Why can't these come up on April Fools day?
Just look at it.  Mustard Seed and a missing tooth.

Nth Music Midi Synthesizer / Synth

"The NTH is designed so that a complete beginner can quickly craft incredibly varied timbres. For the synth veteran, the NTH offers relief from layered menus and obscured functions. The NTH puts a smile on the face of musicians and non-musicians, synth geeks and synth novices, children and adults alike.

AWESOME SOUND

We started with a PIC microcontroller and 8-bit DAC to create a dual-pitch oscillator with modulation by waveform, amplitude envelope, detuning, and glissando. Then we added a gritty analog low-pass filter, integrated step sequencer, and simple, intuitive controls. Your initial experimentation will quickly reveal an astonishing range of output: from sweet and sublime to raw, thrashing, and retro sounds.

HACKABLE DESIGN

The NTH is designed for easy modification:

The NTH’s spare hardware DAC channel and electronics prototyping area await your experiments.
We’ve included an ICSP port for connection to the NTH’s PIC16F microcontroller. Use a low-cost USB programmer to modify, upgrade, or completely rewrite the firmware on your NTH.

The NTH Design Source Package includes the design files and source code for every detail of the NTH including electronic hardware, firmware, and enclosure. The package will be available for free download."

Cozy Korg SQ10 Analogue Step Sequencer SN 152097

That's some Kozy synth love right there.

"The Sq10 is by far the best vintage analogue sequencer made in history, more recently , the SND SAM 16 tried to put the SQ10 functions in their design , but it ended up being to complicated to programm as it's a MIDI sequencer. Only the SQ10 can make those rhythms with different step length and variations and tweaking those big knobs in a very intuitive musical way. Eurorack modular is just too tiny for that."

"Why would you buy the new mini imitation of an original legend? This MS20 is from the very first batch SERIAL 144571 ( this is the original MS20 sound) big knobs , great space for tweaking them, not mini mini that you can take in a purse to show to your friends."

I'm giving this one the Synth Bling label just for the purse comment.
