"The Korg DW8000 is the bigger brother to the DW6000.... It was released a year or so before the M1. Have analog synthesis sections... with very nice filters... this DW8000 model doubles the waveforms of the DW6000 to give you 16, doubled at 2 per voice to give 8 note poly of 2 osc' voices........ but..... Like the 106, you can do a Unison mode to stack the 16 oscillators !... The 8000 also has excellent Korg analog filters... they go to self-resonance for squeel-appeal. The 8000 even has an onboard arpeggiator which can clock to midi, and is velocity & aftertouch sensitive.... Other features include Midi In, Out and Thru; cassette interface; stereo outs; foot switch control for patch changing, portamento and sustain; 64 memories; aftertouch keyboard; arpeggiator and ... yup !!....a built-in digital delay unit."

via this auction
"vintage 80's era SUZUKI UNISYNTH XG-1 GUITAR SYNTHESIZER, these are somewhat hard to find, uses (6) C batteries or power pack, the strings are actually some kind of rubbery plastic rails that you fret like a normal guitar, they do not bend though, the guitar has a tremolo bar that sounds pretty wacky, this instrument has 2 different guitar sounds, 2 vibes sounds, a synth sound and brass, has chord, attack, rhythm and demo functions, also has some percussion and auto bass functions"

Marion Systems ProSynth

"Marion ProSynth Analog/Digital Synthesizer
Built in 1996 By Tom Oberheim
Owners Statement:
I had read in keyboard magazine that Tom Oberheim was designing a new synth module. I was a fan after listening to his earlier Oberheim synths. I later saw an advertisement in keyboard magazine that the synth was completed and shipping. I called the listed phone number to order the Marion prosynth and got a answering machine. Later that day I got a return phone call and to my surprise it was Tom Oberheim. He said he would put one together for me. I asked him to sign it for me and he did. It has been in my studio ever since."

Oberheim OB-12 Review on Celiar Structures

"Although a vast majority of users said this synthesizer is a poor imitation of the classics created by Oberheim Electronics in the 70's and 80's, many others, including me , have praised the quality of this blue beast.

One of the reasons claimed by those who dislike it is that "it is not a true Oberheim". That's mostly true because it seems that no one of those who worked At Oberheim Electronics was involved in the creation of this synth, but that doesn't means it's a bad synth at all."
