1960's Outer Limits Panel

via Gerard:

"I was at the Science Fiction Museum in Seattle today and saw this panel which is an original 'control panel' used in the 1960's Outer Limits TV series. The photo is perhaps not good enough quality for a post, but I do believe that this type of iconic childhood sci-fi image is what backs a lot of baby-boomer obsession with knob-a-holic analog synthesis. Just a thought!" Indeed and definitely worth a post. I'm curious what sound effects went along with the scenes that featured it and what used to create them.

Some synth spotting including an Electron Sid Station, Nord Stage, M-Audio controller and Roland SPD-S. Anyone ID what's to the left of the SPD-S at the very start, literally at 0:00?

"Here's the Pittsburgh ViLFO (voltage-influenced LFO). In this video the ViLFO is modulating the pitch of an Analogue Systems rs95e oscillator. The ViLFO is being modulated by a pair of Bananalogue Serge VCS modules. We're creating a three-way modulation loop with the ViLFO which can yield some really nice results."

Roland MC-202 with Original Bag

via this auction

"The unit is 100% functional and aside from the buttons being slightly discolored it is in nice cosmetic condition. May have been in a smoker's studio at some point but doesn't smell like smoke or have any residue or scratchy pots."

Interesting colors on this one. Click on the images for larger shots. Note the greenish buttons.
