Update: Looks like I put this one up already on Matrixsynth. You can find the details on the synth there.

Title link takes you to a couple of shots pulled via this auction. Not the best, but I specifically like the metallic look of this one.


Kid Nepro M1 Sound Card

No title link, just this shot via this auction.

I feel like I grew up with Kid Nepro. I remember seen the ads in the back of Keyboard Magazine years ago and wondering how much you could make creating patches for synths. I never bought a Kid Nepro patch set, but it's kind of cool to finally see what one looked like.


Roalnd Juno-106

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.

Details:
"The Juno-106 is a six-voice polyphonic and programable analogue synth with one digitally controlled oscillator per voice. While classic monophonic synths used two or three oscillators to create a fatter sound, the Juno-106 uses built-in chorus to fatten up the sound. There is an excellent 24dB/oct analog lowpass filter with plenty of resonance and self-oscillating possibilities and a non-resonant highpass. The programable pitch/mod bender can control the DCO pitch, VCF cutoff, and LFO amount all at once or individually.

It was the first MIDI-equipped Juno and its implementation is very good. There are 16 MIDI channels available and MIDI SysEx data can be transmitted/received for all the sliders and buttons for total remote control and sequencing. This synth is very straight-forward and very powerful. Use it to generate lush pads, filter sweeps, and funky bass lines and leads."


Sequential Circuits Prophet 600

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.

Details:
"The first commercially available synth to implement MIDI!! It's a fun synth. Its big brother is the legendary Prophet 5. The P600 is very affordable today and is a great buy. Models with the newest software will enjoy polyphonic MIDI implementation and up to 100 memory patches to store their own sounds! The sound of the Prophet 600 is brighter and harsher than that of a Juno 106 but still just as funky.

The P600 has two oscillators per voice with sawtooth, triangle and variable pulse waveforms. The oscillators can be individually tuned or synced together. Similar quality VCF and VCA sections from the Prophet 5 can be found here too! The P5's Poly-Mod section has also been passed onto the P600.

The P600 is extremely versatile and easy to use! Its best functions include the onboard arpeggiator, 2-track sequencer and poly-modulation. The P600 is great for creating analog effects, swells and drones. It has a cool glide effect and has very flexible modulation possibilities! It is used by Hardfloor, The Higher Intelligence Agency and Eat Static. Perfect for Ambient, Dub and other electronic music.
