http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300588251227It snot mine, but I do know the guy selling it and can vouch for the authenticity of the signatures as I was present when they were done:
This Novation KS4 was one of 2 previously owned and gigged by Howard Jones during his Peaceful Tour, and was also used in his 20th Anniversary concert at London's Shepherds Bush Empire in 2003.
The synth is signed by Howard, and also by all of Kajagoogoo (Nick Beggs, Limahl, Steve Askew, Stuart Neale & Jez Strode) as I lent it to them for a gig during their 2008 reformation when one of their synths blew up! It came back covered in more signatures, so this is a great bit of memorabilia for any Howard Jones or Kajagoogoo fan.
The synth also carries a bit of a story. On the underside (pictured) you will see some writing in yellow marker. This occurred when Howard played a private gig in Egypt, and his rig was unpacked by customs in Egypt (much to Howards disgust!) All of their gear was marked as having been checked, hence the writing underneath!
The synth still contains some of the patches Howard programmed for the gigs. Including the patch showed in the pics, which was for "Just Look at You Now".
Other patches include Hunt The Self, Conditioning, What Is Love, Hide & Seek, Like to Get to Know You Well, and more.
You can see the synth on stage with Howard at his 20th Anniversary Concert here (Minus the signatures!):

This was the result of the synth spending a couple of months in my loft and suffered a little unbeknown to me from some condensation! The synth works fine still, and I have tidied it up and cleaned it as best I can.
