YouTube via analogueak. follow-up to this post.
"Describing how I use a Roland piezo trigger and the ribbon controller to produce a gate signal. The gate output is sent to the gate input of the envelope. The envelope output is sent to the input of the amplifier, filter, and oscillator. Not trying to get to in depth. pew pew pew."

"Short demo performance on the BoardWeevil from Bugbrand (bugbrand.co.uk). Live and unedited.
BoardWeevil is connected to a noise gate plus some slap-back echo but no other FX or processing is involved." "Think of it as a riff on the sound design for Hitchcock's 'The Birds'"

Folktek Arts Magnetic Sequencer

"This piece was a collaborative effort between Ben Houston and Arius Blaze. It has no sound generating capability whatsoever and was designed specifically to control external anything so long as it's patchable."

KORG MP-4 Mono Poly Analog Synthesizer

via this auction
"It has 4 Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO's). The possibilities with this synth are endless. It runs in Monophonic and Polyphonic modes. In poly mode, you can play up to 4 note chords simultaneously. The way the VCO's are controlled is by using the function buttons just above the keyboard. You can even play a chord and press the Chord Memory Button to play the entire chord, simply by pressing one note at a time. You can also use the Chord Memory along with the astounding Arpeggiator Function. The Arpeggiator is extremely versitile and can be controlled externally. The external control options are very huge. Take a look at the rear panel and you can see just how much control you can have with this thing."
