follow-up to this post
"I thought I would do another demo of Xylo since the instrument is now starting to take shape. It's by no means finished but I have a better idea of what it's going to be.
This demo shows the instrument in action and explains the controls and how they work with the voices.
I plan to add something for handling multiple samples, definitely a reverb, and maybe a resonator too. Suggestions also welcome so please drop me a comment!"
Raymond Scott - Soothing Sounds For Babies
via wikipedia:
"Soothing Sounds for Baby (1964) is a three-volume set of ambient electronic music by American composer, musician, and inventor Raymond Scott. Scott originally intended to lull infants to sleep with the music, but later generations have found value in the music for its minimalist aspects, often comparing it to the works of Brian Eno, Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream despite having predated such artists by more than a decade.
Originally released in collaboration with the Gesell Institute of Human Development[1], the volumes are split up into three age groups: Volume 1 is 1 to 6 months; Volume 2 is 6 to 12 months; and Volume 3 is 12 to 18 months. The music gets more complex with each volume. Scott created much of the music on the albums with instruments he created, such as the Electronium and the Clavivox. "Particularly on Soothing Sounds for Baby, Scott proved to be one of the first composers to merge the Brave New World of electronic sounds with a rhythmic pop sensibility."[2] Basta Music of Holland released the albums as a 3-CD set in 1997[2]."
Surprisingly you can currently find copies on eBay here.

Update: Per above I was surprised to see these on eBay. It turns out these are re-issues. Via Jeff E. Winner in the comments: "We issued CDs of all 3 volumes in 1997 — which are still in-print & selling very well — and these vinyl LPs, also still in-print. We have a 3-LP vinyl version of our MANHATTAN RESEARCH INC. compilation too (but it doesn't include the amazing, 144-page hardcover, full-color book):" link

Replaced the original fixed power connector with an IEC port (IEC cable is included)
Brass plated guitar strap pegs installed for use as a Keytar (Guitar strap included)
Audio in mod. This is tapped into the "synthe 2" circuit before the ADSR and VCF. Allows audio signals to be processed though the Famous KORG35 filters (the same filters used in the MS20 and MS10! Gate Trig/Hold switch (Allows audio in to pass through filters when used to process audio signals and allows you to hold notes in synth mode)
Replaced original red power LED with bright Blue LED (Strobes in time with the LFO)
Fitted red LED strip under the keys (Strobes in time with the LFO)"
Arp Minus Noise Mixer Test w HS-60 and TR-707

"Just a quick test of the rare Arp Minus Noise Mixer. Has on board spring reverb, eq, and noise filter. Really cool. Audio is way out of sync for some reason, will fix that soon."
via this auction
"Features 8 Channels with 3 switchable levels of preamp gain (0, 20, and 40db). Each has 1/4" and XLR inputs, with rugged switchcraft jacks. Each channel has EQ in the form of Bass and Treble. The adjustments can be quite drastic and I really like the added bass it can give you. There is a Dry/Wet control for the onboard spring Reverb on each channel as well.
The master section controls the main outs (a pair of xlr and 1/4" on the back). It has master gain, eq, effect level, and noise gate. The master eq gives the Low Freq a +10db boost, and the Hi Freq a +6db boost. The Noise gate actually works quite well. There is a built in spring reverb, but you can bypass it on the back by using the send/return to add an effect of your choose. There is also a mono monitor output and a stacking input on the back (I guess for linking mixers)." "Arp Minus Noise Mixer Model 1713 for Synth
