E352 Cloud Mode 'World' Drums
Published on Apr 15, 2018 The Mad Music Machine
"We use the E352 & E370 in Cloud Mode to create some rhythms inspired by some of the sounds we heard at the WOMAD Festival.
The only sound sources in the patch are the E352 and voice 3 of the E370.
We use the pico sequencers to 'tune' the voices but the gates and the patterns are set by the Circadian Rhythms."
Update:
✯RARE✯ EDP Caterpillar for EDP Wasp Gnat Synth
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"An extremely rare 'Caterpillar' controller designed by Chris Huggett. The caterpillar has four ports on the back for controlling up to four EDP synthesizers via 7 pin DIN sockets. One link cable is also included (not pictured in this sale).
As you can see this has aged really well, and has been recently serviced by SRS prior to sale.
The two controls on the front panel are for:
1. selecting how many devices you want to control (1-4 or Voice setting).
2. Selecting Unison, Poly or Cycle, there is also a separate Hold setting that gives you the option of also selecting Unison, Poly or Cycle.
The unit powers off of a single 9V battery.
Note: There is a design flaw with the Wasp circuitry that does not allow the lowest C note (first key from the left) to trigger the Wasp. However by the time EDP designed the Gnat they fixed this problem and the lowest C note will trigger a Gnat, this has been tested as I also own a Gnat and Gnat Special. The unit has been tested working fully prior to listing."

Serge Modular Synth (Random Source) La Bestia II

"This is a just-finished La Bestia II. This is the one with the all-new, all-R*S PCBs, re-designed with Serge himself. I've heard them called 5th Generation Serge and I think that's a pretty good description.
It comes with one of the R*S power supplies (a prototype so no labelling on this one) so you are ready to go out of the box. If you don't have any, I'll throw in half a dozen banana cables too."
I believe this is the first post to feature the mk II model. You can find a couple of previous posts featuring the original La Bestia here. Note with Serge, the names of systems correlate to configurations of various individual modules grouped into one panel. The individual modules themselves are not always new, but rather the configuration / system.

HARTMANN NEURON VS NUKE CONTROLLER w/ Original Box, Discs & Manual

Curious if the manual is orange on one side and blue on the other? If not, why the two different color schemes. Note the second listing only has the blue disc, while the first has both blue and orange. If anyone knows, feel free to comment.

Sequential Circuits Prophet VS SN 0160

"This is an amazing synth in excellent condition cosmetically and in perfect working order. Recently meticulously checked over and serviced by Synth-man extraordinaire James Walker (18th Feb 2018). Latest Sequential software installed, new EL backlight installed, new aftertouch sensors installed, keyboard contacts cleaned, buttons replaced, various chips and connectors replaced to ensure everything is tiptop. Frankly it was working perfectly when I took it to him but he kept checking, replacing components, tweaking and fettling. He is a bit of a perfectionist. I would be surprised if you can find a better one though, as you might expect of a 32 year old unit there is the odd little mark (but you can see how nice it is from the pictures). This unit has had the original factory presets restored giving you a real taste of the mid 80s and onwards."

"Sequential Pro One ——- beautiful 100% functional analog mono synth , fully refurbished (all pots and switches cleaned, caps replaced, J-wires cleaned, bushings replaced and full wood restoration by synthwood.) This unit has an absolutely gorgeous wood grain finish, as well as a backlit pitch and mod wheel (that are either solidly on, or the mod wheel flashes in time with the LFO.)
There’s not much to say other than this unit is ready to rock, has been fully overhauled, looks amazing and sounds like a million bucks. If you are looking for the real deal, here it is - no gimmicks, lines, or questionable work."
