Not the best shots, but you don't see these come up too often. I'm curious if it's because not many were produced or people are just holding onto them.

Human Controlled Voltage

YouTube via Voltor07 | November 04, 2010

"www.borgsteamfactory.com. Lenses by www.fluegge.com. Video made because I was inspired by http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HybC_... I decided that instead of using my Little Phatty, I would use my Taurus III instead. Unfortunately, the GATE IN trick doesn't work on the Taurus, so I used a patch called MUTED ARP and let the arpeggiator do its thing while I acted like myself."

Massive Bugbrand Modular

via indexofmetals on Muff's
"Finally had time to take all the modules out of the separate racks, screw them together as 2 x 3 racks, then put everything back in but better set out, and put together the 2 x 1 rack controller unit. the empty space is for the updated ring mod and I need to find space for a couple of the new EG's and clocking modules. In time it's going to become 3 x 3 as I need quite a few more of the SV filters and couple more utility vco's."

Some Wiard in there as well. Synth candy... Be sure to click the image for the full size shot.

SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS STUDIO 440

via this auction
"Sequential Studio 440 which is a vintage classic drum machine, sampler, sequencer workstation introduced by Sequential (Prophet 5) as the last product they made, originally released in 1986, it's a masterpiece of engineering designed by Dave Smith himself, creator of the Prophet 5

The sound of the 440 is legendary and unique, direct from the early days of hip hop and sample house music, the 440 has an instantly recognizable classic sound as heard on hundreds of hits. I first bought this machine because Mantronik used the 440, I then produced hundreds of tracks using this machine including a Billboard No1 hit. I bought the machine in the UK and recently brought it with me to the US, it is multi voltage and now set to run at US 120v.

The Sequential 440 is such a rare machine now that it is almost impossible to find one working at all, let alone in this great working condition. This is a one owner machine, I have had it since I bought it in 1987 and it has been serviced several times (to have new pads fitted and a check-up) and recently I fitted new rubber pads that are far more durable than the original soft foam ones.

Before the MPC there was the Sequential Studio 440."

CLASSIC CASIO VZ-10M

via this auction
"This is a VERY UNUSUAL electronic music synthesis system. It's digital to the bone, and approaches things in a very unique way, which of course allows it to do things very differently and with unique results...

It harkens from the early 90's, and was CASIO's companion synthesizer to it's flagship FZ-1 and FZ10M Samplers, which were incredible for their time, with multiple looping functions and more.

The sound is often crystalline, icy and gets your attention. Powerful, vintage and cool - the Casio VZ-10M.

Some say this is the greatest Synth Casio has ever made. This is the rack version of the VZ-1."

Check out the originals at www.vinceclarkemusic.com"

Via the Vince Clarke newsletter: "A TRIBUTE TO 'THE ANALOGUE MONOLOGUES'…
The third of Vince's 'Analogue Monologue' short films will be online next week, but in the meantime we came across this fantastic tribute to the series; an 'Analogue Paradox' film made by Theunis and dedicated to the Korg 800DV. It's well worth a look!"
