"crumar synthesizer - Digital Keyboards, Inc - 1980’s
Serial number: 01049
I got this from my neighbors estate sale, her husband played in the day. I think she said he bought it new.
I found a website for this exact model, given I cannot even lip sync I have no clue about instruments. I did count the number of keys and there are 74 of them.
I did plug it in and it makes a little noise, but I have no speakers to plug into it. Also, I understand there is a cartridge that plugs in to it, I have no idea if one is required for it to play.
I do have to sell as is, if you live in the greater Phoenix area, you are welcomed to come and look at it."
I had to do a double take when I first saw this one. Clearly not a Shadow XT. Turns out it's an orange XT painted black. You can see the orange underneath in the bottom pic. Cool, thing though is the black is an overlay so you can pick orange vs. black. BTW, see my cure for the Waldorf Nextel sticky coating here. Curious if that's why this one has a cover...

REON Leon / driftbox C
Multifunction mixer that can control CV equipment with 4ch audio / CV input and 2 bus output CV-VCA output
4ch audio / CV input, 2 bus output. Multifunction mixer that can control external CV equipment with CV-VCA output
The driftbox C has 4 channels of audio / CV input, and the audio signal can be adjusted and output to any level on 2 BUS.
The CV input can be switched to VCA to generate a voltage, so the CV input can be added to control CV-compatible devices such as an external synthesizer VCO / VCF. With four channels of CV input and addition, it will be possible to produce changes beyond imagination. Simultaneous output of each signal is also possible by inputting CV signal to 1 / 3ch and audio signal to 2 / 4ch.

"The Mothership has landed.
As a sequel to her mind-expanding semi-modular performance in 'The Mothership' earlier this year, sonic sorceress Lisa Bella Donna brings even more analog power, magic, and prowess to this new composition using the complete Moog semi-modular family.
Witness her first encounter with the Dark Series Matriarch and Grandmother synthesizers alongside their keyless counterparts: Mother-32, DFAM, and Subharmonicon.
Update: new tutorial videos featuring the "Dark Series" (just the Matriarch are up so far):

"Introducing Dark Series for Matriarch & Grandmother
Dark Series for Matriarch and Grandmother strikes the perfect balance between classic and modern, featuring an all-black aesthetic that invokes the timeless look of early Moog modular systems—with all the functionality and versatility these two state-of-the-art sound design machines are known for.
Today, we are excited to announce a new addition to our semi-modular family: Dark Series for Grandmother and Matriarch. The new visual twist for these two synthesizers is a nod to the modular control panel designs that inspired their very creation.
Grandmother and Matriarch's circuits, spirit, and analog effects are inspired by the classic Moog modular synthesizers designed by Bob Moog during the '60s and '70s. These instruments quickly became a staple in studio setups and live performance settings, a go-to first synthesizer for beginners, and a multifaceted creative tool used by musicians of all skill levels to explore the power of analog sound.
A complement to the distinct multi-colored artwork of the original Matriarch and Grandmother synthesizers, Dark Series presents a style option that celebrates the intersection of tradition and innovation.
New Patches & Firmware Updates
Significant firmware updates for Matriarch and Grandmother are now available for all owners. These updates feature a new sync engine that keeps the internal arp/sequencer, analog clock, and MIDI all tightly locked in phase; a new easy method to reset global settings to defaults; a new Envelope Multi-Trig mode for Grandmother; and many other enhancements, features, and bug fixes for both instruments based on customer feedback.
Alongside these firmware enhancements, new exploratory patches are now available to download for Matriarch and Grandmother registered owners. These 30 inspiring patches (16 for Grandmother and 14 for Matriarch) are designed to guide your eternal experimentation and open your mind to each instrument’s unparalleled analog sound."
"Here’s ‘Steps’ from After Later Audio. A 6HP Eurorack module that offers multiple functions including … clock generator, random rhythm generating, rhythm looper, stepped random generator, 8 step sequences, bursts, end of outputs, unique audio rate waves and more!
At it’s core Steps generates an 8 step burst, held gate during it’s bursting activity and end of burst output. The 8 step pulses feed a shift register for either 8 step random bipolar signals of an 8 step looped sequences. Gate rhythms with varying gate lengths and rhythms are generated from the shift register and the whole module works via button or external trigger or in a looping state.
Steps covers a range of essential functions for any modular system as the potential use cases are massive. This video aims to highlight plenty of them as well as showing how the module functions technically and musically."

Following the design updates, Elektron announces OS updates to the Analog Four & Analog Rytm.
"Grab your Analogs, new and old! It’s upgrade time! To partner the new-look Analog Four and Analog Rytm, we have a superpowered OS Upgrade packed full of extra features available for everyone as of this very minute.
The MKIIs are bringing Class Compliant USB Audio with advanced voice routing capabilities onboard, while both MKI and MKII versions of the machines (and Analog Keys) get boosted with Step Recording, Trig Probability, Trig Review, a bevy of bug-vanquishing performance improvements, and much more.
"Grab your Analogs, new and old! It’s upgrade time! To partner the new-look Analog Four and Analog Rytm, we have a superpowered OS Upgrade for each machine. These upgrades extend all the way back to the MKI versions of both instruments (and Analog Keys) unless noted, meaning there are plenty of music-making bonuses for everyone!
Class Compliant USB Audio (MKII only)
Class Compliant USB Audio is now available on the Analog Four MKII and Analog Rytm MKII. Connect to a compatible phone, tablet, or computer, and record or process your audio easier than ever before. Add software superpowers via apps to give you countless possibilities: Parameter automation, bi-directional audio processing, audio recording, MIDI sequencing & sync, and that’s just the start. More modulation, more LFOs, more magic.
Step Recording mode
Step Recording comes to the Analogs! Fresh from its splashdown on the Digis, the machines can now input notes into the sequencer step by step. For Analog Rytm users, you can even input multiple tracks simultaneously. On Analog Four, things stay tasty allowing you to input chords per step. Flex the feature’s power to the max by controlling other gear using Midi, CV, and Gate!
Trig Probability
The Analog Four and Analog Rytm now have the power of Trig Probability in their arsenal. With great power comes controlled unpredictability. Take a pattern, take a chance, and see where you go!
