Roland TB-303 Bassline Synth with MidiBass-II Control

via this auction
"Roland TB-303 in very good condition which has recently been overhauled and modified with the Sequentix Midibass-II CPU allowing the user to control the synthesizer section and filter cutoff via midi (If you're unfamiliar with this modification please check out the Sequentix link above). The MIDIBass-II board also transmits the notes from the 303's internal sequencer via MIDI, allowing you to capture the unique quality of patterns created through the TB user-interface. Obviously you don't have to use the midi control aspect and when this is unplugged the synth works exact as it would had it not been modified. The MidiBass-II control is ideal for further editing or chaining patterns on a PC or hardware sequencer, pattern backup etc. The unit functions perfectly without double triggers or scratchy pots which is a very common issue in the original 'well-used' units. Overall the unit is in very good condition but does show some paint loss around the corners and edges as would be expected for saying it is over 25 years old. Otherwise, the machine is very well presented. The MidiBass modifications has not changed the actual synth voice of the machine and the glorious sound of the original unit has been fully preserved. The MidiBass CPU has only added further functionality allowing you to integrate the synth into your DAW of choice as most of us want these days."

eowave Persephone analog synth

via this auction

"Handmade boutique monophonic analog synthesizer with pressure sensitive ribbon controller. This is an amazingly flexible synth with a 100 % analog oscillator. You can set the range of the ribbon controller from a single octave all the way to 10 octaves! The timbre is also adjustable, there’s a nice low pass filter, an LFO, and it’s quite easy to get Moog type “fretless” bass sounds, as well as a very nice theremin imitation (and it’s much, much easier to play than a theremin). With the right amplification, I think you could get a pretty good ondes martenot sound out of the Peresphone, as well some cello-like tones.

It’s very nicely built as well. Nice solid case, smooth, stained wood panel on the top. The expression key is polished wenge. Jacks in the back are clearly labeled. It has MIDI In/Out as well as CV out. It will take an expression pedal (not included) as well.

There are four operating modes that determine how the expression key, the ribbon controller, and an expression pedal will behave. The oscillator can produce a sine wave, a triangle and smooth gradations in between. In addition, you can use the Persephone as your MIDI controller, and use practically any midi equipped synthesizer or sound module as your sound source, while maintaining the pressure sensitive ribbon controller on the Persephone as your master “keyboard.” It’s also a great instrument if you’re interested in using non-equal tempered pitches—quarter tones and third tones are just as easy to sound on it as the typical 12-tone chromatic ones, and alternate tunings are as easy to find on it as they are on a non-fretted string instrument, such as a violin, a cello, or a fretless bass guitar.

Detailed review available here.

This is a professional instrument, built by hand in Paris by eowave, and shipped from France here to the U.S. Note that this auction is for the stand-alone “desktop” Persephone, not the suitcase model. It is an exactly as new instrument and will be shipped in its original packaging, complete with the small manual and all other paperwork.

Here’s a link for the eowave description: Note that the desktop Mk I is currently out of stock and no longer available at eowave."
