via this auction
Pic of the inside.
"The Sid Station is a 3 oscillator synth that uses The Commodore 64 Voice Chip for its oscillators. Each oscillator has its own wave table sequencer and its own Arpeggiator per oscillator. It has 3 VCA and 3 VCA EGs, 1 for each oscillator, then it goes into a Multimode Analog Filter (very Dirty) and the VCF has it's own envelope generator as well. You have 4 fully programable LFO to route to almost any part of the synth including routing an LFO into another LFO. On the front panel you have 4 programmable knobs to assign any function to control the patch. The Sid will ship with the Giraya Sound Bank set and any of the other sound sets can be downloaded from the Elektrons web site.
The Sid is a monophonic synth but can be put into a fake Poly mode where each oscillator then makes up 1 voice poly making the Sid Station 3 note polyphonic. It can Sync to midi clock as well."

Rheyne - iOS Jam - 4/24/12 (Live Jam #41) Lemur, AniMoog, Geo, and Griid
YouTube Published on Apr 24, 2012 by RheyneMusic
"Stream or download an audio-only version of this jam at SoundCloud: http://snd.sc/K8qcgA
A 100% live improvised jam using only iOS devices and Ableton Live. Lemur is running on two iPads, AniMoog is on a third iPad, Geo Synthesizer is on an iPhone and Griid is running on an iPod Touch. This is a combination of live audio input, wireless MIDI, and wired MIDI through an iConnectMIDI on the lower right iPad. All effects and filters are from Ableton Live, remotely controlled by the custom Lemur templates.
The audio from AniMoog and Geo is being fed into a PreSonus 1818VSL connected to a Macbook Pro. The drums are from NI's Kontakt, and the yellow and red synths controlled by Lemur are the same Massive patches from the RheyneLooper (http://youtu.be/ZvXngE-LiKI). More controls have been added since the RheyneLooper versions, and will be released soon in a "Version 2" of the download package available at Liine's user library.
No preparation was done for this piece in terms of preset tempos or pre-recorded loops. The tempo was determined by the first loop recorded on drums through Lemur. All loops are recorded live."
Bad Trader / Scam Warning
Full thread on Muff's here. You be the judge. In short, two separate people are claiming to have been ripped off and a third received recent trade requests. Normally scams in general would not go up here, but this one is particularly messed up because the person in question appears to be part of the community. This isn't your typical anonymous Craigslist or eBay scam.
The main tips I got from reading the thread is
1. FULLY insure your stuff in case something goes south
2. Make sure you get SIGNATURE confirmation on items you ship and not just Delivery confirmation. They are different.
3. Only trade with people who are widely known, active and recommended in the community.
4. If possible, trade in person in a VERY public place, and cover your back.
Always be careful and use common sense. Assume the worst and be paranoid. If the person doesn't understand why you are taking precautions, they are not worth your time.
Update: The Muff's thread is now public for those that are not members of the forum.
Also see this post for an update for various aliases he has gone by.

Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 Rev. 3.3
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Up for bid is this classic Prophet 5 and case. By far the most stable and dependable of all the Prophet 5 revisions, the Rev. 3.3 came loaded with 120 factory programs, all of which can be edited and saved by the user. These units can also be upgraded to MIDI compatibility, though this one has not been upgraded. I bought the instrument and the case new in ’82 or ’83 but haven’t been able to use it for the past 12 years or so. I hate to see it go, but at this point I think it’s best to pass it on to someone who will put it to its intended use.
Electronics: It just got a complete overhaul. I shipped it off to the highly-regarded Prophet guru at Analog Synth Service in Oakland, CA (not Wine Country). He brought it all back up to factory specs, including the replacement of a control VCA (CA3280) and a voltage controlled filter (CEM3320). He also scaled the DAC, the oscillators, the filters, and reloaded the original 120 factory programs into the main and expansion RAM.
The unit also got all new electrolytic and tantalum capacitors (including the filter caps on the power supply), a new 3-volt memory battery, one new potentiometer, and all the pots and switches were cleaned. The key bed itself was completely disassembled and cleaned, new key bushings were installed, and the metal comb prongs that the keys mount to were leveled. All the key contacts were cleaned and adjusted as well, so there is no misfiring or 'spitting' at all."
