Circuit Snore.mov


YouTube via davidryle | June 30, 2010

"An idea to use noise generator to two sample & hold modules. Each S&H is sent to an oscillator and one osc is outputting a sawtooth waveform and the other osc is outputting a ramp waveform. These two are mixed and sent to the Linear Frequency input of a third oscillator. The patch is a simple sheperd tone generator. The variety comes from the random voltages from the noise and S&H modules. The third source of pitch control is the sequencers. One sequencer is sending pitch voltage to the third oscillator. The other sequencer is controlling LFO's, pulse width and panning modules.

The effect reminded me of snoring. A sort of slow breathing with unexpected sound effects."

Arp 2600 Semi-Modular Synthesizer

via this aution

"This is a fully functioning early grey faced Tonus logo Arp 2600 v2.0 and companion 3604p keyboard with matching serial numbers. Please refer to the cms nexus for arp identification info, but this was probably manufactured in '72. It has the short panel height of 14.5" and silkscreen labels on the trim pots. The oscillators are 4027's and the filter is, of course, a 4012. All of the modules are original. I am the second owner of this machine. It has been well cared for and is in excellent condition. The speakers were replaced about 3 years ago with proper replacements from synthfool.com as well as the handle on the 3604p."

DIY Boss PC-2 / Amdek PCK100 Percussion Synth


YouTube via hotchk155 | June 30, 2010

"see http://hotchk155.blogspot.com/2010/06... for more info

I wanted to build one of these bloopy analog percussion synths based on the schematic and a photo of the Amdek PCB.. and I think I just about succeeded with this DIY attempt.

I used to own a PC-2 so I can tell a couple of things about this one aren't quite right, like the sweep range. I needed to improvise with a BA6110 IC instead of the ultra rare BA662A and find an alternative to the centre-tapped sweep pot, but most components are true to the Amdek kit. See the link above for more info and the PCB template for etching.

Apologies for sound synch issues on the clip"

"Poker Face" - with Rhythm Ace drum machine


YouTube via organfairy | June 30, 2010 | 3:35

"Det her er sådan lidt.......... Ole Erling vs. Lady Gaga!

I though about how to make the video to this organ version of the well known Lady Gaga hit. But I didn't really think that miss Gaga's original idea of emerging from a pool in a black catsuit was my style.
Instead I chose to show the analogue drum machine I used for my version from the outside as well as from the inside. You could call it an undressed drum machine...

The rest of the arrangement is played on Technics SX-C600 organ and Roland SH-2000 synthesizer."

Zn'shñ : Butoh sweets (video of electronic soundtrack studio recording)

YouTube via znshn | June 30, 2010 | 4:03

"Electronic soundtrack recording by Zn'shñ for its "Butoh sweets" work.

A full electronic soundtrack accompanying the eponymous silent movie inspired by Butoh performances & iconography — realized by Elvire Bastendorff & Franck Smith. The disc "Butoh sweets" (adventures in dance, flour & colours), interlaces subltle noise machinery, refined glitchy pulses & sophisticated bitcrushing, to create an inedit composition full of passion for darkness. A work dedicated to Butoh founder Hijikata Tatsumi (1928-1986).

Vacoloco Zira Update

via Vacoloco Ramblings

"I’ve been tinkering with the code on Zira (TSKAPW - The Synth Formally Known As PicoWave), I just have the boot loader/MIDI Sysex update code to modify and test before Synth DIY. I’ll try and get around to recording some more audio examples and uploading them soon.

A few people have asked if this will trun into a kit, alas it can’t because of the use of an NJM2069 however, I do plan on using a lot of the technologies and methods to make something similar but using a none OEM filter, this will be available as a kit, but not until this is complete."

Unboxing: RW Minicommand from Moxie Wanderlust on Vimeo.


"Finally it has arrived! The Ruin&Wesen Minicommand unit! This device enables limitless control/configuration via MIDI CC code to Elektron devices Monomachine and Machinedrum.

Concieved, designed, constructed by Manuel "Wesen" Odendahl of techno duo Ruin & Wesen, allows 100% "funtime live control" of virtually any MIDI based music device and beyond. Based on an Arduino microprocessor and open source firmware, one can actually recalibrate the device to tailor to one's own pleasure. I'd love to do this, but I think I lack the time and brain capacity.

Kudos to the RW team for this, can't wait to ACTUALLY use it now! More video to follow as I figure it out!

:)

ps. sorry for the bad light/camering, I was too excited to open it."

Roland DDR-30 Digital Drums Module Demo


YouTube via zibbybone | June 30, 2010 | 2:28

"Quick demo of an often forgotten Roland digital drum module. With nice & crunchy (I'm guessing 12 bit) PCM samples, Roland entered the electronic drum market with the DDR30. While limited with only kick, snare and 4 toms, the DDR-30 offers several sound samples for each drum (including acoustic, Simmons-style electronic and timpanis) and many options for tailoring the sounds to your needs with pitch, amp envelope & EQ. It can also serve as a pad-to-MIDI converter for triggering other MIDI instrumennts.
In this demo, I go through the 32 drum kits that were stored in this module (not sure if they're factory kits or not) while being triggered by a rhythm pattern on my Roland Fantom X6. It might be hard to hear on your crap-top speakers, but this module really kicks. I think Infomation Society used one on their eponymous album - I'd have to check my copy of the CD+G that has their equipment list."

OTO Machines Biscuit demo with Korg R3

duncanperson | June 27, 2010 | 5:23

"I demo of some of the sounds the biscuit is capable of making or modifying. The R3 is the sound source in this video - it is producing a very, very basic patch - 1 saw oscillator, amp. no envelopes, no filter, nothing like that. Basically, this little box is amazing, every thing about is brilliant. The filter (especially high pass) sounds particularity good in my opinion.

Sorry about the terrible video quality, but I made up for it with good audio :D"

Dave Smith Instruments Evolver: Agressive demo


YouTube via duncanperson | October 24, 2009 | 2:40

"I was reading on the VSE forums that the best thing about the dave smith instruments Evolver was the digital waveforms, feedback, distortion, delays, output hack, etc. I had always thought it was an aggressive little synth for a few reasons.... anyway, I just had a go at making the synth sound as mean as possible. The evolver track was recorded in one take and has had no external effects added at all. all the synth sounds come from inside the evolver's box. The drums are just a bunch of 909, 808 and linndrum samples I had, the high hats and one clap have had their bit rate reduces in Ableton live."

DSI Evoler Glitch Drums

duncanperson | November 30, 2009 | 6:02

"Demo and Song sketch (in the second half). Anyway, I wanted to make some circuit bend style drum sounds so I turned to the Digital oscillators on the DSI evolver, put some crazy fm and ring mod on them and I was good to go. Most of the sounds have been slightly processed with filters and pitch shifting, but nothing that drastic. I also put an envelope routed to the pitch on the last sound. Normally I would just put a bit crusher on each drum sounds but I like experimenting!

The songs sketch was just to use the drum patterns in some way, bass is the evolver... 2 analogue hyper detuned square waves and some HP filter from Live. and the KP3 and R3 are midi controlling Live.

Thanks for watching - please rate and comment if you like! :D"

Gooned by DyLABs

via Acid Box Blues

"This track started out life as a bit of messing around with a sh101 sequence. The sequence in the sh101 is triggered by LT trigger out from my tr606 with a bit of live building and the such. The sequence is then f...ed with by taking the Ht trigger out from my tr606 and running it through a Digitana Micro Punk Robot and sending the output of that into the CV in to the sh101. I later added drums and FX to the sequence.

Enjoy"
