Inside a Sequential Circuits DrumTraks

via this auction

"Lovley 12 bit sampled drum machine, compliments other SCI synths with lovley wood cheeks.... The Sequential Circuits Drumtraks was the first drum machine that supported MIDI. (The Drumtraks can also send DIN sync and clock.) And while the drum pads were not velocity-sensitive, you can control it via a MIDI keyboard and trigger it with different velocities, the 13 8-bit sounds can be pitch-shifted dramatically, adding some flexibility."

Geoff Downes of Asia's Sequential Circuits Prophet Remote?

via this auction
"Sequential Circuits Prophet Remote Keyboard in very good condition, One small scratch as seen in pic (below the letter "e" in prophet) some of the key bushings could stand replace as do most prophet 5 j wire keybeds over time. Missing the cable , one can be made from the service manual obtainable from www.winecountrysequential.com . A rare piece of music history used by Geoff Downes of Asia, do a google image search and you will see a photo of him using it. This only works with the Prophet 5 with digital / analog ports. I believe 3.2 or 3.3"

Sequential Circuits Prophet 10

via this auction
via the description:
"Sequential Circuits Prophet 10, Rev 3 with the Curtis Electronics IC chips. Analog 10 voice polyphonic synthesizer serial # 91 manufactured 1981 in very nice cosmetic but not mint condition, it has the expected very minor scuffs/scrapes here and there for a 30 year old musical instrument ,but no dents/dings or other damages anywhere. The Prophet 10 has the early basic MIDI circa 1984 in/out only retrofitted by SC, according to updated addendums to the original SC manual updated through 1982,83-84. This classic analog synth also comes with 5 original SC foot pedals and a custom Ultimate A-frame type adjustable height stand to hold the synth, and original SC owners manual dated Sept. 1981, and a very nice custom made Anvil flight case with heavy duty casters which protects the synth and the pedals. Included also are several replacement rare HTF Curtis chips for extra backups, that came with this synth when I bought it from the original owner who owned this synth since 1982. No dead keys or voices, and there are no broken or missing knobs, buttons or controls anywhere The synth functions 100% except for the onboard poly- sequencer and obsolete micro-cassette tape drive, which may work fine but, I have not used them at all so I, cannot really verify that this section of the synth is 100%..."

Jimmy Swaggart's Sequential Circuits Prophet-10?

via this auction

"This came from Jimmy Swaggart Ministries in LA and has been fully tested. I was told he played it at the church over 20 years ago. It has been in the road case ever since and when we pulled it out to test it (it worked perfect). When I did research online it looks like this is a very valueable piece to own."

Kawai Teisco SX 400 Analog Synthesizer


via this auction

"This is a quite rare analogsynthesizer from the early 80ies.
It seems that Kawai used the Jupiter 4 from Roland as an inspiring example.
The synth is fully functional and has normal wear for it's age.
One of the poti-caps is not original anymore."
