By adding a connection from the ring of the "ext source" input to the "pen" connection you can plug directly CV/Gate output from x0xb0x to gakken directly.
Moog Slim Phatty Synth Teardown. Green is ground up to the audio IO board. The multi-colored wires are providing different voltages (the largest I saw was +/- 15v). The gray ribbon cable is USB MIDI to the separate USB breakout board.

As Able As Kane formed in summer 1987 and were originally a duo - Ding and Paul R .
They were heavily influenced by Jim Thirwell's Foetus and bands like Killing Joke & Revolting Cocks and had
become excited by discovering European acts such as Front 242, The Young Gods and Laibach.
They had precious little equipment and early recordings were heavily reliant upon a collection of junk metal they'd acquired, accompanied by Paul's voice and a drum machine. Ding wouldreluctantly play bass and guitar on some of the pieces.
When Ding started on a sound engineering coursethey met third member, Brendan McGuirk. When he joined the band, he brought a sampler and a couple of decent keyboards into the mix andthe studio school where they were learning gave them access to sequencers and multi-track tape. After writing and recording several tracks at overnight sessions the band started to play live shows and gain a bit of a local fanbase. Several decent reviews later they were lucky to land a recording contract with a young Manchester based record label, Scam Records. It was Scam Records' suggestion that the band shortened their name to AAAK
For Scam, As Able As Kane recorded a 6 track mini-lp entitled "Buildingscape Beat", which is a term they had started to use to describe their music. Buildingscape Beat was recorded towards the end of 1988 and on its release, managed to catch the attention of John Peel and raised the band's profile sufficiently that they were offered another recording deal with the cult Belgian label, KK Records.
The result of this 2nd deal was a 15 track cd/vinyl release called "Big Fist", which saw the band,now minus Brendan, receive a U.S release as well as Europe. The U.K didn't bother too much about AAAK and most of their fan base was overseas. During the final stages of recording of a 3rd album, the band had their Manchester studio and all of their equipment robbed and without suitable insurance were forced to call it a day.
In the summer of 2009 Ding was approached by German E.B.M label, Electric Tremor with the idea of re-issuing AAAK's LPs and possibly a live show or 2 to promote iit. Paul R was consequently tracked down. It had been about 15 years since the duo had seen each other - and the idea of just re-releasing the early material rapidly turned into re-recording he best tracks off the two releases instead. These new recordings were coupled with a collection of unreleased tracks from 1987-1991 re-mastered from cassettes and DAT tapes to form the 2CD release, "The Collection" [2010].
The band played several gigs to promote The Collection and in so doing, found themselves reformed. New material started to be written and over the course of 2011 tracks appeared on compilations, re-mixes were done for other artists and a single/E.P- "Out Here" was recorded and released on Electric Tremor in January 2012
April 2012 saw the release of the bands first LP of new material since 1992. Entitled"Totalitarian Tip-Toe" the ten track album presented the 21st Century with a return of their buildingscape beat style.
The new album features new members Neil R [The Words] on guitars and Tamsin A [Mr Heart] on backing vocals. There are also several tracks featuring live drums provided by Howard J [Lost Harbour].
In August 2012 the band embarked on their highest profile appearances to date, five shows supporting Red Hot Chili Peppers in eastern Europe. For these shows they expanded their live set-up to a 5-piece With Greame S-S [The Words] providing live drums. The surprising billings saw the band receiving great responses from crowds as large as 77,000.
Spurred on by the success they have started to record a new 12 track album for release in spring 2013. This will mark the 25th anniversary of the release of their first record and will be entitled "Buildingscape Beat XXV"

Part of the rig of one of the acts at the supercollider symposium club night. Incidentally, i think that was the loudest thing I've ever been to ever.
For the past 2 Sundays I've had the wonderful honor of taking photos of my friend's band In False Remedies. They're new sound is great! They're a fun, awesome group of guys with a LOT of talent. Check out their facebook page perhaps? :) Just search for In False Remedies.
