Future Retro 777 with Factory Mods
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"This particular 777 is more than likely one of a kind. About 5 years ago, Jered, the owner of Future Retro performed some mods on this unit.
Here is a list of the mods:
1. Oscillator Tuning Temperature Stability Mod (Internal, I believe "Temp.-Co" resistors were installed)
2. Oscillator 2 SYNC to Oscillator 1 (SWITCH on back of unit)
3. "Sequencer Glide" On/Of (SWITCH on back of unit)
4. Adjust overall VCF Cutoff modifier amount (POT with knob on back of unit)
These mods are awesome and greatly enhance the sonic palette of the 777 voice, without losing any of the stock sounds....[especially the SYNC mod when using the Envelope to sweep VCO B pitch]. The "Glide" on/ off switch is awesome to throw cool variations of patterns in. I liked programming patterns with a ton of glide and then flipping the switch back and forth to toggle between super rubbery and super tight... The VCF Cutoff modifier lets the filter and res go to unbelievable levels. This is by far the most versatile 777 I've ever laid hands on.
And remember, the design and implementation for these mods was professionally performed by the creator of the 777.
This unit is clean and has lived in a smoke/pet free environment."

Blue Lantern Diode Operator VCF Filter Module
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"The Diode Operator Station VCF is an analog filter based on the Steiner Diode array. You patch a 'sound' module like a VCO or Noise Generator into one of the input jacks. You then use the big knob to filter out frequencies and become a star.
There is an on board VCA internally connected to the final output. The vca is turned fully counter clockwise for normal operation. This will allow sound to pass 100%. When you would like to use the module for regular mono synth action you turn the vca knob until the sound is 'closed' or gated. Simply patch an envelope generator to the 'cv' input and turn up the knob. The envelope generator will open the vca. There is also an ouput line level rca jack that you can use to record straight to your daw in mono.
Features
Cutoff Control
Rez Control
Bi-Polar FM Control
Mixable Lowpass, Bandpass, Highpass Level Controls
Charm Control for Wavefolder Variation
VCA with CV level
12dB LP, BP, HP mixable Analog Filter and Diode Wave Folder"

Korg PolySix Analog Synthesizer
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"The Korg Poly Six is a six voice programmable synthesizer, originally released by Korg in 1981. It features chord memory and unison voice modes and an arpegiator. It has 32 user modifiable memory presets. Its 4-pole voltage-controlled filter gives the PolySix a warm, rounded and organic sound. Built in effects include Chorus, Phase and Ensemble (using a 'bucket brigade' analog delay line design), to provide a full, fat sound.
The PolySix was considered revolutionary at the time of it's release. "Korg developed the PolySix with an eye on the Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 trying to provide some of the features found on the more expensive synth in a compact, reliable and much cheaper design."* The PolySix has been so loved that several software emulations of the Poly Six have been created for PC, Mac OS-X, and iPad. This true analog synthesizer has a warm sound and lots of knobs for real time expression and programming. It has been used by many of the great masters of electronic and progressive rock music..."

Pearl Syncussion SY-1 Analog Drum Synthesizer
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"This is the Pearl Syncussion SY-1 from 1979.
It's simple to look at, but is capable of a wide range of highly distinctive sounds, kicks, snares, crashes and some really weird bleeps as well.
These are *rare* you don't see them coming up for sale very often.
It was used widely in early disco to create some pretty cheesy drum synth noises, but has also featured it a lot more since then. It has a classic sound that is very hard to emulate..."
