TECHNICS SX K 700

via this auction

"Heavy duty steel chassis, pcm technology, with efects, drums, 128 patches, aftertouch (a must have), and built in sequencer. Not at all bad for 1985"

I'm guessing there's no extensive synth editing on this one. If anyone knows, feel free to comment or let me know. My contact info is on the bottom right of the site. Note Technics actually did create a couple of full blown synthesizers, the WSA1 and the SY-1010. You can find both in the archives via the Technics label below.

Update via MiK in the comments: "Just added the repair photos to my page about this thing - which is still quite imcomplete."

chromedecay studio look: TouchOSC with Ableton Live and BigSeq from chromedecay on Vimeo.
"This video demonstrates using TouchOSC, OSCulator, Ableton Live and AudioDamage's BigSeq plugin. TouchOSC is an interactive control surface that outputs OSC messages, which can then be converted to MIDI notes and CC data by OSCulator and other programs.

In this video, check out how much fun it is to control BigSeq with TouchOSC!

Technical Information:

Screen recording was done with iShowU HD. This is my first time using it, and I'm quite pleased so far.

shinywhitebox.com/ishowuhd/main.html

The audio recording during the screen recording wasn't so good because I was using the MacBook's built-in mic. Attempts to get my external Firewire audio interface routed into iShowU HD through Soundflower were unsuccessful at first, but I'll make sure I get that working for future videos.

The iPod Touch was recorded with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 camera."

Arduino 4 step sequencer (worst looking sequencer ever!!!!!)

YouTube via mancio1
"card board box sequenxer.
Made with an Arduino Diecimila and 4 pots.... I need an analog mux to expand it to 8 steps plus speed!
Really fun to play with arduino. I'm going to make a cheap 8 step seq to play with my modular stuff. The seq is midi but i have some D/A to make it V/oct and multi output.
Enjoy the video!!"

GorF Schematics

via Paul Maddox on the SDIY list:

"Ladies and Gents,

I've uploaded the schematics for GorF, and explained some of the extra bits on there ;-
http://blog.vacoloco.com/?p=125

I've also designed and ordered a prototype PCB for GorF ;-
http://blog.vacoloco.com/?p=122

As much as I like Eagle, I find the the 100mm by 80mm board size limit really annoying. And yes there's the "non profit" version which gives 160mm by 100mm and whilst that would be fine for GorF the other projects I'm working on require a board length of around 240mm by 100mm. and I certainly can't afford the 1200UKP for the full version of the software. It's a crying shame there's nothing in between the 160mm and 'anysize' limits, in terms of cost (The standard version only offers 160mm by 100mm board size limit).

So this board is a little on the 'cramped' side of life. Can anyone recommend any other PCB tools that aren't silly money or have silly board size limits?

Paul"

Roland SH-2 Demo

via sizzlemeister:
"Not too many SH-2 demos out there, so here's something I made using the SH-2 for all of the sounds including drums.

shhhh_192.mp3

The usual effects apply, like compression, reverb, delay. Most of the latter are free plugs, except some of the delay which is an AD202."
