took the plastic bits off the wire coming from the tips of the jacks
I had read the text... but hadn't understood that sentence until now. he means the part of the wire connected to the tips of the plug, so it's not the ground, it's the phase (or how it is called in English).
Thanks for the reply!
Which synth do you mean, the Bass Station or the SX-150? The Bass Station has two separate outputs for CV and Gate, with the usual 1/4 Jack connectors. The SX-150 (the small DIY one) has some sort of CV input with a 1/8 mono jack... I say some sort of CV because it's not using any standard, I guess it's meant to be used with the Gakken Theremin kit.
Anyway, in the video it looks like it's the ground he's winding up on the stylus, but I'm not sure, because it could be a second cable (it looks like there's some brown plastic around it...
I just bough a Novation Bass Station, which is really a nice little analogue synth, and I got it for a great price...
Anyway, I found this video here, showing how to control a Gakken sx-150 through the CV Gate of the Bass Station:
Anybody knows these guys here?
Welle:Erdball, they mix the classic Krautrock sounds with more new wave oriented syle and where among the first to take a C64 on stage apparently...
I my wifi was working... unfrotunately firmware 3.0 broke my wifi and nothing will bring it back. thanks to mr.Jobs for that...
They sound HUGE even without the sid2sid thing... sometimes you'd think it's some old phat analogue syth instead of a cheap plastic home computer... but then the SID is a real DCO based analogue synth...
I have an iphone... I'll let you know as soon as I get hold of this... which I will... just too tempting! 
Though, it's kind of weird, I mean... why not get it on the GB and have the real thing? but whatever...

XU1541 looks really interesting! With USB and all... I'm not really moving the C64 a lot anyway, and if I would do, then not without a laptop...
EDIT: great thread btw! Thanks a lot, this was really useful!
yeah great plugin!
Just one thing for those people, who like me use reaper. You might think this is an fx vst, and have a track sending noted to the MSSIAH the normal way and use this VST as an insert FX. Reaper lets you do this, but it will mess with your C64 and mute your sounds on the SID. so use it as a normal virtual instrument plugin. As you will guess it's an error I made, but I though maybe I am not the only one
not that I use it that much lately... but great thing anyway!
I'm in!

Really rather interested in it. The CZ style filter looks loads of fun.
yep... analogue power!
Invest in some sort of disk hardware for your c64 and get tracking!
I reccomend 1541u, expensive yet portable!
yeah, I really need one of those... right now I'm writing down settings of patches I make...
C64TPC would be cheaper... but not really portable, since laptops don't have serial ports (although I heard something about having it work with USB).
yeah.. i guess.. but using it with some other instrument (you already have) is really really nice. If you're doing dance-able songs gameboys has the most powerfull sweep kicks ever (imo).
Well I have a GB lying around, could try it out... seems like a fun thing to play with anyway. I should probably mod it with pro sound...
I tried out nanoloop on the emulator and it looked sweet, don't know about lsdj
wow! What a enviable collection of musical gems!
great thread! It's always amazing to see people's setups!
Here's my home setup... I don't have gig setup yet, haven't done any gigs yet... but working on it...
from left to right: (non working) Kawai R50 drum machine, Oxygen 8 midi keyboard, Lexicon LXP-1 reverb, Presonus Firebox, C64-Mssiah, Gakken SX-150, Roland JV1080... my Korg DSS-1 is missing here, because I have to build something to fit it into here... too bulky for my home.
