Algorithmic Arts
Title link takes you to Algorithmic Arts, makers of some interesting software midi tools including SoftStep, and BankStep sequencers. Two more I need to check out for coming UMPC.
SoftStep (Pink Flamingos!)

BankStep

Update via the comments:
"The most amazing soft sequencer i ever tried. Lots of wicked and unique features. The idea of the bouncing "ball sequencer" recently released as a VSt Plug In originates from Softstep. John Dunn the mastermind of algorithmic arts is a very helpful guy and has a long history as a developer (he did eg the sounds for some old Atari 2600 console games back then)
Softstep is now replaced by Artwonk.
The application has a steap learning curve and might not be suited for beginners, but the online documentation and tutorials are very good.
So, if you have never been satisfied with the features of your standard stepsequncer or ever wanted to turn DNA sequnces or Pitcures in to Midi controllers
give it a go."

MRP Sequencer

"MRP Sequencer is a software step sequencer conceptually very similar to vintage analogue step sequencers such as the ARP 1601/1603 and Korg SQ10, and recent digitally controlled step sequencers such as the Frostwave Fatcontroller and Colin Fraser's P3.
MRP Sequencer goes a little beyond the feature set of most step sequencers.
sequences of up to 64 steps
track count limited only by processing power
output MIDI port and channel can be set per step
select-modify paradigm enables any set of steps to be affected by editing operations
extensive randomisation/variation functions
graphic user interface
text user interface enables full scripting"
Title link takes you there. Via Jason Proctor on AH.

Guitar Through an EMS Synthi AKS

In via the comments section of this post:
"Harghh, I remember when I inject my guitar into my Ems Synthi Aks just for youn this is recorded in live in 1981 (guitar in Ems with ring modulation and RSF and other synth...)"
The Synthi shot to the left is from this post on Chroniques de la Mao. I wonder if this is the same Synthi used in the mp3.
BTW, this is a great showcase of the Synthi. Thanks deb7680!
Update via deb7680 in the comments:
"Thanks Matrixsynth. For you question, the Ems Synthi Aks it's the same. Here, other picture many "machines" in 1981 : www.deb7680.com/photosblog/matos200.jpg
And another sample:
"A voice passed in my Ems Synthi Aks while JP plays a psychedelic melody. Recorded at the time of the same concert of HplanK as "Images Mouvantes" in 1981.
