Metasonix TM-1m Waveshaper

"NEWS FLASH! Bridechamber is now offering a version of our TM-1 waveshaper and ringmod, in a true MOTM-compatible panel package."

More info on Metasonix.

Some notes:
the PC board is enclosed
it does not run off the MOTM power supply
it uses a 12v AC-output adapter as tubes draw far too much power to run on a modular-synth power supply.

Anyone interested in other formats? Feel free to comment

"1st technical test of the Dirty Electronics Ensemble playing their Sudophones at De Montfort University, Leicester.
The Sudophone has been designed by John Richards (kREEPA) for a specially commissioned performance with Japanese noise artist Merzbow. The Sudophone is a collision of oscillators, feedback networks and distortion housed in a junk tin can with grip bolts and electrode-controllers. Merzbow will be joined on stage by the 25 piece Dirty Electronics Ensemble made up of De Montfort University students and myself at 2 concerts in Birmingham and Leicester.

The GrainBox and SoundScratcher [ixiQuarks]

YouTube via ixiaudio. Follow-up to this post on ixiQuarks. You can find more videos here.
"This video shows the GrainBox, a granular synthesis application that makes the complex parameters of granular synthesis easy to use and understand in 2D space. We then load up the SoundScratcher instrument and do further granular synthesis on that. We record the drawn trajectories onto it and then load up another instrument that we play whilst the first one plays automatically."

Electro-Harmonix Q-Tron with the Korg R3

YouTube via gearwire
"We've been having a lot of fun in the Gearwire studios with the Korg R3, but Bill Holland wasn't satisfied with the crispness of the bass tones coming out of the thing. Bill tweaks away at the Q-Tron in this video, giving us a good idea of how the multitude of parameters you can tweak on a high-quality, dedicated effects box can add depth and dimension to the R3's presets. See more at gearwire.com"
