AXIS keyboard for Bohlen-Pierce Scale

YouTube via miselaineeous

"C-Thru Music has lent me this keyboard, called the AXIS, for a few months, and I am rearranging the keys for the Bohlen-Pierce Scale, a macrotuning based on a 3/1 frequency ratio, divided by 13 equal steps. See http://www.ziaspace.com/elaine/BP for research on the BP Scale. This particular AXIS toured with the Lionel Richie Band on loan, went to me, and in two weeks I will be flying to Boston to give this AXIS to the Berklee College of Music, Synthesis Department - namely to Dr. Boulanger who will use it for his classes and for the new microtonal club. I teach Electronic Music at Scottsdale Community College. Come join the fun!"

Lio - Le Banana Split

Moog was in the label. I have no idea what Moog, but this one was just too bizarre not to post.
"I have completely re-recorded this track with
my synths. I've always loved this song so much.
It was an obsession.
My dream has finally come true...
Hope you like it as much as I do !

Update via SOMAX in the comments:
"Its a moog 3p,its the moog from Dan lacksman that was used on this track.
Dan Lacksman = telex
they also used had an Obx and polymoog in the studio, i have a pic from then with Lio in there studio."

New video description:
"This is the song that got me into synths when I was a kid.
What you hear is my own version.
Believe it or not, I have completely re-created this track from scratch. Spent countless hours on sequencing and sound design to make it perfect !
No samples used (except Lio's voice, which I have not yet managed to resynthesize...)"

Maplin Function Generator (Oscillator)

YouTube via isotopeofme
"I bought and assembled this Maplin function generator, which is a 4 waveform DCO with basic pitch control. The kit comes with buttons to control the pitch, but I wanted to see if I could apply constant rather than stepped control to the pitch of the output. As you can see in the video, by bridging the pins that I put in rather than the buttons, you can effect a smooth change across the oscillator's range in both directions.

These kits are amazing for beginning circuit bending. The sounds that you can eek out of this aren't that exciting in and of themselves, but combined with the "voice changer" (an LFO/pitch shifter/tremolo kit), and the crazy music generator (a primitive Theremin type kit) and a little ingenuity you can come up with some great circuit bending toys.

I plan to wire switches up to the pitch controls, on this one as well as a brush assembly to swipe across the IC pins to effect random change. Housed in a project box with the voice changer and a little bit of CV, I could have a useful effect box."
