ARP Odyssey MK II

Some details from the auction:
"Listen to these sample recordings I made sequencing this Odyssey through CV/Gate, playing along with a TR-909, then with a TR-707 (Doepfer sequencer, TR-909 and TR-707 are not included in this auction! J) The 3rd recording is just the ARP, no drums, no sequencer, only the Odyssey's Sample and Hold circuit.
arp01.mp3
arp02.mp3
arp03.mp3

In each recording there is no overdubbing and no synths other than the Odyssey: ONLY A SINGLE ODYSSEY IS PLAYING: I know this is hard to believe, because it sounds like several synths playing at once, but this demonstrates the AWESOME POWER of the Odyssey: it would take several other synths working together to do what a single Odyssey can do! Also, no effects have been added. In such a short amount of time I could only demonstrate a very basic idea of the Odyssey sounds. This doesn’t even scratch the surface of what the Odyssey is capable of! But it gives you some idea how it sounds."

Yamaha Tenori-On

Shot of the packaging via this auction. An interesting note, to me at least, is the auction includes monome in the title. Not in that it's deceitful in any way, but because it's a reflection of what people are searching for out there. It will be interesting to see how the monome and Tenori-On weather over time.

Macbeth modular synthesizer prototype 1-4

YouTube via scienceforce

"This is a UNIQUE modular synthesizer prototype in the world created by Ken Macbeth, his sound & features are impressive with 7 VCO + 6 suboscillators, 13 oscillators in total!!! In my experience I can say that this modular project is much more complex and powerful than the new M5n or M3X... this modular has a FAT sound, another planet!"
