You get Sandy P, the heroine of a couple of novels, is what you get.

Ham Heart Synthesizers -"the sweet yellow and black one..."

YouTube via bigcitymusic
"This Ham Heart, hand-made analog synth box sports one main oscillator, four modulating LFO oscillators, a filter and switches for LFO ranges. These little boxes are chock full of interesting drones and wild sounds. All Ham Heart synths are unique looking and sounding..... they're all different and we like that!"

The Raven /// A100 Analog Modular system

YouTube via beckhusen
"Except the sound of the bell in the middle of the clip all sound variations which are not the same like the first regular looped drone of the beginning are made only by changing parameters at the A127 VCRF (triple voltage controlled resonance filter) . That's an absolute great module and i won't imagine to miss it in further productions."

Roland JD-800 Synthesizer

via this auction

"The Roland JD-800 is a fantastic keyboard and one of the few digital synths with complete slider and button control over all parameters. It's capable of monster analog pads, surreal digital textures, and surprisingly good distorted leads."

OBERHEIM OB-1 ANALOG SYNTHESIZER

via this auction
"It has 2 sub-oscillators in addition to it's primary oscillators. The really cool thing about this synth is it's sweepable waveforms. Instead of having 3-4 or even 5 waveshapes is that they are preset and cannot be changed sonically. These Osc's let you sweep from saw to pulse waveforms which will give you all timbres in between and you can fine tune each Osc. And of course it has 8 Memory locations to store your favorite patches!! The silver buttons have faded a bit with age but all work perfectly. The performance section is also amazing allowing you to do a whole lot with your left hand while playing/soloing."
