Moog Tribute at the Museum of Making Music

via the Museum of Making Music
"Beginning in September 2009, the Museum of Making Music—in collaboration with The Bob Moog Foundation—will present the first retrospective exhibition focusing on the life and vision of Dr. Robert Moog.

Featuring unpublished documents, archival photographs and correspondence, as well as key synthesizer prototypes, the exhibition will explore Dr. Moog’s vision and philosophy, as well as the creation and legacy of the Moog synthesizer. The exhibition will be supported by interactive audiovisual demonstrations and a “Concert and Conversation” series with Moog players and experts."

TB 303 x0xb0x WASP Overdrive partie1

YouTube via BIM0X. Be sure to watch the second and third vids if you like Daft Punk.
"Demo of the disto i've developed for TB303/x0xb0x.

This module use an Op Amp and LEDs. Remove capacitor C38 and put inside circuit. A potentiometer allows you to control the distorsion amount. Led blinks harder when sound is "arsch".
I had developed an "arscher" overdrive at first but there was no more expressivness with the knobs : it was fully overdriven all the time.
This one allows you to modulate the tone using Env Decay and Accent.

"You might think that Bill Holland's hands only look giant in comparison to the Korg nanoKEY controller, but did you know he could palm a basketball? He's still working on his windmill jam, but this Korg nanoKEY walkthrough sure is a slam dunk!

"This is used to store presets..."

Bottom shot for perspective. Note the small patch point connectors.

Update: Chad made an interesting point in the comments. "You can also brush your finger across the board while playing for cool little blips of sound as new connections are made between your finger and the board. :)"

Circuit bending a Buchla? A bit blasphemous but this would be one way to do it.

Update: if you haven't already, be sure to see these two videos of Charles Cohen for this technique [thanks to Wavedeform for the reminder in the comments]:

Charles Cohen Vs. Chrome Genie - 1/3/09 - Philadelphia

Update via Christian in the comments: "charles told me that alex, the guy who filmed the video asked if such a thing was possiable. charles had a blank card, whetted his fingers and voila. it had never occored to him before. charles uses both this technique and programed cards during performances: such as the one him and i will be giving on 3/4 at the rotunda (in phila). i'm playing the big buchla :)"
