via this auction "This fascinating synth was produced back in the 70s, and its sound and feature set were no doubt quite sophisticated for its day. The PE 1000 has a number of presets, but the real fun begins when you stray from the path and start tweaking the synth patches in real time. A number of parameters are available, such as Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Waveform mode ; while these may seem fundamental and crude by today's standards, they are capable of some respectable sound mangling and warpage. This synth just oozes a 70s vibe, and has an organic character that is difficult to emulate in spite of its supposed simplicity."
I forgot about Remote Desktop for Windows in the iPad post. This image is via Citrix, however there are apps already available for the iPhone like Remote Desktop by MochaSoft (on iTunes here).

A contribution by Palle Dahlstedt to the Sounding December project, soundingdecember.com.
"Calder asked Duchamp, "What should I call these things." Duchamp replied, "Mobiles," this was a French pun, which meant motive and motion. Jean Paul Sartre described the mobile as," The mobile is a little private celebration, an object defined by its movement and having no other existence. A mobile does not suggest anything. It captures genuine living movements. Mobiles have no meaning, they are, that is all." (from articons.co.uk/calder.htm)""
