"Teletrons make music with the mind! Theatre Intangible presents Brainwaves, a live experimental improv at Gallery F on August 27th as part of the opening reception for Figure 1: Scientists and Artist Picture the Intangible. Ken Soper and Dylan Simon control Moog and other synths with two Teletrons, a MindFlex children's toy hacked to turn Theta waves into control voltage. Engineered by Tony Youngblood. This project was Inspired by Robert Schneider's original MindFlex hack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZ0So3q9cT0"

Roland TR909 Quad Mod

YouTube Uploaded by sequentix on Nov 30, 2010

"Demo of a TR909 with a quad memory expansion.
I fitted a 32k FRAM chip in place of the original 8k SRAM, so no battery is needed either.
A rotary selector switch chooses which of four banks of 8k the 909 sees.
I was worried it might crash if the switch was moved without powering-off, but as it turns out, you can change bank mid-pattern and it doesn't miss a beat.

NB Modifying a 909 CPU board is not recommended unless you know exactly what you're doing. The RAM and ROM chips are soldered to the PCB, which has very delicate tracks and through hole plating. There is no space to use a socket.
You can easily damage the board.
If you *do* know what you're doing, a 32k SRAM will fit in an 8k's place with minor changes. The rotary switch selects the 4 possible combinations of the 2 extra address lines with the help of some diodes and pull-up resistors.
FRAM needs CE toggled on every access, which the 909 circuit doesn't do. You need to hack the ALE line into a spare select line on the address decoder to make it work. A 32k battery-backed SRAM wouldn't need that."

Genome Sequencer + Ms2000 + Kp3

Watch your volume levels on this one. It's a bit distorted but gives a good example of Genome being used with other gear.
"Messing around for the 2nd time with the Genome Sequencer app. I realized as I was recording this that the the CCs also get quantized if you have quantization on. I just rolled with it. Very cool app, just need to figure out a few things"

"Here is a practically new Crumar DS-50 Dynamic Piano. It's basically a velocity-sensitive analog piano with two inline analog filters with resonance. That's one on Radiohead's "Everything In It's Right Place" or so I have read on the Internet."

HG Pulse Control VSTi Demos - Waldorf Pulse Editor

The important thing to take away here is the extra functionality added to this editor not available directly on the Pulse, specifically the sequencer. It would be interesting to see additional controllers like this built into editors for the iPad like TouchOSC, MIDI Touch and S1MIDI Trigger. Currently you'd need two iPads and a MIDI merger to mix a sequencer and editor together for similar control of your synths.

Picopaso analog synth from Bleep Labs - DIY project

YouTube Uploaded by gdoodle on Jul 3, 2010
"Built this synth from a kit. Double oscillator analog synthesizer with two optical modulators (that's just a photoresistor so you can get a photo theremin effect.) Still figuring out an enclosure. From Bleep Labs (same geniuses who brought you thingamagoop and bleepblob). Wife does not like us doing it near the hamster - long term effects on rodents are subject of further research."
