I've only seen the Minod Vorga once before, posted back in 2006 here.

"IMPOSSIBLY HARD TO GET SYNTH NOW AT YOUR REACH

The Minod Vorga is a brilliant and perhaps the most unique small format synth to ever roam the planet. It is highly exclusive as designer of the synth had hundreds of customers on the waiting list but decided only to build 15 of these remarkable synths. These are practically impossible to find. This is your first and last chance to own one, ever.

The sound is quite remarkable and one of a kind. Somewhere between MS-20, OSCar, Wasp and SH-1 but to be honest much more contemporary and interesting!

I am the original owner of the listed item and unit pictured is the actual item on sale. This particular unit is in MINT condition, never gigged and has only spent time in a smoke free studio. The surface contains absolutely no scratches, dents or unwanted marks of any kind. The panel graphics and lettering is in immaculate condition.

Specifications:

Minod is a Sweden based company and manufacturer of Vorga, a very special analogue synth with :

DCO with analog waveshaper,
VCF Band Pass 12dB or Low Pass 24dB,
LFO
ADSR,
Sequencer, Accent, Glide,
Assignable X-Y joystick for parameters of your choice
Midi in and out

The funky filter inside MINOD® VORGAis the backbone of its highly original sound. It has two modes set by a switch: 24dB Low pass (4-pole) or 12dB Band pass (2x2-pole) with variable width, where both ends are 2-pole or 12dB/oct. The cutoff frequency and bandwidth can be varied independently. What makes the filter unique is the two resonance peaks, one on each side of the band pass filter. This creates timbres not available on traditional analog synths. The drive control adds to the unique flavor.

The filter has six parameters: cutoff, offset, resonance, drive, velocity, and envelope. The first controls the center frequency of the filter. The second controls the bandwidth. resonance sets the resonant response on both peaks. The drive controls the power driven into the filter and can give distortion effects. Velocity controls the MIDI velocity influence on the cutoff. Finally, envelope controls the amount of envelope influence on the cutoff frequencies.

The built in sequencer works like an analog sequencer.
The sequence can be transposed by an external MIDI keyboard, the internal keys or using the joystick.

The VORGA can store sixteen sound patches and sixteen sequence patterns to be recalled immediately. It also supports SYSEX messages to upload or download patches and sequences. The VORGA has nine knobs and four switches.All controls sends MIDI messages, the MINOD® VORGA can conveniently be used as a MIDI controller as well.

The firmware can also be upgraded via MIDI to add more features and unlikely bug fixes .

Hand made in Sweden. Housed in a beautiful hardwood box specially manufactured by master carpenter.

Dimensions are 26x14x8 cm (w/d/h)."

Update: reader Filippo wrote it to let me know the knobs on the Vorga are the same as the Synton Fenix II.  I missed that and thought it was interesting.  You can see some pics of the Fenix II here.

Anyone have any info on Disco Tech?  Kind of cool seeing vintage service stickers and their logos.  A bit of synth history behind the techs that maintained synths back in the day.

"This is an extremely rare vintage Electronic Music Labs EML 101 Electrocomp Synthesizer. Cosmetically it has a couple small scratches, dings, and Smudges, but overall very good shape for something from the 60's! I played it for over an hour, and everything seems to be working correctly. It has a few sticky, scratchy keys & controls as to be expected, but it appears that all keys/controls work. Fantastic sound & sonic possibilities."
