You can listen to the tracks on modularsynth.net.

ARP Odyssey MK II
images via this auctionSome details from the auction:
"Listen to these sample recordings I made sequencing this Odyssey through CV/Gate, playing along with a TR-909, then with a TR-707 (Doepfer sequencer, TR-909 and TR-707 are not included in this auction! J) The 3rd recording is just the ARP, no drums, no sequencer, only the Odyssey's Sample and Hold circuit.
arp01.mp3
arp02.mp3
arp03.mp3
In each recording there is no overdubbing and no synths other than the Odyssey: ONLY A SINGLE ODYSSEY IS PLAYING: I know this is hard to believe, because it sounds like several synths playing at once, but this demonstrates the AWESOME POWER of the Odyssey: it would take several other synths working together to do what a single Odyssey can do! Also, no effects have been added. In such a short amount of time I could only demonstrate a very basic idea of the Odyssey sounds. This doesn’t even scratch the surface of what the Odyssey is capable of! But it gives you some idea how it sounds."
Yamaha VL-7
images via this auction
"It is a model VL7 with the serial number KP01772. It was purchased new in 1996."
Yamaha Tenori-On
Shot of the packaging via this auction. An interesting note, to me at least, is the auction includes monome in the title. Not in that it's deceitful in any way, but because it's a reflection of what people are searching for out there. It will be interesting to see how the monome and Tenori-On weather over time.
Macbeth modular synthesizer prototype 1-4
YouTube via scienceforce
"This is a UNIQUE modular synthesizer prototype in the world created by Ken Macbeth, his sound & features are impressive with 7 VCO + 6 suboscillators, 13 oscillators in total!!! In my experience I can say that this modular project is much more complex and powerful than the new M5n or M3X... this modular has a FAT sound, another planet!"
Starkey Hearing Science modular synthesizer (video 4)
YouTube via scienceforce.
You can find the previous 3 vids here.
"Starkey Hearing Science analog modular synthesizer laboratory. It is a scientific instrument, with many particular synthesis features... with this gear you can also process any external signal inputs between filters, vco's and more... The Starkey laboratory is absolutely not common & classic instrument ;-)This one model has standard jacks connectors and 3 vco cv in and 2 gate in located on the external switch"
Gargamel - Recording synth (MiniMoog)
YouTube via mufte
"Norwegian rock band Gargamel started recording their second album at Harry´s Gym Studio in Oslo in December 2007.
This is from when we recorded synths at in April of 2008. It was recorded at Bjørn Viggo Andersens appartement featuring his lovely synth collection, and the synths are played by him. Bjørn was the original keyboard player of Gargamel and was the one playing keyboards on our debut album Watch for the Umbles.
Bjørn mostly playes the wonderful Minimoog, but also some Korg MS-20 and Moog Prodigy.
Gargamels new album will be out late 2008 or early 2009.
Filmed by Tom Uglebakken (guitar, vocals, flute and sax) and Morten Tornes (drums.)

Gakken SX-150 on Microscopics
see the full write-up with images on the microscopics blog"My good friend Charles Webster brought me a small gift from his recent Japanese/ Australian tour to help beef up the Microscopics studio: a copy of the latest Gakken magazine which also comes with an analog synth as a simple-to-build construct kit. There’s no soldering, or hair-pulling, you just need a small screwdriver and about half an hour.
It’s like a souped up Stylophone and about the same size, with a pen (you can pretend it’s a Fairlight light pen) that makes contact with a metal (or carbon in this case) keyboard to play the notes, except the SX-150 keyboard is continuous with no note divisions, so you’ll have to determine the notes by ear like on your Theremin. It also has a filter, LFO, simple VCA and pitch envelopes, and an external input to process your Minimoog." flickr set courtesy of microscopics.

Blofeld Keyboard Product Page Up
You can find the official Waldorf Blofeld Keyboard product page with preliminary info here (extensive specs are listed)."The little villain grows up
Not only on the outside did he gain weight, also his inner qualities have seen a remarkable step-up: besides the virtual-analog synthesis and the classic wavetables it now sports a whopping 60 megabytes of sample memory.
Just imagine to add a vocal-like noise spectrum to a typical Wavetable pad, spice-up a virtual-analog solo sound with a strong attack sample or just process any other sample with the countless oscillator and filter modulations.
Play your sound creations on the high-quality keyboard with velocity and aftertouch. Pitchbend and modulation wheel are at your disposal and, as a matter of course, you can connect a sustain pedal.
All this is packaged in a sleek metal enclosure with a big graphic display, endless stainless steel rotaries and an internal power supply.
And although it comes for an unbeatable price tag, we add something very special. It comes:
From Waldorf with Love!"
Check out the site for full specs.
