This makes me think of Ben Neill. He uses a "mutantrumpet" with which he can 1) get the sounds of a regular trumpet. 2) get the sounds of a smaller trumpet with a slide like a trombone 3) have midi control over a whole pile of gear, including synth modules, samplers, the lights/projections and 4) do other stuff I don't know about. His "mutantrumpet" is pretty well documented, but I haven't been able to find any tech info on the rest of his rack, so if anyone knows what he's using and/or how he's using it, I'd sure like to know. When I saw him last September (opening for TransGlobal Underground) he wasn't controlling any lighting with the instrument (as far as I know), but his website describes the "mutantrumpet"'s ability to do so. For a better description than I've given, here's the url: http://www.mercurious.com/ben-neill/ By the way, the set I saw him perform, as excellent as it was, was also disrupted by a couple of over-zealous Natacha Atlas fans eagerly anticipating TransGlobal's set. Neill took it all in stride... Tim
