AKAI VX600 Poly Analog Synthesizer

via this auction
"The VX600 is a unique and compact analog synthesizer produced by the sampler-meisters at Akai. It's a six-voice synth with two analog VCOs per voice. This will give you some pretty thick and rich analog bass, pads, strings and so on. A very flexible Modulation Matrix allows you to route waveforms from each of the VCOs through the various edit functions. There is a lowpass resonant filter, a highpass filter, two LFOs, three envelope generators, two external sound inputs and more.
The VX600's patch memory stores over 100 patches, each of which can contain key group splits, MIDI info and voice allocation. Add classic analog performance modes such as unison, stacked mono and a new six-part multitimbral mode and you've got yourself some thick and full analog sounds! Its MIDI implementation allows for seamless integration into any MIDI studio. Additionally, a dedicated connector jack allows direct connection to the EVI1000 and EWI1000 wind synthesizers and a 13-pin DIN connector gives six individual voice outputs."

Roland MC-505 Synthesizer Groovebox w/ Blue LCD

via this auction

"cool new blue LCD (new LCDs are over $100 from Roland if you were to buy their part)... As you can see in the third picture, I had to repair some of the traces on the circuit board since the circuit board was cracked when I received it. I have been using it with the above repairs for 2 or 3 years with no problems and recently added the new LCD."

Audible Disease Dementia DM-1 Noise Synth

via this Analogue Haven auction

"The dementia dm-1 from audible disease is a super mega noise synth designed to inject a new chaotic sound palate into your setup. this thing is just non-stop noise! it starts with a glitchy two-oscillator synth signal. the gain of the synth signal can be adjusted then further processed through another adjustable oscillation filter. after that, a set amount of white noise can be introduced into the signal. just to add to the fun, another control allows you to starve a bit of power to some of the circuit creating sputtering, coughing dying sounds. operates with a standard 9-volt dc negative tip barrel type power adapter only (sold separately)."
