"In this video I'm comparing a x0xsh0p unit to a Mode Machines unit and point out the differences in sound. I can't tell whether the devices I have sound typical for their companies or not, but what I can definitely say is that there's a huge (!) difference in sound. I'm not trying to judge on them because I think they both sound great and they both sound like TB-303s to me. If you own an original unit and watch this video and you're thinking: "Neither of them sound like an original at all" please let me remind you that the one you have could sound way different from the original that someone else has. Enjoy and please rate and comment on this video I would really like to know what you think about these boxes. Which one do you prefer and why? Thanks a lot for watching!"

"Circuit-bent toy. Uses a rotary switch (top) to select between eight different digital samples of motorcycle sounds. There's a pitch knob (lower right), volume knob (lower left) and two body contacts (bottom) to add modulation and pitch bending. Light-up arcade button closes the circuit and triggers the sounds. 1/8" audio out. Runs on 3 AAA batteries, easily replaceable. Case is custom-made 1/4" and 1/8" acrylic."

Conrad Tao: "iridescence," for piano and iPad - From 'Voyages'
Published on May 6, 2013 - Warner Classics
"Pre-order the album at http://www.smarturl.it/ConradTaoVoyages
For more info visit http://www.conradtao.com/
This ground-breaking composition, from 18-year-old American pianist/composer Conrad Tao' debut full-length album Voyages, features Conrad using the Reactable Mobile app on his Apple iPad, incorporating both synth lines and real-time processing of his piano playing, via the iPad microphone. Conrad describes the piece as being inspired by the phenomenon of "fractured light, that appears differently depending on what angle you look at it from," while also incorporating the concept of modern technology and its ever-changing development.
Conrad was listed in Forbes' 30 under 30 list of noteworthy musicians in 2011 (the only classical musician featured), and hailed by renowned music critic Harris Goldsmith as "the most exciting prodigy to ever come my way" (Musical America).

Vintage Custom "Yamaha" Rack DIY MIDI Synth?
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction

"This auction is for a Vintage Custom Rackmount MIDI Synthesizer/Sampler Sound Module. It appears to be a custom rack mount creation from parts of a vintage 80's Yamaha Synthesizer, not sure which one. Photos of internals should help any synth geeks out there. If anyone has any idea, please submit your thoughts and we will post."
Anyone guess what this is? Pics of the inside below and more at the auction. Labels on the circuit board read "Symphonic Modulator", "Filter EXP & Noise Gate", "H.P Amp & Muting". Not seeing Yamaha anywhere.
Update via kid verses chemical in the comments: "the controls are from a CE20, so I am guessing it is one of those." "Also, the symphonic modulator was a ce20 feaature, so that pretty much seals the deal."

Jennings Univox - 50's Valve monophonic 'synthesizer'
via this auction
"This instrument was pretty much the first electronic venture for Tom Jennings who later went on to create Vox amplifiers AC15, AC30 etc. The Univox was used by the Beatles during their early Cavern days in Liverpool and can be heard on Telstar by the Tornados.
It's all valve, featuring a quartet of 12X7's for tone generation. Reed switches apply 'additive' filters, and octave effects. Separate power amp and speaker are housed in the case & amplification is via a 6L6. The keyboard packs away into the amplifier case, and the whole lot is portable as a single unit.
This example includes the rather hard to find knee volume lever.
It's in full working order with the exception of the vibrato which I just cannot fathom! Shouldn't pose a particular problem for a proper technician.
Don't expect it to play in tune, and be prepared for warm-up wailing!
The instrument is over 60 years old and is in pretty good cosmetic condition considering.
There's a lot of information about the Jennings Univox on with web, for example:
