A nice complete one up for grabs!

A similar Patch synth interface (the floor unit) just went recently for around USD $400 - so I'm guessing this whole setup will creep up to the $1200-1500 range, based on what Swedes are going for these days(!) All you need in addition is a little analog synth to hook it up to. You'll be able to join that Kraftwerk tribute band yet! And you don't even have to play keys!! Yay!!!

There's a cool video of a Patch guitar in action here (and bass briefly at the end of the clip). This guy has it hooked up to an Oberheim SEM - an old keyboardless synthesizer that was sold as an expansion unit (the white box with all the knobs). Those also fetch a small fortune these days.

A friend of mine has the bass, but no floor unit. I sent him the link.

The floor units pop up from time to time too. I can't imagine the circuitry inside of it is very complex, since it doesn't actually generate any sound - just outputs control and gate/trigger voltages to tell a synth what to do. It shouldn't be too expensive to pick one up, but I guess you never know with Ebay!

The shoes, man!
