"The CMU-810 is a module similar to the SH-101, they share many functions and have a similar character, but the CMU has a bassier oscillator and a slightly sharper envelope, this is my opinion after playing with both units first hand. Both units use the CEM 3340 oscillator and the famous Roland IR309 filter... It's a perfect match to an analogue sequencer or as an expander to a SH-101 or just to use with a MIDI-CV as it's very compact!"

Velotone - bicycle powered sequencer/synth

YouTube via thenervoussquirrel — April 26, 2010 — "This was made for Paddy Austin, who organises bicycle-powered club nights where all of the lights and sounds are generated by pedal power.

A magnet attached to the rear wheel passes a reed switch, which sends a pulse to an 8-stage sequencer mounted on the handlebars. Depending on the speed of the cyclist, the sequencer plays 8 tunable oscillators, and also controls a Coron DS-7 drum machine.

Paddy and Charlie sent me the video - thanks very much! Visit their website:
