via this auction
"oberhiem obx a synthesizer with encore midi and dsx sequencer...

The OB8-MK [MIDI Kit] can be used as a MIDI controller. If the OB-8 is in Dual mode, it will transmit note information on two MIDI channels. If the OB-8 is in Split mode, the Upper side of the keyboard will be transmitted on the basic channel, while the lower side will be transmitted on the basic channel + 1. In both of these modes, the pitch bend and modulation wheels will be transmitted on both MIDI channel. The OB8-MK transmits the following messages: Note On/Off Program Change Modulation Pitch Bend Sustain Sysex patch transfer. Encore has performed many enhancements over the original Oberheim interface. The OB8-MK has improved hardware and software. We have fixed a serious note locking problem that is in the original Oberheim interface. The OB8-MK also remembers all parameters at power down, unlike the Oberheim MIDI retrofit that resets its MIDI parameters at each power up. We have also restructured the memory map to allow code space for future enhancements. This is not possible with the Oberheim unit. Our retrofit is easy to install, and no soldering to the OB-8 is necessary."

E-MU Orbit 9090 Music Synthesizer + EMU Launch Pad

via this auction
"The Orbit is first in E-mu's line of dance modules. This is strictly engineered for the techno artist. It has 8 MB of samples of all the great vintage analog sounds plus many familiar and typical sounds used in house, hip hop, trance, and techno. It includes an essential digital VCF-like filter that is (on many presets) usually controlled from the modulation wheel on your keyboard controller! It's great for filling tracks with lush sweeping pads, or trancing along a 303 bassline pattern and filtering away. It is a beautiful golden single-space rack unit with a big easy to read LCD.

This unit also includes the E-MU Launch Pad so you will have everything you need to get up and jamming in no time. Please contact me if you are interested in any additional equipment or if you have any questions."
