Audible Disease Synth Bomb SB-1

via this Analogue Haven auction

"the audible disease synth bomb sb-1 is a simple yet fun to use hand-held monophonic synthesizer that produces an almost boundless array of sounds! just plug it in and you're ready to start making some severe noise. the sb-1 incorporates four square-wave oscillators running in parallel. the frequency of each oscillator can be controlled by how much light is hitting each of the four photo-eyes... the more light that hits the photo-eye the higher the frequency of that oscillator. cover the photo-eyes with your fingers for a virtually endless palate of sound! oh, did we mention that this thing is loud? well, it is!

operates with a 9-volt battery only. plug a 1/4 inch cable into the jack to turn on the unit."

Elektron machinedrum SPS 1 UW triggering boss SYB 5 bass synthesizer pedal

"Elektron Machinedrum SPS-1 UW GND-SN machine triggering BOSS SYB-5 bass synthesizer pedal. The GND-SN machine routed to an individual out to Boss SYB-5 to INP-EA machine for filtering.
Just realized that the first few minutes had that stupid delay on.
All other sounds are machinedrum GND-SN sine machines!
At the time of recording I was first time trying out the pedal, only discovering the possibilities.
The video is to show what kind of sounds you can get triggering the SYB-5 with a GND-SN and was put into an electronic context.
Not a musical statement.
The video was shot with a Nokia N95, the sound quality is far from amazing.

Gakken SX-150 sequenced via Novation BassStation

YouTube via thelefthandedheroes
"The Gakken SX-150 stylus gets the CV and GATE information from the ribbon-like slider pad. I just connected the Novation BassStation Rack CV and GATE out to the stylus and voilà! - have my MIDI controlled Gakken. The cheapest way to do this is to cut a patch cable in half, took the plastic bits off the wire coming from the tips of the jacks, roll them together and stick the Gakken's stylus into. You may notice that it only works if the BassStation's CV type set to '00' (Roland/Sequential/Arp) - because of the voltage and plug the Gakken SX's out to a mixer rather than using the built in speaker - this is needed as the ground.

I believe this works with other MIDI-to-CV converters too. This video is to show that it works, not a musical statement. Have fun!"

"This lovely piece of equipment was in my posession briefly as its current minder is a friend of mine. One of the VCOs had died and I fixed it in exchange for being able to play with it for a few weeks"
