This reminds me to ask... Has anyone here tried feeding their guitar/Stick/
bass/whatever into the analog input of a Waldorf Pulse Plus or one of the
other analog synths that have analog inputs?  I recall Robert (oh no!)
Fripp used to feed his Les Paul signal into a Synthi for his Frippertronics
sound.  Pete Cosey did that too with Miles Davis.  I think side one of
Pangaea has an extended guitar solo processed through a Synthi.

In a late 80s interview with Cosey, he said that the Synthi ended up
sitting in his basement (or garage?) for his kids to play with and make
Darth Vader voices.

Cheers,
