Cheetah MS6
via this auction"The Cheetah MS6 was produced in the late 80s by a British company called Cheetah. The MS6 is considered their best creation. It’s a 6-voice polyphonic/multitimbral analog synth in a single-unit rack module. It has two digitally controlled oscillators per voice (which makes 12 DCOs) to provide better stability. It has the same sound chips as the Oberheim Matrix 1000; the difference is the MS6 is multitimbral. There are also 6 analog filters."
Kurzweil K2000 Sampling / Synthesizer
via this auction"The K2000 is a piece of sampling and synthesis history, which broke boundaries and staggered listeners with it's realism when Gerry Kurzweil first demo'd it at a music expo. It uses V.A.S.T. (Variable Architecture Synthesis Technology) which allows you to take any multi-sample, noise or waveform and process it using just about any synthesis technique. The source of these multi-samples are from the 8MB of ROM which hold tons of authentic and superb quality samples. The internal processing is 32-bit with 18-bit DACs. The K2000 uses 31 sound-shaping algorithms to provide a variety of resonant filters, EQs, continuous panning, amplitude modulation, crossfade, distortion, digital wrap, waveshaper, pulse width modulation, high frequency enhancement, low frequency oscillators, hard sync oscillators and mixing oscillators, all with real-time MIDI control.
It's a beautiful synth with an elegant and organized layout and very high quality pitch and mod wheels. Not to mention a 61-note velocity & aftertouch sensitive keyboard with a quality feel and response to playing. The K2000s (pictured above) adds a quality sampler with standard 2MB RAM that can be expanded to 64MB. Sample in stereo or mono, via analog or digital inputs and you have all the sample edit functions you'll need to create some of your own sounds. 
Other professional features include stereo multi-effects capable of four simultaneous effects including reverb, chorus, delay, multi-tap delay, flange, rotary simulation and more. Up to six polyphonic audio outputs. There's also the 32-Track sequencer, fully editable, with features like 768 ppq resolution and nondestructive track editing and groove quantizing.
This K2000 has been expanded with the orchestral ROM board, and is in perfect working order."
KORG EM 1 Synthesizer
via this auction"The EM 1 has eight drum parts and two synth parts and you can assign sounds to each part and edit them. With 144 drum waves and 50 synth waves up to 256 patterns. Can be controlled as a MIDI sound module. There is a slight deformity in the plastic on the front edge where a hot light was to close but does not affect the function"
