Instruments include:

ARP 2600
Korg MS20
Oasys PCI
Roland TR606
Akai ASQ10
Korg ER1
Roland SH101
Moog Minimoog

This picture, also from his site, is now my desktop wallpaper.

Serge VCS

In via AH. Brandon Daniel just got a Searge VCS. Click here for a sample. He gave me the go ahead to post this. Thanks Brandon!

"My Bananalogue Serge VCS module arrived yesterday.

I don't have any real experience with actual Serge panels, so I can't
really compare it with a DSG, but the short impression is that this thing
rocks.

It seems most useful to me as a lin/log shaper or an LFO or EG with
lin/log shaping. I doubt I'll be using it as a simple slew much, it would
be a waste!

It's modulating the frequency of the model 15 osc and the lowpass/vca of a
doepfer lpg. All the various shapes of the modulation you're hearing are
coming in via external modulation of the slopes, and as you can hear it
happily heads into audio rates.

TONTO - New Flickr Shot

From Flickr:

"This is the legendary and mythical TONTO modular synth setup, owned by old school synth nerd / producer / tape op Malcolm Cecil. It was featured on alot of Stevie Wonder's best music, including the track, "Superstition". There are ARP, Oberheim, Serge and Moog modules in TONTO, and even some created by Malcolm, himself. If you are a synth geek, and you've never heard of TONTO, consider yourself a synth geek in training, and class is in session. It is rumoured by Malcolm himself that TONTO contains a very large amount of spare wire from an Apollo space shuttle."

Check out the words TONTO in the middle, above the keyboard.

Potential MIDI Controller?

Via Engadget. Now translate the output of that to MIDI and you'd be set. Imagine a handfull of these in different colors, bouncing around in a dark room modulating your sequence. : )

P.S. Click here to see different means of applying the same technique including just using your finger.

The original Roland TB303 and Roland TR909 software emulations have finally been put to rest. I remember when Rebirth first became available. Amazing times, then and now.

Update:

"In this tradition, Propellerhead Software offers the full version of ReBirth 2.0.1, and visitors can personally experience the phenomena of ReBirth and the legendary Roland Devices."
