Taken at Ignite London

"Since 2006, hundreds of 5 minute talks have been given around the world. Mark your calendars for the first London, UK Ignite on Nov 18, 2009."

For those of you not familiar with Ignite, in short the are events where people can give a talk on a topic that interests them. Think smaller versions of TED Talks on more common every day things. There are different Ignites in different cities. For more info and a schedule check out Ignite on O'Reilly. That said, does anyone know more about this image and how it was referenced in the London Ignite?

Cluster Effect Pedals

I'm not seeing the Cosmos Vibe on site. Note the site is in Spanish and based on the domain name appears to be based out of Argentina. You can find a Googlish translation here.

Sherman Chaosbank

"Sherman Chaosbank only 9 ever made this is a sort of chaos generating oscillator bank, it can generate waveforms of many different shapes ,from awesome audio waveforms to crazy modulation sources . Works great with any modular synth setup or as a standalone noise generator."

AKAI VX600 Poly Analog Synthesizer

via this auction
"The VX600 is a unique and compact analog synthesizer produced by the sampler-meisters at Akai. It's a six-voice synth with two analog VCOs per voice. This will give you some pretty thick and rich analog bass, pads, strings and so on. A very flexible Modulation Matrix allows you to route waveforms from each of the VCOs through the various edit functions. There is a lowpass resonant filter, a highpass filter, two LFOs, three envelope generators, two external sound inputs and more.
The VX600's patch memory stores over 100 patches, each of which can contain key group splits, MIDI info and voice allocation. Add classic analog performance modes such as unison, stacked mono and a new six-part multitimbral mode and you've got yourself some thick and full analog sounds! Its MIDI implementation allows for seamless integration into any MIDI studio. Additionally, a dedicated connector jack allows direct connection to the EVI1000 and EWI1000 wind synthesizers and a 13-pin DIN connector gives six individual voice outputs."

this is an 80's style drum brain suitable for using with trigger pads(not included)

9 controls for each of the 8 channels(all with individual outputs)

volume,decay,bite,noise vco balance,sensitivity,noise,vco pitch,vco sweep and pan

stereo output and head phone jacks

but,it also has a built in sequencer(fairly basic but enough to get started),so you can play it without any pads.it will also work with any audio triggers(as long as they are loud enough)"

Roland MC-505 Synthesizer Groovebox w/ Blue LCD

via this auction

"cool new blue LCD (new LCDs are over $100 from Roland if you were to buy their part)... As you can see in the third picture, I had to repair some of the traces on the circuit board since the circuit board was cracked when I received it. I have been using it with the above repairs for 2 or 3 years with no problems and recently added the new LCD."
