<40 built. Sold mainly to Universities and radio stations, the most famous and overworked model belonged to the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and was the main synthesizer used throughout the 70s. Listen to their special showcase program “The Space Between”, the original Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy radio series or any John Pertwee vintage Dr. Who episodes."

"Moog is a trademark of Moog Music, Inc. Electro-Harmonix Effectology, Vol.19 "How to turn your guitar into a Moog synthesizer" By Bill Ruppert
Welcome to Electro-Harmonix's "Effectology" series, in which we create a remarkable collection of impossible sounds using just a regular guitar and EHX effect pedals! No keyboards, samplers or midi pickups were used.
In this episode I show how to turn a regular guitar into a Moog synthesizer! There is a demonstration of the famous recording Switched-on Bach and Emerson Lake and Palmer's classic synthesizer solo from the song 'Lucky Man". Both records featured the epic original Moog modular synthesizer."

"Software Klee Sequencer, version 2, controlling two Mutable Instruments synthesizers: on the left a Shruti-1 in a custom enclosure, and on the right, a Shruthi-1. No external processing or other synths - all sounds from the Shrut(h)i's, and all MIDI signals generated by the Software Klee.
"what is it:
a MIDI-enabled software recreation of the electro-music.com hardware Klee step sequencer - developed with the input of the sequencer's creators! Now with even more functionality in version 2!!
what are its features:
Includes virtually all major functions from the hardware Klee, and adds many new ones. New features in version 2 = new
• VST instrument hosting new
• Intelligently constrain output notes to scale (using Modal Object Library) new
• Output chord based on active root note - up to 6 notes in chord, plus root note new
• External pattern load via MIDI or audio input triggers new
• External MIDI controllers support via MIDI CC messages, with MIDI learn new
• Group A - Group B output new
• Convert active LEDs to active switches, for Groups A, B, or A and B new
• Reverse sequence direction new
• Built-in clock divide capability, now with additional options new
• MIDI output to any hardware or software synths
• Internal or MIDI clock control
• 10 preset slots for instant recall of parameters
• Presets can be saved to and loaded from disk
• Synchronous load - loading of pattern happens on clock pulses, and not in between
• Load on Play feature to allow for loading of pattern each time clock started
• MIDI-controllable baseline note
• Custom definable note range allows for alternative scales"
"Demonstration of the Scale and Chord features in version 2 of the Software Klee Step Sequencer. Demo uses 2 hosted VST plugins, also a version 2 feature."
Let me first say thanks to the geniuses at adafruit industries in the mighty USA for all there hard work in producing such a fantastic bass machine and there generosity in releasing it as open source. Please take the time to visit their web site and look at there awesome products. Also I would like to thank the Very clever guy who wrote sokkOS Your firmware rocks man!
So why should you buy a x0xb0x from me?
1 Each x0xb0x is hand built by myself and Pickle ( my wife ) here in sunny Sandy Bedfordshire England.
2 All the parts are NEW or NOS not removed and cleaned second hand shite.
3 All the parts are as specified by adafruit and Roland ( I have the Roland UK's official service engineers service manual )
The transistors the caps the IC's the FET's are all as per the original 303 manual ( Except the BA662a which is replaced with BA6110 )
Please note that i use the adafruit PCB as specified this is not a modified version to make the build cheaper or quicker.
All parts are sourced as per adafruit recommended suppliers ( Mouser RS Farnell Digikey )
"Rene finally arrived, we Philosophized briefly and then set him to work.
Rene is named after the French Philosopher and Mathematician Rene Descartes, and is a touch based sequencer for the Eurorack Modular format.
The patch used here after the unboxing and the install was as follows. Flame Tame Machine beat output to Rene X clock. Wogglebug regular clock out (red led) to Rene Y clock. Rene CV out to Z3000 mkI (sine) and Z3000 mkII (ramp) oscillators. Rene gate X to QMMG chnl. 1 for the Z3000 Sine. Rene gate Y to QMMG chnl. 4 for the Z3000 Ramp. QMMG channels to Format Jumbler and out to mixer as two channels."

"Slightly different patch and sequence. Flame Tame Machine beat output to Rene X clock. Wogglebug woggle clock out (yellow led) to Rene Y clock. Rene CV out to Z3000 mkI (sine) and Z3000 mkII (triangle) oscillators. Rene gate X to QMMG chnl. 1 for the Z3000 Sine. Rene gate Y to QMMG chnl. 4 for the Z3000 Ramp. QMMG channels to Format Jumbler and out to mixer as two channels.
This device is of exceptional quality and looks fantastic, cannot wait to dig in deeper to his capabilities. More to come with Rene."

"David Rokeby interacting with Very Nervous System in the Lentos Kunstmuseum during Ars Electronica 2009 (Linz, Austria) "The installation is a complex but quick feedback loop. The feedback is not simply 'negative' or 'positive', inhibitory or reinforcing; the loop is subject to constant transformation as the elements, human and computer, change in response to each other. The two interpenetrate, until the notion of control is lost and the relationship becomes encounter and involvement. The installation could be described as a sort of instrument that you play with your body but that implies a level of control which I am not particularly interested in. I am interested in creating a complex and resonant relationship between the interactor and the system." - David Rokeby More info: http://homepage.mac.com/davidrokeby/v..."
