Watch your volume levels on this one. It's a bit distorted but gives a good example of Genome being used with other gear.
"Messing around for the 2nd time with the Genome Sequencer app. I realized as I was recording this that the the CCs also get quantized if you have quantization on. I just rolled with it. Very cool app, just need to figure out a few things"

HG Pulse Control VSTi Demos - Waldorf Pulse Editor
The important thing to take away here is the extra functionality added to this editor not available directly on the Pulse, specifically the sequencer. It would be interesting to see additional controllers like this built into editors for the iPad like TouchOSC, MIDI Touch and S1MIDI Trigger. Currently you'd need two iPads and a MIDI merger to mix a sequencer and editor together for similar control of your synths.

Picopaso analog synth from Bleep Labs - DIY project
YouTube Uploaded by gdoodle on Jul 3, 2010
"Built this synth from a kit. Double oscillator analog synthesizer with two optical modulators (that's just a photoresistor so you can get a photo theremin effect.) Still figuring out an enclosure. From Bleep Labs (same geniuses who brought you thingamagoop and bleepblob). Wife does not like us doing it near the hamster - long term effects on rodents are subject of further research."

ARP AXXE VINTAGE ANALOG SYNTH
Tim Davis MOOG SONIC SIX Custom Analog Synthesizer
via this auction
"Tim Davis was killed in a motorcycle accident last month. Tim was a gifted musician and an electronics genius. This synth was a lifelong project and hobby of his. It was purchased the year he graduated high school (1972) and has been with him ever since. I included two pics of an original Moog Sonic Six for comparison.
As you can see the main panel has been removed and replaced with clear plexiglass. In the upper portion: fourteen 1/4" I/O jacks have been added on the left side, eleven 1/8" I/O jacks have been added along the top, 32 various switches, buttons and I/O jacks have been added along the bottom. The original speaker was removed and replaced with a panel of 29 dials and a button. In the lower portion 13 various switches, dials and ports have been added and a replacement speaker (marked ELP) has been mounted. There is a hand written label that says 'TYMCLAVIER', I believe this is a reference to the Synclavier Digital Synthesizer. I have a notebook containing hand written instructions on the use of this creation as well as hand drawn diagrams of many of the circuits involved.
I can not explain the modifications that have been made because I am neither a musician nor an electrician. I can say that I have powered up the Moog and it works. It needs to be refurbished as the keys are not all making good contact when pressed, some are scratchy & some are faint.
This is NOT a stage ready instrument! This is a project for the person who understands the science behind analog synthesizers and enjoys exploring the unknown. This was clearly a labor of love from a man who signed his name Tim "Moog Man" Davis. I hope that this instrument can find its way into the hands of someone who will appreciate the technical genius that created it and enjoy the creative path it leads them down."

via this auction
"A recent unrestored Moog Modular System went for $33,000
Here is your chance to get a restored, fully functional system at a great price.
This Moog modular is all original, and was made in 1969!
All modules have close serial numbers, with matching stamped manufacture date from March 6th, 1969.
It has been well preserved over the years and is in excellent shape for a 40+ year old instrument.
This synth is fully functional and has recently been restored and fully serviced, including a recap, touching up the keyboard for perfect triggering, with replaced bushing for smoother action, and a cleaning of all pots and jacks.
Cosmetically it is in great shape too, the only major issue is the rear a small piece of wood was cut away to tuck the keyboard cables under.
You aren't likely to find another one from this year in such all original and nice condition. Here is your once in a life time chance to own a vintage Moog Modular!
Some of the modules included, all dated from March 6th, 1969, are:
901 Voltage Controlled Oscillator
901-A x2 Oscillator Controller
901-B x5 Oscillator
902 x2 Voltage Controlled Amplifier
903 White Sound Source

Korg X-911 Guitar Synth
via this auction "This guitar synth from Korg – circa 1981 – is just that and more besides as it is also blessed with comprehensive analogue CV (control voltage) and Trig (trigger) interface inputs and outputs via standard ¼ inch jack sockets. The three CV inputs cover control of the X-911’s VCO pitch, filter cut off and the FM In socket allows a synth’s LFO or envelope output (for example) for control of vibrato and other pitching effects on the X-911 VCO.
In effect, these interfacing sockets make the X-911 a very useful and comprehensive synth expander for the Korg MS series of synths and sequencers... the MS20, MS10, MS50 synths and SQ10 analogue sequencer. Other Korg synths (the Sigma?) from that era are also compatible if they use the Hz/Volt CV and Ground trig conventions. Interfacing with an MS series synth in this way could involve, say, the X-911 output being fed back into an external signal input of the controlling synth so that it behaves as if it’s part of its internal architecture! Beyond these synths the unit could be made to interface with any other analogue synths/sequencers using the more standard Octave/Volt and positive triggering conventions via a suitable converter.
As a straight guitar synth this unit tracks surprisingly well and has comprehensive input sensitivity switching to deal with a wide range of synth, guitar, microphone (for voice, wind instruments etc) and other signal control levels. It’s also a great effects box for processing other external instruments like drum machines or vocals. The filter design is derived from the Korg MS series of synths. Broadly speaking the X-911’s instrument and synth outputs can be rapidly combined, muted, mixed (with each other or the input signal), octave split etc using the illuminated switches and balance fader with the right hand ‘synthe’ selection offering additional filter enveloping curves with variation control. Interestingly, the first two synth waveforms (16’ footage) are square/pulse types that are pulse width modulated by their simple but variable envelope knobs which also modulate the main LP filter cut-off.
To my ears it sounds like a darker, heavier and denser (in a good way) version of say, an MS10, veering more, perhaps, toward the characteristic of the earlier Korg 700 and 700S. It can certainly do very weighty bass."

"This 2 x 2CD collection gives another nice overview of the early Dutch Electronic and Tape-pioneers.
It shows the listeners that there were more creative people interested in the spectrum between noise and sound besides the people who worked at the Philips NatLab (more info HERE and Wiki HERE). [see PachPierre.Net for the links]
A collection of work from throughout the Netherlands from Dutch legends like Dick Raaijmakers, Henk Badings, Ton Bruynèl, Tom Dissevelt and more from the years 1955 to 1966 fills up Volume 1.
Volume 2 has music from the years 1966 to 1977 and contains compositions of lesser known tape-artists that were not included on the first volume."

Moog The Source Analog Synth

SN 1627
Description via wikipedia: "The Moog Source is a microphonic Z80 microprocessor-controlled analog synthesizer. Manufactured by Moog Music from 1981 to 1985. The Source was Moog's first synthesizer to offer patch memory storage. The design was also the first (and only) Moog synthesizer to feature a flat-panel membrane keyboard to replace the standard buttons, knobs and sliders, along with multitude panel graphics that were very different from anything Moog offered at the time.
In addition to the memory capable of holding 16 presets, the Source features a 37-note keyboard and two VCO’s that can be selected among three waveforms and three octave. Programmed presets can be saved to an audiocassette interface to free up the onboard memory for additional new patches. The 24dB/octave VCF has parameters for keyboard tracking, cutoff frequency, resonance, and envelope amount. There are two ADSR envelope generators that can be set in single or multi trigger modes, one for the VCF and one for the VCA. For modulation, the Source features LFO and sample and hold. The unit also features a rudimentary sequencer." MOOG 923 Noise Source w/ LP and HP Filters
