"Designed for personal use, this electronic device sits neatly between your legs, more like a bongo, and reproduces magical beats when your hands strike its surface. With each strike, the surface produces lighted impressions of your hand to highlight the effect."
"Here we are again my friends. Yet another amazing amazing guest speaker to grace the city of Boston. Why sleep on this once in a lifetime experience?"
If anyone goes to this, report back. Rumor is Tom plans to come out with the SEM again - same design as the original. See this post for more detail.

"The Casio CZ-1000 was the second programmable Casio Synthesizer after the CZ-101. It is in fact the full key size version of the CZ-101. All other characteristics are similar. It uses the Phase distortion synthesis related to all other Casio CZ synthesizers models. It was also one of the first low cost multi-timbral synthesizers with normal sized keyboard."
Here we go! The all-new Modular Planner v1.1, which is a complete redesign of the (ancient?) original version, is now finally available. The most important changes are: - new design & improved usability (at least I hope so) - forum included - mostly MSIE-compatible - Google maps with dealer and manufacturer locations (to be extended, make suggestions!) - first multi-manifacturer version (thanks to all of you for your support) - exchange rates loaded directly from ECB - patch drawing engine (beta).
Enjoy it and feel free to link to it, report bugs and module updates, contribute images, patches & experience and make suggestions for further improvements!
"This is a brief tribute I made to the experimental work of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop who recently staged a performance in London, that I couldn't attend. All the sounds and loops originate from the BC8 synth, the Gakken SX-150 synth and the BugBrand Weevil synths. All the effects and processing is done with the Boss pedals. Oh yeah... and I did the whole thing 'upside down'." Throbbing Gristle. flickr pics here
Update: via this auction: "The Nothing Machine by Mr.Ugly. 2009.
This here is a homemade synthesizer of random proportions. The main control component is a single oscillator that feeds into 4 fine tuning oscillators. There is the option of switching between 4 pitch ranges from low to high, creating deep bass drones to high end computer sci-fi effects. Easy to control, impossible to predict. This is an almost entirely homemade synthesizer, so it is quite unique. Considering I didn't even copy the schematics after building this, there will only ever be this one made. A one-of-a kind! It has the following features:
-3 separate 1/4" output jacks -circuit bent delay pedal -operates on 9v power supply(not included) -1 main control oscillator -4 fine tuning oscillators -4 separate pitch range choices -5 glitch momentary push buttons -8 oscillation/glitch on/off toggle switches. -3 distortion/glitch effect knobs with on/off toggle switches"
