Roland GR-33B

via this auction

"Roland GR-33B all analog bass guitar synthesizer floor unit. The unit was designed for use with a Roland GR series bass but it also works well with any of the 24 pin Roland G series 6 string guitar synth controllers (G303, G808, G202, G505, G707 etc). Remember this unit does not produce any sounds on its own – you need to trigger it with a 24 pin Roland GR series bass or guitar."

"General Description

Alesis ION 49-Key 8-Voice Analog Modeling Synth

49-key analog modeling synthesizer. 30 realtime control knobs. 40 bands of vocoding.

Ion is an affordable 49-key analog modeling synthesizer with bold sounds, a futuristic design, a turbo-charged sound engine, and a simple user interface. Driven by Alesis' proprietary 500 MIPS sound engine - delivering up to 5x the processing power of modeling synths which cost hundreds more - the Ion packs eight voices of smooth, high-bandwidth analog-style punch, with three oscillators and two multi-mode filters per voice. This impressive four-part multitimbral sound engine serves up everything from warm, round bass tones to lush pads and gritty lead sounds, making Ion perfect for music styles ranging from rock to funk and the latest house, techno and trance dance styles. The Ion's clean, intuitive user interface is comprised of 30 realtime control knobs, over 70 direct-access buttons, a pitch bend wheel, two assignable modulation wheels, and a large 160x160 graphic LCD . Everything from radical filter sweeps to subtle tonal changes can be performed in real-time, just like the classic analog synths of the past. The Ion's onboard effects include chorus, flange, phaser, echo, distortion, fuzz, compressor and more - plus a full-featured Vocoder, which can perform up to 40 bands of vocoding with no negative impact on polyphony. Connections include four balanced analog outputs, stereo balanced analog inputs, and MIDI In and Out/Thru ports. A built-in switching power supply is also included.

Kurzweil K250 Keyboard

images via this auction

"This famous keyboard was designed originally for Stevie Wonder and was adopted by many of the top keyboardist / composers of the 1980s as state of the art.

At a cost exceeding £12000 (twelve thousand pounds GBP) you had to be a professional to be able to afford one!

Offers a fully weighted keyboard with incredibly authentic samples sounds, a sample facility, sound layering, multi timbral sequencing and more.

Still sought after today as a useable classic that has qualities not repeated in other keyboards.

The keyboard is huge, and comes with it's own easy to collapse stand and power supply module which doubles as a casing for the piano style foot pedals.

This keyboard came to me approximately 15 years ago from music producer and composer Paul Brooks (K-tel, Boy George, War Of The Worlds, David Alexander etc)."
