The Namastitar

Remember Ciat Lonbarde? Here's his latest piece.
"This is the prototypical model of a Namastitar, an analog/string hybrid. The brass frets, besides setting the intervals of the acoustic string tones, are also nodes of an oscillator. So by playing the fretboardyou articulate string tone as well as oscillator tone. This oscillator makes a ring-modulation circuit with the sound of the string so you have complex articulated tones formed out of plucked string, as well as smooth oscillator tones made by pressing on the bridge (like the sidrassi organ somewhat). There are four knobs: oscillator basis frequency, fretboard convolution, mix of affected and clean string sounds, and master volume. The fretboard convolution knob controls how the oscillator responds to the fret scale- going upwards or downwards or upwards-downwards."

Guess the synths

Adrian Belew's Roland PG-800

Title link takes you to some nice shots via this auction.

"With it's 23 sliders, 16 switches, 3 knobs and 2 buttons, the Roland PG-800 is a godsend for live tweaking while you run MIDI sequences to your synth. It's great for sweeping the resonance or cutoff while a nice throbbing bassline is playing! We could not imagine programming the MKS-70 or JX synths without this unit. It makes programming these synths 1000 times faster and easier!!! We must also mention, this unit belonged to Adrian Belew, the well known guitarist (and probably the most innovative one at least) for King Crimson. It's in amazing condition, so I don't think he gigged with it. I do know the Roland JX-8P was his main synth for awhile, so I can imagine him using this programmer to get his sounds programmed."
