Mysterious Collector's Serge

A lot of DIYers can pinpoint a synth that inspired them to build. For me it was this one:

Anyone here own it? can tell me more about it? samples?

Don't joke about such things! :D

First thing that comes to my mind is a fully controllable wogglebug with 3D panning and freezing of each element...

Semi off-topic: the upright Notron placement kind of defeats its stellar ergonomics... however, although having owned my Notron Mk1 since 1998, I only truly fell in love with it after connecting it to my modular.

It's a shame the software version still doesn't support one of its best features: midi-delay!

I think that is an old pic of Anthony Bisset's rig.

He started posting here recently.
Very inspiring dude.

I wanna see some current pics.
When I saw him live a few months back he had changed
alot of the panel legending with his own designs,
and the TB-303/TR-606 were in this beautiful wooden enclosure.
I think there was some CMS stuff in there instead of the Fenix.
Amazing system.

I believe the Time Tunnel is a broadcast 7 second delay, ie a censor box.
It wouldn't be especially useful unless it was really altered.

Not even close. Fighters had real sticks that went down through the floor and controlled linkages. Later ones had handles, which some gamer joysticks were modeled after, but fighters didn't have potentiometers in them back then.

Here's an assortment of Russian MiG joysticks from the 50s through the 80s.

If you look closely you can tell the earlier joysticks were made by state owned clarinet factories. Dave's extensive collection of Russian fighter jets is even more impressive than all the old radios he has.
