"This is my build of the Bananalogue Serge VCS in MOTM format. This is an extremely quirky multifunction module that was originally designed by Serge Tcherepnin in the early 70's, resulting in the Dual Universal Slope Generator that is in Serge modulars. I always wanted one, having watched several friends with these synths program complex patches based on this module. When Bananalogue came out with this module in euro and frac format, I approached them about buying several of the pcb's so I could put them behind MOTM format panels, but was refused, as they were plannng on producing them in that format "soon". Some time passed, and apparently the plan was dashed, as they seem to be reorganizing, and selling off all their old stuff. I bought several pcb's from them, including 2 of these in MOTM format, and it was a pretty simple build once I figured out a panel layout."

One Tone - Roland

"In 1984 I borrowed a 'Roland Juno 106' and immediately wrote this short piece of music - hence the title, 'Roland'. This is my tribute to this lovely little synthesizer. Copyright 1984."

homebrew SN76477 synthesizer

"A run-through of the SN76477 based noisemaker I just finished. Schematic based on the Saratronics SARA-002, with a few changes. Panel inspired by the Remco Sound FX machine (also SN76477 based) from the late 70s/early 80s."

Klee Sequencer 69 - Chaining Two Klee Sequencers

YouTube via ScottStites
"This is the first opportunity I've had to chain two Klee Sequencers together. Two or more Klee Sequencers can be chained together by connecting the gate bus out of one Klee to the random input of another Klee, and vice versa. In that configuration, both Klee's share the same pattern - the pattern cycles back and forth between both Klee's. This video uses a four bit pattern, but because both Klee's are in 16X1 mode, it turns into a 32 step sequence. Each Klee is controlling it's own voice in this video. This is a very simple patch - the number of permutations derived by chaining Klee sequencers is quite vast."

The k1m is to small for regular switches or patch connectors, so i used a electronics breadboard.
Every connection is possible, even multiple connections ,to create weird sounds.

For now, no bend bleep demo what you normally hear , but a nice sound snippet of myself .

The euro-rack modular in the background is kakihara's:
"The rack in the back mine, it is a 5 rows of Doepfer rack with mostly Livewire, Plan B, the Harvestman and some Doepfer modules.
Other performers were "Random Transfer" with his Buchla 18 panel 200e, "Filter 27" with an incredible arrangement of stomp pedals/processors and analog synth in a box, a special guest, Zoe, performed on her persephone with him. I was using along with the synth, MaxMSP and a Novation remote 25 SL controler...I go under the name "Kakihara 079"... I'll set up a webpage soon!
I hope it helps a bit! ;)"

Yamaha AN200 does the 303 by Alien Robot Dance

YouTube via se7ense7

"I'm making lots of vintage-sound-influenced music (with a modern touch) and I was thinking bout using some 303 sounds. I don't like software clones though but a real 303 (or even a hardware clone) is too expensive so I just sat down to create a 303 patch on my trusty Yamaha AN200... I think I came rather close to the original, not identical, not by far, but close enough to use in my songs and very tweakable just like the real thing (much more tweakable actually, but I kept it simple for this little clip)...

Boring vid, it's about the sounds though..."

simple analog modular patch - How to - part 1

YouTube via analogueak
"Very basic analog modular patch. I'm going to do a series of videos that get more complex and show exactly how the drum triggers, controllers, and sound design all work together in my kit. I wanted to start with the foundation of a typical and annoyingly primitive analog modular sound. My intention is to make some very simple videos to begin with, so the more complex videos won't be so friggin long."
