Vintage Roland SH-09 Analog Synthesizer With Filter CV Input Mod
via this auction
"About the Mod
You may notice that this SH-09 has a toggle switch on the left panel and a 1/4" jack behind it on the back panel. The toggle switch lets you choose between the bender and the additional 1/4" CV input to control the VCO & VCF. The amount of modulation is adjusted using the two sliders above the bender. I mainly used this to control the filter cutoff with velocity using the Kenton Pro Solo II (Not Included) This mod really brings a lot of life to the SH-09."

Sequential Circuits Model 700 Programmer SN 0051

Some nice close-ups of the jacks on back below.
"This listing is for one late-70s vintage Sequential Circuits Model 700 Programmer in worn but good cosmetic condition and excellent functional condition. It recently underwent full electronic restoration by genius tech Dave Brown and is working perfectly. He posted full details of the restoration on his modularsynthesis website. Unit has attached power cable and is a 120V model.
This is a Mk 1 unit and is likely a bit of history, I think Dave Smith was making these by hand. There is no microprocessor, all switching, sequencing and memory is analog.
You might ask "what do I need a programmer for now that I have midi/Expert Sleepers/eurorack/etc?" While that was its original intended use think of it this way:
--You have 2 DADSR envelopes with attenuation and 3 manual voltages
--You can save these settings in 8 banks of 8 settings
--You can then step through each back in 1-8 steps with an analog trigger or gate, essentially making an 8x3 sequencer with different envelope settings per step!
--Also, there is a transpose input so you can run a keyboard 1v/oct cv in and transpose your voltages (individually selectable for each of the 3 voltages)"

This one needs repair. Hopefully someone will pick it up and give it new life.
"Prophet 5 rev 3.x NOT WORKING. When powered up nearly all leds light up. no sound. no response to any controls. Several knobs broken off and missing."

Wersi Ap-6 Bass synthesizer / 1977 /
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Features multiple waveform generators and waveform sound contours with ADSR functions. Includes Wah and Transpose slide bars, adjustable pitch control and simulated rotor control.
This synth sounds absolutely fantastic with the richest, deepest bass tones, and if you've ever considered adding a bass synth to your setup, this is the one! All keys, buttons, switches, and sliders work fine.
It is a monophonic analog synth with funky controls, decent sounds and a unique character."

Black & Gold ARP Odyssey MKI

"This is the black version of the MKI model, with the original and fantastic sounding 12db filter. I personally think this filter version is THE ARP sound!
Keyboard is working and sounding great. Everything functions 100%, tuning is stable, it warms up quickly, and works exactly as expected. The keys were rebushed recently and respond well. Also has CV/Gate installed for use with other synths and sequencers. It has been well cared for in a studio setting. The only thing worth mentioning is that the VCO #1 pitch slider can cause a tiny bit of pitch warble when being moved, but this has absolutely no effect when being played."

Elastic Drums - Short LoopSampler demo
Published on Aug 4, 2016 Oliver Greschke
"Here is a short demo of the possibilities the sampler will have, that will be available with an update hopefully in the next month. The sampler will have the standard pitch, reverse options but also a wicket looper function capable of doing sounds similar to a grain sampler.
As you can see there are only 2 channels used. You can switch samples between different patterns and you have lots of parameters again to manipulate the sample / loop"
