Formanth or Formant? The synth is the Helmtronic Challenger. According to 7ate9 in the comments of this prior post, "Helmtronic (Hans-Joachim Helmstedt who wrote the second Elektor Formant "Pro" book)" See that post for more details and comments. I disabled comments here to keep discussion in that post for now.

VINTAGE ANALOG KORG 770 SYNTH

via this auction

"Korg 770 analog synth. It is a dual osc synth with a pretty amazing filter. I love running vocals, guitars, drums through the filter... The envelopes are fast and snappy... killer for basses and leads. The ring modulator is worth the money alone with two settings that are totally variable. The pitch on this baby is ultra stable... no drift. All the keys trigger great... no double triggers here. "

Rhizome Sequencer System @ Musikmesse 2010 (based on a PC)

YouTube via Moogulator

"Impressions from the new Rhozome synth/sequencer - in fact it is a dual core computer with step sequencer up to 64 patterns, plugins (comes with a lot of plugins like Minimonsta and Ohmforce filters, so you may start with it immediately), allows other stuff, since it is XP E (for embedded) as OS, 18kilos, dynamic pads, and freely assignable to unlimited real time track length. there's still room for more, so do not expect it to be the final specs, but that's what was shown. a very nice piano roll real time edit. that allows to "draw" notes with the endless encoders that are also push buttons and finally nice ppl. - you can easily move start / end point of loops in the grid and more. plus the classic chase light sequencing stuff. by sequencer.de synth database."

"This is the cover of a demonstration LP, for the AKS Synthi synthesizer, made in the early 70's- it has a metallic foil cover, and features tracks by the legendary Delia Derbyshire, and other members of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop: including incedental music from Doctor Who, etc.It took me years to realise that the name of the synth was a pun on the name 'Cynthia"!!"
