via Torino Synth Meeting:

"Today a very important news for the Torino Synth Meeting and for its sixth edition.

We have the official dates, the 2016 meeting will be held the last weekend of May, Saturday 28 and Sunday 29.

Thanks to the results obtained with the fifth edition, this year the meeting will last two days!

Studio equipment
DJ equipment
Software and controllers
P. A. and backline
Lighting and stage
But also music-related companies and institutions such as:

Recording studios
Schools and academies
Last news (for now) is the location change.
For two days of music and music instruments, we selected BUNKER, historical independent cultural center run by 'Associazione Culturale Variante Bunker'

Bunker is a cultural independent space and place-active laboratory for testing a new precursor model of urban development, close to a major urban transformation of the city of Turin, which is "Variante 200”, by promoting in the same place creative ideas and public utilities functions. Born from the collaboration with the company owner Torino Quittengo, Bunker now is gered by the “Variante Bunker” Cultural Association together with “Variante Bunker Sport”. In their industrial spaces converted, both associations promote a mix of artistic and installative interventions linked to the scene of the international street art, urban gardening, sports, clubbing, experimentation and musical research.

Soon more news!"

"This is about as clean as they come. It's in beautiful, fully functional condition. A few signs of it's age, but no ugly scratches or dents anywhere. The photos show a bit of checking on the case latches, a few small smudges on the case exterior, and a small smudge of some sort near the speaker. Of the approx. 200 made, this is #154.

It's been gone over completely by Portland Custom Shop here in Portland, Oregon, and has a clean bill of health, and is ready for your sound design. It has a lot of patch cables, and a cable I had made to run from an Elektron Analog 4 CV/Gate output directly to the keyboard input."

Single Keyboard Sequential Circuits Prophet 10

via this auction
Update: video posted here.

"Up for sale is my unique sequential circuits prophet 10 synthesizer. First the bad - the previous owner professionally chopped off the second keyboard from the unit along with the old sequencer. Consider this unit two prophet 5s with the ability to stack voices and create some of the best sounding synth tracks you've ever heard.

The good - this unit was fully serviced a year ago by Three Wave Music in NJ and everything is fully working and it tunes up great. The only thing off is that the contact of the second highest B flat is not working after having not used it much over the past 6 months but this should be an extremely easy fix. I haven't been able to figure out the midi on this unit but that might just be not knowing how to get the channels set up right. Besides that she is beautiful."
