Metalbox/CGS Programmer/Sequencer Test Drive

YouTube via OculoRapido

"Test drive of Metalbox/CGS 16 stage analog CV Programmer/Sequencer module, demonstrating random access to each stage and forward/backward sequencing. Original Catgirl Synth circuit design by Ken Stone, after a basic Serge sequencer. Performed on Blacet/Metalbox/Wiard/Cynthia modular analog synthesizer systems. Downsampled MP4 video converted from Sanyo HD1010 720p recording. Produced by Doktor Bob at Rapid Eye Soundlabs. Gratitude and respect to Michael Ford for designing and building all the brilliant blue Metalbox modules. Copyright 2009 Robert B. Trelease."

via Robert on the AH list:
"Michael Ford (Metalbox) has begun limited production of 8 and 16 stage versions of a classic Ken Stone Catgirl Synth design Programmer/Sequencer. Each version has 4 channels (A-D) of V/OCT CV outputs, up/down ('clock trigger') inputs, common pulse and all event outputs (for summed stage and pushbutton triggers), plus individual stage pulse inputs and outputs. The latter can be used to patch complex loops between stages. Each stage has a combination output LED and pushbutton switch, so stages can be triggered manually. Each channel (A-D) has an individual CV pot for each stage, so there's a tight/neat array of smoothly twisty knobs. http://www.metalbox.com/custom.html

According to Stone's familiar CGS documentation, he expanded on an original Serge sequencer design. http://www.cgs.synth.net/modules/cgs59_prog.html

Michael's Metalbox 16 stage version was custom built for me in a clean 'Wiard' blue anodized front aluminum chassis, 3" deep, 5U height, full width (19") rack mount, 1/8" jacks. Power was provided by a standard Blacet PS-500a connection through a custom DIN cable. As I recall, Michael said that the 16 channel version draws 250 mA."

A demo of "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" by Genesis and played on PianoStudio on an iPhone.

Featuring a unique and truly playable interface designed specifically for the iPhone, PianoStudio lets you compose and perform complex songs that are impossible to play with other apps that limit you to tiny keyboards with limited ranges.
PianoStudio is the first piano app for the iPhone and iPod touch that helps you explore musical ideas, learn songs, write your own tunes, and even play along with your iTunes music.
By placing individual notes, entire chords, and even complete musical phrases onto a set of buttons that you can arrange and play, you can write and perform real piano music with chord progressions, "two-handed" patterns, and melodies in Allegro, all right on your iPhone or iPod touch."
