Pictured: TS-303 MK2 ACID SCREAMER
"Distortion effect designed for the TB-303. Where the original TS-303 was a variant of the infamous TS-808, with some adaptations to match the signal levels of the TB-303 and a few soundwise alterations, this MK2 version is a complete new design with possibilities never seen anywhere. From electronic design and mechanical construction point of view it is lightyears ahead of the previous one.

Features:
* 2 different operation modes: Distortion and overdrive
* Variable dynamics restoration: Every distortion effect has the same problem: Dynamics gets lost and everything sounds equally loud. Translated to the TB-303 this means that you lose accents. This dynamics restoration reconstructs the envelope of the original signal while maintaining the distorted sound. It can be gradually tuned from no restoration to the double of the original dynamic range.
* Frequency selective distortion: This gives the possibility to choose which part of the frequency spectrum gets the most distortion. Quite amazing how this enables to pick things out of the soup which were otherwise not audible.

Bottom shot:
"Mirage (found sitting exposed to the elements at a Los Angeles surplus place... bought for $15 dead, easily fixed) sitting atop Synclavier II (acquired for free from owner who no longer wanted it.) Ancient sonic wonderfulness, still useful."

Terje Winther - Live at Awakenings - 2

YouTube via filbyhyde22. Note the Formant modules on the top right.
Feel free to call out what else is in there.
"This clip shows the start of Terje's last piece recorded live at awakenings on 26-09-09. It shows how the piece is built up from nothing in the space of a couple of minutes, as Terje patches the system on the fly. Great stuff ! Also featured at the end of the clip is the now infamous 'chair incident'.
Who says electronic music is boring to watch ??
