via Vacoloco GorF is getting closer. "I actually finished the PCB layout a week ago, but I’ve been letting it sit and making minor changes as I go, little things like part numbers, moving things around etc. I think it’s now pretty much final, so next week after I’ve been paid, I”m going to order 50 of these and see how we go with them."
"Acidlab Miami made with the internal sequencer of the machine. The second mp3 is a bit "on the limit" sometimes, but it shows very good the tap-in mode and the different shuffle modes of the Miami. I include also a new outline of the overprint from the Miami. This is maybe not the final version." mp3s here along with the prior demo from this post. Tip: search on acidlab miami on the top left of the site for all posts leading up to this one.

via John Levin "I took a vacation from pastoral Vermont to go to NYC last weekend. While hanging out in Williamsburg in Brooklyn, I walked into one hipster shop and saw a new Gakken theremin! I've seen it online for as low as 155 bucks."
I did a quick search and found it on Theremin World. It's the Theremin Premium. I also found some listed on Ebay. Gakken is a Japanese magazine that usually includes a DIY kit in every issue. You might remember the older Gakken Theremin from these posts. Gakken also makes the SX-150.

Video description: "Written for the early electronic instrument, the Ondes Martenot (above), Olivier Messiaen's "Oriason" is a beautifully mellow and plaintive piece of music. The Ondes Martenot is a close relation of the theremin, and like the theremin was frequently used (and abused) on sci-fi film and tv soundtracks throughout the 40's, 50's and 60's, but also gained a foothold in many "serious" orchestras. I first heard "Oriason" on the box set "Ohm;The Early Gurus of Electronic Music", as recorded by Ensemble d'Ondes de Montreal. (From "Thespoiledmetropolis.blogspot.com")."
via Richard Lainhart on AH regarding the Ondes Martenot: "The whole instrument is monophonic, with one sound engine for both controllers (in other words, you can't play both at once.) The Ondes was the first electronic instrument with a direct vibrato keyboard that I know of - as you can see in the video, the whole keybed shifts laterally slightly when he vibrates his hand.
Messiaen is one of my favorite composers, and he wrote a lot of music for the Ondes. There are a series of "Feuillet Inedit" works for Ondes and piano, of which the video is one, that are quite lovely, and he also wrote a suite of pieces for 6 Ondes Martenot called "Fete des Belle Eaux" that is just stunning. One of the works from that suite, "Oraison", is not only possibly the first piece of purely electronic music intended for performance, but also (IMO) one of the most beautiful pieces of electronic music ever. (I'm working on a transcription of that piece for Continuum and Buchla.)
The instrument shown in the image isn't an Ondes, though."

YouTube via DeathByDinSync "Analog monster, Roland SH-7 sequenced by an SH-101 that's synced/triggered by Ableton Live using a Kenton Pro Solo gate out. The SH-7 is the only synth heard in this video... Ableton only provides the timing and looped drum beats.
"Vintage titan, the Roland SH-7 controlled by the SH-101 via cv/gate. The 101's audio is also heard through the SH-7 Ext input. Expect more SH-7 videos in a couple days..."
