Yamaha PSS-680 FM synth, with multi-fx mod, PART 1: Item description.
Published on May 13, 2013
Update via Glen on Facebook: "My PSS-480 was my first synth in 1989, I still have and use it. The PSS-x80 series all have the same multi waveform 2op FM synth engine at their heart. The 480 and 580 are identical other than colour and patch changes, as are the 680 and 780. The only true differences between the 4/580 and the 6/780 are the extra sampled drum sounds, the drum pads, the pitch bend wheel, and different rhythm presets. Although the programming is simple (yet surprisingly versatile) on the synth itself, via sysex the x80 series have a surprisingly well specified synth engine with key scaling and multi stage envelopes amongst other things. You can download an old Windows editor from here... http://members.chello.at/~bobby100/ (go to the downloads section) As I say though, even with all my other better specified and more modern gear, I still use mine. Although it's kinda cheesy and dry sounding on its own, when run through a couple of basic effects it can sound fantastic. It's particularly good fun when played via my Andromeda (via MIDI) but with the audio from the PSS passing back through the Andy to make use of the filters and effects. It seems to excel at bass and pad sounds, although some cracking leads can also be found too."

Set so far (wip)

"Not finished but been wanting to put another vid up, so here is a jam with what I have so far.
A couple of cock-ups but nothing I can't work on. Some of the later transitions need a bit of work and I have a lot more I can do with the Octatrack which is barely being used other than as a fancy mixer at this stage.
Also my camera is crap, it really wasn't that dark in there.
Loving the sounds that I am getting out of the monomachine, it is an awesome machine."

Synthesis and Sound Design Course
Published on Apr 30, 2013 DJ Vespers·178 videos
"Synthesis & Sound Design Masterclass is a monster course spanning close to 50 videos with over 22 hours of total training. It will take you from a novice or even moderately accomplished synthesist to the next level, and then to the one beyond that. We'll take a cross platform approach to sound design, looking at techniques and tips that are common to many instruments, allowing you to get the most out of what you already have.
This course is jammed full of practical knowledge, explantations, and concise breakdowns of why things work the way they do. Divided into two styles of video, each synthesis concept is explained in a "theory" video and then shown in action, in a series of "practical" videos where you get to watch a detailed construction of a high quality synth sound.
These sounds are both cutting edge and classic, and are all hand crafted by Myagi on screen to give you an up-close view of each concept in action.
3 more preview videos are available here, on Series and Parallel, creating a Monster Sync Lead, and Self Oscillating Filters:

moog mg1 3 oscillator vintage analogue analog synthesizer
Published on May 14, 2013 orangecoals·28 videos
"A very fat synth !! the 3 rd oscillator really opens up some extra sound possibilities"
The MG1 is a two oscillator synth. I'm guessing this one has a 3rd oscillator mod.
Update via caleb in the comments: "Well, the polyphonic section can be counted as a 3rd oscillator, no mod needed."
Update 5/20: this one is currently listed here.

"This Neuron is mint. It has been fully upgraded and by that I mean cooling system, main board, PSU and HD. All of its original replaced parts are included and still function normally. An amazing third party sound F/X CD-ROM is also included. It really is something to hear. Also included are the Ether to USB cable, manuals and spare tactile switches and knobs. It is the most unique sounding piece of kit I have heard and I've heard a lot. If you want something different for your studio then look no further..."
