Selmer Clavioline (The Telstar Sound) Antique Synth

via this auction
"This could have been delivered by Doctor Who 5 minutes ago from 1958. A bit of a timewarp item, you don't find these very often, they are rare, few survived the gigging of the sixties, and when you do they are usually in bits with half the keyboard missing. This one is in pretty good shape for its 60 or so years of age, and yes every key on the keyboard works. The built in amplifier also functions perfectly.
The case is in great condition, and I do have the original handle which needs to be fitted by an leather craftsman. The clavioline could probably do with a service as the switches on the front which change the sounds and reverberations work, but but a couple of them do not change the sound at all. There is a lot of information about these on the internet. Most interestingly is the historic value. The clavioline was the worlds FIRST electronic synthesiser [not really]. No museum music department should be without one."

A Look at IMPROVISOR for Percussa's AuiodCubes



"IMPROVISOR is a new software application we’re working on for AudioCubes. The application is basically a simple lightweight sequencer, which lets you compose music in a “generative” way using the AudioCubes."

"EML 101 guts. The power supply is at farthest right, then the three main boards are numbers 1 thru 3, right to left: the expo amp board, the oscillator board, and the filter/VCA board. In this photo, the expo amp board has been detached from its standoffs for ease of access. The rear of the patching jacks can be seen across the top."

This one appears to have gone viral, currently at 625,530 views. I originally skipped it as it was more dj mashup than synth, but it is Novation and Fruity Loops.
"This is a little idea i've been playing around with to implement in my set, hope you like it.
