Meet D.O.R.T.H.E
D.O.R.T.H.E. from Lasse Munk on Vimeo.
"Meet D.O.R.T.H.E. She is currently 15”, pretty pale but an incredibly warm and caring max/msp patch, that creates music from your thoughts in the form of written words and sentences. She is amazingly well connected speaking several languages with which she controls a number of mechanical machines build almost entirely out of scrap electronics. She sometimes get surprised how much really well-functioning stuff gets thrown out every day, from several reasons - one being “the new model arrived”.
One visit to the junkyard provided her with roughly $300 worth of DC and stepper-engines, plus additional heaps of little useful things.
D.O.R.T.H.E. reuses words. She analyzes them, and use them for music creation because she believes that words, sentences and phonetics have many resemblances to music. Both one to one mappings like number of letters in a word translated to a pitch in music, but also emotional states like joy, distress, happiness, discomfort and fear.
D.O.R.T.H.E. is about re-cycling. Re-cycle words - turn them into music. Re-cycle electronics and turn them into instruments.

"Just soldered up this little program card for the Buchla Music Easel. For more on the Easel go to: buchla.com"
Not specifically a Halloween patch, but it's orange and there's some spooky sounds in there, so I'm giving it the label. See the Halloween channel link below for more. I'll add a link to the channel in the site links section directly above all posts as well.

JoMoX XBase 09 with XRom 8-bit Sample Expansion SN 0303-2494

via this auction
Pics of the inside with expansion card below.
"This unit is in most excellent condition all around. It has the latest OS 2.09 ROMs, which fixed a lot of bugs from the earlier OS versions.
Also, it is a rare unit to find in that it has the XRom Expansion, which allows you to load your own samples into the 8-bit sample ROM.
To be clear, it does not allow you to directly sample on the machine, but does allow you to put whatever samples you choose into the unit via a Sysex transfer.
More info can be found here: http://frequencyresponse.ch/xrom/
It's not an easy mod to do, and to do it right. It really adds another dimension to the machine. With the very flexible sequencer, you could actually switch to a different sample being played on each step.
I am sure you know that the unit does a great job at emulating TR-909 sounds and goes beyond that as the sequencer and on-board LFOs allow for some very unique programming and sound shaping in realtime.
Check online if you need more details/demos. To get you started, here's a link to JoMoX's page on the unit.
