"What we have here is a one of a kind 25 key MIDI controller built into a nice custom wooden case that's meant to be used with any desktop rackmounted synthesizer modules or similar device. The rack is 4U in size and can accommodate most rackmount desktop synthesizers out there including:

Nord Lead 1, 2, 2X, 3, 4 Rack (Nord Lead 1 pictured but not included)
Nord Modular G1, G2
Access Virus Classic, B, C, TI
Roland M1 Rack
Korg MS 20 Rack
Dave Smith Prophet 8 Rack
Elektron A4
Elektron Monomachine
Elektron Octatrack
Future Retro XS
Moog Minitaur
Moog Slim Phatty

and many many more!

You could even mount a 3U Eurorack rig into the case with a MIDI>CV module and have one killer portable Eurorack system (and enough for a space of 1U modules left over)! The case is pretty deep inside and should accommodate most modules.

The keyboard controller inside the unit is an Alesis Q25 and features both pitch bend and modulation wheels as well as octave up/down buttons. The back of the keyboard can be accessed from the rear of the case and includes a USB port, MIDI out jack, and power supply jack.

This is the perfect thing for a musician with lots of rack gear but little way to use them in a live situation or while outside the studio. Very nice build and a great keyboard to boot, just pop in a synthesizer module and go!

You can power the keyboard using USB or AC power. Auction includes USB cable and AC power adapter (the power adapter does not work however and is only included as a reference so you can buy the correct power adapter)."

Make Noise Black and Gold Shared System

Published on Jun 10, 2015 MAKEN0ISE

"The Shared System re-made in Black and Gold w/ the Erbe-Verb and CV Bus added. The personal favorite system of Make Noise founder Tony Rolando, this collection of modules is utilized by all artists for the Make Noise Records Shared System Series. It was also utilized by both Alessandro Cortini and Richard Devine for their performances at the 2012 Make Noise Opening party. The Shared System is the deepest and most complex of our systems bringing together all of our synthesis techniques into one system. From analog FM to voltage controlled granularization, the Shared System will go to more sound destinations than most folks have time to travel to in a single lifetime."

DJing with hardware synths. The focus in this trailer is performing with the Roland TR-909.

'The Exhibitionist 2 DVD is designed to go even deeper into the art form to display, not only how a DJ uses the latest technology, but how he thinks in real time to create and work spontaneously like a musician playing an acoustic instrument or a soloist thinking of rhythms on-the-spot. This is a rare opportunity to see how the technology of today is allowing DJs to be more free and thus, more creative,' says Mills."

"The CD + DVD package will be out in September 2015, 11 years on from the first edition, accompanied by a series of three EP releases serving as “an introduction to the Detroit native’s new effort to go behind the scenes and inside the mind of an electronic musician.” Exhibitionist 2 Part 1 (AX067) kicks off the series, dropping in late June on Axis Records.

All the tracks were written by Mills specifically for the project and will feature in the Studio Mix on the DVD, which gives fans 'an inside view as to how some of the tracks were created'."
