DSI Evolver

via this auction
"From the David Smith Instruments web site:
The original desktop Evolver is a compact monophonic synthesizer that packs an amazing amount of sonic power into a small package. It features two analog oscillators and two digital oscillators utilizing the waves from the legendary Prophet VS. Classic Curtis analog lowpass filters and real analog VCAs round out the analog section. But what really sets the Evolver apart from the rest of the pack is the way in which analog and digital are integrated. The LFOs, step sequencer, and three separate delays can all be synced for massive, rhythmic, time-based effects in stereo.
Features

* Monstrous four oscillator voice architecture.
* True stereo signal path with separate Curtis analog low-pass filters in each channel.
* Dedicated onboard effects (feedback, delay, distortion, high-pass filter, etc.).
* 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 more polyphony."

MAM MB-33 mk2 Analog Bass Synth (TB-303 Bass Clone)

via this auction
"The MB 33 is a rack-mounted TB-303 clone released in the mid-nineties by German synth maker MAM (Music And More). It's basically a re-packaged Freebass 383. It is a true analog monophonic bass synthesizer with MIDI implementation so you can create 303-like bass lines from your sequencer. Its single VCO offers the same two basic waveforms as the TB-303: a sawtooth and square wave. But in the MB 33 they can be mixed together for a more interesting tone than the 303 could originally produce.

Additional knobs control the VCO tuning, filter frequency cutoff, resonance, envelope mod amount, envelope decay time and accent intensity - the same controls found on the TB-303! The 24dB lowpass filter can also produce the characteristic sound of the 18 dB filter used in the original 303. There's also an auto-slide function (4 octave range) for producing those 303-style slides and a separate input for filtering external signals through it. Unfortunately there is no program storage.

The MB 33 mkII released in 1998 adds a few more features. The 24dB filter has been replaced by an 18dB filter just like the original TB-303 used. A new sub-oscillator was added and can be mixed with the other two waveforms for even meatier mono-bass sounds. A new distortion effect is also present and can be dialed-in to dirty things up - sounds great when resonated at high frequency cut-offs! MIDI can send/receive controls for the cutoff, resonance, ENV mod, accent, decay, distortion, and autoslide on/off."

Yamaha SS30 String Synth

via this auction
"the SS30 uses divide-down circuitry with two sets of top-octave generators which can be detuned against each other, plus an Ensemble section, The SS30 has actually got 4 main voice cards its like a 4 voice poly with further divide down circuitry
This link may be of interest to see the main voice cards and to see how well built the SS30 actually is The woodwork is the nicest I have seen on a synth -all marine grade ply with a thick wood veneer compared to CS-80 string presets The CS80´s sound thin and weedy -- not very realisitc by any accounts -- while the SS30 has the same quality as a Solina/ARP String Ensemble, i. e. making synthesised strings sound as realistic as possible. Also, the SS30 has an airy quality to it (others would call it "thin" or "anemic") which the CS80 can only achieve with extensive EQ tweaking."

E-mu EMU Proteus Keys PK-6

via this auction
"Manufacturer's description -
The new PK-6 Proteus Keys is a sleek keyboard with E-mu's Proteus 2000 sounds and features. The PK-6 comes with the Proteus's 32 MB "Composer" soundset, and additional Proteus expansion ROM soundsets can be added up to 128 MB. The sounds cover the whole spectrum of synthesizer type sounds, from real instruments to bizarre sounds and effects. The keyboard is a full 61-keys long with 16 real-time controllers. There's also 16 on-board syncable/programmable arpeggiators and the Proteus 2000's Super BEATS interactive Groove Mode. With 16 mute/enable buttons this keyboard is set for live and on the fly performances with plenty of real-time controls! Unlike the Proteus 2000 which is 128 voice polyphonic, the PK-6 has just 64 voices and only 4 audio outputs as opposed to 6 in the rack modules. The PK-6 also features multi-mode resonant filters, 24-bit DACs, and an affordable price tag!The PK-6 is part of a new line of performance keyboards launched by E-mu that repackage their current line-up of top notch sound modules targeted at specific genres. For all purpose synthesizer, the PK-6 Proteus Keys. For HipHop and R&B, the MK-6 Mo'Phatt Keys. For techno trance and dance, the XK-6 Xtreme Keys. And Halo from Ensoniq, which is another all purpose synthesizer.Every one of these ships with one 32 MB sound-set, but are expandable up to 128 MB via three additional slots for 32 MB expansion cards. These cards include (ranging from $249 to $395):

* 9061: Siedlaczek Orchestra 32 MB ROM.
* 9062: Pure Phatt 32 MB ROM - standard in Mo'Phatt, MP-7 and MK-6.
* 9063: Beat Garden 32 MB ROM - standard in Orbit 3.
* 9082: Protozoa 16 MB ROM - standard in Proteus 1, 2, 3.
* 9083: Definitive B-3 32 MB ROM - standard in B-3.
* 9084: Techno Synth Construction Yard 32 MB ROM - standard in Orbit 3.

* 9088: Sounds of the ZR featuring the Perfect Piano 32 MB ROM - standard in Ensoniq Halo.
* 9089: X-Lead 32 MB ROM - standard in Xtreme Lead-1, XL-7 and XK-6.

With these expansion options, you could buy a PK-6, then add the sounds of the Orbit 3, XK-6, and the MP-7... or any other combinations you may want. If you like desktop synths, you can start with an MP-7 or XL-7, and then add these same expansion card options to add Proteus, Orchestral, or the new Halo sounds to them. E-mu/Ensoniq's interchangeable sound cards and a variety of keyboard/sound-module options means that there's a model out there for everybody now."
