Splashtop2 is very convenient apps.
The various usage can be invented.
ableton LIVE was controlled this time."

Thought this was a good example of how even though touch control of existing apps designed for the PC seem like a good idea, the UI is important. Too small and it becomes a burden to use. I'm looking forward to the availability of VSTis on the upcoming Surface tablet from Microsoft, but watching this video is just a reminder that the UI does matter.

The Leipzig-k keyboard design brief was simple; design a keyboard in the true spirit of vintage keyboard monosynths. There’s plenty of rack analogues and digital modelling keyboard synths around, but very few new true analogue keyboards. We aimed to design a keyboard monosynth that looked like it has been beemed back from the past. True, it has an LCD to edit the MIDI functions, but why make life hard! Thick wooden end panels and top panel wood and aluminium spun knob-caps add to the effect. Details such as this don’t come cheap, but the added cost of the hardware to get the right hardware was not omitted or the design compromised. I wanted to design a synth that truly looked the part and had all those classic vintage synth details, and no expensive or time has been spared to bring that. The quality of design, workmanship and detailing is all of top quality. The case is rugged 1.2mm steel, thick wood sides, powder coated metal, silk-screened legend, aluminium apped knobs and more.

So Leipzig looks the part, but it sounds good too. Pure analogue throughout. Discrete transistor, resistor, capacitor design. The only ICs are as you would expect; op-amps and transconductance amps. Of course there is digital circuits; the MIDI circuits, but I think you can forgive us for that! It’s somehow comforting to know that if you open up this synth you will see thousands of discrete components and not just some giany DSP chip! If oyu had the knowledge (and were prepared to lose your warranty) then you could open up the synth and circuit-bend it as you wish, disect your way into the sound or CV path.

The Leipzig-k is more than just a Leipzig rack with a keyboard. An extra LFO/VCA has been added. The depth of the LFO is controlled via the Mod Wheel. A headphone output has been added. CV/CV2/Gate inputs and outputs making this an ideal analogue synth controller keyboard."

Great way to add to your system at a nice price. See pictures below for more details.

via eBay UK

"This device has three light sensors which control the frequency of three oscillators. The oscillators are internally combined in such a way as to produce the obligatory electronic beeps along with strange and cosmic sounds. An on/off switch is provided and an LED which flashes to indicate the speed of the slowest of the three oscillators.

The wooden case is constructed from the finest old vintage junk and found parts!"

Arp Odyssey MK III

"No need to hype this one; it truly is the pinnacle of mono-synth engineering. Its screaming leads, punchy bass, and squealing resonance are matched tonally only by the Minimoog Model D, yet it dwarfs its rival in features, routing flexibility, and tuning stability. With dual oscillators, lowpass and highpass filters, a comprehensive sample and hold section, a pair of envelopes, frequency and ring modulation functionality, pink and white noise, expansive CV in/out, external audio processing, and comprehensive routing of ADSR, AR, S&H, and LFO sections to both the filter and oscillators, it takes much of the functionality of a modular synth and packs it into a remarkably efficient and user friendly framework. Simply put, this is one brilliant synth!

This one has just been serviced and is fully functional. All sliders and switches have been cleaned, deoxidized, and freshly lubricated. A handful of sliders with dodgy tracks were replaced with high quality synthrestore.co.uk replacements, and all sliders have been fitted with new caps. The keyboard functions well; all notes trigger accurately and the bar has been cleaned and deoxidized. All functions on the Odyssey were calibrated less than a week ago and are at spec. It is clean, quiet, stable, trouble free."

Custom red, white and blue slider caps.

"Up for sale is a very cool Farfisa Soundmaker analog Synthesizer. Fully analog. A very nice and organic sound ..
Sound is somewhere in between the Syntorchestra and the Polychrome. It's a performer synthesizer with mono and poly section. To me it's way more interesting than the Synthorchestra due to all possibilities.
It works let's say for about 60% and needs a fix but it's more than worth it!!
Contacts need a good cleaning. Service manual/schematics are to be found on the Net. It's +30 years old..
Unfortunately also a very heavy machine ..
So shipping will be a bit more expensive..
Collection is always preferred (coffee is ready ;)"
