The Paradiso modular was recently featured in this video. What you might have missed, myself included, is that it is actually programmable online here. Via Wired : "Now, anyone can play one of the biggest modular synthesizers in the world, thanks to a new project, code-named 'PatchWerk.' With PatchWerk’s simple web interface, users around the world can control the colossal rig in real time, from its current home at the MIT Museum...
By manipulating various toggles on the web interface, users around the world can turn on a sweeping oscillator sound, activate the chaotic sequencer, turn on drum machines and a growling speech synthesizer sound, control frequency and tempo, and much more. Letting anyone play the synth in real time could potentially lead to chaos, but the current design of PatchWerk — which has a small group of users experiment with sounds while other users wait in a queue — is meant to help control for that... (You can listen to the synth at any time, day or night.)"If you take a look at the Paradiso label you'll see the first mention comes in the comments of this Cat on a Modular post from back in 2005.
