New Mayer EMI Vibes X-VA Synthesizer
A mini MD900. Some details Google translated from Amazona.de:

As with the MD900, the X-VA sound engine features 4-part multitimbrality, two virtual analog or wavetable oscillators per voice and an additional sample-based noise section, 16-voice polyphony and stereo. The multimode filter allows the emulation of classic filter types and the routing matrix allows the routing of the different modulation options. Finally, each of the four parts has its own effects section, with reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, compressor, EQ, and more.
In addition, you find a sample-based drum section, an arpeggiator, a step sequencer and a clip launch function. On the subject of connectivity, the latter seems quite complete, with inputs and outputs on 6.35 mm jack, a DIN MIDI input and output, or three USB ports.
The release date has not yet been announced, but the Vibes should be available from retailers of the brand at a price of around €2,000. More information to follow on the Mayer EMI website."

Superbooth 2023: Makenoise - Spectraphon
video upload by sonicstate
"Walker at Make Noise unveiled their new Spectrophon, a digital dual spectral oscillator coded by Tom Erb of SoundHack at Superbooth 2023. The Spectrophon is a dual oscillator laid out with two almost identical sides, A and B. Unlike the analog waveform outs, the even and odd harmonic outputs generate harmonics at the fundamental frequency that is set with the frequency knob and dependent on which mode they're in. The Spectrophone also features two modes, SAM or spectral amplitude modulation mode, and SAO or spectral array oscillation mode. The former listens to the input, patch a signal into it, and generates a harmonic spectrum at the output based on what it hears. Meanwhile, the latter holds arrays of spectra in memory that can be modulated.
In addition to the Spectrophon , Make Noise also announced a new version of their 7U CV bus case with a brand new four-zone bus board inside. This board is significantly more powerful than the previous bus board and has four different isolated zones, making it ideal for power-hungry modules that are susceptible to noise. The CV bus has been updated to have a voltage math circuit similar to the one from the ZeroCoast. This simple circuit has offset, summing, and attenuation features for whatever one may need in their system. The new version of the CV bus case will be available for purchase at the end of this summer.
The Spectrophon will be available for purchase at $599 and will ship at the end of May.

EMS VCS3 The Putney SN 1024
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"This is a rare chance to secure an original VCS3 in excellent condition. This is one of the most iconic and revered synths of all and is truly versatile: from Radiophonic Workshop (and Hawkwind) type bloops and bleeps, through Eno and Roxy Music and beyond. Tony uses his VCS-3 as much as an effects processor as synthesizer and has said it’s his favourite studio piece.
We are often asked whether mods adversely affects the value of a VCS3. Some collector types may view it as sacrilege, but most who buy a VCS-3 to use often value mods highly – many of our customers ask for more, rather than less, modifications. So, in short, in our view the answer is mods often add value/appeal rather than detract. These wonderful synths should be used rather than placed in glass cases."
