"FROM THE INTERNET:
In the 1980s two other popular brands were the Echo II (slot-based) and Cricket (for the modem port on the IIc) synthesizers, made by Street Electronics. These latter also included the ability to produce a robotic voice, a female voice, sound effects, and stereo music. Some games released at the time had enhanced sound output when one of these two devices were detected. For speech reproduction, they used a method of accepting ASCII text from the computer in the form of “phonemes” to describe and produce voice through a built-in speaker. They used this approach because English words have a variety of pronunciation depending on their context. Properly programmed, the voice synthesizers could pronounce the word “root” to rhyme with either “boot” or “foot”. It wasn't until the IIGS came out with the built-in capability of speech reproduction (via the Ensoniq chip) that software making use of that feature became available in any quantity."

"Here is a very nice looking Poly-Sequencer model 1005. It is the sequencer that I understand goes with the Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 synthesizer. Also included is an original Sequential Circuits Pedal which doesn't look as nice as the sequencer due to missing paint and rust. Serial number for the sequencer is 1005-0038..."

"This mini synth expander has the same controls as the synth part of Rolands famous MC-202, which is virtually identical to the SH-101, less waveform selection of the mod source. There is a nice audio mixer thrown in to add up to two external instruments, sadly, after the filter. The VCA is switchable between linear and exponential mode, and has a CV in for controlling it from an outside source (ie, I've mapped velocity from my MIDI keyboard, thru a MIDI-CV box to control the CMU's volume). This is a surprisingly strong sounding box."  Note there is no MIDI in.  You need CV to control it.

Overview

Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers Synthesizer Block Overview
Wired for instant access to classic tones without needing a single patch cable, the Synthesizer Block is a complete semi-modular monophonic synthesizer. The Synthesizer Block is 100% analog and 100% eurorack compatible with a complete set of patch points able to override the internal audio and CV signal path.

The Synthesizer Block was designed to be the core of any modular system. Each major component is fully patchable and can function independent to the rest of the module. This allows the functionality of the Oscillator, Filter, LFO, Envelope Generator and VCA to be broken apart and used like standalone modules."
