"This one is in excellent cosmetic condition and working 100%. Beside the servicing & internal restoration, the metal chassis was professionally repainted and silk-screened as it was pretty ugly and scratched up. Internally, I decided to keep this one stock without adding midi. It is ready to be played and needs nothing!"

Sequential Circuits Split Eight Synthesizer - SCI Split 8
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
Similar to the Multi-Trak, Six-Trak, and Pro-8. Same core synth engine, slightly different implementations. The Pro-8 had the white board on the right and the classic white on black SCI panel graphics.
"The Split-8 is a polyphonic analogue keyboard synthesizer manufactured by Sequential Circuits. Built in Japan and going by the alternative name 'Pro-8' in some markets, this was one of the last synthesizers produced by the company and was assigned model number 608. It was released in 1985 at a list price of $1,199 (or $1,195; this number varied between advertisements). This and some other Sequential Circuits synthesizers (the Six-Trak, Multi-Trak and MAX) were built around the Curtis Electronics CEM 3394 'synth-on-a-chip' integrated circuit, and used a Z80 as their central microprocessor."

Alesis Andromeda A6 Classic Analogue Synth with Original Box
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Real Analog Powerhouse
Andromeda’s fully analog signal path is controlled by a high-speed Motorola Coldfire microprocessor, offering 16-voice polyphony with 16-part multitimbral capability. Andromeda features two analog oscillators per voice, with standard waveforms (available simultaneously), suboscillators, hard and soft sync, and more. It provides two analog filters per voice: these 2-pole (multimode) and 4-pole (lowpass) resonating filters are classically-derived designs, and offer you an astounding range of sonic variability. Andromeda also provides external audio inputs that allow you to route any signal through its filters. Andromeda has three LFOs, each with six waveforms and many powerful features. It also has three 7-stage, 3-level envelopes capable of functions never before found in any analog synthesizer. An extensive mod matrix offers you an enormous freedom in configuring Andromeda’s sonic firepower, adding to its monstrous capabilities.
In-Depth Control of Your Sound
Andromeda’s 61-note synth-weighted keypad features velocity and aftertouch sensitivity, and its ribbon controlled offers multiple, assignable functions. A distinctive, futuristic front panel features 72 knobs and 114 buttons (the majority are single function), optimally arranged for rapid-fire tweaking and in-depth experimentation. Andromeda’s large, backlit LCD display provides real-world values of parameters (time, frequency, BPM, etc.) and high-resolution graphics. No other synth has ever offered such a sophisticated, informative control panel for creating analog pyrotechnics."

Studio Electronics Code 8 SN 1395

"Very rare full 8 stereo voice Code 8 OD (enhanced version of Omega 8) - all voices have Oberheim and Moog filters as well as overdrive (OD) boards.
Without doubt the best sounding synth I have ever owned, and that list includes Andromeda, Jupiter 6/8, MKS80, Prophet 12, Voyager etc - very reluctant sale as somehow finishing house build is more important at the moment :-(
Official Description/Spec:
TRUE HYPE
8 sinewave generators for Oscillator 1 and the brilliant new Filter Control Section which allow sweeping and tweaking the discrete filter types in real time (as opposed to unreal?), set this NovaMusik-partnered Omega Series Synth apart from our beloved, standard issue Omega 8s. Clever switches in the Filter Control Section also contribute to the CODE's expressiveness via momentary control of assignable parameters, and full panel control—secluded behind veils of edit windows in the Omega—of the auto-triggering External Audio Input, jack you wholly into the synth's processing and punctuating power."

Vintage Simmons SDS V Electronic Analog Drum Synth Brain SN 000605
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Simmons SDS-V Analog Drum Brain. This unit has 1 Snare module and 3 Tom Tom modules. The Snare and two of the Toms (and the mixer module) work great. The 3rd Tom has a bad pot (and it is very difficult to find the proper value/size pot to replace it with). The Factory Preset works fine, the two adjustable User Presets work fine, but when you set it to be adjusted by the knobs, it does not work. There are some missing knobs and knob caps. Overall pretty decent cosmetic condition."
