Gentlemen, and others.

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...
