"Have you ever thought you could move an object with the power of your mind? Now you can, as you control the Jedi training remote with only your thoughts. Jedi Master Yoda guides you through 15 levels of Force training as you develop your powers of concentration. Perhaps you will discover that you have the skills to reach the highest rank of Jedi Master."

"Some new technology available to us Nerds in a cheap and easy to exploit format.
I can't be the first to have thought of it but I'm surely the last who could pull it off.

Can one of you expert circuit benders get on taking this thing apart and letting us use our brains to send MIDI?"

Wiard 300 Series 352 Borg Filters

"300 SERIES DUAL MULTIMODE VCF/VCA VACTROL BASED MODULE

The Borg uses a completly new filter design using “Vactrol”-based electronics. There are two seperate filters in this module -- each implemented as a 2-pole multi-mode. They can be linked as a 4-pole, or used as two independent filters. The Vactrol circuitry provides a certain amount of slew, giving the filter a very woody and warm tone.

The Borg also contains two LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators). Low frequency might be a misnomer, since the oscillators will track to a 15 Khz audio rate. These two oscillators can be used for filter modulation, or for clocking of a Sequantizer, vibrato on a Classic VCO and wave sequencing of a Waveform City.
