Buchla Lightning II

Title link takes you to some shots pulled via this auction. They aren't the greatest, but there you have it.

Details:
" LIGHTNING II is a specialized MIDI controller with built in tone generator that senses the position and movement of handheld wands and transforms this information to MIDI signals for expressive control of electronic musical instrumentation. In addition to functioning as a powerful MIDI controller, LIGHTNING II, with its self contained 32 voice synthesizer, comprises a complete, ready to play instrument.

The bulk of LIGHTNING II's electronics is housed in a half rack cabinet.

A remote head, designed to be mounted on a standard mike stand in front of a performer, contains optics and numeric displays.

Based on principles of optical triangulation, LIGHTNING gathers its information by tracking tiny infrared transmitters that are built into baton-like wands. Unencumbered by wires, these wands provide complete freedom of movement within a performance space that can be as large as 12 feet high by 20 feet wide.

Basically, LIGHTNING II senses the horizontal and vertical position of each hand, for a total of four independent coordinates. From this information, LIGHTNING's digital signal processor computes instantaneous velocity and acceleration, and performs detailed analysis of gesture. An easily mastered, musically oriented interface language allows the user to define relationships between various gestures and potential musical responses.

In one sort of implementation, LIGHTNING's coordinates might be mapped to various MIDI controllers on multiple channels. Spatial pitch wheels, pan pots, level sliders and modulation wheels are easily defined and great fun to play. Performance gestures can be analyzed for direction and velocity and can be used to generate a variety of notes as well as other musical events. Multi-dimensional zoning capability can be used to create different musical responses in different regions. Everything you need to create the conceptual ensemble (an invisible, acoustic virtual reality).

User definable scale and tuning tables allow one to determine the range and selection of notes occurring along a horizontal or vertical axis. Pitches can be in any order, and the boundaries can be set where ever desired, facilitating the creation of spatial instruments and imaginary orchestras.

LIGHTNING II features a conducting facility that can analyze a conductor's gestures, display deviations from a preset tempo, and signal errors such as missed beats. Simultaneously, LIGHTNING can transmit a synchronous MIDI clock for controlling external sequencers and output programmed note data to accompany specific beats within a measure.

To facilitate its use in conjunction with other controllers, LIGHTNING possesses intelligent MIDI merging capability. A complete system exclusive implementation enables LIGHTNING presets to be stored and edited via external computers and sequencers."

Virus TI Goldfilter

Yep....
"What if you had the chance to own the mother of all Viruses, an object of desire, bling bling enough to get you a record deal with Dr. Dre straight away? What if this one-off, special edition Virus TI Polar called Virus TI Goldfilter would make you as powerful as the keeper of the ring in Lord of the Rings? What if your fellow studio friends would circle around it and whisper "my precious"?

You will never know until you own it.

Dig out your video cams and prepare yourself to celebrate the Virus's 10th birthday. Film yourself reading a poem to your Virus by candlelight. Bungee jump from the Golden Gate Bridge wearing your ABBA revival costume, while toasting the 10th anniversary of the Virus. Put on your rocket-powered Rollerblades and shout out "Sniff my gas - I got infected!" as you blast through the keyboard section of your local music shop. OK - you might not want to do that - but we reckon you get the drift.

Send in a Video which shows you congratulating the Virus on its 10th anniversary, and you might be the lucky one who win's the Virus TI Goldfinger - the only one of it's kind. Yes, it's true - scary but true -"

Title link takes you there. Who ever gets this bling, I want pics!
