* (1) Gary Leuenberger Patches Demo CD - This has been transferred from a cassette tape. It is an audio tape that discusses, in detail, the best way to utilize Gary's Patch Guide per patch. It's noisy, has noticeable channel crosstalk and overloads at points. However, The CD provides very detailed examples of his famous patches, how to create them and, more importantly, how to play them. If you follow Gary's instruction, you will get a unique look at some ways, in which, Gary uses initial and aftertouch and how he puts the CS80's envelopes and ring modulator to good use.
* (1) Original Yamaha Factory Music Rest - One of the flush mounted flat head screws is missing. This will need to be replaced or other another fix created for the music rest to work properly.

External Input for special sub oscillator effects - It allows for modulation of the filter, oscillator or amplifier by line-level sources, such as external oscillators, rhythm boxes, or other "cyclic" electronic instruments. The input is high impedance,so it will not overload the external device. Sensitivity is adjustable with the External Level Control, but even at maximum sensitivity the input will not provide a discernable effect with mic-level or guitar pickup level signals." via adrien

One Million Users Sound Off with Smule's Ocarina

Fun bit of trivia:
"Today, at the Apple WWDC, Dr. Ge Wang will present “The Story of Smule, So Far” during a lunchtime session. During his talk, Dr. Wang, the cofounder and CTO of Smule, will announce that the Ocarina, the first app to transform the iPhone into an expressive musical wind instrument, has now more reached than 1 million users.

In fact, the millionth user downloaded Ocarina to an iPhone 3G, and connected to the Smule network from Japan. The user, who has nicknamed his / her Ocarina “Yuka”, (map) has listened to 58 snippets of performances from fellow Ocarina users around the world.

You can hear it here at: http://174.129.201.233/app/ocarina/render/C91/1BD1/yuka_2009-05-31_21-23-23_EA425.m4a


Ocarina, one of Apple’s all-time top 20 iPhone apps, has brought millions of people together across the globe. To date, more than 40 million performances have been observed and appreciated. A passionate Ocarina community has also formed and, using an online composition tool at smule.com, users have uploaded over 1,500 compositions for fellow Ocarina enthusiasts to learn and perform.

If you’d like to see the Ocarina in action, there are many clever, creative videos created by users and posted to YouTube, including http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhhtFAT2HqM"
