EMS AKS KIBAKO SPINNING SEQUENCE ספּיננינג

NakagawaGakki uploaded this superb video of an EMS Synthi AKS being controlled by a hacked turntable with a hand-drawn sequence disc:

"Custom electronics by NonLinearCircuits. 7 light sensors track on a re purposed scanner rail. 6 Sensors send VC (with potted slew) to the Synthi's 2 inputs. 1 sensor sends a gate to the Envelope Shaper.

Very fun to play.

Recorded straight from the Synthi, no effects, to the camera, for your complete gritty experience.
Further modifications will be VC turntable speed and VC scanner tracking..."

"Super nice, no damage at all. Everything works (OSC 1 freq pot is scratchy). I've never sprayed the pots out, just used it a lot when I first got it. It hasn't been used in a while now so it needs to find a new home. Included but not pictured: all three presto patches (in mint condition), power cable and sequencer cable (both original), original user manual, and original book of sounds. Free US shipping (Buyer must pay insurance costs only)"
