"Unit has MIDi I/O on mounted Dinsync jacks, (see pics), a total of (3) additional outputs for the Drums (Kick, Snare, HH) so all sounds can be recorded on individual tracks, nice! Also the Drums have the Tone and Decay mods, which is what makes it sound similar to an 808. Two pots control the decay of the Bass and Snare, and two switches for HH and Snare Noise/Decay. PAste this phrase into youtube: MONOMOD - Korg Monotribe Mod / Hack [posted here] to watch a video demonstarting the mods/sounds. (this is not my video, but the mod/sound is the same). Below I have posted some info on the MIdi Mod taken from Gameboy Genius' Blog [link].
Details
Sync: It will both send and accept MIDI sync, start and stop messages, meaning the sequencer can be reset over MIDI, which can’t be done remotely if you’re only using the regular sync input.
Notes: It will send and receive notes within the limits of the sequencer. It’s using channel 1 for notes. Notes outside these limits will be ignored. It doesnot react to varying velocities. It does however react to pitch bend MIDI messages and is able to record and play back pitch bend in flux mode! I don’t have MIDI out hooked up at the moment, so I can’t confirm this right now, but I’m assuming it also transmits MIDI pitch bend messages when it plays notes in flux mode.
Drums: It’s using the standard General MIDI specification for drums, which means the following notes on MIDI channel 10.
Name Note number Note name GM drum name
BD 36 C1 Bass drum 1
SN 40 E1 Snare dum 2/Electric snare
HH 42 F#1 Closed hi-hat
Control change messages (CC): It can send and receive CC for all the knobs and switches marked green above. The parameters are mapped as follows:
Name CC number Values GM parameter name
LFO rate 16 – General purpose controller 1
"For those of you who don't really understand what happens here and where which sound comes from:
The music is made with 2 instruments, the sequencer TenoriOn and the synthesizer workstation Korg M50.
TenoriOn is the instrument which i handle in the video. The clip shows the whole session, but you hear the sequenced sound first at around minute 1 when it's slowly
fading in.
The other sounds which you hear from the beginning are additional tracks which i've played with the Korg M50 synthesizer workstation. Also the TenoriOn was routet
before to the Korg M50 and is only the first track of this song.
Btw, the holiday video which appears in the small window is a flight from Denpasar (Bali) to Labuan Bajo (Flores).

Stone Mountain Park Carillon-Mabel Sansing Sharp Carillonneur
Uploaded on Apr 4, 2010 stevethrasher·156 videos
"For over three decades carillonneur, Mabel Sansing Sharp has treated audiences to spectacular performances of the songs "Clare Delune", "Chattanooga Choo Choo", "Amazing Grace" and "Georgia" along with many other songs and hymns. A very special thank you to Ms. Mabel for all of the wonderful memories!
For those of you not familiar with the Stone Mountain Carillon, the instrument was built by Schulmerich Carillons in Sellersville, PA for the Coco-Cola Pavilion 1964 World's Fair in New York.
The 732-bell carillon is located lakeside in the heart of beautiful Stone Mountain Park, Georgia. This amazing bell tower structure provides daily concerts to those young and old for reflection and inspiration. The carillon is the heaviest of all musical instruments and probably one of the most interesting by design."
This one spotted by Evan of Antiquity Music, makers of The Wheel Harp. It appears to be electronic based as you can see from the pics.
"For your consideration is an extremely rare Schumerich Americana carillon, one of Schulmerich's flagship carillons from the 1960s. Most of these carillons have been destroyed or salvaged for their amplifier parts, and finding one of these very nice models is extremely unusual. Buying a new digital Schulmerich carillon costs over $35,000 today, but these analog carillons have an even more beautiful, breathtaking sound. This particular carillon came from Weber State University in Utah, and cost over $25,000 in the early 1960s, which equates to over $180,000 in today's dollars.
We have fully restored this carillon's wiring, adding connectors (DB25, XLR, RCA etc.), so that the carillon can easily be moved around (all Schulmerich Americana carillons were originally hard-wired on-site when installed, so when removed, over 400 individual cables had to be cut, making restoration extremely costly and time-consuming). This required soldering over 800 individual cables!!!!! The restoration work on this carillon has cost us over $4000 in technicians' time.
Of course, the carillon comes with all of its original schematics and instructions.
This particular carillon has the following bells/voices, each of which has its own manual on the keyboard console:
61-note Flemish bells/voices (contained in the 5 chime boxes)
61-note Harp bells/voices (contained in the chime tower)
61-note Celesta bells/voices (contained in the chime tower)
This carillon has three 19" rack towers: (1) a power amplifier tower, (2) a timer/clock tower and (3) a chime tower
The keyboard console has a speaker in it, but the system also has an original Schulmerich satellite/external speaker. It also still has the original a paper roll player and a box of over one dozen original rolls.
Here is a video that we made when testing out this exact carillon's Harp and Celesta voices (because the volume was too loud for the camera microphone, it sounds distorted in the recording, but it is not in reality) [1st video above]
Here is a video that shows what one of these flagship Schulmerich carillons sounds like when restored (note that the carillon in the video is a different carillon, a Schulmerich Mark V, but the voices played in the video are all present and the same as those on this carillon) [2nd video above]
This instrument is perfect for the musician who loves rare bell/tine keyboards, as you can't get this sound anywhere else without paying tens of thousands of dollars for a new digital Schulmerich carillon. It even comes with Fender Rhodes sustain pedal and a Maas-Rowe Vibrachord carillon harp if you Buy-It-Now! The Rhodes pedal and Maas-Rowe Vibrachord harp, both of which are not shown in the pictures, came with a lot of equipment that we bought along with this carillon several years ago..."

"This is my version of M83's 'Midnight City', recreated (a 'ReCover' as I call it) completely in Propellerhead's Reason. All custom patches, all original note data (no web download of MIDI files)."
