Good deal on this one considering what it is and the condition if accurate. 8 voice polyphonic analogue synth with it's own unique character.
"This unit is in perfect functional and excellent cosmetic condition looking nearly new. Every key, switch, knob, and wheel work, with no defects. There are a few small nicks on the end caps which I tried to capture in the photos, but they are so small as to be barely noticeable.
This keyboard is quite possibly in the best condition you will ever see, here or elsewhere.
If you are a musician, you may be very familiar with this keyboard, but just in case, here are just some of the features:
61 key velocity touch sensitive, 8-voice polyphonic voltage-controlled analog synth. Has 64 editable memory locations for sounds ("patches") in two banks of 32, plus a factory preset bank of another 32 patches. MIDI in, out, and thru. Front panel display is made with blue fluorescent displays, detaining all the voice settings, including oscillators, waveforms, modulation, sync, envelope generators, filters, and frequency. Playing controls include volume, tuning, voice control, pitch bend wheel, modulation wheel, key transpose, and note hold (sustain)."

Siel DK600 Vintage Analog Synthesizer

"This synth is fully functional, and with regard to appearance - I would give it a 9.5 score out of 10.0. The previous owner took exceptional care of this instrument, and the only noticeable wear is a small, round paint chip on the back panel.
The Siel DK-600 was made in Italy in the mid 1980’s. It is a classic and even a “sleeper classic” in my opinion. A google search will turn up all of the details including the detailed description from vintagesynth dot com which states… ”The DK-600 is Siel's unique Italian take on the mid-eighties programmable polysynth with MIDI implementation (badged as the Opera-6 in the UK). Just like the Juno-106 and Poly-61 of the time, the Siel was a 6-voice synthesizer with straight forward programming, simple effects and digitally controlled analog oscillators (DCO's). However, the Siel, having dual oscillators per voice sounds thicker than the Juno or Matrix because it's got 12 oscillators! And because they're DCO's, you know they'll always remain stable and in-tune even though they are analog in nature. The DK600 has many other nice features such as complete MIDI implementation. There are 3 LFO's for extreme modulation. Both the filter and amplifier have standard ADSR envelope sections. And like similar synths, all the sliders and buttons are intuitively placed on the front panel for hands-on real-time programming."

Stripped White KORG EMX-1

It appears to be painted white rather than stripped. Some custom knobs as well. Such an odd look for it. Like something on an industrial factory floor. The proportions look all out of whack.
It does need some work. From the description:
"Only the Left output has sound. The 1/4 jacks for R, 3, and 4 need replaced. That being said I used the device by just going mono into my mixer. Still sounded good enough for shows since I didn't use panning.
Other than the jacks needing replaced this device appears to function perfectly. It has a custom paint job. You can buy a cover to fix this. I have programmed the synth without finding any other issues. Like I said, pan will not work til the jacks are fixed. This device CAN be used mono. The EMX produces really nice beats and has an amazing synth engine that can do 5 parts. This item is being sold AS-IS, for parts or fix, no refunds. If I had more time I would replace the jacks myself and price higher. Please ask questions before buying. No International shipping. Contiguous USA only.

Korg Minilogue 4 voice analog poly synth unboxing quick jam, demo first impressions synthesizer
Published on Jan 21, 2016 Expanding Sound
"Think of this like you're at the music store, trying out the piece. We took it home, took it out of the box, whipped up a basic beat on ableton with their drum rack, and made a quick, two melody jam with it. Just to try out some of the sounds. The drum part was supplied by ableton, the synth was just straight from the unit. If you like how it sounds, go try it out in the store! My impressions were i loved how light and small it is, and it has a big sound. would have prefered two outputs since there is a built in delay, through the headphone jack I didnt notice much panning, but like I said, this was done after owning the unit for 5 minutes, basically just showcasing how fast you can make music and some cool sounds with it. Hope you enjoy!"

TEMPI PWM Patch
TEMPI PWM Patch from Peter Speer on Vimeo.
"Using the Make Noise TEMPI's Run/Stop behavior as a hack for integrating pulse width modulation into a module which otherwise does not include it.
The patch is described in detail in the video, but the tl;dr versions is: two channels run at the same tempo division, with one controlling the Run/Stop behavior of the other (via the Mod input). Adjusting the phase of the modulator effectively modulates the pulse width of the second channel.
