YouTube via synthdood — June 15, 2010 — "This is a jam I was playing with on sat. This is my DIY euro modular, I built almost everything in this box. I am using a Teezer TZ VCO, a dual 8038 VCO (pcb designed by Fonik), a Threeler VCF, two CGS/Serge VCS, an MFB sequencer, CGS DC mixer, three MFOS quantizers, and a Blacet Digital Pattern Generator. I am using the LT trigger output from the tr-606 to clock the MFB sequencer. I will post the MP3 soon."

For those not familiar with the Vuvuzela, it's a plastic horn that has become the signature sound of this year's World Cup in South Africa. Via Wikipedia: "Vuvuzelas have also been blamed for drowning the sound and atmosphere of football games.[8][9] Commentators have described the sound as "annoying" and "satanic"[10] and compared it with "a stampede of noisy elephants",[11] "a deafening swarm of locusts",[12] "a goat on the way to slaughter",[13] and "a giant hive full of very angry bees".[14]
The sound level of the instrument has been measured at 127 decibels[15][4] contributing to football matches with dangerously high sound pressure levels for unprotected ears.[16] A new model, however, announced on 14 June 2010, has a modified mouthpiece which is claimed to reduce the volume by 20 dB.[15]"
Simply put some people love it, most seem to hate it. I remember having one of these when I was a kid in Los Angeles of all places, so it wasn't just a South African thing. Wish I had a Mini back then instead. :)

YouTube via sonicstate — June 15, 2010 — P"lease leave any questions for the review below [on YouTube] and we'll try and address them in the full review. Arrived literally an hour ago, the Dave Smith Mopho Keyboard adds more control to the single voice analog synth. It shares the same architecture as the Tetra and the Mopho module. Please comment"
