A little history on the synth via the seller: "I have owned this since 2009 when I bought it from a collector in Kingston upon Thames. I used it for several years in a band until we all went our separate ways due to geographical reasons (also, we weren't very good). It has been sitting in my spare room unused for the last few years so I have decided to sell it on to someone who will make use of the amazing sound it has to offer.
Even though it has a few scratches and marks here and there, it is fully working. All keys, effects and knobs are work perfectly and are fully functional. It has a lovely warm tone to the preset sounds (these can be seen in one of the photographs), as well as a phase shifter, attack and sustain, and tone effects. I bought this without the lid, I imagine it would be hard to source one, but not impossible - I haven't looked as I didn't have a need for it.
This Korg was introduced in 1976 and used by the genius that is, Jean-Michell Jarre, as well as Tangerine Dream and Hawkwind. Also, I used it in a band - not worth mentioning."

Synthwerks PGM-4x4 Programmer/Sequencer/Controller Eurorack Synthesizer Module

"The PGM-4X4 is a multi-functional module that performs two different tasks. The main function is that of a programmer. Four columns of four separate control voltages can be individually chosen via the manual push-button or external gate inputs under each column. There is also an internal bus that allows direct normalized connection to the 4 gate outs of a separateFSR-4 (FSR-4 or FSR-4C family). The CV output range is selectable via internal jumpers to be either 0V to +5V or 0V to +10V (approximately) so that some rows can be set to be better suited for controlling more voltage sensitive destinations (such as the pitch of VCOs).
When all four push-buttons are held for a couple of seconds, the PGM-4X4 converts into sequencer mode. In this mode the four column gate inputs and manual pushbuttons switch to sequencer duty. Their functions are shown on the front panel in parenthesis. These are the classic Clock in, Reset in, Run/Stop, and Manual Step controls found on most sequencers.
The PGM-4X4 can be chained to another PGM-4X4 to create a 4×8 programmer or a 4×8 sequencer. PGM-4x4s can also be stacked to add as many row outs as you have room in your cabinets, allowing such things as a 4 column by 12 row programmer or a 8 step by 8 row (or more) sequencer."

BONSAI BEAT!!
-------
Side note, not to detract from the videos: THOR!!! reminded me of how much I'm hoping Apple comes out with a larger iPad Pro this year. I have an original iPad that I use mainly with to edit some of my hardware synths that lack a decent interface, and for light sequencing. I have a Mini Retina for email when away from the laptop and for synths apps. It's nice and gets the job done, but I find I'm missing the larger interface when it comes to editing. I considered an iPad Air, but decided to hold off to see if I prefer the rumored larger "Pro" model.
