Anyware-Instruments VCO Oscillator

via this auction
via the forum
Googlish description:
"I sell an instrument Anyware VCO compatible with power supply in Synthesizers.com Moog format. From this VCO only about 30 pieces were manufactured in a small series. Sound very reminiscent of those in the Minimoog VCO. Through its 10-turn potentiometer Fine Tune it can be ultra-precise and may very well vote for VCO-FM can be used. The module is technically 100% ok and tells the Bohru nts to the usual mounting tracks, but after the installation are no longer visible.

VCO with lin / exp Fm input, Hard-/Softsync and modulated PWM.

This VCO is obtained really something quite special, because there are only a small circle of owners. The documentation of the building and calibrating, I can be happy to send as PDF. I was completely separated from my 5HE Moog system, which is why this module is here now for sale.

I am a private seller and can accept no guarantee, warranty or returns. But I can assure the full functionality. The costs of an international shipping please inquire. International bidders please ask for shipment quoits before!"

"I recently finished a modular system. It's basically a Paia 9700S system in a new shell, with a built-in midi keyboard and a homemade 10-step sequencer based on the Baby 10 schematic.

I tried to make the case as small as possible, so I gutted an old midi keyboard that had miniature keys. The red plunger buttons on either side of the keyboard transpose the octave up or down, so it's possible to play all notes in the midi range. The midi cable comes out from the interior of the case and goes into the faceplate, so I can unplug the keyboard to use a different controller (like drum pads).

The case is built out of acrylic, and the lettering is dry-transfer.

"This is a video demonstrating the disassembly of the prophet~600 and cleaning its contacts. In order to keep the video within a reasonable time frame, i made the speed of the clips sometimes 2x, other times 4x. I'm not a film person.

I added a track to this video, it was the result of a jam session a while back so its not perfect.

Enjoy, hopefully it will be of some use."

Reuseum Dual Filter (stompbox) WORKSHOP project


YouTube via nathanielscott
"This is a quick video showing the features and assemblage of the next kit project at the REUSEUM.

The video shows the kit placed into a modular panel for a synthesizer but the kit can be placed in any kind of enclosure like a pedal or even a cookie box.

The guitar is run only through the kit filter in this video. Besides being a filter there is a overdrive feature in the kit which creates the distortion sound on the guitar. No other effects or signal processing were used.

Participants in the workshop will receive a kit that includes a pre-printed and pre-drilled circuit board, all the electrical components and instructions required to assemble the kit.

The video was shot with a handheld video camera and the sound was recorded with its on board mic. This was done to give a real idea of what this filter sounds like. The sound recording was not treated in any way."

Hand-cranked MIDI sequencer from a baked bean can


YouTube via hotchk155
"One empty baked bean tin, some lego and a stack of little magnets... stick magnets on the tin and slide them about to 'program' the sequencer, then grab hold of the 'transport control' and crank away.... The breadboard contains 5 hall-effect switches and a PIC16F688 to generate MIDI note on/off information. This is piped to Reason in the first half of the clip and to a Dave Smith Mopho synth in the second half.
I reckon with a baked bean tin about 16ft in diameter and about 25,000 magnets you could dump your sequencer software.. and you'd be getting some good aerobic exercise to boot :o)"

"Look close at the pictures and you'll see that the original owner of this machine added larger knobs which are placed _over_ the stock slim shafts and anchored with a set screw. They can be removed if you wish... The system has long ince been out of production, but there is various information available on the 'Net. For example Here.

Demos are available in various places around the 'Net, like this collection archived by Matrixsynth."

First thePPGs.com video - Showing my PPG Wave 2.3 to the public.

YouTube via 12bitrec

"Showing the first video to be featured on thePPGs.com.

The PPG Wave 2.3 is one of the most fantastic synthesizers ever made - period.
Its sound is out of this world and to me there is no synth more delicate and at the same time raw and unique.

The video features the PPG Wave 2.3 and at the end of the video you'll hear my old and trustworthy Hammond AutoVari-64 as well as I try - and fail - to play in time with it.
The audio from the PPG Wave 2.3 and Hammond AutoVari-64 has been recorded to disk and inserted in the video for the best possible audio.

Have fun listening to the wavetable fun !!

Blacet Event Organizer


via this auction


From the auction:
"This is an original BLACET EVENT SEQUENCER. I collect and repair/restore vintage Paia Synth stuff and have no need for this panel. (It was included in a PAIA equipment auction) I do not know if it functions and is being sold as a DIY restoration project. This implies that it is sold as-is without return. Further technical information regarding this module can be obtained from the BLACET synth web site."

I took a look and found the Event Arranger DIY project written by John Blacet for Synapse on this page. BTW, you can find full scans of Synapse on Cynthia's website here.

Note the blue is the Blacet, the silver is PAiA.

Quad Bass ++ (Plus Lunetta)


YouTube via bchris1776

"I just got done building this drum machine - and this is one of the first patches I've done with it.
In the video I'm experimenting as I go -so you are watching my learning curve...

The Thomas Henry design "Bass ++" circuit is being sequenced by CMOS logic - Shift registers and counters to create the beats - and to provide control voltages through an R/2R ladder (a sort-of basic digital to analog converter) to change the pitch of the drums. I expect to be able to create very complex, not quite random beats with this in time... and of course simple beats are....simple.
The "Quad Bass ++" board is available through Electro-Music.com in the DIY forum.

Troika - Cloud, Kinetic Sculpture 2008


YouTube via MediaArtTube

"'Troika was commissioned by Artwise Curators to create a signature piece for the entrance of the new British Airways luxury lounges in Heathrow Terminal 5.

In response, we created 'Cloud', a five meter long digital sculpture whose surface is covered with 4638 flip-dots that can be individually addressed by a computer to animate the entire skin of the sculpture. Flip-dots were conventionally used in the 70s and 80s to create signs in train-stations and airports. By audibly flipping between black and silver, the flip-dots create mesmerizing waves as they chase across the surface of Cloud. Reflecting its surrounding colours, the mechanical mass is transformed into an organic form that appears to come alive, shimmering and flirting with the onlookers that pass by.

The sculpture is located in Terminal 5 in the atrium hall that leads to the British Airways First Class Lounges. The brief from British Airways was open and simple: create a signature piece that marks the entrance to the First Class Lounges and signifies the transition between the busy shopping floor and the calm and serenity of the lounges. Working from the idea of clouds and the contrast between the busy, hectic airport experience and the calm, luminous and ethereal world that we discover as we fly through this dense layer we came up with the basic metaphor, atmosphere and form of the installation. Another one of our inspirations came from the old electromagnetic flip-dots that were used in railway and airport signs from the mid 70s. Those signs, with their characteristic flicking noise that instantly invokes the idea of travel, represent to us a golden age of technology when analogue and digital started to merge. The indicators, dots that flip from one side to the other with an electric impulse have a fantastic materiality, a physical and tactile quality that more modern technologies often lack, being de-materialised into the virtual.

We dreamt of applying this redundant technology to our sculpture, to create a sort of living organism, a cloud that we could animate, exploring the aesthetic potential of the flip-dots. As the flip-dots flick we are instantly reminded of rippling water, of the mesmerizing movements of snakes and school of fish. For to accentuate this feeling we chose to create one side of the dots as silver mirrors emulating the organic movements of.' ( source: Troika web-site)
