"You're looking at the Schlagzwerg, the semi-modular version of a few of MFB's range of eurorack drum modules along with a powerful step sequencer module. There's a bass, a snare, a tom tom, hi-hat/cymbal plus a mixer too. It's set up so you can use it straight out of the box with no patching but it can be fully integrated into your modular synth for additional possibilities. It's a really groovy little drum machine, and is still in as-new condition. Comes with a power supply, but it's a euro power supply so you'll probably need an adaptor..."

"Yamaha's SK-series are combo-keyboards with synthesizer, organ, brass and string sections. The SK-10 was the first of the SK-series, released in 1979 - the SK-20, 30 and 50D followed in 1980, and the SK-15 in 1981, possibly as a replacement for the SK-10. The SK-10 is the only one in the series that does not incorporate a synth section, but has organ, brass and string sections that can all be played together for more interesting combinations. Very sturdy casing, 4-octave and fully polyphonic the features also include a leslie simulator, vibrato, attack and sustain rocker switches, a slider for 'brilliance' and a one-octave transpose switch. Not exactly feature-laden, but a lovely string synth sound. Interestingly, they are often referred to as 'analog', but in fact do have a digital section. Its organ has one of the early implementations of Yamaha's FM technology in a very limited form, concurrent with the GS-1/2 development platforms which eventually led to the DX series.

"Showing that this rev 2 Prophet-5 works and sounds like it should." via this auction More pics at the auction including some of the inside below. See the seller's other items for more. "This auction is for a working Rev 2 Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 analogue synthesizer. The synth was recently serviced by Greg Montalbano of Analog Synth Service and has had several updates done: Cassette Mod (allows for programs to be transfered using AFSK) Power supply mod: eliminates the +12 and -5 DC supplies for better stability +5v ROMs installed, final version, digital board modified for this (part of power mod) power supply recap, trim, digital and analogue calibration Includes a new pack of keyboard bushings (the bushings are currently good, no clacky keys) digital and analogue board power rails have been recapped battery shows 3.0v The previous owner had a remote keyboard and pedal setup for this unit. That required additional jacks be mounted in the back, including a 5 pin DIN style connector. The modification was removed by Greg and two of the jacks were used for the cassette mod. The DIN connector is still installed, but not wired. This could be used for a MIDI IN connection at some point in the future. The pitch wheel has also been modified so that it change the pitch UP by two octaves. In the video I try to demonstrate the following: All notes trigger, no double triggering factory programs load and sound as they should manual mode: near zero beat tuning between oscillator 1 and 2 unison tuning filter harmonics (the rev2/SSM is famous for this sound), slow LFO sweep poly-mod VCO 2 modulating PW of 1 (rev 2 is also famous for this as the SSM VCOs tend to be less stable than the CEMs in the rev 3)..."
