"This listing is for one Tama Techstar TS-202, an analog drum synth module that features two independent voices (snare and a rim). It can be triggered either via drum pad, voltage gate or audio. Unit has some scratches here and there but ultimately works great. Power LED is blue (worth mentioning I suppose)."

I believe this is the first TS-202 to be featured. It might look familiar, but you are likely mistaking it for the TS-204 as seen here.

ARP Pro Soloist 1972 Black and Gold SN 273853 w/ LED Sliders & Buttons

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

Via the seller's description: "Here is an ARP Pro Soloist that I have personally serviced and calibrated. I have replaced all electrolytic capacitors including all of the tantalum capacitors which are known to cause serious problems. This thing should be good to go for years to come!

I have also replaced the 4 faders on the left with custom LED faders as well as an LED transpose switch (curtesy of SYNTH CHASER)

Last but not least I replaced the touch sensor that sits under the keys allowing you to use all the aftertouch effects. The one that was in there initially was on its last legs.

This thing should play like new for a LONG time."

An Update on the Behringer UB-Xa - OB-Xa

And update from Uli Behringer on UB-Xa development, spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child.

"Hello everyone,

I like to give you an update on the UB-Xa development.

When I announced the project some time ago, I mentioned that it would take at least a year as it is a "labor of love" and our Midas engineer would do this as a side project since their main priorities are with digital mixing consoles.

Because of their high workload, the development of the UB-Xa had unfortunately stalled for quite some time.

Good news is that the team is working on it again and we have just finished all schematics and the mechanical design while the team is now focusing on the board layout and firmware.
This is a major job and don't expect anything soon, however we are confident that we will deliver this project as promised and hopefully at a price which will make everyone happy.

In order to maintain the integrity of the original sound design, we've been using 3340 and 3320 VCO's and VCF's but replaced the outdated digital section with very powerful Arm Processors.

Thanks for your patience.

Uli"
