Roland AMDEK COMPU MUSIC CMU-800
via this auction
"Branded as 'Amdek' but is actual fact exactly the same as the Roland branded cmu-800
'Although Roland were based in Hamamatsu by the early '80s, Kakehashi established the AMDEK Corporation in Osaka. Their main product lines were small effects units and computer monitors manufactured for Roland (but not by Roland) in Taiwan. For a couple of years, the company proved to be surprisingly successful but, as competition mounted, Kakehashi decided not to compete with the large computer companies entering the market, and in 1983 he ceased supplying monitors, simultaneously discontinuing the effects units. But this was not the end for the company. Kakehashi renamed it the 'Roland DG Corporation', and then used it as a vehicle to release a range of the company's own computer and music peripherals.'"

Orgon Systems Energiser Synth Modules
via this auction
"If you are looking at this then you already know about Geoff Waterston and Orgon Systems. Orgon Systems Energiser Synth Modules. These modules are standard Orgon Energiser modules, they were made for me by Geoff (when we used to work together) to make a filter module like a QTron.
They include an:
Envelope Follower
Multimode Filter
LFO
Power Supply Module.
They come in a box made by Orgon Systems but it is a bit tatty, However the modules are immaculate and in full working order.
They sounds produced by the filter are unbelievable, I've never heard a filter sweep so low and high, phenomenal frequency response.
I used these with old analogue synths and it really improves the thinnest sounding mono or polysynth. (you can polish a turd ;) )"
