follow-up to this post
"Accidentally double-compressed video (I'll fix it later). Apologies for this looking like it was filmed through a fish tank.
Using a Doepfer A-143-1 to control/trigger Maths. Maths is modulating channels 1 and 2 on the QMMG.
The sine out from a Z3000, with FM from a uLFO, is feeding a steady tone into QMMG channel 1 (modulated by Maths 4).
The triangle out from an Elf LFO is feeding a steady bass tone into QMMG channel 2 (modulated by Maths 1).
The tambourine sound is coming from a Boss Dr. Pad, triggered by the A-143-1.
I love how extreme a change Maths' response curve can have on its behavior. I only wish it was voltage controllable! And adding swing with gate delay-- fun, fun, fun.
I don't have a distro board for the top-rack of modules at the moment, which is frustrating to say the least! Soon enough I'll buy/build one, and can finally power the entire system. The Wogglebug and the Quantizer MUST meet!

Syrinx - Tillicum (Theme from "Here Come The Seventies")
YouTube via mojofilter02.
"Issued in Canada April 1971 on True North TN4-104.
[Note 1971 would be before the ARP Odyssey but not the 2600 and of course 2500]
Syrinx was an electronic music ensemble led by John Mills-Cockell (Arp and Moog synthesizers and keyboards), with Doug Pringle (saxophone, guiro, bongos, bells) and Alan Wells (congas, percussion). Mills-Cockell studied at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Music, and taught electronic music at the Royal Conservatory of Music. The three met during the time of Toronto's awakening avant-garde music scene in the late '60s. They were signed by Bernie Finkelstein, and had the second album on the True North label in 1970. Their music rather defies description, so I'm not even going to try. Suffice it to say that Syrinx were electronic music pioneers in the same league with Bernie Krause and Paul Beaver, and had perfected synthesis methodologies before Kraftwerk had rendered a single bleep.
The group was approached by Hobel-Leiterman Productions to create a theme for their new television series, "Here Come The Seventies," which aired on the CTV network. "Tillicum" was the result. The single was released in April 1971, charted in RPM at #77 with a bullet on May 8th, and reached #38 on June 5th. The track was included on their second album, "Long Lost Relatives" on True North TNX-5."
The Mighty Yamaha DX1
via this auction
"Here we have the king of FM synthesis and one of the "Holy Grails" of vintage synths (in my opinion). The Yamaha DX-1. Only around 140 of these were produced at an original cost of $13,900 in 1985. That is $26,500 in today's money! This is serial number 118. Yamaha hand selected the finest components available and hand assembled each synth. This is very apparent when you see, hear and play it. The keyboard action is luxurious. It is equipped with a professional wooden, weighted 73 note keyboard. The sound is stunning. I know everyone on ebay says their item is "amazing" but there is something special about the DX-1. I have A/B compared it with Yamaha's FM plug in board, two DX-7s linked together, and a DX-5 and there was no comparison. The DX-1 has a distinct superiority in sound every time, and it's not just a subtle difference either. There is a rawness to the sound of the DX-1 that is lacking in other FM synths. It feels alive, like an old modular synth's immediacy of sound and control. The only way to get the sound of a DX-1 is to own a DX-1 , no software emulation or other synthesizer compares in my opinion... Uncrated The dimensions of the DX-1 are 50x9x25 (inches) and the weight is 112 pounds. The DX-1 features a voltage selector allowing you to switch between American and European voltages so there is no need for a step up or step down converter."
Gristleizer PCB
via this auction
Update: group buy at electro-music.com
"This is a PCB to build the famous Gristleizer. Used by the industrial band Throbbing Gristle and many later experimental bands, the Gristleizer is a complex, but simple to build, effect.
It's a filter and a tremolo, controlled by an LFO, or low frequency oscillator. Here are some soundclips to help explain what it sounds like:
Using guitar. First clean, then with the Gristelizer on
Using synths and other effects [video below]
The board is carefully laid out to be easy to build. The part values are all listed on board, and there is an option to board-mount the pots. Included with the board is a wiring diagram for the off-board parts, as well as a bill of materials, and a set of build notes, instructions for tweaking and modding.
This is a bit more complex of a build than a fuzz pedal, so if you have never built any effects before, you may want to start with something a little simpler. Anyone with a little experience building effects should be able to build this fairly quickly and get great results."
Update: To be clear, the following videos are of the Smashing Guitars Gristleizer and not this DIY PCB. Results may vary.
Sold For: US $19.00
King Tut Plays the Gristleizer built by Endangered Audio
YouTube via keepyourkings
"The Gristleizer is born again! Made famous by Throbbing Gristle, raised on high again by Endangered Audio, a small, hand-built pedal company out of Asheville, North Carolina, The Gristleizer is the beastiest effects unit you've ever laid eyes on. Can also be used as a sound generator/synth of sorts, as you will see. For more info, go to: http://tinyurl.com/thegristleizerpres..." Be sure to see this post on the history of the Gristleizer
Update: via Taylor in this electro-music.com thread [linked above]:
"Hi guys, I'm not super-active on this forum, so please let me know if this is not where this belongs. I've designed a PCB for the infamous Gristleizer. This was designed in the 70s by Roy Gwinn and used most famously (and named by/for) the industrial band Throbbing Gristle. The circuit is an LFO with square, triangle, up ramp and down ramp waveforms, and a FET-controlled VCA and VCF. For the guitar guys I explain that more in depth but I assume you synth guys know what all of that is, right? The board is 3.3 x 2.1 inches (approx. 81 x 53 mm) and includes the option to board-mount pots. It includes a charge pump to derive -9v from a +9v supply. This is useful for building this as a tabletop or rack unit that will run off a standard single-sided 9v supply, but for modular use you can of course use your own bipolar supply. The board has been built and verified as working. I'm not positive how to estimate a difficulty rating for synth builders. It is a fairly small circuit, certainly in comparison to the gargantuan PCBs elsewhere on this forum, so it should be a quick and easy build. The board has black soldermask with white silkscreen, and all the parts and pads are labeled clearly on board. The boards are $12. Shipping within the US is $2 for one board and 50 cents for each additional board. Shipping to the UK and Europe is $4 for one board and 50 cents for each additional board. Other countries, contact me for a shipping quote. To order, send the total to taylorlivingston |at| yahoo |dot| com, and please indicate that it's for Gristleizer boards, how many, and your username at this forum. The wiring diagram with bill of materials and notes is here."
Update 12/10/2009: via Smashing Guitars in the comments:
"Hi this is Mark Boyd from Endangered Audio/King Tut/the video you have on your site. While we don't have any issue with you using our video to advertise your PCB, we would like you to make it clear that we a) your version likely sounds different than ours b) our PCB fixes the ticking problem without changing its sound c) our LFO has a wider speed sweep and the bias has a wider range as well. We have just dropped the price of our PCB and are working on a price for a full kit. http://www.smashingguitarsasheville.com That being said, in response to what has just been said in the comments, it sounds as if our PCB is less "modded" than this one as we did not change the LFO or the audio path. Also our version is the only one sanctioned by both Roy Gwinn and Throbbing Gristle. That being said, good luck with your builds! We don't want to cramp the DIY'ing out there in the least, we'd just like to make those important facts clear so the people who are going in for your PCB group buy know what they're getting into. Thanks, Mark any more questions email to endangeredaudio@gmail.com PS: that video isn't the greatest for getting the real sound of the Gristleizer by itself. check out these ones and let us know what you think!"

Jawharp on Novation Launchpad
YouTube via hotchk155. Novation Launchpads on Ebay and Novamusik
"I thought the XY control of the launchpad would make a good way to play a formant filter in real time. The pad is sending note trigger and continuous midi controllers mapped in Reason to XY of a formant filter, which is part of a Thor synth patch I created to approximate a jawharp. I also want to try to get a formant filter to "talk" under launchpad control....

M-Z3R0 - DYSTOPIAN - lo-fi drum and noise sequencer
YouTube via manufacturedZ3R0
"This is a hinghon keyboard paired up with a casio VL1. The hinghon is hooked up to a sequencer which can be used to set 8 step patterns using the rorary selectors to assign different drums to each step. It has overdrive and pitch control. The driver for the sequencer also runs an LFO (lfo1) which can be routed to both the hinghon and the vl1. Good for syncing up the leads sounds from the vl to thew drum sequencer. There is a second lfo routed to the vl1 which allows you to set it's pitch modulation to free run. The sequencer driver also connects to a drone switch which when activated will switch on a note repeat on the hinghon. The vl 1 also has it's own pitch, lfo depth and drone distortion controls."

"Love theme from Flashdance" - on the Voltage Controlled Glockenspiel
YouTube via organfairy
"This is not animusic! It is honestly for real.
This is a bigger version of the electric glockenspiel I have shown in some previous videos. The mechanical action is the same. However, the electronics are a bit different as this glockenspiel is responding to a 1 V/Octave signal. It is therefore a VCG - a Voltage Controlled Glockenspiel.
In other words: The glockenspiel can be controlled by a standard Moog keyboard. In this video I played it on a home build analog controller keyboard outside the picture.
The rest of the arrangement is played on the Technics SX-C600 organ and Roland SH-2000 synthesizer."

"Everybody knows that's what aliens sound like" - Bob Moog.
I wanted to do a scary Halloween dance song using only my Minimoog Voyager (pictured above) as a tribute to the awesome possibilities of the instrument. It's dedicated to the man who designed it. Dear Bob, thanks for everything.
(Visit the Bob Moog Foundation's Website: http://www.moogfoundation.org/ ; See also, Moog Music: http://www.moogmusic.com/ )
The Voyager gets quite a workout in this piece, and I do my best to make it sound big and nasty. As it opens, the Moog mothership descends, tentacles of patch-cable swirling, and abducts the listener to the far reaches of the galaxy at well beyond light speed. As for what happens after that? Use your imagination!
At the final count, I had 90 stereo tracks of pure Moog goodness. There was no sequencing; I just played in each part "live." Except for the kick (IZM Bazzism), the first snare, a bit of guitar, and the beat at the end (which comes from NI's Maschine) everything is from the Voyager. Processing was limited to simple compression/sidechaining, mild EQing, and some basic (though sometimes big) reverbs and delays. Compression from the Stillwell Rocket / Verb from Aether / Delay by from Fabfilter's Timeless / DDMF EQ. That's it! Oh, and the Moogerfooger ringmod and phaser get in on the action occasionally."
