Most Brits who inhabit this forum should already be aware of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, probably via Doctor Who. (Note - non-Brits should google "Radiophonic workshop" to know what I'm banging on about). Anyway, something has just appeared on the BBC web-site which may be of interest.
I actually saw this machine while it was in storage, absolutely amazing especially the bit that used oscilloscope tubes as a scanning mechanism to scan the patterns drawn by hand on blankk 35mm film stock. Strange thing was that you can now do all this by using the "draw controllers" function in most modern sequencers...
