RBG LED Button Matrix 4x4
YouTube via 4mspedals
"This demonstrates a 4x4 button matrix. It's a cross between the Peggy 2 and Sparkfun button board, with my own hack for reading the button presses. An AVR atmega16 controls a STP16DP05 chip and twelve transistors to read the buttons and animate the LEDs. An atmega168 (like in the Arduino) would be suited as well. The matrix can be expanded up to 8x8 without any extra components (just three more button boards and wires running to the motherboard).
There's 8-colors (green, blue, cyan, red, yellow, purple, white, off), but more are possible"

" The Stars of this video are the ESQ 1 for the Cs80 brass leads and the Juno 6 for it's authentic sounding electronic beeps. The bells and percussion from the Korg x5 and Juno G. Microkorg on strings. really enjoyed this and amazing how a few affordable synths can re-create the unique bladerunner sound."

"A track I put together a few months back. Wasn't quite happy at the time, but I quite like it now, tweaked it a little bit and put together a video using old footage, so excuse the usual "he's not playing it" parts! Also threw in my cd front and back cover which I hope to have finished soon. Been spending very little time in the studio this summer (too hot!) Some of the patches are from the CS80v I was experimenting with with . Thanks again to all you people who subscribe ,support and inspire my youtube channel! :)"

LinnDrum II Update
via Roger Linn Design
"Update - July 9, 2009:
We’re still hard at work but regrettably won't be able to meet our earlier estimate of a 3rd-quarter 2009 ship date. The recent changes in the economy have caused us to rethink our design, which had become too expensive. One problem is that Dave’s customers and my customers had different views of what the product should be, so we had been working on a more elaborate design that we thought would please them both. Then the economy tanked. Oops. The other issue is that Dave and his team have been having such success with their analog synths that they’ve been spreading themselves pretty thin trying to work on both projects.
So given these circumstances, we’d prefer not to state another release date estimate at this time, but when we do we promise to post it here along with any other information we’re able to release. Also, given that Dave and his team have their hands pretty full and that a beat-oriented product is more of a Roger product anyway, we’ll probably be selling it through Roger Linn Design instead of from both companies as we had previously considered.
I’d personally love to tell everybody all the details of the product design, features and price as we did with our initial designs of the product, but there’s that pesky problem of keeping the information from our competitors. So we need to keep tight-lipped for now and regrettably can’t answer any questions. Thanks also to those who have kindly asked to place advance orders. However, we don’t feel it’s right to accept orders until we are able to release the price or more information about the product.
And now I must get back to work. :)

"http://switchedonsynthesizer.blogspot...
The last few weeks I've been working restoring this ARP Odyssey. This is an ARP Odyssey MKII 2813. Filter is 4075 model and the synth has CV/gate in/outs. Some of the works that have been made were :
- All sliders have been desoldered from the pcb , opened and cleaned and changed if needed.
- All switches have been desoldered from the pcb , opened and cleaned.
- Boards have been cleaned
- Keyboard have been totally disassembled and cleaned
- Keyboard bushings have been replaced
- CV and Gate bus have been cleaned
- Front panel has been cleaned
- Filter has been mod for higher cut off frequency ( 4075 filter bug correction )
-etc etc etc
You can see pictures of this restoration on my flickr
