"THE MOOG SATELLITE IS THE SUCCESSOR OF THE RARE "MINITMOOG". IT IS BUILT AROUND A SOLID WOOD FRAME AND LOOKS GREAT. IT IS A MONOPHONIC SYNTHESIZER WITH PRESETS, WHICH CAN BE CHANGED (FILTER, MODULATION, LFO, ENVELOPE). THE FILTER SOUNDS GREAT AND HAS CHARACHTER. THE MEATY ANALOGE SOUNDS REALLY COME TO LIFE WHEN USING IT WITH DELAY, PHASER, FLANGER, ETC......."

ARP 2600 Vintage Analog Synthesizer Tonus Logo

via this auction

via the seller:
"You may have noticed several 2600s have sold here on eBay recently. Some refurbished, some not. Now if you look at the pictures, you will see that they have the common ARP "G clef" logo. This tells us that these are the later edition synths. Many more of these were made than the rare earlier TONUS ARPs.

The TONUS logo on the electronics and keyboard units not only tell us that this instrument is one of the earliest made but as a result is made as the ARP engineers originally designed it. The great sound and feel of these ARP 2600 TONUS synthesizers attest to this. From what I have seen, the last TONUS ARP 2600 to be offered on eBay, was a very rare Grey Meanie.

Another thing I have noticed when looking through the mods offered to owners of the ARP 2600, is that most of them attempt to bring the later edition synths back to the original edition TONUS specifications.

Some things you get with the TONUS ARP 2600 are the "coveted" sweet sounding 4012 "Moog" style filter, the accurate and stable 4027-1 oscillators, the original Hammond long pan reverb unit, a truly amazing versatile musical instrument that you will enjoy programming and playing and the envy of all your friends."

The microDrum

"MicroDRUM is the most economical and simple to build MIDI drum trigger. It’s based on Arduino and can be used with a huge variety of e-pads / e-cymbals, up to 48 inputs! The output can be sent to a PC and converted to drum sounds through VST like BFD, Addictive Drums and Superior Drummer, etc. … The accompanying software allows features not found in any similar solution: a direct interface with VST (without USB-MIDI cable), record, playback of tablature to practice on, etc. … This is a Open Hardware product made in Italy!"

Vintage Yamaha EM-90A Amplifier Mixer with Built in Rhythm Machine

"Yamaha 70 watt amplifier/mixer, model number EM-90A. It is in very good condition with no major damage, though there are light signs of wear, like light scratches, scuffing and sticker residue. The manual is also included, but is meant for the EM-80, EM-100 and EM-150."

Update via unknown in the comments: "These are actually 15watts per channel. Not very loud or clean, but they do have a bit of character."
