI clock input
* Transpose (-24 to +24 semitones)
* Pitchbend (0 to +/- 24 semitones)
* Note Priority (low/high/newest)" via Rod.

Roland MTR-100 Digital Cassette Backup for MC-4b

via this auction

"extremely rare (as in hen's teeth rare) Roland MTR-100 Digital Cassette Backup unit for use with the Roland MC-4b MicroComposer. Without this unit, if you power down, you'll lose your MC-4b sequences. This unit allows you to save and load your patches at twice the speed using hard to find data cassettes (Roland recommends Maxell M-90 data cassettes). Fortunately, a number of years ago I sourced some new old stock cassettes and 20 of them are included with the MTR-100 in this auction (19 of them sealed). The MC-4b is the same sequencer Vince Clarke used on many of his earlier works with Erasure. Features: Double-speed backup of MC-4b sequencer data. You will need an MC-4b for this to work (or will have to upgrade your MC-4 to an MC-4b) since only the MC-4b has the add-on board and interface jack that allows you to interface with this unit." via Rob

Roland OP-8m CV Gate Interface MIDI Converter

via these auctions
(note there are three listings)
"Roland OP-8m CV/GATE interface for use with the Roland MC-4 MicroComposer or other analog sequencer using CV/GATE jacks. Features: This is not a MIDI to CV/GATE converter. It works the other way around. This takes a CV or GATE signal and converts it to either DCB or MIDI note data. This is a very rare unit. This unit will allow you to take the output from an analog sequencer and sequence MIDI synths, or record your analog sequences into a hardware or computer sequencer. And it does it very well, better than any similar device I've tried. Of course it also works with the MC-4 Microcomposer, allowing you to sequence MIDI or DCB (Juno-60 or Jupiter-8) synthesizers instead of just CV/GATE synths - and all with very tight timing and no lag as in typical MIDI sequencers." via Rod.

Roland MC-4b MicroComposer Analog Sequencer

via this auction

"Roland MC-4B MicroComposer Digital sequencer for controlling analog or modular synths directly using CV/GATE jacks. It is in museum-quality condition with the original box and manual. This is the same sequencer Vince Clarke used on many of his earlier works with Erasure. Also used by Martin Rushent on Human League's Dare! album. If you Google it, you'll probably find my website near the top of the list, because my site has been the main source of MC-4b information on the net for the past 10 years or so."

DK Synergy vintage synthesizer w/ kaypro

via this auction
"complete fully functioning early 80's DK Synergy system. It includes 5 cartridges, two Kaypro computers (one as a back up), and all the software you will need. It has also had a midi upgrade... It comes with 5 cartridges so hooking up the kaypro is not essential to discover all of the unique sounds this beast has on offer. It can go from the sound of an angel's harp to the sound of dump truck driving through a nitroglycerin plant. It has a very diverse tone pallet and a great analog digital hybrid feel." Note the Carlos cartridge. Wendy Carlos used the DK Synergy. You can find a little more info in these posts.
