I'm also working on something like the ToneMatrix or Tenori-on (Flash and actual devices, respectively) in pure HTML/JS. It works too, but the sounds aren't exactly designed to be great together (it's currently working on a C scale) and so if you're careful, you can get some decent sound but otherwise, it'll hurt your ears.

Crumar is not know for their great build quality, so I'd be surprised if it powered up. Looking at the inputs on the back, it's think it was meant to connect to another controller or control an amplifier (maybe a leslie type device)...I can't find any information by running a search on this board. It must be incredibly rare. It might even be a prototype for all I know. If anyone has any information on it I would greatly appreciate your expertise.
What is so unusual about this piece is it couples accordian style buttons into an electric organ. The power output is very unusual also. Unfortunatey I don't have the power adapter & don't know where to begin on trying to find one. I'm dying to know what this board is capable of. Because of this I'm selling it as a collector's piece. The previous owner owned a music store that specialized in accordians.
The Pacarana is a powerful multiprocessor computer that runs alongside your Macintosh or PC. Like other computers, the function of the Pacarana is defined by its software. Unlike other computers, the Pacarana doesn’t have to run a huge general-purpose operating system with elaborate GUIs and multiple independent processes that can interrupt each other at any time. With the Pacarana, all compute cycles are dedicated to sound; you don’t have to share it with any other tasks.
You can’t run software without a computer. This computer was designed for sound computation.
The Pacarana communicates with the Kyma X software running under Mac OS or Windows via FireWire 800 (IEEE1394
or an 800-to-400 adapter cable.
Audio and MIDI input and output is handled via an external FireWire or USB converter or, for current Kyma owners, through a Capybara-320 with Flame FireWire I/O. Connect additional USB MIDI controllers like keyboards or fader boxes via the second USB port.
Jason Brown listens to the Beatles with a uniquely analytical ear. The mathematics professor at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, says he's figured out the math behind the best of the Fab Four. Now, using "mathematical tricks" he's picked up from the band, he's written a very Beatles-esque song of his own. WSJ's Christina Jeng reports.
All of these sounds are forever linked with a particular image and added more to the success of the Star Wars franchise, then any other single element.We climbed to the top of a hill where there was a small radio tower in the hopes that the wind would make some interesting sounds in the tower or the support cables. I picked up a rock and banged on the cable just for fun and Ben said, "That sounds like the imaginary laser gun ought to sound!"
SO he recorded the sounds there and later in California he looked around for other towers and finally found one that he especially liked in the Mohave desert in California. There was a broken brace hanging on the cable that added a special quality to the sound and that was the one he used in combination with some other sounds to create the sound of the laser gun
