Roland HS 60 Analog Synthesizer

via this auction BIN: $375

Note this is the 3rd one to go up in the last two weeks. Interesting how relatively rare synths can come up in runs like that. I'm counting six total this year searching on Roland HS 60 here and on MATRIXSYNTH-B.

Yamaha TX7 FM MIDI Sound Module with Back-Lit LCD and ROM Upgrade SN 15383

Yamaha TX7 pure

YouTube via DrSqu

"This demo i made in 2004 with audiotracks in Logic sequencer. Every sound is a audiotrack. All sounds drums fx etc. are pure from Yamaha TX7. No add of external FX, or dynamic FX. Delays i realized with midi, also pannings. Reverb with helb from right envelope programming. There are no layers in this track. Yamaha TX7 is the module of the legendary Yamaha DX7. 6OP FM synthesizer, no filter, no FX, no samples. This demo show only a little bit of 6OP-FM. If you take time for programming TX7 ... or an SY77 ... than you will listen much more interessting sounds. In this demo i not programmet the typically FM-Piano and this all 80s stuff. Listen more at http://www.deepsonic.ch" Update via fanwander in the comments: "The sound of the video is not made by the seller, but by Mischa Blättler from www.deepsonic.ch (See http://www.deepsonic.ch/deep/htm/synth_pure.php) Btw: does anyone know more about the Features of Version 1.4 versus Version 1.2?"

via this auction

"The LCD is back-lit, unlike all the other ones you'll see today and most other days on eBay. It's also version 1.4 firmware. Not 1.2 and not the buggy 1.3 that replaced 1.2."

Note the TX7 is only editable via MIDI. More info on the display here.
