"It only comes with 10 patch pins unfortunately and a couple of those are a little on the wonky side. I spoke to Robin Wood from EMS and he can easily supply new ones. He also told me that he himself owned this VCS3 (Serial 327) between 1970 and 1971. Cool eh?

The Oscillator 1 pot slips from time to time, and there is a small crack in the VU meter cover. Apart from that its in really good nick. Obviously used but pretty good for its age."

Networking an Ensemble of Computers with MaxMSP and OSC

via Audio Cookbook where you'll find more detail and the patch.

"Recently in my class with Ali Momeni, we had an exercise surrounding the idea of a networked ensemble of computers. It turns out to be a fairly easy and effective technique. In a couple of hours we had fifteen computers all talking to each other by sending OSC messages over a wireless network."

Roland SH-32 Synthesizer

via this auction

I don't know why, but I always liked the look of this synth. The fact that Roland went with ARP-like sliders always intrigued me as well. Anyone know what other Roland gear had them? The Roland EF-303 and MC-09 PhraseLab come to mind.
