No not the modular or the vocoder. The little synth on the floor under the modular - the Minitmoog. This image was taken at the Synthorama synthesizer museum in Luterbach Switzerland.

Press release: Puremagnetik has released Vector - a sophisticated collection of Live Racks that turns Ableton Live 7 into a powerful wave sequencing instrument reminiscent of the legendary KORG Wavestation. Vector includes a library of wave sequences, attack transients and vector morphing as found on the original. Users can load up any of the 50 included patches and performances or create their own unique presets from the library of included waveforms.
Overview Enormous Sound Patch layering, wave sequencing and vector modulation all contribute to the huge epic sound of this sophisticated Micropak. Use the preset library of over 50 patches and performances or create your own sounds from the library of over 300 included waveforms.
Complete User Control All Vector Racks have been specially programmed for easy editing with limitless tweaking possibilities. Edit the most common parameters on the first layer of Macros or dig deeper into the rack for more fine tuned controls.
Endless Sound Design Possibilities Each patch and performance rack has been carefully programmed with unique settings that fully employ the vast potential of Ableton Live. Explore new sound design techniques within Vector's advanced array of sonic components.
Additional Features Include: • Nearly 500 single cycle and complex waveforms • Huge library of attack transients • Library of "Vector Envelopes" as Ableton Live clips • Modular structure for creating huge layered performance patches • Collection of Wave Sequences
System Requirements • Requires Ableton Live 7 • 500 MB of physical RAM Please visit www.puremagnetik.com for more info.

Check out this video to see what goes into such a transformation, and get an idea of what kind of planning is involved in Nintendo manipulation.
YouTube via MusicmarketingCanada "An interview with Frederic Brun the President of Arturia on their new hardware synthesizer "Origin".
Origin is the first Arturia Hardware synthesizer. It is a modular system of a new generation opening innovative avenues in sound design. Loaded with modules extracted from the best synthesizers of all time (Moog Modular, ARP 2600, CS-80, minimoog and Prophet VS) Origin lets you combine these modules and benefit from the additional possibilities put onboard. The result: a new type of sound accessible through an extremely intuitive interface."
"there is a Waldorf WAVE shown in the new GarageBand version for the Mac OS 10.5."
Update via Qwave in the comments: "One might notice the missing disk drive. And the label above the mixer section (just left of the gray center section) is missing like on most WAVEs.
My 15 year old son found the WAVE in the GarageBand software on his Mac. And he told me about it. He knows the look of a WAVE, because he saw mine so many times.
There is also a Minimoog in the new GarageBand version. Another synth my son is able to name. Here is a snapshot done by my son showing the Minimoog: http://www.till-kopper.de/Minimoog@GarageBand.png"
Update: some more info directly from the source: "'Ohm' is a series of electronic lo-fi noise boxes/recorders made with laser cut grey cardboard. the interface and the inner circuits are printed with a special conductive paint. by touching the printed surface the user can modify the sound in different ways.
My new noisemaker is my final industrial design studies project. this project was directed by designer barak asher during 2008 , shenkar college of design, Israel.
