"Syntecno TeeBee MkIII . Some people say it is the best TB 303 Clone ever made. Its Sound is amazing and thick. These were hand-made in Holland, and have been out of production for a long while now. The Original creator is still supporting them. This one has two fender guitar knobs instead of the stock knobs on the Tuning and Cutoff. They work as well or better than the Originals. In addition to being an Awesome analog TB 303 type instrument it has:

# Audio Input for filtering.
# Ms 20 style Ring Modulator built in.
# MIDI to CV Converter Built in with 4 CV/Gate outputs
# Aggressiveness control for the resonance
# 50 note or 100 controllers Sequencer
# MIDI IN / OUT / THRU & 2 MIDI merge
# SYNC OUT (which clocks to the MIDI so you can Sync your 606, 808, 303 or other SYNC gear to your MIDI gear)

# These were 1000$ New ~8 years ago, and based on their rarity, I would imagine the price would be a ton more than the asking price soon. It is a very useful tool with all the converters, and sounds it can produce."

Raymond Scott: The First 100 Years on BoingBoing

Cool to see something from our neck of the woods on Boing Boing. The following is just an excerpt. Be sure to check out the full post on Boing Boing for more.

"Since Scott couldn't hire the perfect musicians, he built them. From the 1940s thru the 1970s, Scott, whose recording studios doubled as science labs, worked increasingly with home-built techno sound generators. He's one of the great overlooked pioneers of electronica, with US patents to prove it. His 1963 Soothing Sounds for Baby series of repetitive, high-tech nap-inducers set the template for ambient music. In 1970, Motown founder Berry Gordy was so impressed with Scott's Electronium, an analog console that composed by artificial intelligence, that he commissioned a unit. Two years later, Gordy hired Scott at Motown-L.A., where the mad scientist toiled until 1977."

"When I was a child I loved music and wanted to play the piano. However, my family had no money to buy such an expensive instrument. As my father was an electronic hobbist, he started to build this electronic organ from scratch. It started with a simple one-transistor oscilator that produces a sawtooth like waveform, and just replicated such oscilator as many times as the keys he wanted. So this beauty has full polyphony, and each note has to be independently tuned by turning small trimpots. My grandfather also worked on the instrument shaping the keys and building the case, which are made of wood."

"KORG DS-10 一台で完結している楽曲です。普段、仕事ではacid music studioというソフトをサンプラー的に使ったり、同ソフトでmidiデータを作成したりするのですが、今回はそうしたソフトで作りこみは行わず、一発録りしてゆきました。但し、録音時にARIONのSAD-3というパチもんディレイをミキサーに咬ませ、センド・アンド・リターンさせています。結果、チープな音に近付いていると思います 。
