VEMIA is Peter Forrest's auction house. He is the author of The A-Z of Analogue Synthesizer Books.
Moog Voyager Signature Edition No. 416 / 600 Rarely available these days, one of the initial batches of 600 Voyagers, as autographed by Bob Moog. Includes all original documentation and the sturdy box, as well as the Moog-branded Voyager softcase, which I have never opened, let alone used as the synth has always been used at home. Also included is an after-market black Moog cloth cover (there’s even a Voyager-sized polythene bag that Moog sent me in 2005.) The Certificate Of Authenticity is of course included, declaring that Bob personally inspected this particular Voyager. Software version 3.5, 02/02/2010 but otherwise unmodified from the original issue (128 presets as opposed to 896)"

"SIEL DK-80 rare Stereo vintage keyboard synthesizer (Italy in 1985) with original power supply, pedal controlles and operation manual, everything in great conditions.

Another great feature is a 2-track realtime sequencer, MIDI In/Out/Thru and a NICE built in Chorus!"

"What is it? MiniDexed is a high-performance FM synthesizer that replicates the sound of eight DX7 instances, delivering the iconic tones of the TX816 and TX802. Designed to run 'bare metal' on the Raspberry Pi, MiniDexed operates without the need for a Linux kernel or operating system, ensuring efficient and seamless performance. It is assembled into a custom made case, 3D printed. It’s ready for immediate use and compatible with any MIDI keyboard or sequencer featuring MIDI out. By default, its eight modules are assigned to MIDI channels 1-8, but these settings—and more—can be easily customized using the intuitive menu. Used just 3 hours: I had bought it just to compare it to my vintage TX816. I loaded the same sounds in either synth (yes, it loads by MIDI the DX / TX sounds!) and compared A/B. Simply UNBELIEVABLE. For a deep dive into MiniDexed's software and features, please visit this page."
