projects -
Basic kit: Mini Space Rockers (ericarcher.net)
Advanced kit: Autonomous Bassline Generator (4ms pedals)


The workshop was full. About 30 people built the basic kit, and about 20 built the advanced kit. Treasure City Thrift had a table of choice retro electronics for sale. After all the kits were built, we plugged in to the PA and partied until the amp overheated."

Roland MC 505 button mashing!

YouTube via Synthatikdotcom
"Put together a couple patterns on the 505 the other night so I decided to record a slowed down session with them. There's a couple screw ups and I had to cut it short because I screwed up using Mega Mix :-) but still thought it sounded okay. Also threw in some of my favorite 505 RPS presets."

Rhodes Chroma Pressure Sensor Retrofit Kit

"Yet another addition to the repertoire of accessories for the Rhodes Chroma Synthesizer thunk up by members of the mailing list! Polyphonic Keyboard Pressure or After Touch along with key velocity offers the ultimate in keyboard synthesizer modulation, nuance and expressiveness. I never understood why so few synthesizers have it, but now you can have it in your Rhodes Chroma!"

You'll find full details on the excellent Rhodes Chroma site here.

Non synth: if you click on the bottom image you should see some large tape cassettes in the background. They look like bas relief art from Ron van der Ende previously posted here on Sparkle Train. Click the link to check it out. What you see is not rendered or painted in any way. It's created by putting together various bits of previously painted wood like a mosaic. It really boggles the mind.

Tiptop Audio's Z-DSP Module

Tiptop Audio's Z-DSP Module from Richard Devine on Vimeo.

"First experiment with the Tiptop Audio's Z-DSP module. Amazing range and detail with the delay time and feedback controls. This is one of the most amazing Euro rack modules I have ever played with. 8 time-based VC-Stereo-Delay algorithms. Running TR-808, and TB-303 through the inputs, Amazing!"

Hertz Donut by Harvestman from Richard Devine on Vimeo.

"Our first little jam session with the Harvestman Hertz Donut by Harvestman, sorry for the bad video quality, we shot accidentally in the wrong camera mode, but you can still hear the crazy versatility of this module.

Dual digital oscillator with internal modulation bus. Voltage-controlled waveform discontinuity, internal pitch tracking with several lag settings. Dedicated square wave outputs, and a multi-purpose gate/XOR ringmod output."

Blacet Quad (Re)Mix VCA - Blacet Converted to Banana

YouTube via wonkythomas

"This is what happens when you decide to convert your Blacet modules to banana... you have to work out what to do with all the normallized connections hidden behind the panel inside switching jacks.

Not wanting, or having the panel space, to stick a load of switches in... I decided to turn this module into a real frakenstein (you see what I did there) 100% patch proggramable back to stock operation this mod also adds a bag of new features.

A CV output which gives 0 - 13.5V under control of the Bias pot, hey - you never know when you'll need 11Vs right!?!

Also a fifth input into the mixer section of the module!

In this video the Quad (Re)Mix is still half finished, I'm testing out the extra input function & the new Bias Out voltage. Simple Binary Zone sequence + Dual VCO PWM squeal & with a turn of the Bias pot; chunky Triangle wave riff! Thru some patching I have a crossfade between clean & distorted tones!

Check out the BananaFrac thread @ muffwigglers for more details / pics of other mutant systems;

Varilogic Wonk

"Grant Richter has given the world of modular synthesis so, so much.

I built the 2 Bit ADC from his Varilogic II core & its increased the power of my modular by a huge amount... I'll be bulding more, as well as the complete voltage controlled Logic module.... I mean VOLTAGE CONTROLLED LOGIC... there is no part of that which isn't made of 100% genius!"

Boredom + Double Kicks + Synths

"Ever wondered why metal & synths don't mix?

Well.... look no further!! I was just messing about with using wavefolding for clock multiplication & I thought this was too funny to go un-recorded... I thought it was hil-ar-i-ous.... I'll get me coat...."
