"Here's a quick vid of part of the MacBeth Mk1 Modular Synthesizer System setup...note these modules are essentially flat- this means that they can be laid down horizontally! This was recorded direct- ie camera mic built in- so other noises included! Camera is Nikon D90- Lens is Sigma 10mm-20mm"
via this auction "The Ciat-Lonbarde Cocolase System dual 8 Bit Delay, a truly unique delay system not for the light of heart. I ordered this from Ciat-Lonbarde a few years ago, it's in great working order and in great shape. I know there aren't a lot of these floating around, you might say that they are extremely rare.
The Cocolase has two 8 bit digital delays, but it does not just delay sounds, it recontextualizes them in different pitches, directions, all broken up or all melded together. Each delay has sensing inputs to control its speed, direction, and location. In the center of the Cocolase is a woven nest of 8 oscillators called a Sidrassi. The Sidrassi manifests many varieties of movement with which to control the delays.
"HOW TO: Make basic connections from your AS Oberkorn Analogue Sequencer [www.analoguesolutions.com] to your synth using: CV, Gate, & Filter.
This video shows the basic connections one can make to begin developing the elements of a sequence. In this video, the Oberkorn is using its internal clock and sending gate information to both the analog modular (Roland 100m) and the SCI Pro One monosynth.
CV (Pitch) and Gate information are used to develop a bass sound which is then enhanced by filter control via an Oberkorn voltage out strip."

"The first Buchla Box, using touch-sensitive pads or ports rather than a standard keyboard, was funded with a $500 grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. Today it's permanently ensconced at Mills College. On a side note, Buchla estimates it would easily go for $30,000. Buchla still tackles new designs — he has a multichannel filter that can serve as a Vocoder coming out next month — and his instruments, it seems, "don't depreciate at all, so they're good investments."
'But I prefer to build them for playing.'"
