Akai's MAX25 USB/MIDI/CV controller breaks new ground by giving you unprecedented control over any processor or sound module - MIDI gear, software instruments, or even analog synthesizers with CV and Gate connectivity. Innovative touch faders give you a new way to control parameters, whether you assign them to control faders in your DAW's mixer or use them to tweak effects during a DJ set.
Akai Professional MAX25 Keyboard Controller Features:
• Semi-weighted keys with aftertouch
• MPC pads, MPC Note Repeat, and MPC swing
• Step sequencer and expanded arpeggiator
• CV & Gate outputs"

"Demo for the Modulator Systems MS101-R(a) Dual Momentary/Attenuator Remote. This is a small remote control handset suitable for use with Doepfer, Analogue Solutions, Exclusively Analogue and other modular analog synthesizers. It offers two momentary buttons and one attenuator, around a metre of cable and three pairs of inline minijack sockets to be patched into your modular synthesizer. You can patch modulation through the attenuator and control its depth, patch a triggering LFO through a momentary to trigger an envelope in manually played patterns, create occasional ring modulation by patching a fast running LFO to the filter through a momentary, or anything else you can imagine.
The MS101 sells for 39 UK pounds plus mailing anywhere in the world.
"Strider Systems, Inc. DCS II "Get ready to change what you think..." modified full-page black and white advertisement from page 53 in the April 1979 issue of Contemporary Keyboard Magazine."
Be sure to see the post for some history direct from Jim Christensen, the president and co-owner of the company. From the previous post:
"The company began in 1976 and their first product was the DCS-1. I asked James if they realized at the time that Strider was at the forefront of digital technology for the synth masses.
'Yes, we did know we were pushing the boundaries. The one thing we didn't realize was that if you wanted to be successful as a start-up business you had to be where the expertise was. At the time, there were only three places that met that criterion: Nashville, LA and New York. The only advantage Oklahoma had was low cost of living. As one of our consulting musicians, Richard Bugg, said, "You can starve to death more slowly here than any place else.'"

BTW, it looks like I missed the NAMM and KORG labels for my King KORG post earlier today. If you missed it you can find it here. I added one more official video from KORG to the post. It's the one titled "Korg KingKORG Modeling Synthesizer Product Overview".
