Hey peepz,
phil and me are doing devices under the name ruin & wesen, mixing analogue designs and digital contorl circuitry. We have a website coming up, but at the moment we are all undercover.
I have been doing a few machines, including the noise delay I posted about in my last blog. It has changed a bit and makes wicked sounds. Here is a sample mp3, direct into ableton live, no effects except a limiter (watch your speakers), no cuts. It has 2 oscillators (lifted from the atari punk console), an LFO on pitch, a passive filter and a digital delay (it's a digital samplign chip), which sounds very warm and "analoguey".
Here is the mp3: link
and 2 pics: link

(Sorry for the crappy pics, I lent out my cam, so I'm using the webcam)
I specialize in programming and microcontrollers though, so I have built this sequenceable MIDI-CV converter that can do tap tempo, midi clock generation, midi sync, store its own patterns that you can upload/save over sysex.
link (you can't really read the display on the webcam pic)
I have a better design of the MIDI controller I had at STFU athens, which is now 5 rotary encoders and a display, and it can send out customizable MIDI messages. No pic yet cause the paint is drying 
I'm going to STFU marseille in 2 weeks, and I want to bring a few devices with me and sell them as well. The price is about 80-100 EUR for simple stompboxes / simple effects, up to about 150 for CV controlled effects, and 250 for complicated stuff like the noise delay. MIDI stuff depends on the breadth of what you want. I know it sounds pretty expensive, but I really can't lower for custom designs to be worth it.
So, I'm taking orders, if you want a design from the internet to be done, or some custom stuff, one of the above, or a custom MIDI controller or MIDI processor (like a MIDI merger, or a filter, or things like that), hit me with an emmail and I'll try to build it next week (I can do about one - two devices a day). | |

quip: that's a massive build! I definitely have a sequencer planned (you can see the sparkfun keypads in the first pic above), but it's going to take some development time until I have it where I want it to be. The sequencer you're talking about is not really complicated, it's just a massive build really, which means lots of pots, and pots are pretty expensive. My suggestion would be to have only 8 encoders, but a 16 step button row and do the assignments "machinedrum-style". You can switch from the first row to the second row (or even have more sequences).

Also, I have two of the small USB midi boards available. You can use those to mod midi gear to have USB. Zanf, if you're coming, can you bring your board as well, I have a software update for you.
