Note the bottom shot is one individual voice board with encased modules for each filter, VCA and VCO. I'm not sure how many cards are in the GX1, but if you click through you will see an image showing them lined up. I counted 50 cards, but some appear to be different than others.

The LEO at the Museum of Making Music

"The LEO is substantial to say the least. It was developed by a guy named Don Lewis from the San Francisco area, and basically consists of a Hammond B-3, 4 Oberheim SEM's, 2 ARP 2600 modular units, 2 patch bays, Roland RE-201 and DC-50 for effects and a Revo speaker box w/ controller. Everything is encased in 1" thick acrylic and should never be moved by less than 6 people. It is, simultaneously, a work of exceptional ingenuity and unmitigated, cumbersome construction. It is, without question, the most obvious reason for the creation of MIDI." :)

Note the Museum of Making Music will be hosting a Moog exhibit (Moogseum) with The Bob Moog Foundation beginning September 2009. You can find previous posts on the Moogseum here.

Update: "The LEO is on permanent display here as well as a small selection of analog and digital synthesizers (Roland D-50, DX-7, Korg M-1). There are certain exhibits that are brought in on a temporary basis. The Moog Exhibit will be that kind of exhibit. But we also have 6 galleries of musical instruments dating all the way back to the late 1800s. All instruments are viewable to the public, but most are not playable. I will be consulting on a redesign of our Gallery 5 (The synth/80s room) after our current slide guitar exhibit is finished in April. I found out that our curator is housing several synths in an off-site warehouse including a WASP, a GNAT, and a SPIDER sequencer, a Synthi e, and a Korg Polysix just off the top of her head! So we're going to make the synth display shimmer in April."

"I mapped a subset of the sonome layout used on the Axis64 and Opal keyboards onto my monome. I learned part of the minuet in G (played in C, sorry) to demonstrate. See this: http://www.theshapeofmusic.com/note_p...
The note arrangement was invented by Peter Davies who is here on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/notepool2"
mnm arp drums

"This simple 2 bar pattern contains a BBOX track that I manipulate with a 2 step arpeggiator set as follows: SPD x6, MODE KEY, PLAY TRUE, RNGE 2OCT 0JMP 0 and AMP, FLT and LFO trigs all enabled.
Note that the two arp steps are represented by the first two (red and/or green) trig lights that I manipulate throughout the track. When the first trig is green the original trigs are playing in time with the music. When the second trig is green the "arpeggiated trigs" are being played.
If you only play the second trig (and not the first) you basically get only the arpeggiated trigs which are "off" from the original beat by whatever amount based on your arp settings. This allows you to temporarily create a funky fill or break beat that tosses the downbeat into the air temporarily.
If you pull the first trig back in after 2 beats then the listener can easily get back on track and you can keep the groove going. If you let the second trig play alone longer, however, you make things all the more confusing for the listener as the downbeat gets lost.
I start out demoing with the music, then play the beats without the music so you can hear the offset more easily. It takes some practice but this is a cool, simple, effective way to add some life into your drum tracks without programming fills manually, etc."
