Xoxos Circuit

"Circuit is a probability based MIDI sequencer that joins short phrases together to create natural feeling rhythms. Circuit is priced at $33. The demo is limited to 80bpm."

I saw this one on Sonic State and thought it looked interesting.

via Adam on the SDIY list.

"based on the first edition of the Ray Wilson WeirdSoundGenerator on Music From Outer Space, probably just enough room there to fit the extra mods for the newer version, oh and some flashing lights, it needs some of those too :)

Soon to be accompanied by a nice little pre-amp/speaker combo using same casing :)

the sharp eyed among you may notice the controller knobs are actually the sleeve from some of those gold coloured rca plugs, these are sandwiched against standard 6m pot shafts with mic cable outer sleeve to create a fairly tight fit ( which can also be glued with sealant for some extra security )

Advantages are: much cheaper than most metal based knobs, and a nice small size to fit in tighter spaces."

Iron Maiden Synth Bass

another shot via John.
"screen-shot from an Iron Maiden DVD, where Steve
Harris, the bassist of the band can be viewed with the Roland GR77B bass synth (it's essentially an JX8P synth) and the accompanied PG800 programmer. Well, that's how the story goes:
Iron Maiden used the Roland guitar/bass synths for their 1986 album 'Somewhere In Time'. Also, Adrian Smith, gitarist of the band used the Roland GR700 on stage with a modified Jackson guitar as the controller.
At the time, many people where suspicious of this move, as they were afraid that the band was "watering down" but in the album, the synths were used for background "washes", and many silky and soft pads were used, as an added colour to the twin-guitar sound of the band. For the subsequent tours, roadie of the band Michael Kenny, handled the keyboard duties (off-stage!) and also, being himself a keyboard freak, he was present at Martin Newcomb's "Synthesizer Technology" museum opening, at 1994! "

On a side note: Iron Maiden recently played at the Lost Angeles Forum. You can find an excellent review of the show on Amateur Chemist.
