The Yamaha CS-50
The Yamaha CS-50, a vintage synthesizer from 1976, is a scaled down version of the classic Yamaha CS-80 and CS-60 synths.
It offers 4-voice polyphony, with 1 oscillator per voice.
While it has a much simpler architecture, it offers a relatively inexpensive option for getting the classic Yamaha CS sounds.

This demo of the rare Zion Turbo Guitar Synth Controller demonstrates how cool guitar synthesizers can be.
This clip shows the Zion Turbo synth guitar used with the Roland GI-20 to drive Native Instruments Reaktor 5.0 and Arturia V2600. A BX-13-VX is used to interface between the 24-pin and 13-pin interface.

The Moog Micromoog
AutomaticGainsay takes a look at the Moog Micromoog, a vintage one-oscillator monosynth that was designed as a budget alternative to the Moog Minimoog:
Moog’s first “inexpensive Minimoog.” Released in 1975, it provided great functionality for less money. Since the analog boom, this wonderful synth has been overlooked, and in some cases decried, by most. Hopefully, this video will indicate why the Micromoog deserves more respect.
