"Director Michael Bay and Producer Steven Speilberg return this summer for the third film in the Transformers franchise, Tranformers: Dark of the Moon. The amazing visual effects in this film are complimented by the talented efforts of the sound team including Re-recording Mixers Greg Russell and Jeff Haboush, and Supervising Sound Editor and Sound Designers Ethan Van der Ryn, and Erik Aadahl.

This is the first 3D film of the series and will also be presented in regular 2D, Real D 3D and IMAX, featuring Dolby Surround 7.1 sound.

The Harvestman – Evin 209 Matrix Mixer

via this auction

"Overview:
4x4 matrix mixer and bipolar feedback grid Evin 209 provides four different mixes of four signal inputs. Each output row can be switched between unipolar (zero to max) and bipolar (negative max to zero to positive max) mix behavior. The module is DC-coupled so that you may also mix control signals this way. An expansion header is also provided on the rear of the module. It currently connects to a m'79 Stilton Adaptor for true Feedback Console operation (the inputs and outputs of each module are normalled together, so a complex mix of a four-pedal feedback loop can be finely tuned). This header will also allow expansion with any other Feedback Console devices to be designed, such as VCAs or envelope extractors.

inputs and outputs:
Four inputs by four outputs matrix mixer Selectable unipolar or bipolar mix operation for each output group Expansion header for Stilton Adaptor +/-12V Doepfer-style power connector.

Measures and weight:
3U eurorack module
Panel size: 20HP"

"After seeing the guys over at circuitbenders.co.uk bend some of these older Akai samplers, I just had to bend one. CrustyPaul over there got me started off on the right foot. I made a couple more little tweaks and here's what it sounds like. Check out my website for more info and more circuit bent stuff.
