Click here for the original site in Japanese. Click here for it in Googlish.

"AC303 is TB303 the source clone MIDI equipped with your own DIY kit. Part of the original source is the same circuitry and components * using the analog unique and powerful dynamics of ACCENT
A SLIDE to fully reproduce and TB303 distinctive sound from the thick slices of resonance for me is ACID sound system, TB303 original sound can be obtained."

"Some quick filter-drive sounds from the Blofeld, rectified, clipped, sine shaped, also some squaring introduced with the modwheel, some overflow from aftertouch and, hmm, don't remember the name of the other drive curves ;) drums from Spectrasonics Stylus"

"the old e-mu modular analog synthesizer you can see in the background was originally captured visually by fr1zz. I decided to experiment with it by connecting it directly to my brain, added a little bit of hirnspray and ..tada!"

Update: You can find krischall's website here. Note it is in German. You can find the Googlish version here.

"The Tenori-On is a great instrument, but if you work with Ableton Live, you need additional software, wich makes it possible to control filters or to be in sync with the internal Midi-clock of the computer. This software is the "tenori-on helper 0.952" and is a Max/msp-patch i wrote. You find it on my weblog http://pyrolator.blogspot.com/ "
