"Its a big one"

"# SuONOIO (italian , suono io = i make sound)
# Alessandro Cortini and Scott Jaeger (The Harvestman) have collaborated to create a fully functional, highly featured and fun synthesizer called the SuONOIO. The SuONOIO utilizes sounds found on the SONOIO album and allows you to reshape them into new sounds, rhythms, textures and drones!
# The SuONOIO is highly portable thanks to its battery powered operation and built-in speaker. In addition to the immediate feedback of the built-in speaker, SuONOIO features a 1/4" output that makes it easy to be integrated with your favorite pedals, processors, amplifiers and more. Multiple SuONOIOs can be patched together if you decide to become a shut in or a professional concert SuONOIO-ist.
# Main Features:
2 Sample Players with access to Sample Banks and Pitch Control, 16 Point Patchable System For Routing Simple to Complex Signal Chains, Internal Delay Effect, 6 Knobs for Ultimate Tweaking Pleasure, Mini Patch Cords, 1/4" Output, Integrated Speaker, Battery Operated, Multiple SuONOIO Compatibility"

Drum Pads for the homemade drum synth

"I finished these "drum pads" quite some time ago...never did do an update.
This is the Thomas Henry designed Quad Bass++ drum voice board and some "Leapfrog Alphabet Drums" I hacked to use as drum pads.
I'm no drummer - this Vid will prove that.
I can blame the short wooden dowels that I stuck a grommet on the end for sticks....Which is the only reason I dare show this in public. "I was the aweful sticks maaaan!"

Andy Wig - An EML Diptych (Rhythmus 2)

"An improv that pairs two mainstays of my EML arsenal, the Electrocomp 101 semi-modular synth and the 200 modular synth, operating independently. Those two are periodically processed here by an OTO Machines Biscuit and an Electro- Harmonix Memory Man delay pedal."

Rhythmicon

Rhythmicon from Thomas Patteson on Vimeo.

"Ancestor of the Drum Machine: Leon Theremin's Rhythmicon
The Russian inventor Leon Theremin is best known for the eponymous instrument he created around 1919. But another invention of Theremin's is perhaps even more prophetic of later developments in electronic music: the Rhythmicon, produced in 1931 at the behest of the American composer Henry Cowell. This device allowed for the real-time generation of complex rhythmic patterns thought to be unperformable by humans. Each successive note on the keyboard triggered a division of the basic beat in whole number ratios: the second key beating twice for each basic beat, the third key beating three times, and so on.
This video shows the Russian scholar Andrey Smirnov demonstrating the how the Rhythmicon is played. The device shown in the video is likely the later version, developed in the 1960s and now housed in the Theremin Center in Moscow."

This brings me back to the post on why everyone should have a modular and this poll. I hope this happens.
