Clavia Nord Lead 2X Virtual Analog Synth w Nord Case

via this auction
"From the Clavia site

The Nord Lead 2X has the same characteristic sound and functions as the Nord Lead 2, except for some very nice improvements:

* X-tra polyphony: The Nord Lead 2X comes with 20 voices polyphony - very useful when creating layered sounds, "power pads", awesome leads and booming basses. 20 voices are also very beneficial in sequencing situations when you use more than one sound at a time.
* X-tra memory: The Nord Lead 2X comes with a large internal memory holding 4 x 99 user Programs, 100 user Performances and 4 x 10 user Percussion Kits plus 6 x 99 factory Programs and 3 x 100 factory Performances! The Nord Lead 2X is 100% patch compatible with the Nord Lead 2 which means that you can transfer sounds directly between the models via MIDI.
* X-tra high resolution: The awesome sound in the Nord Lead 2X is refined even further thanks to the brand new, crystal clear 24-bit DACs running at 96kHz.

Why change a winning concept? We didn’t! With the Nord Lead 2X, we simply upgraded the hardware, maintaining the same concept and sound. Virtual analog sound will live on for years to come, and the Nord Lead 2X is part of that legacy. The Nord Lead 2X features all the characteristics of its predecessor, and incorporates many new features as well. The “in your face” sound of the Nord Lead 2X has been enhanced with 24-bit D/A converters. The preset memory houses 7 x 99 factory Programs, 3 x 100 factory performances, and 7 x 10 Percussion Kits. Additionally, the user banks give you room to store your own sounds - 3 x 99 Programs, 3 x 100 Performances, and 3 x 10 Percussion Kits. The polyphony has been upgraded to 20 voices as well. The Nord Lead 2X is compatible with the Nord Lead 2, so you can transfer your custom sounds directly via MIDI. The Nord Lead 2X preserves all the essential parts of the Nord Lead 2, including the user fast and easy interface and its characteristic sound. The Nord Lead 2X continues the tradition of Nord’s unique method of sound generation. Mathematical simulations of the signals generated by analog oscillators are the basis for the incredible sound that speaks for itself. People know Nord by its sound, and the Nord Lead 2X gives you that certain quality that is unmistakable!"

MFB Synth II

via this auction
"MFB SynthII • 3 analogue VCOs (sawtooth, square, triangle waveforms) • 2 envelope generators (ADSR) • analogue 24 dB lowpass filter with resonance (VCF) • 2 LFOs (sawtooth, square, triangle, random waveforms) • 50 preset- and 49 user memories • integrated step sequencer The MFB-SYNTH II is a monophonic Synthesizer module. It uses analogue circuits that are voltage controlled for oscillators, filters and amplification. The synthesizer is controlled by MIDI, CV/Gate or the integrated step sequencer that can hold up to 25 sequences with 32 steps each. Here are the details: The VCO sections contains three individual oscillators that are scaled to the volt/octave standard. The selectable waveforms are sawtooth, square and triangle. VCO II offers an additional impulse wave and pulse width control for the square wave. The octave can be set between 4`, 8`and 16` or 32’. An additional detune amount of plusminus one octave can be set for VCO 2 and VCO 3. The VCOs can either be modulatied by an LFO or VCO 3. VCO1 can be set to SYNC and two digital ringmodulations are available as VCO1+2 and VCO2+3. The mixer allows level control of all oscillators plus noise and the level of the external audio input. The lowpass filter is a resonant 24 dB/octave design. Emphasis (resonance) can be set up to self oscillation. The cutoff frequency can be automodulated by an LFO or by and VCO. KEY controls the influence of the keyboard pitch on the cutoff parameter (Keyboard scaling). Both VCF and VCA have their propietary envelope generators with Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release parameters. The VCA can also be modulated by an LFO for characteristic tremolo effects. There are LFOs. The waveforms offered are sawtooth, rectangle, triangle and random. The can be set to „One Shot“ mode to be used as simple envelopes. The MFB-SYNTH II 50 preset- and 49 memory locations. The synthesizer will respond to incoming velocity data (MIDI). The velocity information can be used to control either VCF cutoff or VCA level. Pitch- and Modulation wheel are both recognized. The step sequencer sends and receveives MIDI clock and responds to Start and Stop MIDI commands. Connectors: MIDI In/Out, Audio In/Out , CV/GATE In, Power (power supply included) The MFB Synth II measures 315 x 165 x 387 mm. It has the following connectors: MIDI In/Out, Audio In/Out , CV/GATE In, and Power."

Mattel Synsonics Analog Drum Machine

via this auction
"100% analog Mattel Synsonics Drum machine. Makes awful funk sounds. Sweet bass thud, analog noise snare and 2 toms.TOM 1 is tuneable by pot on the side. Across the bottom are several buttons that play the sounds at 1/4-note, 1/8th-note and 1/16th-note divisions of a tempo... pushing multiple buttons at a time creates different rhythms. This machine also has a sequencing feature in which you can record your own patterns. easily modified drum machine - search and youll find mods for individual outputs, send triggers , cv in, tuning etc! ideal for all daddy modular synth projects"

"This particular one has a Synthouse Midi mod on it, I could'nt get MIDI to work so I contacted Synthhouse

it appears the mod was done strictly to use as a filter input , no midi mod works for this unit period."

# Monstrous four oscillator voice architecture: two analog and two digital.
# True stereo signal path with separate Curtis analog low-pass filters in each channel.
# Dedicated onboard effects (feedback, delay, distortion, high-pass filter, etc.).
# Highly accessible sound control for easy, intuitive operation: 58 knobs and 33 switches.
# 16 x 4 step sequencer really brings the Evolver to life with evolving “pseudo-polyphonic” sounds – you won’t believe it's mono!
# Stereo audio input for audio processing of external stereo or mono signals, enabling the synth to act as a unique stereo effects processor.
# Everything (sequencer, LFOs, and delay) syncs perfectly to MIDI.
# Easy-to-navigate matrix-style interface for quick editing and real-time control of 8 parameters simultaneously.
# Multiple Evolvers can be daisy-chained for increased polyphony.
