This one was spotted and sent in via gridsleep. Not sure if this is the same one, but you can find a video of one posted here, and a few pics of the first one in previous posts here. That one was owned by Dave, creator of The Packrat. It was featured in this comic.

"Housed inside an incredibly chunky wooden cabinet with inch-thick end caps, the perfectly-dubbed JX-3PG brings together a hard-to-find PG-200 controller and a standard JX-3P body. It's a perfect alternative to using two separate units connected with a cable.

Built in 2007 by Jeff Toman of Customsynth.co.uk.

Jeff has been designing & redesigning synths of incredible fashion for years. If you’re a fan of Jeff’s work you will recognize this synth immediately as it’s one of his most popular creations.

This synth also is equipped with a MIDI upgrade.

There is one note that is not making sound and I haven’t ever bothered to open it up and see what the issue is. I have a feeling it’s a very simple fix. Perhaps maybe even just a cleaning. But other than that this synth is 100% fully functional and sounds AMAZING."

via this auction

"Restored by David O’Brien this year all original parts inside. The Lyricon I (patented) introduces to electronic music the prime dimension….expression. It is the only totally expressive electronic wind instrument ever conceived or developed. The Lyricon I is totally electronic, employing the most advanced techniques in solid state design. In one superbly crafted instrument, the Lyricon I blends the nuances of expression characteristic of acoustic instruments with the vibrant dynamics of the synthesizer. -What is a Lyricon? The Lyricon is an analog electronic wind synthesizer. The Lyricon was invented by Bill Bernardi and Roger Noble of Computone Inc, in Massachussetts in the early 1970’s.. Of the Lyricon I, about 200 units were hand made."

Woody Piano Shack

"Is it better to buy a used classic flagship synthesizer or spend the same money on a new budget synth? Let's use the KORG TRITON and the KORG KROSS 2 as an example for this discussion. We'll compare the features, sounds and many other aspects of these two synth workstation keyboards."

Finegear's The Dust Collector

Finegear

New maker and new synth w/ built-in reverb & light sensors (see the side panel below).

"The Dust Collector is the first of the Arkive_Effects_ series, aiming to honor and expand upon the history of experimentation in music, shaking some of the dust that has settled on the 1970’s.

It contains 2 VC LFOs, 2 tape saturations, a spring reverb, a delay and a phaser. However, this is not your average multi-effect box, as each module has been analysed and tweaked to support your creative process.

And experiment you can: insert an effect in the delay’s feedback loop, add modulation to the phaser (as well as to pretty much every effect), poke the three springy insides hiding behind the removable cover… You can even go further inside with several moddable features directly on the PCB.

With the Dust Collector, you’ll uncover unique sounds and new uses for effects you thought you knew: gritty, springy, phased magic dust that sticks to the tape and transforms your sound into a living, kicking and breathing organism – not necessarily pretty, but alive & authentic."

Removable Spring tank cover
Remove it to scratch, hit, rub, place various objects on the springs to feed the storm (and your music)!
