EMU ANALOG SYNTHESIZER CONTROLLER PEDAL

via this auction
"EXTREMELY RARE EMU VPDL PEDAL. This pedal was part of a larger EMU set up at one time. The [1/4"] cable length is 6' feet and is housed in a thick protective sheathing, so it is very durable and not prone to twisting. This pedal is extremely close in make and capability to the STEINER PARKER CONTROL VOLTAGE PEDALS from the 70's as well as the MOOG MODULAR CV PEDALS of the same time.

As you can see from the photograph, the pedal is marked "VPDL" and I believe this stands for VOLTAGE PEDAL.

IT WORKS WITH THE NEW MOOG GEAR AS WELL AS MANY OLDER ANALOG SYNTHESIZERS."

Sold For: US $54.00

"Here's the super-fun hamheart featherduster synth box. There's a core oscillator with 3-way pitch range switch. There are four LFO's for modulation and a variable mod control knob that goes from subtle to screwy. There's also a great and unique filter which can be bypassed completely if you want. We like these little guys. They sound great and they're oh-so-unique. Each one has different artwork and we love that!"

iConnectMIDI - MIDI Hardware for the iPhone/iPad/iTouch

http://www.iconnectivity.com

Note the following description does not mention the iPad, however I am assuming this will work with it as well:

"Simply plug your electronic instrument (synthesizer, guitar, whatever) into iConnectMIDI and you can play and control your music, using your iPhone or iPod, your instrument, or both at the same time.

You’re not limited to one musical instrument either. With iConnectMIDI you can connect up to 16 devices in a chain, controlling all of them with your iPhone or iPod Touch.

USB Connectivity
ConnectMIDI’s USB port allows you to plug a USB-enabled electronic instrument into your iPhone or iPod Touch. Put on some headphones, load up an appropriate sequencing app on your phone, and you have the perfect mini-studio for travelling.

The USB port also allows you to plug your instrument into a Mac or PC laptop via iConnectMIDI.

Rugged and Portable
Your iConnectMIDI device is compact and tough, roughly the half the size of a paperback novel. With its brushed metal casing it can take a beating on tour, and its rubberized feet keep it from sliding around on stage or on your desk."

Chroma Polaris Analog Synthesizer

via these auctions
"1984 Chroma Polaris Rev. 9 Analog synthesizer Differences in the Rev. 5 and Rev. 9 synths: The Rev. 9 has a better feeling keyboard. It is also less prone to software glitches in my experience. The Rev. 5 has nicer sliders which have an extra 4 solder joints.

What’s been done:
20 new sliders were installed. As a preventative measure, the flat ribbon cables have been trimmed. There's a lot of internet lore about these cables so I've included some photos of the procedure on the Rev. 5 I'm selling. It’s been cleaned, calibrated and has a new memory battery.

What’s it capable of:
All the sliders transmit midi, so you can record filter sweeps and whatnot on the fly. The sound is completely voltage controlled analog, and it can play 3 patches at once. The Polaris uses 6 CEM 3372 VCFs and 6 very hard to find CEM 3374 VCO chips. These are also used in classic synths like the Oberheim Xpander and the Sequential Circuits Prophet VS/600/T8. Manuals and more info available at the excellent website:
