Beatmaking on ReBirth RB-338 (in 3 min)
YouTube via Denkitribe.
"Who said "Everybody needs a 303"? Now ReBirth is free, so everyone can have two 303s. Let's make an acid music (in only three minutes)."
GypsiMIDI
Remember the GypsiMIDI? The following are some words from someone that has actually used one. Note that it is for sale. Contact info below.Via Matt:
"General info: It's the right arm. I have all of the software and manuals that came with it (these things can also be downloaded from the sonalog webpage). I purchased it about 4 months ago and have used it about 10 times. The project that I was getting together to use it with ended up falling apart and now I have this really cool motion to midi controller that I never use. As for what it does, it translates your right arm's entire range of motion into midi CC's which can then be used to manipulate synthesizers and the like. I was using it with a davesmith mono-evolver and getting amazing results out of it. I was able to play the keyboard with my left hand and manipulate the synth with my right arm in real-time. Because there is so much information being recorded from your arm's movement you can really control alot more parameters than you can with just simple knob tweaking alone. Furthermore, this technology has the potential to revolutionize electronic music (and music in general) if placed in capable hands. Imagine dance music being created live and in realtime by dancers. I think the best way to understand how it works is just to watch the demonstration video's provided on Sonalog's website. I am asking $900 for it. I paid $1300 for it including S/H when I purchased it. Please direct emails to this email address paisleyartmachine AT gmail.com"

Roland GR-300
"Classic Roland resonant filter, compression, vibrato, pitch-shifting and awesome hex-distortion. You can plug in a CV pedal (not included) for hands-free controlled filter sweeps. LIghtning-fast, responsive analog synth circuitry with no lag-time! Requires a Roland G-808, G-505, G-303, G-202 guitar controller and cable (original G-500 guitar may work also, not sure). This unit is not designed to work with the later Roland GK MIDI pickups, it uses a 24 pin cable which is NOT included.

Roland GR-100
"Early 1980's Roland GR-100 polyphonic guitar synthesizer unit, excellent condition, all functions work as they should. Sounds great!! Classic Roland filter, vibrato, chorus, and features an even more sophisticated hex-distortion circuit than the GR-300 model. The hex-fuzz offers incredible clarity for each string, you can acheive that 'clear distortion' reminiscent of Brian May or Robert Fripp. And there is also a separate VCF circuit for each string! You can plug in a CV pedal (not included) for hands-free controlled filter sweeps. Very inspiring to play and harder to find than the GR300. LIghtning-fast, responsive analog synth circuitry with no lag-time! Requires a Roland G-808, G-505, G-303, G-202 guitar controller and cable.
Please note: this unit will not work with the later Roland GK-series MIDI pickups, it uses a 24 pin cable which is NOT included.

Title link takes you to more shots in a flickr set by missmillogram, sent my way via ISO50 / Tycho.Update: Looks like there is one up for auction with some of the same shots and some different.

Title link takes you to the studio page for technik. The two shots to show the diversity of what you will find there.Above is tph (Thomas P. Heckmann) and the machines.
Below is the PPG Realizer - this was in essence going to be the first synth to specifically model other synths. An image of the synth to be modeled would appear on
the screen with lines connecting the knobs you see to the parameters in the image. A Minimoog was frequently shown.via Audio Lemon via electro-music.com.
