"According to the Workshop's site: 'in 2012 as part of thespace.org, an innovative new digital arts media service created in joint partnership between the BBC and the arts council the radiophonic workshop is being reborn'.
It continues: 'Instead of being confined to rooms full of equipment in Maida Vale studios in London, the new Radiophonic Workshop will instead be a virtual institution, visibly manifested as an online portal and forum for discussion around the challenges of creating new sounds in a world saturated in innovative music technology but lacklustre in terms of actual original output. We will primarily bring together two key disciplines: music composition and software design, and as such its members will be drawn from the cutting edge of both.'"
Dr. Who video above:
"From "Doctor Who - The Beginning Collection (1963)" Disc 1
The original full-length theme music, with original 1963 title sequence visual elements.
Composed by Ron Grainer, realized by Delia Derbyshire of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop."

The kit - MPC Industries - rare drum machine
YouTube Uploaded by prone69 on Jul 16, 2011
"One of the rarest drum machines made in the UK in 1982, the machine is a bit battered but it works!! .. I must apologise for the sloppy playing but hopefully it will give you an idea of basic functions. You cant make out the toms on this recording but they sound a bit like the toms Grandmaster Flash used on Flash it to the beat.Its for sale on EBAY , search for b.boyprone"

Note the video above is linked in the auction for demo purposes only. It is not the actual MPC SN 3314 listed.
"MPC electronics was only in business for a few years and they only made this piece (and a few companion pieces for "THE KIT") as well as a larger programmable version of "THE KIT". They were a UK based company, I suppose they just couldn't keep up with the advancements of other companies such as Roland, Korg, Linn etc. In the end less than 5,000 of the were ever made, that's even less than the TB-303!
I have been told "THE KIT" was released as an attempt to compete with the TR-606 of sorts. But what "THE KIT" is missing in programmability, it almost makes up for in sound quality and performance functionality.
"THE KIT" has a number of features you won't see on a TR-606, some you do... I will detail them below:
- THE KIT has 7 piezo drum pads that allow you to play the kit.
- Ride Cymbal can be tuned from a knob on the pieces front. (see pics below)
- Each drum part has it's own 1/4 inch mono output. (see pics below)
- There are 11 Trim pots on the pieces back the allow you to control different aspects of the machine. Such as: Cymbal Pitch / Decay, Snare Noise, Drum Decay and Pad Sensitivity.
- CV Inputs for the Bass, Snare and Hit Hat (i'm pretty sure, might be a tom also)
- Pre-programmed hi-hat section, 6 different beats w/ 4/4, 3/4 and 4 on the floor, 8th note and disco shuffle. GREAT HI-HAT SOUND!
- The pre-programmed hi-hat section can send CV OUTPUT to another piece via the 1/4inch output
- Individual volume controls for each drum parts
- Foot switch on / off
- 9v 1/8 inch power jack input (adapter NOT included) as well as 9v battery.
