I know of 3 versions of the 360 Systems MidiBass. The logo was different on one of the units and the Knob color was the only difference on the other two."
Moog Satellite
images at this auction"A version of the Minitmoog for budding synthesists from the early seventies. The Satellite is shaped after the organ-type synthesizers from its era. Although cased in a nice looking wood case the Satellite boasts little features. It's a single-vco monophonic preset synthesizer. Preset sounds include brass, reeds, strings, bell, and the far-out new lunar sound. The 37-note keyboard is slim and presets are selected from the clunky flip-switches just below the keyboard. Left hand performance controls offer modulation, pitch bend and filter sweeps."

inverse room photosynth Noise generator
via this auction"Another little oddity from the noise experimentation cupboard.
Up for auction here is a rather rare and unique noise generator called an Inverse room Photosynth.Its basically an oscilaltor / lfo / Light sensitive theramin plus some cross mod buttons and some other weird and rather undocumentable features.I havent got a clue what does what really aside form the lfo and pitch adjust but it makes might strange noises , signals , radiophonic fx , transmitter noises and blips , blurps .A great sample source !
Checkout the jam below ( 7mb) (All sounds are from the photosynth for auction here + some reverb added and a parrot or 2 but al synthetic sounds are this little box ) Definately a wig out machine this one and great fun.Battery operated and working like it should.link"
YAMAHA AN200
images at this auction"The AN-200 is a compact table-top physically modelled analog synthesizer and sequencer. The AN-200 has sounds like the AN1x keyboard. The sounds are pretty phat, from punchy analog bass to squelchy distorted 303-lines. It models two analog VCO oscillators with sawtooth, variable pulse, mix, multi-saw, OSC Sync, FM, resonant multimode filters and 5 voices of polyphony. To accompany this beastly little synth engine is a 32-voice AWM2 section with about 120 drum and rhythm sounds for creating complete dance grooves, patterns and songs!
The AN-200 features a 16 step pattern sequencer with one track for FM sounds and three tracks for AWM2 rhythm sounds. It's simple to use and is suited for hands-on and easy pattern making. Create your patterns in step-mode, in real-time, or record it using an external MIDI keyboard. The sequencer is Analog-Style, each step of a pattern can be tweaked by the turn of a knob, affecting the pitch, gate time or velocity of any synth or drum note. Parts can be dropped out and brought back in on the fly, along with any tweaks and pattern changes for interactive live performances! The "Swing" function can funk up the groove of your patterns for better or worse. There's also Tap Tempo for DJs to match up to their beats! Editing sounds is also fairly easy and hands-on. There are 15 quick access knobs for various common tweakable parameters like the LFO, amp envelopes, filters, effects section and osc. sections. That's way more knobs than the competition (Korg Electribe/M and Roland MC-series)! Further in-depth editing can be achieved with the bundled software editor for Mac/PC.
Yamaha's "Scene Memory" function is also on-board, providing two "Scene" memory snapshots and real-time morphing between scene memories. All knob tweaks can also be recorded into your patterns via the Free EG for motion and evolving effects. There are quality on-board multi-effects (delay, flanger, phaser, overdrive/amp simulator, distortion, EQ) to sweeten your tracks! It's suited perfectly for use by DJs, live on stage, and in the studio as a sound module or as a groovin' analog loop factory for professional and beginning electronic musicians alike!"
