PolySicks?

"Poly is a cracker?
This is the progressive acid mod."
What was that effect called where it sounds like the pitch is ever increasing when it actually is not?
New Behringer Analog Synth is 12 Voice Polyphonic
BEHRINGER Synth Vol 4 Published on Jul 23, 2016
"New Behringer Analogue Polyphonic Synth"
You can see the 12 voices light up at 1:49 - screen grabs below. Curious what the price will be for this one. Behringer is usually quite affordable. Will they be for a 12 voice poly analog? So far it does sound nice imo.
Update: rumored MSRP will be about a grand. Note this is a rumor only, but there was mention it could be 10,000 SEK, which currently comes out to 1155.96. Some are guessing it might come in at under a grand if you do not include VAT.

Sequence
Published on Jul 23, 2016 100 Things I Do
"A Sunday morning noodle, on a dual sequence. My Home made VCS3 (really need to make a proper cabinet for it), Dave Smith Instruments Pro 2 , Roland TB 3 and The Access Virus Indigo. There is a little bit of digital clipping in the mix at one point as everything was recorded as you see it and I didn't notice until mix down. Hope you enjoy."

"When someone gifts you a whole load of new patch cables, it's surely rude not to dedicate a new patch to them. So this one's going out to the generous Mark Lyken
Technical details: This is made with my slowly developing Verbos Electronics modular system with support from a Doepfer A-149-1 and Make Noise Maths. These will hopefully sooner or later be replaced with a Verbos Random Sampling and Multi-Envelope. (I'm pretty certain as soon as this video goes viral another Mark will be gifting me the aforementioned modules ;-) ).
No effects and direct to firewire interface. I've also kept the camera microphone audio on because it adds a little live vibe and an opportune title."

"Great shape. Hardly played. A couple scrapes from moving it. It was a gift to me from Bob after I interviewed him for Grand Royal (Beastie Boys) magazine."

"This in an original OBxa 8 voice, 120 program in fully functional condition. The synth is clean, fully intact, all 8 voices work and are very stable, and all knobs controls and jacks are working as they should. It looks great in the studio!
The OBXA has been serviced with a rebuilt power supply (more robust than stock) new key bushings for a beautiful key action, polished jwire system so all keys trigger w/o issues, and plenty of fresh capacitors and IC's were installed as preventative maintenance. A new battery and the factory patches were also installed recently..."

Roland MKS-80 Rev. 4 "Super Jupiter" 8-Voice Analog Synthesizer (CEM Version)
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

"This is Revision 4 with CEM3340 VCOs and CEM3360 VCAs. VCF is Roland IR3109.
Full working condition, including the infamous backlight. Cosmetically 8 out of 10 - the front panel has a couple very minor nicks (mostly on the top edge), the top cover has some scratches from racking and unracking.
When I bought the synth just over two years ago, the following work was done:
The backlight circuit was rebuilt with a new high-voltage transformer and new transistors.
New electroluminescent strip was installed behind the display.
Brand new Panasonic filter capacitors were installed in the power supply.
All connectors were cleaned and reseated.
Voice boards were checked for issues and adjusted against the service manual.
The AC inlet socket was replaced with a standard 3-prong IEC socket.
Assigner board ROM v4.0 and voice board ROMs v2.0 were installed.
The two faders and the Tuning pot were cleaned."
