"he uses some mc808 presets in Teo And Tea thats for shure"
Question on Touch to Remember: anyone know if there is a connection to CSS' Hot Hot Sex? The main riff sounds much the same, and the Apple iPod Touch commercial that features the track is an interesting play on "Touch." I'm curious if there is an actual connection there or just more of a coincidental similarity.

"It's always the same story... if you search the net a bit you'll discover that's the opposite. The MC-808 has presets developpeed by Jarre... he added thoses himself... "

Update via Jared in the comments:
"Oddly enough Jarre's name is omitted from the MC-808 list of programmers:

MBSID V2 experiments with Vintage Analog Treasures

click here for the thread on MIDIBox.org including more images and samples. "Today I got the possibility to check the new CV options with the rsf Kobol expanders of Francois (username "Polykobol") The MBSID controlled filter cutoff and oscillator frequency of only two expanders via Seppoman's AOUT_NG module. The gates are directly connected to J5 of the core. We only used two expanders, as it already was a lot of fun (ok, and I had no MPASM ready to recompile the firmware for different routings ;-))"

MIDIbox SEQ V3

"This MIDIbox SEQ V3 has been built by Francois Buat. The flat case is really great and especially very stable. It fits nicely with desktop synths like you can see in the last picture ;-)"

Gorgeous design.
