"The Stylophone is a miniature stylus-operated synthesizer invented in 1967 by Brian Jarvis. It was 1st produced in 1968. Rock star David Bowie used a Stylophone in his recordings, "Space Oddity" and "Slip Away." (Wikipedia has a good description of it)
This is one of the 1st models. It comes with its original box, songbook made specifically for it (dated 1968), and the working stylus. It uses a 9-volt battery. It is in good condition for its age. It is missing its battery cover but does not affect its performance."
"StudioBLADE™ keyboard production stations represent a giant leap in music production technology. They are simply the most powerful, compact and affordable keyboard production stations available today.
What is a Keyboard Production Station? Keyboard production stations can be loosely defined as keyboard workstations that are connected to a computer, which is needed to provide additional processing power and features. While keyboard workstations are suited for live performance and sketching out ideas for a song, keyboard production stations, with built in high-power computer cores, allow users to go from composition to recording to mixing and finally mastering of songs that are ready for radio or direct Internet distribution.
More Power: StudioBLADEs are powered by high-performance computer cores utilizing Intel® processors that are perfect for today's demanding musicians and the virtual instruments and software applications they use. Running Windows® 7 (64-bit), StudioBLADEs are extremely versatile, powerful and perpetually upgradeable. Base models equipped with Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processors can be easily upgraded to the latest Intel® Core™ i5 processors for even more performance.

Additional sound presets will be made available on a regular basis from Music Computing, enabling the user to compose with even more creativity.
Ground-Breaking Price: In the past, keyboard production stations or keyboard workstations outfitted with external computers were relatively expensive, leaving the average person to only dream about owning one. Well-equipped StudioBLADEs start at only $2,599, making them an affordable tool virtually any musician can afford.
"A demonstration of the Cyclick FreeMoog in action. This is a snippet of a 12 minute recording session I did a week ago."
"This is the Cyclick FreeMoog synth, a VST plugin that is useful for making electronic, industrial, and noise music. I use the SaviHost program to run the plugin. Not shown is the Mod Panel, which contains a Matrix Modulation, LFO, FX, CV Sequencer and an Arpeggiator."
"The Waldorf PPG 3.V is the reincarnation of the PPG Wave Synthesizer which was originally developed by Wolfgang Palm, who is also the inventor of Wavetable Synthesis. Wolfgang Palm was brought back on board to assist in the development process of PPG 3.V. Included in this demonstration of the Release Version 1.0 are some of Mr. Palms favorite patches from Jay de Miceli's factory bank (019 Eternally Resistant, 023 H A A R P E D).
All Sounds in the Stubenhocker demonstration are from JdM's (Jay de Miceli) factory content, utilizing the PPG's Multi Mode. The composition was completed without the use of an external sequencer, using only a combination of the Arpeggiator and the SEMITONE-KEY mode, along with some careful modulation routing to improvise a nifty sequencer. The finished sound is achieved by using only the on board effects and EQ. In fact the only thing that was not from Waldorf was use of the Allen and Heath Zone 92 filter and a bit of compression. The whole piece uses 8 voices with a modest CPU hit of no more than 4% of an Intel i7.
Jay de Miceli's factory bank includes his one of a kind Vinyl Attack drum sounds which he uses beautifully in Stubenhocker, showcasing the ability to achieve club ready drums and percussion with the PPG 3.V right out of the box."
"Just Playing around with this Free app called Little Midi Machine, Line 6 midi Mobilizer, iPad and Novation Nova. This app is a Sequencer and doesn't play any sound, it just sequences notes. Feel free to skip around this long ass video. Peace."
"@BeatMakerTV - Reforge iPad App Demo (More Features than Shown) Check it out. It's worth the money. Very Useful App if you know what your doing. Especially the Stereo Split feature specially Requested by ME! Closest thing to Soundforge on the iOS. The Developer @ibeatmaker listens to his customers and makes reasonable requests reality."
"I felt nostalgic tonight and loaded up my favorite game of all time: DOOM. Except, my Access Virus TI was plugged in as my audio interface and it had overridden the default Windows MIDI. Since my Moog was plugged into the MIDI Out of the Virus, guess what started playing as the game booted up? That's right, MOOG DOOM!"

"A 4 Voice!!!-Jam with the monophonic synthesizer Kraftzwerg
4 "Midi to CV"-Tracks were used for controlling the 3 Oscillators individually.
The 1st Midi-Track controls the Frequency of Oscillator 1 and sends the appropriate Trigger Signal to Envelope 1. Env. 1 is connected with the Filter.
The 2nd Midi-Track contains also Frequency- and Trigger-Signals. But this ones controls Osc. 2. Osc 2 is connected to the VCA who is controlled by the Envelope 2. This produces the higher Percussive Effects.
The 3rd Midi-Track sends the Frequency (Pitch) to Osc. 3. Because the Kraftzwerg has not more Envelopes or Mixers left, Osc. 3 is modulated by the Autofilter of Ableton Live with a Sample&Hold. This Midi-Track plays the lower Bassline.
The 4th Midi Track contains very short Frequency-Voltages for Osc. 3. This Notes plays the higher Melody.
Due to the fact that Osc. 3 is processed by a Reverb and a Delay and the Pitch changements are very short, you got the impression of hearing a duophonic Melody sorting out from Oscillator 3!
Also a separate Midi Track was recorded with CC-Datas from the Kaosspad. The Kaosspad is processing OSC 1 and 2 from the Kraftzwerg nearly like a random-processor.
I added also some connections from both LFO's to the Oscillator 1 and 2."

"The Moog OPUS 3 is a polyphonic analog synthesizer with a 49-note (C-C) keyboard.
The OPUS 3 features three sections - strings, organ and brass. Each offers a single VCO for sound generation. The oscillators' ranges vary from 8' - 4' (string) to 16' - 1' (organ). For the organ and brass parts there's a resonant multi-mode (low, high, band-pass) VCF, with its own envelope generators and controls for cut-off and resonance. A switch to choose between preset and manual filter modes for the brass is also featured. A simple LFO can be routed to FM or VCF modulation, and has controls for amount, delay (up to 20 seconds) plus rate. VCA controls only include volume panning for the stereo outputs.
A chorus effect is available for the string and organ sections, with adjustable depth, delay and rate. Other features include the tuning knob and pitch bend wheel. There is only a single preset sound for each section, with no user programmable patch section."
"You may remember this from such hits as Spandau Ballet - "Chant No 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure On)", ABC - "Poison Arrow" but I bought it because the classic concert video of Van Hallen - "5150". Since then it has lived in my home studio, primarily kept as an investment."
"This is the rare, scarce and legendary Voyetra Eight synthesizer. This Voyetra is a REV 4. This synth produces one of the warmest, fattest sounds ever produced by a keyboard."
