KORG MiniKORG Mini 700 Analog Synthesizer c.1973
via this auction
"The MiniKORG 700 (circa 1973/4) was Korg's first commercially available analog monosynth.
The unit functions as it should and is in good condition for it's age. There are no crackly pots or sliders, each one has been treated with Caig Labs DeoxIT Fader F5. There are two slider caps and some screws missing from the unit and a few of the keys are worn. There are some cosmetic marks. This of course does not affect the functionality of the synth. In the auction photograph you will see that the Mini 700 is powered up."
SYNARE 3
via this auctionvia the listing: "Famously used by King Tubby and highly coveted by the dub fraternity. Got this in a trade recently but don't really need it. I've tested it and everything seems to work ok - 2 oscillators (Osc 2 can be switched to LFO), noise source, 24db filter with resonance (can self oscillate and be used as a third oscillator) and 2 decay envelopes (one for filter and one for VCA) So quite a good spec and can make a lot of different noises. It also has a modification for an external trigger input on 1/8" jack.
It sounds a little distorted to me, so may need a little tlc, though it might just be the batteries I used (it takes 2 x 9v PP3, the only ones I have are old and a bit flat)"

Novation BassStation Rack Synthesizer
via this auction"This is an essential unit for the techno musician or anybody interested in analog synthises. The real time control over the filter cutoff, resonance, filter env mod, filter attack, decay, sus and release, as well as the VCA envelope make this module virtually unbeatable. control an old beast through the CV gate ins and outs via midi, and put an external source through the filters! 303 emulation is interesting, but doesn't snarl on the lowest notes. I bet you could get it to though by layering a short square wave onto the top of a sawtooth - better yet, just make a new and interesting one of your own! Mind shattering results to be sure..
A true programmable monosynth for the '90s, without the reliability and durability problems that plague the analogue equivalents of yesteryear. As with the BassStation keyboard, tremendous fun and an unqualified bargain, with built-in MIDI/CV convertor to boot."
