From the auction:
"This is an original BLACET EVENT SEQUENCER. I collect and repair/restore vintage Paia Synth stuff and have no need for this panel. (It was included in a PAIA equipment auction) I do not know if it functions and is being sold as a DIY restoration project. This implies that it is sold as-is without return. Further technical information regarding this module can be obtained from the BLACET synth web site."

I took a look and found the Event Arranger DIY project written by John Blacet for Synapse on this page. BTW, you can find full scans of Synapse on Cynthia's website here.

Note the blue is the Blacet, the silver is PAiA.

"He lovely Synthfreaks, I have a new track in my head. Sorry , I don`t be no profiplayer but I have much fun with the best Instruments of the world. I am searching for an EMS VCS 3 or an EMS Synthi A. I love this mashines. I work with Synthesizers.com, Minimoog, Synton Syrinx, Moog Prodigy and V-Synth from Roland. The effects comes from my little baby "Doepfer Dark Energie" and the Roland Juno 60."

Quad Bass ++ (Plus Lunetta)

YouTube via bchris1776

"I just got done building this drum machine - and this is one of the first patches I've done with it.
In the video I'm experimenting as I go -so you are watching my learning curve...

The Thomas Henry design "Bass ++" circuit is being sequenced by CMOS logic - Shift registers and counters to create the beats - and to provide control voltages through an R/2R ladder (a sort-of basic digital to analog converter) to change the pitch of the drums. I expect to be able to create very complex, not quite random beats with this in time... and of course simple beats are....simple.
The "Quad Bass ++" board is available through Electro-Music.com in the DIY forum.

Tristan Perich - Interval Studies, Sound Tool 2010

YouTube via MediaArtTube
"Interval Studies is a formal look at musical intervals as a dense continuum of microtonal pitch, expressed en masse as discrete 1-bit frequencies distributed across hundreds of individual speakers.

Troika - Cloud, Kinetic Sculpture 2008

YouTube via MediaArtTube

"'Troika was commissioned by Artwise Curators to create a signature piece for the entrance of the new British Airways luxury lounges in Heathrow Terminal 5.

In response, we created 'Cloud', a five meter long digital sculpture whose surface is covered with 4638 flip-dots that can be individually addressed by a computer to animate the entire skin of the sculpture. Flip-dots were conventionally used in the 70s and 80s to create signs in train-stations and airports. By audibly flipping between black and silver, the flip-dots create mesmerizing waves as they chase across the surface of Cloud. Reflecting its surrounding colours, the mechanical mass is transformed into an organic form that appears to come alive, shimmering and flirting with the onlookers that pass by.

The sculpture is located in Terminal 5 in the atrium hall that leads to the British Airways First Class Lounges. The brief from British Airways was open and simple: create a signature piece that marks the entrance to the First Class Lounges and signifies the transition between the busy shopping floor and the calm and serenity of the lounges. Working from the idea of clouds and the contrast between the busy, hectic airport experience and the calm, luminous and ethereal world that we discover as we fly through this dense layer we came up with the basic metaphor, atmosphere and form of the installation. Another one of our inspirations came from the old electromagnetic flip-dots that were used in railway and airport signs from the mid 70s. Those signs, with their characteristic flicking noise that instantly invokes the idea of travel, represent to us a golden age of technology when analogue and digital started to merge. The indicators, dots that flip from one side to the other with an electric impulse have a fantastic materiality, a physical and tactile quality that more modern technologies often lack, being de-materialised into the virtual.

We dreamt of applying this redundant technology to our sculpture, to create a sort of living organism, a cloud that we could animate, exploring the aesthetic potential of the flip-dots. As the flip-dots flick we are instantly reminded of rippling water, of the mesmerizing movements of snakes and school of fish. For to accentuate this feeling we chose to create one side of the dots as silver mirrors emulating the organic movements of.' ( source: Troika web-site)
