"Very Powerful Eurorack Analog Modular Synthesizer System with digital control.
Consists of nine modules mounted in a 104HP case: Lizard Oscillator/Sequencer; MultiWaves Oscillator/LFO; Stage Variable VCF; OverFolder; ADSR (x2); DualVCA; 4 Channel Mixer and Midi Port. Includes power adapter and 24 colored patch cables of assorted sizes. Tested, with original box. Assembled in USA."

"Hi, this is a short tutorial to demonstrate how to tune #iVCS3 and also a hardware #VCS3's Dynamic Keyboard patched via matrix row 8.
The method uses Osc1, Osc2 and the DK's zero volt Centre F# with the next octave's F# as a reference.
Patch Osc1's Sine wave and Osc2's Triangle wave to the outputs and turn them up so both can be distinctly heard in the middle audible range. (For A=440 set the Oscillators to F#)
Now using Osc1's audible frequency as a reference, tune Osc2 to 1 octave above Osc1 as close as possible.
Now patch the DK to modulate Osc1's Frequency with a pin at i8 and while holding the F# 1 octave above the centre F#, turn the Input 1 Level Knob until both Oscillators are in "perfect" tune (no fringe beats).
The DK should now be "Tuned" so now remove both Osc's waves' outputs and patch Osc2's Frequency with a pin at j8 and patch the wave outputs into the envelope, not forgetting to patch the envelope to the outputs. Both oscillators can now be "played" with equal temperament.
Additional...
If on the hardware your pins are inconsistent you can use the fact that the DK1 has dual Keyboard Voltage Outputs! So patch Osc1 via row 8 and Osc2 via row 9 then set each Input Level Knob separately."
"We had some fun and put together this ridiculous eurorack modular synth case with 26 oscillators. This case produces a sound somewhere between white noise and the biggest swarm / unison detune sound."
The memoricorder really seems to be rare.
I can only (for now) find one other photo showing this and it’s an organ used in a band called The Night Blooming Jazzmen. Photo from 1982 with a DX1800 this time.
A member of that band is Les Deutsch, tech engineer and his father Ralph Deutsch invented the first digital instrument, according to Les’ info on his web page. Later on we can read this is probably more true to the first digital organ.
"LAST CHANCE TO GRAB ONE ON THE KICKSTARTER - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ginkosynthese/sampleslicer-mk2
Here's the mk2 new and improved Sample Slicer from Ginko Synthese. I also have it's little friend (new from GS) the 2hp Mic input that comes with this cute little lofi mic (although it works with other inputs too). The first patch takes a clocked synth sequence and samples that live before pitch, sample length (amount of slices from 1-16) and sample start position are modulated. You can really hear that great 12 bit SP-1200 style quality which is nostalgic and full of character. I then move onto talking into the little mic and manipulating my voice over some basic beats. The Sample Slicer is all about live sampling and manipulation, fun and inspiring it omits sample storage or recall in favour of working in the moment."
