"The first model of synthesizer to feature VA (virtual acoustic) tone generation based on physical modeling, a complete departure from sampling and FM.
A VA tone generator creates sounds by simulating the physical mechanism by which wind, string and other instruments produce sound.
The virtual instruments simulate characteristics such as the shape and materials of music instruments, allowing the creation of tonal changes that respond to the breathing and playing methods used.
The VL1 was created with reed instruments and other wind instruments in mind, and thus is two-note polyphonic.
The Yamaha VL1-m is a pressure and velocity sensitive 3U rack (2 voice) Virtual Acoustic modelling synthesizer, featuring up to 2 elements, 3 effects processors, MIDI, disk drive, and 128 presets. Each element features a modelled instrument and associated controllers/modifiers. Element controllers include pressure (with preset ADSR envelope), embouchure/pitch (with IHD envelope), vibrato, tonguing, amplitude (with AADSR envelope shared with filter), scream, breath noise, growl, throat formant, dynamic filter (high, low, or band pass or band reject), harmonic enhancer (FM), damping, and absorption. Modifiers include extensive key scaling, 5 band parametric equalizer, Impulse Expander (delay), and resonator (parallel delays)."
"MUTE SYNTH II - 2014 Dirty Electronics Handheld Synthesizer / Sequencer. Comes with original box and everything you see in the pics. This is one crazy little synth that I never quite got my head around, but you can definitely make a hell of a racket with it! Works fine, and is in good cosmetic condition. Please study pics for further details."

"Today 1010Music announced Razzmatazz a digital drum synth. Really excited to announce that I did some sound design work for this awesome new drum synth by 1010music. This video shows how easy it is to change a snare sound and use the sequencer. I also show how fun it is to use Razzmatazz to expand your existing electronic drums and tabletop setup. PLUS bonus interview with Aaron Higgins of 1010Music at the end."
