A bit of an underrated 80's synth, it has digital oscillators and warm analog filtering. You can split the keyboard between two patches, each with their own output.

It even has its own sequencer, though I never tried it.
The only flaw is that there is no MIDI thru or echo, just MIDI In and Out.

In excellent condition. Bought freshly repaired in 2004 (if I remember correctly)

Asking $280.

This is a huge MPC-like sampler, housed in metal. Mine holds 32 Mb of sampling memory, and is SCSI equipped.
Bought used in late 2002. Previous owner attempted to install a fan (don't know why, as I have had no heat problems), so there's a hole drilled on the right side! I put a sticker over it.

It has tons of great effects based on Ensoniq's DP/4 engine. In fact, it can be used as an excellent standalone stereo FX unit.
Pretty much every parameter can be tweaked for each sample, via MIDI, velocity, aftertouch, LFOs, 3 envelopes... If you like that sort of thing!

Asking price: $300. Comes with a big padded case for transport + manual (you'll need it)

Excellent working condition... 32 tracks, solid clock. Works with one-sided floppies! For the oldschoolers.
Easy and fun to use, interesting for live improv.

Asking price: $180. Comes with floppies! Never had the manual (and there aren't any online), but I can teach you how it works.
