"http://www.joness.com/gr300/BX13.htm The BX-13-VC is a revision of the BX-13-VX. The "C" in VC stands for control. The BX-13-VC adds support for the resonance knob on a vintage Roland guitar to be used as a control source with modern Roland guitar synths like the VG-99 or GI-20.
This is accomplished by connecting a tip-ring-sleeve cable from the BX-13-VC to a Roland device with a EV-5 input.
In addition, the BX-13-VC allows processing of the hex fuzz signal from a vintage Roland G-202/303/505 or 808 guitar synth controller."

Yamaha SY-2 SN 2984 with CV/Gate/VCF mod

"This is often called a "Preset" synth, but that is deceiving as pretty much every function (Filter, Envelope, etc) can be overridden and set however you want. It shares the same gnarly diode-based dual VCF (and a lot more, I think) with the legendary mega-expensive GX-1 solo synth section and has Highpass and Lowpass filters, both with resonance. It also has the smoothest, most expressive optical aftertouch I've ever used. This is really one of the best sounding monosynths I've ever heard, and also one of the most characteristic. I'm probably crazy for getting rid of it but am desperate for some cash to fund other projects.
Cosmetically it's in nice, very clean condition with some minor scuffs and wear. One switch shaft (Vibrato Preset/Control) is slightly bent askew but functions 100% properly. The lid is missing one clasp and some of the tolex is starting to come unglued from the lid trim.
Functionally it's perfect, everything works as it should and the CV/Gate mod allows it to be played from a midi-CV converter or analog sequencer. I'm not too into acid, but the filter architecture on this makes it a really unique acid machine when sequenced."

"Synsonics Drum Machine (Model 5450) with Box and Accessories. This Synsonics "Drums" drum machine/synthesizer is in excellent working order and very clean (seems to have been never used). This machine was marketed as a toy, but can produce some really cool sounds with the tone wheel and other features, and has the audio outputs of a upper-level drum machines (1/4 in. headphone jack, stereo jacks, ACC jack, and input for a 9 volt DC power source -- was not originally included, nor included in auction) plus on-board speakers. Comes complete with original stereo cables, users manual, and Synsonic brand drumsticks. Original box with flip open window is included, but has some wear (creases, window is slightly loose, etc). This item, especially this model, is very hard to find with everything here, would be awesome for any collector of 80's/90's toys, but also an amazing instrument for any musician making new but rarely heard vintage beats..."

"A solid & practical metal box. The spacey decals are a tough vinyl.
The base of the unit screws on with 6 screws & if powered by mains is ideally left in place. If you want to power it with a 9v battery, the base can be left off for easy access to change the battery. See the image of the internals from underneath. The base has felt pads on for a soft seating.
A brief explanation of controls etc.. The front panel pots from left to right....1. Sensitivity, adjusts the sensitivity of the trigger pad & determines how hard it needs to be struck.
2. Decay, Sets the length of the phrase/note, from a short sound to a long decaying sound.
3. Sweep, you can sweep the pitch if the vco for hands on effect.
4. Rate, The frequency of the modulation.
5. Mode, The shape of the vco.
6. Nz/Pan, Adjusts the amount of noise to be mixed with the output signal. (Linked to a switch on the rear of the
unit to select noise colour)
7. Level , The volume knob.
The rear panel from left to right.... 1. C.V in, control voltage in, 2. noize tone switch , 3. trigger input , 4. On/Off switch , 5. 1/4" jack output, 6. 9v dc power input."

Hackme Rockit Synthesizer
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

"This is a handmade Rockit synthesizer designed by Hackme Electronics and built from their circuit board. It is a monophonic digital-analogue hybrid using two 8 bit VCO's through a digitally controlled analogue filter and VCA (with 2 LFO's thrown in for good measure). All parameters are directly controllable on panel (and via midi cc). It is powered by 6 x AA batteries (rechargeables are fine). It weighs 1.8kg.
http://hackmeopen.com/rockit-build-info/
Rather than use the standard Rockit case, I have housed the synth in a wooden box with brass front panel. All controls are securely attached to the panel rather than PCB mounted. Leaded solder was used throughout.
The controls are:
Back row
Drone switch, volume, on/off, midi-in, midi-thru, audio-in (to use filter and VCA), audio-out
Left block of controls (from back to front)
VCO1 waveform, VCO2 waveform, VCO mix, VCO2 pitch
A, D, S, R for VCA
Filter cutoff, filter resonance, filter ADSR depth, low/band/high pass filter selector
A, D, S, R for filter
Right block of controls
LFO routing matrix
LFO waveform, LFO rate, LFO amount, LFO sync
And at bottom are the patch save/recall controls..."
