You can literally see the ladder array in the inside pics below.

From the listing:

"I have only seen this quality of construction on military equipment. I slid the sides off to get the pictures. The four Allan Bradly pots that are geared together for frequency selection give a 24db per octave cutoff slope. This could be the finest analog filter of its kind. Selectable Low Pass or High Pass. Low pass is DC coupled for best fidelity. Frequency range 20Hz to 2 Mhz . COMPLETE bench test. This unit is 100%... Complete specs can be found here."

Interesting accessory.

"Original vintage Yamaha ADP1 cartridge adapter. The ADP1 allows the original DX-7 cartridges to be used in your DX-7 II cartridge port. Works perfectly."

This is the first post to feature Radiusz. Note the listing is for the card only, not the Microwave.

Details from the listing:

Custom-built Multibank RAM Cartridge with 16 banks for the storage of sound patches and performances. So it's essentially 16 (or 8 or 4*) cards in 1 !

Compatible with Waldorf Microwave Mk1, and all synths etc. that use the Bee-Card type cards. (01/W, Wavestation Series, M and T Series, DS8, 707, A1-A2-A3 FX processors....)

NOTE 1: Korg MCR-03 is in fact identical, it's only a name re-brand by Korg after adopting the Bee-card cartridge format, for use in their equipment.

NOTE 2: Can be configured as either 16 banks x 32 kB, 8 banks x 64 kB, or 4 x 128 kB card. 16 x 32 kB is most common, but please specify the required format upon ordering. Thank you!

Bank selection rotary switch, back-up battery with a life span of 40+ years (Yes, those modern memory chips really are a LOT more energy efficiƫnt than those old ones! ;-) "

Elektron

"In August of 2020, two Elektron employees entered a room in an abandoned office complex deep in the heart of Gothenburg, Sweden. In the middle of the room sat a tape atop an old analog device. This was their conversation with that device."

Erae Touch: the Expressive Music Controller.



Looks a bit like a giant version of Roli Blocks. The following are a few videos from their YouTube channel followed by some details from their Kickstarter.

Unboxing Erae 2 - Midi Controller & Looper




"This multitouch pad makes the best use of the MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) protocol.

This new MIDI norm goes deeper in velocity dynamics and is more accurate in microtonal variations. Granting faster information transmission between your DAWs and synths for easier mappings and routings.

Rediscover your favorite synthesizers by triggering multiple effects at the same time with XYZ/3D-Pads, polyphonic aftertouch, released velocities or arpeggios effects.

All those features allow for true expressive and musical gestures such as glissando or portamentos, vibratos or pitch bends for every note you play.

Create your own layout with simple elements

From action keyboards and settings adjustment to rhythmics objects:

Erae Touch has everything you would expect from a traditional MIDI controller and inherit from the innovation and new standard in the music industry.

Play multiple instruments on the same layout

Easy to play with, provided with advanced templates and quick menu access to optimize your workflow, it will become a central element in your music set.

Split your layout to control several of your favorite VSTs or synths without menu diving!"

You can find additional details at their Kickstarter campaign here.

Some synth spotting with King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard off of their 2019 album Fishing For Fishies. Can't believe I haven't posted this one yet.

Props look like an ARP 2600 meets LMNC. Also a Fairlight / PPG Waveterm looking CRT in there as well.
