This is actually the Steiner Microcon which paired with the Steiner EVI (Electronic Valve Instrument), however according to this post "the Microcon works perfectly alone, without the EVI connected. It could be easily included in a complex analog synth setup, adding the unique original Steiner Parker sound from its very compact but versatile box."

I'm not sure what voltage these work with so who knows how well these would track with modern modular gear.  If you know, feel free to comment.

"In perfect working order, you have 4 separate and complete mono synths, one big poly, or any combo in between- fully analog but controlled by MIDI. It has separate ins/outs for each channel, so I often used it as a filter bank for a guitar. Once had 4 people playing it with four separate controllers, too. The 72 silver metal knobs are rare, most of them seem to have plastic ones. As you can see I've taken good care of it in a smoke free studio rack, it was used for recording and never gigged.
Includes power cable, manual, and adorable "memory" sheets that came with it- basically paper overlays that allow you to mark the position of knobs in your favorite patches. I guarantee you will never use them."
