Dave Smith Instruments Poly Evolver Keyboard: Brass Patch
Published on Jun 14, 2015 Sacred Synthesis
"The Poly Evolver Keyboard excels at producing immense brass patches. I'd say it's one of its strongest sounds. This lumbering improvisation uses one such example, and I intend others of this type to follow.
The dynamic changes are created with the modulation wheel, which opens the filter.
Instrumentation:
DSI Poly Evolver Keyboard
DSI Poly Evolver Rack
Reverb from Lexicon MX300
Performed live and record directly to CD."
Octave Voyetra 8 Analog Polyphonic Synth Module with VPK-5 Keyboard SN FJ4813

via this auction
"Very rare Octave Plateau Voyetra 8 analog synthesizer, with the accompanying VPK-5 keyboard, with Version 4 boards. If you've been looking to add one to your studio, this is the one you want.
One of, if not the best polyphonic analog synthesizer out there. The V8 combines two CEM3340 oscillators (each with a sub-oscillator) and a SSM 2044 filter per voice with a huge amount of modulation abilities. The end result is a wonderful sounding synth that can easily go from subtle to HUGE. This particular unit is a green card rev. 4 machine, which is the final and most stable version of the Voyetra. It can accept MIDI sysex and can be controlled by external software and programmers.
Included is a VPK-5 controller keyboard. You can either use this controller or midi to control the Voyetra (but not at the same time).
Also included is the necessary XLR to MIDI cable, the operation manual, and other documentation. You are literally getting the "complete" package for the Voyetra.
Because this is a vintage piece of electronic equipment (and a sensitive one at that), there are some things to mention.
• The machine is currently fully calibrated, but trimmers inside the unit (for the voice card volumes and filters) may shift during shipping. If this happens, it's straight forward to re-calibrate them as long as you are able to turn a knob and use a tuner.

Rick Wakeman Oberheim OB-MX 8-Voice Rack Synthesizer

"This is an Oberheim OB-MX rack-mount synthesizer that was used by Rick Wakeman (as a 6-voice unit) during the recording of the Keys to Ascension album in 1995-1996. I obtained it from Rick's producer, who let Rick use it during the recording of the album.
An additional voice card was later added to make it a 8-voice unit. It can be expanded with 2 more voice cards to a full 12-voice system.
Excellent condition, includes operation manual. New battery, OS 1.04 (a later OS is available for free on-line, OS 2.00).
The Oberheim OBMx is a modern synthesizer module with an audio path that is entirely analog. It has an intuitive and powerful interface which makes it easy for anyone
to program their own unique sounds. The OBMx claims to deliver the classic Oberheim and Minimoog sounds while being completely programmable and midi compatible.
One historical point is that the OB-Mx is, at present, the last synthesizer designed by Don Buchla. The 'Oberheim filter' provides 12 dB/oct low, band or hi pass filtering, with resonance. And the 'Minimoog filter' uses a 24 dB/oct low-pass filter."

Vintage Pinball Synth Ad
This one in via electraumatisme, found on tumblr
The ad features a custom white Minimoog, Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 and a Roland Jupiter-6. The ad appears to be for a pinball machine sound and graphics pack. It reads:
"Rock Encore - Premier is Changing Their Tune! Keep A Good Thing Going with Rock Encore!
The Premier Booster-Pack Is A Fifteen Minute Art & Sound Conversion Kit For Any Rock Pinball Game.
These New Sound Chips & Photographic Backglass Produce Prolonged Earnings At A Minimal Investment."
Below is a second, unrelated image also found by electraumatisme. Jupiter-6 and Polysix in that one. It looks familiar but I can't place it. If anyone has seen it before and/or has more info let us know!

Moog Satellite synthesizer

"The Satellite is a lot like the rare Farfisa Syntorchestra: It's a synthesizer that was originally designed to imitate popular band and orchestral instruments; it also makes cool and original synth tones. All sounds on the Satellite can be modified on the fly. The included registration guide (super-rare!) shows you how to accomplish all the sounds this synth was designed to make.
This Moog Satellite is in 100% tip-top working order. My tech went through it from top to bottom, giving it a thorough once-over. He cleaned and otherwise serviced all the keys and contacts. The Satellite was already working fine; now it's in as-new condition."
