The Pyradym
"Pyradym ™ is a self-contained electrically powered apparatus designed to stimulate and facilitate the human body's innate self-healing mechanisms. It consists of 4 basic functional systems: a sound frequency generating system, a physioacoustic vibration system, a corresponding light therapy system, and a crystal energy radiating system. These components are housed in a portable pyramidal-shaped enclosure constructed from the finest select hardwoods. There is a single recessed steel panel on one side of the unit which contains the user interface for controlling the pitch and tonal quality of the generated sound frequencies. This panel also contains the entry 
point for the AC supply cord, power switch, and line protection fuse holder"

"This is one of those excellent cheap circle drum toys rehoused in an old Coleco "electronic quarterback" game. Made for Beastie Boy Adrock.
I had to build a whole new set of buttons behind the original ones because they were so shitty. They're still loud as hell though.

"Ayyye! Here's a fun little patch involving a Cwejman square wave, the Analogue Systems rs60 ADSR to modulate the cutoff, and the sample rate reduction of the Elektron Machinedrum (any bitcrusher). With a little patience you can get aye's and yeahs. It's the voice of the Borg! And yes, we are dorks. Stay tuned for the next episode where we do some really fun stuff with the new Boogie filter."

"Inspired by Richard64 on Burnkit2600 (again!!!)
Added controls for the following
Kick- vol, decay, pitch, impact
Snare- vol, decay, impact, tone
Hhat- vol, decay, tone
Tom- vol, deacy, pitch sweep
Hhat mute
Kick boost (you can hear it right at the end)
As well as this I added a Highly Liquid Midi decoder (the midi indicator is the flashing light, which triggers each drum and a quieter version of each drum. The pads do still work, but the LEDS dont
Finally there are individual outs for each drum, though the snare misses the impact"

Add a popular '80s song with an unpopular '70s organ that weighs over 400 lbs., with a few '60 tiki mugs, and what do you get? More timelessly delicious cheese than the entire state of Wisonsin, for starters. Enjoy without apologies."
Charles & Jim - Vintage Synthesizers Explorer Part Three
YouTube via oneamongmany10. follow-up to this post.
"Oberheim Matrix 12 and Sequential Circuits T8 vintage analog synthesizers. We were messing around, trying to come up with some compositions that we could pair up on, in real time, ala late-70s early-80s Tangerine Dream or Steve Roach. The sound is coming through a couple of Martin Logans. We should get better over time as we get the hang of real-time composition on these instruments. But they are fun to play!"

Dave Smith Instruments Pot Edition?
According to Gearjunkies, a version of the Prophet '08 with pots instead of endless knobs is now available. Anyone out there confirm?
"Since the release of the Prophet ’08 in August 2007, Dave Smith has received numerous requests for a version with more vintage-style controls. The standard Prophet ’08 primarily uses rotary encoders for its front panel controls, but some customers prefer potentiometers (AKA pots) like those used on the vintage Prophets, particularly for the more performance-oriented parameters like filter cutoff and resonance. The new Prophet ’08 Pot Edition offers an alternative with 38 of the 52 front panel parameters controlled by pots; rotary encoders are still used for the remainder of the controls.
So, what’s the difference? The features and functionality of the non-pot and pot versions are exactly the same. The difference is strictly in the controls themselves. Encoders are “endless”—they have no minimum or maximum limit. The advantage to that is that when you edit a preset parameter, the change begins at the preset value and increases or decreases, depending upon the direction turned. Pots typically have about 270° of travel and have definite limits. The advantage to that is that you know, by feel, where the minimum and maximum limits are and you can sweep through the entire value range in less than one full turn.
The Prophet ’08 PE features three edit modes for the pots: Relative, Passthru, and Jump. In Relative mode, the value change is relative to the preset value. In Passthru mode, turning the pot has no effect until after the edited value equals the preset value (that is, until the edited value “passes through” the stored value). Jump mode uses an absolute value based upon the position of the pot when edited; turn a pot and the value jumps immediately from the stored value to the edited value.
The Prophet ’08 PE melds the best of the “old school” with the modern features and affordability of a new generation.
The MSRP of the Prophet ’08 Pot Edition is $2,309.00 and it is available now. Photos and more information will be available very soon.
