I like the cathode tubes on it.  How d'ya set about rigging them up?  I've got a couple sat around looking shit cos they're not in anything...

Have you any samples of this beast in action yet?

i'm itching for a drum machine... grr.

You can mount cathode tubes on anything that runs of 12 volts in theory, you just need a mother of a power supply to cope with the extra 600Ma or so that they will draw. You've also got to be careful where you mount the invertor as it will interfere with the audio if you so much as look at it funny. Thats why i've got it mounted outside the case on the left, i could have stuck it inside but it was going to overheat.

Bit of a novelty being able to see the screen of a 707 on a dark atage.

The knobs on the bottom right control the decay of the open and closed hi-hats. They both use the same sample with different envelopes so the open hi-hat decay knob acts kind of like a maximum decay knob and the closed hat knob sets the decay of the closed hat at any amount under that set by the open hat decay. If that makes any sense.

The socket on the side allows you to input an external audio signal which takes the place of the hats and is gated by the hats pattern and envelopes.

That is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

I dunno, but anything made by EMS makes me need to go for a cold shower
