WAVE KIT SA13 1980 DIY Analog Synthesizer
video upload by Time Tripper
"This is an analog synthesizer that I made when I was in high school.
At that time, it was a transition period from analog to digital, and soon the era of personal computers began. I think this was the last time I touched analog circuits.

高校生の時に自作したアナログ・シンセサイザーです。
当時はアナログからデジタルの過渡期で、程なくしてパソコンの時代になりました。
アナログ回路に接したのはこれが最後だったと思います。

"Phantom Hand. Touch based noise instrument an experimental sound machine. 12 oscillators per finger. 24 in palm. 1 knob to control the pitch. Oscillators go from tone to rhythm. Palm oscillators are controlled all by touch alone. It has an Echo/delay/reverb /low pass filter effect built in control by 2 Knobs at the top. Great for horror and sci-fi sounds. Drone away in to other dimensions."

Never seen one of these before - this is the first post to feature the Caruso, spotted in the listing below. I did a quick search for one on Youtube and found the video above from 7 years ago.

Buchla - 223e
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"The 223e comprises two components: A 3-panel-unit tactile surface (the Multi-Dimensional Kinesthetic Input) for generating user control data, and the single-panel Tactile Input Port module, which provides edit / programming control for the tactile surface, and houses the control voltage outputs and the controls for the built-in arpeggiator.
The tactile surface features an ergonomic array of 27 velocity- and pressure-sensing keypads, fourteen of which respond to location in one or two dimensions. Pressure sensitivity ranges from feather-weight to several pounds. Arranged into multiple user-defined groups ranging in size from 1 to 25, the keypads can produce a wide array of user-programmed control voltages. The surface can be mounted in three panel spaces in a 200e-series cabinet (usually in the lowest boat, for playing convenience), or independently mounted in a 201e-3 Passive Frame.
Location, pressure, impact, and tuned voltages, as well as pulses generated by the tactile surface are presented at a total of 30 outputs on the Tactile Input Port module.
The arpeggiator features multiple patterns, internal and external clocks, and a variety of additional features. All settings, including Tactile Input keypad programming, can be saved and recalled by the Preset Manager on the 225e or 206e module."

"By now, everyone knows the sound of the Juno-6/60. From the mixable Sawtooth and Square wave shapes on the Oscillator, all the way through to lush stereo chorus at the end of the signal chain. Junos may not be the most complex synthesizers out there but they are almost impossible to get a bad sound out of. Basses, pads, leads, arpeggios, it can do it all. This Juno 6 may not have preset recall or a DCB port like the 60, but sounds exactly the same.
This synthesizer is in great shape over all showing some average cosmetic wear. Fully restored internally, all electrolytic capacitors replaced, all contacts cleaned for smooth operation.
Serial number: 0204915"
