Custom 25 Key Minimoog Style Enclosure for Clavia Nord Lead Rack & Others
via this auction
"It is custom for the Nord lead but the rack is a standard 19" but its not a full 4 spaces since its a custom fit. A full 4space frame can easily be made. This is all hand made. The electronics inside are an Alesis Q25 midi controller. I am including the power supply. The Nord is not included."

Korg M3R synthesizer + Korg RE1 rare programmer vs Darth Digital
Published on Dec 11, 2014 NoiselabCH
"KORG M3R, a somewhat stripped down M1 in a rack (not M1R). Means there are 3mb instead of 4mb sample rom, and other presets for instance. However, it sounds very similar to the M1 and it's advantage is the rare Korg RE1 programmer/controller, it's similar to the Roland PG-10 with the Roland D-10/110.
Recorded directly into DAW without any effects, dynamics, all effects heard come from the M3R itself. Played live, no sequencing, with Yamaha AN1x as controller.
The Korg M3R without the RE1 or external software editor is a real pain to program. But it's has some kind of gritty, lo-fi, digital noise sounds which are worth to explore, beside being a good M1 alternative.
No deep programming here just a short example of arranging and tweaking presets, custom sounds and combis. Unfortunatly Darth Digital isn't the better player as Dart NoiseLab ;-) As usual more looking for spacey, sci-fi like, spooky sounds than for bread and butter.
Factory M3R demo play here and some specs: [click through video above for active YouTube links for the following]

Oh, it seems that the RE1 programmer can be used with following devices:
KORG A1
KORG M3r
KORG 03r/w
KORG wavedrum (original first generation)"

Fairlight Vintage CMI (Series 1) Synthesizer Sampler System

via this auction
Update via Monkey in the comments: That's a IIx not a I. Most series I's were upgraded to later specs so those are incredibly rare. I doubt there are more than a few working ones in existance. I've played all versions I, II, III and 30a. The 30a didn't blow me away but the I, II, and III all sound different but equally amazing. I'd love to own any of them!
Auction description: "This classic museum piece is the first model of the very first digital sampler yet built so advanced that it's still prized today.
Create the unique sounds produced by many famous musicians with this retro instrument. Here are some descriptions and reviews:
'The Fairlight CMI is a keyboard ... which was one of the most prominent synths of the early- and mid-'80s and set the agenda for the way 'ordinary' synths would later develop. Sampling, graphic sequencers, multi-timbrality, software-based synthesis and the concept of the 'workstation' can all be traced back to this instrument.
Coming from Australia, a country not known for producing synthesizers, this was the keyboard that broke all the established rules, even down to its color!
Consisting of several large (cream-colored) parts plus loads of cables.. It has been used by The Cars, Paul McCartney Stevie Wonder, David Gilmour, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Fleetwood Mac,Jean-Michel Jarre, Heaven 17, Hardfloor, ABC, Hall & Oates, the Buggles, Supertramp, Thomas Dolby, Jon Astley, Michael Jackson, Yes, Trevor Horn (Art of Noise), Geoff Downes, Vince Clarke (Yazoo), Peter Gabriel, , Devo, Julian Lennon,, Elvis Costello, Scritti Politti, Starship, Teddy Riley, Brian Wilson, Foreigner, Madonna, Debbie Gibson, Jane Child, Eurythmics, Mike Oldfield, Prince, OMD, Steve Winwood, John Paul Jones, Queen, Keith Emerson, Alan Parsons,, B-52's, Pet Shop Boys, Soul II Soul, and Stewart Copeland. The Fairlight is a standalone Music Production Center and is rivaled only by the NED Synclavier. The Fairlight is a historical, prized piece of Vintage Digital Synthesizer and Sampler technology. It still holds up today, over twenty years later and is still a high quality and professional instrument. Uniquely useful to hardcore synth programmers, musicians, sound designers, film composers and Vintage Synth collectors.'
'An incredible sampler with 28 megabytes or more of memory! Full 73 note velocity sensitive keyboards. Complete synthesis and editing of digitally sampled sounds. Three different on-board SMPTE Sequencers and storage to various disk mediums. The processor itself is housed in a 24" module. It was also the first digital sampler to hit the market back in 1979 and has endured throughout the eighties and nineties. The sampler is the heart of the Fairlight. It's a 16-bit resolution digital sampler with variable sample-rates up to 100kHz! Original Fairlight models used two standard 8 bit 6800 processors with 32khz sampling resolution. As for sequencing, there are three sophisticated methods. There's CAPS (Composer, Arranger, Performer Sequencer), an 80-track polyphonic sequencer. The complicated MCL (Music Composition Language) is like a text-based step time sequencer. And finally the Rhythm Sequencer which functions like a classic drum-machine style sequencer.'"

"This already great sounding twin VCO analogue synthesizer benefits from having the incredible GliGli/Teesy CPU and firmware upgrade installed. This has turned the Prophet 600 into a truly amazing polysynth...it easily competes with the Prophet 5 and in my view actually sounds nicer...I've always prefered them sonically even before the upgrade..but now this synth is on a whole new level! Super fast enevelopes, super high pot resolution(no stepping), fully MIDI control..plus a whole host of new sonic possiblities!
Prophet 600 Manual, GliGli Upgrade manual and power lead all included. Comes loaded up with all the original factory presets as described in the manual!
It has also been serviced and calibrated for sale and is ready to go. No scratchy pots or leaking caps or anything else and All features work fully and have been thoroughly checked, including all foot-switch operations."

Feedback and Adrenalin

"Thanks a lot to Don and Roger for their wonderful instruments.
IMHO the AdrenaLinn seems to be the perfect partner for the Music Easel. And I didn't even use the drums!
