"Analog synthesizer with 32 full-size keys, 3340 VCO with 4 simultaneous waveforms, VCF, ADSR, 32-step sequencer, arpeggiator, and live performance kit

The 1980s and 90s spawned a new “wave” of synth performers including Devo, The Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy, The Crystal Method and a host of others, all empowered by the sound of a simple strap-on instrument that let keyboardists steal the spotlight away from their guitar- wielding bandmates. An ultra-affordable homage to that iconic synthesizer with all the features of the original and then some, such as a 32-step sequencer, arpeggiator and live performance kit, the Behringer MS-101-RD Synthesizer lets you conjure up virtually any sound with incredible finesse and ease. With its 32 semi-weighted full-size keys, pure analog signal path, authentic 3340 VCO with 4 simultaneously-mixable waveforms, plus extremely flexible VCF and VCA filters, the MS-101-RD is sure to become your favorite keyboard. Owning the MS-101-RD is like having your own personal time machine, enabling you to embrace the past – or make your imprint on the future!

Rare S3n0Я (Senor) - Dr. Ummod Roland TR-909 Eurorack Module

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

via this auction

"This is a very rare 6 voice Roland Tr-909 Eurorack module. There are only about 5+ of these that will ever be made and Señor is impossible to even contact so this is a true rarity. This module was made by Russian engineering mastermind S3n0Я (Senor) with the hats made by Ryk TheKreator. I bought this off happily for exactly what I am selling it for from Russian synth wizard Fedor Vetkalov.

Fedor uses synths with the like of Depeche Mode among others. This is what Fedor had to say about Senor's modules - "his modules are the most amazing and I heard all of them"

He loved this module and tested it against an authentic Tr-909 concluding "the ummod kick, snare are almost 100% identical to the 909 hats are different.

Custom drum-voice with kick (with updates), snare, clap, rimshot from 909 and dual "liquid hi-hats" from Ryk Thekreator with VCA & decay."

You can find previous posts featuring S3n0Я including demos here.

via this auction

"This is an EMax II. Included is a 100mb Zip Disk, with 2-100mb Zip drives filled up with EMAX sounds. The original floppy works and has several OS disks as well as several blanks. I have also replaced the display with blue letters on a black ground, the old one was getting impossible to read. This thing is a beast thats why the shipping is so high. I will ship the keyboard in its original box, and the zip disks, dirive, and power supply in a separate box. Model 2212"
