That would be Gur of Tiptop Audio wearing the T. I had no idea he would be wearing it. I am floored. Thank you Gur!!!! You made my year.

"Hugh LeCaine of Ottawa created the Electronic Sackbut Synthesizer in his home studio over a period of three years from 1945 to 1948. This synthesizer is the first voltage-controlled synthesizer ever built, preceding the manufacture of commercial synthesizers by twenty years. Le Caine, a nuclear physicist with the National Research Council, was passionate about music. He was concerned that the musical notes produced by electronic instruments in the 1930s, such as the Hammond Organ and the Morse Robb Wave Organs, lacked a certain expressivity. Determined to shape technology for the needs of the musician and expand the possibilities of musical sound he built a synthesizer that allows for complex variations in pitch and tone. This, LeCaine achieved, through the innovative use of voltage control. The technique provides an automatic background voltage that can remain stable or be altered through the manipulation of the knobs and keyboard. The keys are sensitive to a vertical pressure that controls the volume and a lateral pressure that changes the pitch. In this way the musician can simultaneously manipulate the volume, pitch, and timbre of each note and produce gradual transitions from one sound to the next. The rudimentary appearance of the synthesizer its three legs made of crossed pieces of scrap wood and with instructions penciled onto its surface camouflages the brilliant concept behind this invention. LeCaine's Electronic Sackbut Synthesizer is the precursor of today's electronic instruments.

"Start of a new track, beginning with 2 synth layers - one from my Moog Little Phatty and one from my Alesis Andromeda A6. After some tweaking, I program some drums using Battery as the sampler. Note that this is an iMac running Windows XP. Check out my projects: www.shiv-r.com / www.myspace.com/shiverindustrial www.thecrystallineeffect.com / www.myspace.com/thecrystallineeffect"
"A discussion group about genoQs Machines' Octopus and Nemo hardware MIDI sequencers has been set up at Yahoo, to accommodate users who would like a mailing list format and archive, in addition to the forum community on genoQs' website. The two machines will be discussed together, rather than in separate topic sections.
You don't need to have a Yahoo email account to join, though you do need to register with Yahoo, where you can make settings to avoid ad emails.

Join us if you are an Octopus or Nemo owner, or simply a fan of these great instruments!"
This one sent my way via @yuyawatanabe. See the current update at the bottom of this post. It's a great, more intimate, video of Peter Vogel sitting on the NAMM floor showing the Fairlight iPhone app. Update: new video added below this, so see the one above the last if you are just reading this.
