- Sliders on the main synth body for LFO depth, speed, delay, routing to filter or VCO. VCF and VCA each with AD envelope.

The Ray Wilson Show November 2009 WLT

YouTube via theraywilsonshow
"Another hilarious episode of the Ray Wilson show. The new smash comedy hit that has the entire world talking and falling out of their seats. Conan and Jay and Jimmy eat your hearts out. If anyone knows Conan or Jay or Jimmy personally and recommends the Ray Wilson show to them and they ask me to write for them and pay me lots of dough I will buy that person a Ferrari once I have enough surplus money to afford one which may regrettably take a while."

"A moderately funny observational humor show (smash hit hiliarious new wow... phhht). I got some good comments which led me to augment the video with audio of a focus group of people laughing while watching the video... OK I'm lying I added a laugh track at the request of millions of viewers. Ok one viewer. OK if you don't like the first ten seconds I recommend that you move on to the next piano playing cat video because it doesn't get a whole lot better but it keeps me out of the bars."

"I created a improvised a song with the Access Virus TI Polar. Then I used Pictures I found off the Internet. I used software called Ableton Live 7.16 for audio manipulation and track forming. Then used a software program called Reaper for edit and converting the audio to Mp3. The final software for video editing was Pinnacle Studio Ultimate version 12.1. All patches(sounds) coming from the VA synth ... Access Virus TI Polar. Hope you enjoy the demo!"

YouTube via bigcitymusic

"Too much percussion! It starts off with some drum sounds from the Diabolically modified 707. The 707 is clocking the x0xb0x 303 clone. The x0x's output is running to the mega-sweet Diabolical Devices Fuzz Burglar guitar pedal. It self oscillates and has twelve different settings for the internal oscillator as well as a momentary drop switch that lets you drop the pitch by about two octaves. The x0xb0x is also controlling the maniacal Flight of Harmony Infernal Noise Machine via control voltage. The INM has all sorts of sounds just waiting to make you sick to your stomach;) The joysticks are fun too."

Roland TB-303 for sale on Ebay Superb Condition!!!

YouTube via TomThayer. TB-303 on Ebay
" This video was made to demonstrate the functionality of my Roland TB-303 Baseline Synthesizer that I am selling on Ebay. This TB-303 is an exceptional example in superb condition. It hasn't been modified or messed with in any way. Everything works 100%. NO scratchy pots, NO flaky, double triggering buttons, NO battery acid leaks (has the elusive battery cover) and the pots even still have the "new stiff" feeling to them.

If you have always wanted a really nice example of a TB-303, this is it!

This video was made with the TB-303 going straight in to the computer with no EQ. The drum and sample sounds are coming from a Casio RZ-1 Drum machine.

At 2:45 I try out some distortion for the techno people. At 5:20 I add Some delay to the TB-303."

"Re-edited version of the recently uploaded video. Here is a short summery:

This is a prototype of the Flight of Harmony V'amp VCA

The Flight of Harmony V'Amp is a Voltage Controlled VCA that can move between a dry signal, into Amplitude Modulation through to Ring Modulation and back to Amp Mod. My set up for this demo is as follows.
Doepfer A-145 LFO modulating the Freq of the Z3000
Tiptop Audio Z3000 VCO being used an audio rate modulation source
Harvestman Polivoks VCF as a Modulator going into the Mod1 CV Input of the V'amp
SH-101 Kbd CV into the CV in of the Polivoks as well as the CV Input of Mod2 on the V'amp as well as retriggering the A-145 for rhythmic, in time modulations
The carrier, is obviously a Roland TR-707 Drum Machine

This module will be available in the Eurorack format hopefully before the end of the year.

Allen & Heath XONE:VF-1 Review

Carbon111 just put up a review of the Allen & Heath XONE VF-1 filter. You can find the review with a nice shot of the front panel controls here. The following is just a short snip from the review:

"The VF-1 can be an extremely subtle effect, maybe just adding some phase movement, or it can be totally in-your-face with squelchy lowpass sweeps and scorching tube distortion. That said, I still wouldn't generally classify it as an "extreme" processor like say a Sherman filterbank, but more as a surgical sound-sculpting tool that is also capable of imparting quite a bit of warmth."

via the XONE VF-1 product page, controls include: Filters, Resonance, Mono/Stereo, Invert Filter, Valve, Envelope Follower, LFO and MIDI.

Electroplankton Trapy

via Nintendo

"Trace lines through the water. The plankton swim along the lines to create mysterious music.

Trapy plankton make sounds as they swim over graceful lines made up of linked triangles. The creatures follow the lines you trace along the water. There are six types of Trapy in all, each with a unique color and sound. All Trapy plankton produce different tones depending on the direction they swim. They produce the lowest-pitched sounds when they swim to the right and produce higher-pitched sounds as their path veers to the left."

via Andrew who notes: "Nintendo have just made Electroplankton available for download in the DSi Ware store. It's kind of wacky, though: They're only offering 5 of the plankton, and you have to buy each separately (for 200 points - or $2.00 each). I still have my original cartridge, but a downloadable version is appealing!"

That is a bit odd. Note you can still find the original on Ebay. Click here for a search on Electroplankton posts including video.

Roland MC-202 Semi Modular Mod

YouTube via phono1337
"A quick demonstration drone from my latest project. A semi modular modification for my Roland MC-202. The mod includes CV inputs for pitch/gate (bypassing the internal sequencer) VCF frequency and pulsewidth. CV outputs for LFO sine, LFO triangle and adsr ENV. Raw oscillator outputs for Square, Saw, Triangle, Sub mix (whatever the sub switch is set to) and all three Sub types. Audio input to VCF and VCA.

The drone patch is made by outputting the raw square and saw into a Doepfer A-106-1 Extreme filter, cv and gate outs from the MC-202 also trigger an A-111-5 Mini Synth module (A-100 Module version of Doepfers new desktop synth Dark Energy). Two LFO's (one inverted) are modulating the A-106-1 .The MC-202 LFO is modulating pulsewidth on the A-111-5. The A-106-1 outputs to the MC-202 VCF input, whch then goes into a stereo delay. I think thats all..i may have missed something ;-)

If you are interested in me fitting this mod to your MC-202, drop me a line on paul@analogsweden.com"

Interval Expansion

YouTube via Photosounder
"http://photosounder.com
Detailed explanation : http://photosounder.com/blog/2009/11/...

This video demonstrates interval expansion, an effect that consists in expanding the spacing in pitch between notes so that each interval doubles. Therefore, two notes one semitone apart become two semitones apart, which creates a melody that sounds different from the original melody. This is done here by setting analysis parameters so that only about 5 octaves of the original sound are analysed, then the frequency settings are changed so that these 5 octaves are stretched in pitch across 10 octaves.

Original sample : Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings"
