"this is the filter, the filter made with diodes.
actually it is sort of a quick patch session showing its results.
when i say 'voltage' being recorded by the cv recorder, i mean control voltage.
and yeah, its pretty gnarly in the tuning department but i think you can handle it"

Intellijel Azimuth, Mutagen and HexVCA
"Mutagen: 12HP6x3 performance mixer
- 6 direct coupled inputs suitable for audio or CV
-each channel has a slide switch to select one of three output busses A/B/C
-each channel has a logic controlled mute. Mute generated by tactile switch or pulse/gate to the CTL inputs (pulse mode or gate mode selected by jumpers on back).
-leds show mute status
-Mute/Gate inputs accept any signal with a rising edge (could be sine, triangle, random etc.)
-Has link via ribbon cable to HexVCA
NOTE: panel displayed is a sample. They are revising them with smaller square punch outs for the switches so that they will be more flush.
HexVCA: 8HP
-6 channel VCA using high quality THATcorp VCA ICs.
-CV of each channel has led monitor
-outputs normalled to a summed output, normals broken when taken as individual outs.
-Also has inverse sum output useful for CV
-Has matching link header as found on the Mutagen for linking the two modules together. Link connects the outputs of each vca to the input normals of the mixer.
-Leds color coordinated to help keep track of channels bewteen the two.
-knobs control VCA offset (range -70db to 0db)
-6 trimmers on back of module for attenuating CV input range (or use uAtt)
Azimuth: 8hp
-Constant power panner/stereo ballance/crossfader and dual vca
-contains an additional vactrol based stereo width circuit (allows cv control of stereo material in the range of mono->stereo->extra wide via negative cross bleed.
-Bipolar and Unipolar CV inputs for the pan control
-Leds have smooth fading for displaying pan position.
Combine all three to get a VC mixer with VC stereo controls, volume and muting.
NOTE: these three modules will go into production in approximately one week but will not be ready in time for x-mas. Should ship first week of January.
Special thanks to Shawn @ AH for coaxing me into making a mixer and panner. Also thanks again to Haven and James for lot's of great ideas and input."

Flutes of Fire - $9,995 Sample Set
Flutes of Fire from The Loop Loft on Vimeo.
"The finer things in life don't come cheap. Caviar, Ferraris, Chinchilla lined-mittens, just to name a few. We believe the same holds true with flute loops. Especially when they are recorded by one of the greatest flautists to ever walk the earth, Victor "El Fuego" Machatchka. You may own his Grammy Award-winning records, or have read his NY Times Best Selling-autobiography, but until you listen to these 9 loops recorded exclusively for The Loop Loft, you won't fully appreciate the virtuosity that is Machatchka. And no, that's not reverb you hear. That's the sound of genius resonating inside of Victor's tortured soul."

Being able to interact with the sounds Matt and Jeremy make was a joy and I feel that our excitement oozes out of every frame. This video makes me quite proud and I'm stoked to share it with you. Put your headphones on, watch it in full-screen-mode and set your phazers to drone."

KORG monotron mod. experiment / VCOもう一個つけてみました
YouTube via gajeanalog | April 24, 2010 |
"I've got this nice analog synth newly released by Korg. The synth itself is fun to play, but I want to add another oscillator to enrich the sound. This is my first experiment to add a VCO to Monotron. The 2nd oscillator output is sent to VCF as well as the first oscillator (i.e. the original). This can do soft sync also.
The mod. info including schematics is uploaded at http://gaje.jp/projects/synth_effect/...

"Check out the article http://gaje.jp/projects/synth_effect/...
Optigan and Orchestron are optical organs manufactured in 1970s. One day I heard the sound and liked them, and thought I wanted to play them. However their manufacturing were terminated long time ago and nearly impossible for me to obtain. But the discs are still available, so I have a chance if I build the player by myself.
This is my DIY optical organ built from analog record turntable. It supports both Optigan and Orchestron discs."

Oneness
YouTube via attorks | December 13, 2010 |
"It is very hard to be original if you have uploaded so many videos to YouTube. I think this video is more of the same but yet a little different. Like most of my videos, the music in this video is totally improvised on the sequences I pre-programmed; hope you will like it.
Anyway, the video starts with some arpeggiated notes from the Waldorf Q Keyboard after which the sequences from the Ian Fritz Teezer Through-Zero VCO/Blacet MiniWave voice, the self-built Modular and the Synthesizers.com Modular are brought up; these are all 8 step sequences from the Doepfer MAQ16/3 and the Synthesizer.com Q960. Also some noise percussion is added provided by the Formant noise module filtered by the CGS high-pass filter. The Mellotron strings are provided by the Roland XP-80 and the solo is performed on the Clavia Nord Lead 1.
The title refers to the oneness between my friend Anne and I.
You see here the first 15 minutes of a 23 minute video. You can see/hear/download the video and music from my website soon."

YAMAHA SS-30 rare vintage analog string synth
via this auction"Very rare yamaha ss 30 vintage string synth , never released in the US
- often compared to the ARP Solina String Synth .
A chunky (its heavy, 20kg!!) wood veneered string synth from the 70's. Its a dedicated string synth with all the control needed to make those 70's string sounds. It really has a rich and lush sound , wonderfully simple and effective controls.
Control section running from left to rightpitch/ detune - The outer pot adjusts the overall tuning and the inner pot detunes the voices against the pitch which can produce a wonderful thickening effect ( some sources describe this synth as a duphonic/ multiphonic ,others describe it as a 4 voice polyphonic. It uses divide down chips enabling all keys to be played at once)
Orchestra -Depth ( Speed 1/2 ,cello ,violin ) A great ensemble effect with 2 different effect types (speed) and the ability to separate the effect between cello and violin ( so you can have ,for example cello effect and violins dry )
Vibrato ,Delay/Depth- Very nice vibrato effect.Sustain, Cello /Violin - sustain 1 control each for cello and violin giving again the ability to have separate amount of sustain for cello and violin sections . Very short to very long .
Keyboard split 0/1/2/3 .0 setting is no split and just the violin sound over the whole range. 1 gives a split with the lowest octave for cellos the rest strings. 2 setting gives 1 and a half octaves to the cello . 3 gives 2 octaves to the cello. The splits are indicated by a white dot above the note on the control panel
Cello ,Volume, attack/slow ,cello1/cello2 - control section for cellos giving control over attack fast/slow. Choice of 2 cello sounds.Violin Attack/Slow, Viola/violin1/Violin2 /Volume - Same as cello control section though the volume is at the far right.
Brilliance Cello/Violin Very usable low pass filter for cello and violin."
