via synthetic in the comments of this post: "Neil Diamond's "The Jazz Singer" was on cable a few days ago and the synth player was rockin' an ARP Quadra. I think I saw a String Ensemble in there too. The last concert scene, "Fahhh, we've been travelin' faaahhh..."

EMS VC3 Musical Demo and EMS Resources
RMC posted the following to the AH list. I asked him if it would be ok to post this and he gave me the all clear.
"All the MP3s or YouTube clips that I have found show the VCS3/A(KS) to be a brilliant sound effects device but not much in the way of musical demos.
Here's something like a bass line (257kB size) showing that you can get musical tones (albeit hampered by my hopeless playing, the KS keyboard and a bit of poor MP3 encoding): link
You'd best right-click the link and save it or go to the directory and save it from there; I don't think it will "stream" (3 VCOs as audio sources, some via the filter being swept by the env shaper, and then the reverb added too). I plan to do some more - maybe some leads if I can actually think to play anything.
Cheers
RMC, England"
Very cool. Thanks RMC! BTW, do check out RMC's EMS resources for schematics, images and more.
Update via RMC in the comments:
"also check out the sequencer demo, which is here"

Pochi Crafts DIY DKI Synergy
Remember the DKI Synergy? Title link takes you to Pochi Crafts' DIY Synergy page. Make sure to check out the rest of the site while there.
"SynclonOne is the DKI SYNERGY II+ compatible DIY digital synthesizer. SynclonOne main PCB is very small(140mm x 95mm), but it contains almost all SYNERGY II+ circuit, include Z80 CPU, 32 digital oscillators, panel scan processor, MIDI and serial interface port, DA converter interface. They are integrated into single Altera Cyclone FPGA chip on the SynclonOne PCB." [Previous posts on FPGA]

IBK 10 CONTROL
The IBK 10 CONTROL was a MIDI knob box that allowed you to write custom text to be displayed for each knob. I remember seeing this years ago, well before anyone else was doing this and well before this blog. Title link takes you to a page with more info in German. Here's a link to a Google translated version in English.
"The special to the 10Control, which differentiates this product from others at the market, is to be steered the possibility jump-free many parameters of a hard or a Softwaresynthesizers and a like over MIDI. Clearly more expensive CONTROLLERs reach this only by use of Motorfadern. Instead the 10Control uses continuous automatic controllers and makes thus the same functionality available for much a favourable price."
Update via dheidebrecht in the comments:
"I have one of these. They also made the "4 Control" which was sold by Native Instruments a few years ago. I believe these are still available. There's an english page for the 10 Control on their website"
