"This is a short video of the modular from 2003. There is a Tama Techstar drum brain in the top right, but I don't recall if it was wired in. Sounds like it could have been. Wiard, Blacet and DIY EFM."

Sequential Circuits Split 8

Title link takes you to shtos via this auction.

"he Sequential Split 8 is Japanese produced analog synth marketed by Sequential Circuits. It is very similar in voice architecture and sound to the MultiTrak and SixTrak. All of these synths as well as the Akai AX 60 use one Curtis SENTE (CEM 3394) chip per voice. The Split 8 has eight voices where as the others mentioned above only have 6. The Split 8 seems to be designed for more use as a traditional analog poly synth like the Prophet 5 than as an analog workstation like the SixtTrak and MultiTrak. The Split 8 is capable of doing splits and layers and this is really its strength. As it has 8 voices, you can double up the oscilators and still have 4 note polyphony! By creating a split you can basically have a 4 voice synth with two oscilators per voice that can be detune really thickening up your pads. In split mode the Split 8 is also capable of Poly Mod like the Prophet 5 which uses once voice in the stack to modulate the other. Neither the SixTrak or MultiTrak have this ability. The Split 8 can also stack up all 8 voices to have one massive monosynth; great for supper thick leads and weighty basses!"

EMS DK1 Cricklewood Keyboard

Title link takes you to shots via this auction.

"The Cricklewood is a Velocity sensitive "Dynamic" monophonic Keyboard for use with the Synthi VCS3. Cricklewood has 1 VCO and 1 VCA, and the VCO can be used as a mod source or a second voice making the synth Duophonic. This example is really in amazing shape for almost being 40 years old! as you can see in the pictures, there are some very minor wood scuffs. Playing wise this keyboard practically feels new! absolutely no clickity clack that can be felt on keyboards of this type that have worn brushings. includes 8 way cinch-jones cable for connection to Synthi."
