4ms Spherical Wavetable Details & Pics
You can find demos of the 4ms Spherical Wavetable eurorack module in the archives here.
Priced at $599.00
"The Spherical Wavetable Navigator (SWN) is a six-channel synthesizer that makes it easy to create slowly morphing drones, polyphonic melodies, evolving sequences, and rich textures. The SWN features six wavetable oscillators with independent pitch, level, and waveform controls. Six LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators) can be used as modulation sources and/or envelopes, making it easy to add dynamic motion to your patch. Each channel is a full voice and can be “played” using the top row of buttons, the internal LFOs, or note-change detection on the 1V/oct jacks. The SWN ships with 12 three-dimensional (spherical) wavetables and an easy interface which allows you to record and edit custom wavetables from live audio. Open-source software for Mac, Windows, and Linux called SphereEdit can be freely downloaded and allows you computer to create, edit, and convert .wav files into Spherical wavetables to transfer into the SWN with an audio cable.Six VCOs (Voltage Controlled Oscillators), each with independent 1V/oct pitch CV and waveform selection.
Twelve spherical wavetables, plus space for up 108 user-created wavetables.
Quickly record, apply effects, and save your own custom wavetables from live audio (or by using free SphereEdit software on a computer).
Six LFOs/envelopes, each with its own output jack and controls for speed, amplitude, phase, and shape.

"For your consideration is a beautiful Steiner Parker Synthacon. The Synthacon has been recently serviced, and also has brand new keyboard bushings. If you're looking at this then you probably know that the Synthacon has an extremely flexible modulation architecture and amazing sound due to it's three oscillators and unique filter which does not cut out the low end on high resonance settings. You probably also know that these rarely come up for sale."

No mention what that little box is for. It almost looks like a remote or battery pack. If anyone knows what it is feel free to leave a comment.

Gibson Echoplex Digital Pro with Footpedal, Loop IV and full docs

via this auction
Note these were also branded Oberheim. You can find some videos featuring the Echoplex in the archives. There was also a black model.
"The Echoplex Digital Pro is a digital delay designed for the performing artist! The Echoplex features 16-bit digital 44.1kHz recording/sampling to RAM. With the LoopIV upgrade this unit supports 198 seconds of loop time.
The EFC-7 Foot controller allows you to punch in and out of loops without having to use your hands...so you can keep playing. The included connecting cord is 10 foot TRS.
The Echoplex is also fully MIDI capable. All controls send/receive MIDI data and even the Loops can be saved and loaded via MIDI! MIDI sync makes sure your loops can be locked to the tempo of your MIDI sequencers giving the Echoplex a niche in your MIDI-studio as a dedicated loop-player!
Loops, like samples, can be assigned to keys on a keyboard and can be triggered as loops or single-shot samples. Other functions of the Echoplex include Reverse, for backwards loops, and a Multiplay feature which repeats loops a user-defined number of times to create an extended loop (ie: extend a 4-beat loop into a 16-beat loop)."

PEARL SC-40 Percussion Synthesizer SN 170291 w/ Original Box & DT-10 Data Tape

"The Pearl SC-20/40 are unique among electronic drum modules of the 80s, using what Pearl called "DWAP" (Digital Wave Analogue Processing) synthesis -- basically digital samples with digital and analogue processing available for pretty dramatic tweaking of the sounds. A truly unique tone generator for creating truly unique percussion textures. This version (the SC-40) has 4-voice polyphony for use with a full set of drum and cymbal pads (so you can play both arms and feet simultaneously). (The SC-20 was a two voice polyphony version meant for use with a few pads as add-on to an acoustic drum kit (where no more than two voices would be needed simultaneously))"

"Fully Upgraded:
- Synth expansion
- Drum expansion
- Audio I/O expansion
- 3.00b OS
This used item was tested fully working directly before listing.
All of the buttons and knobs work great and feel good.
Five knobs were replaced with new ones. Two of those are blue,
and the color is off just a hair, perhaps just brighter from being new.
Also included are the original five knobs, which are less attractive."

"Lovely sounding proper analogue monosynth, releases as a 303 clone, albeit without the sequencer etc, I think it sounds more like an SH101, which is no bad thing!"
