MEGA 4093 w/ 4 555 timers NAND DRONE SYNTH - Synthrotek


YouTube via synthrotek | February 01, 2011 |

"4093 Drone Synth from www.synthrotek.com
A blast of mega crazy sound!. Four 555 timers are controlling a 4093 Nand gate IC and things get OUTA HAND. Half of the video is just the drone itself and the other half is with a 10 step sequencer. FUN! Buy it online"

Livewire Vulcan with reset / sync mod

Livewire Vulcan with reset / sync mod from Danjel van Tijn on Vimeo.


"Demo of a mod done to the Livewire Vulcan to allow independent reset of the two LFOs. To the right of the Vulcan you can see a 4HP panel with the two jacks mounted, behind this is a circuit board designed to interface to the Vulcan and process incoming triggers. Jack1 is normalled to Jack 2 so that one cable can trigger both resets. Modules used: MFB SEQ-01 (provides the triggers) Livewire AFG (single oscillator that is being modulated) QMMG (not doing anything until the later parts where I modulate its in LPG mode) Doepfer VCA (just being used as an attenuator) The SEQ-01 could be replaced by any source of rhythmic triggers including gates from your midi to cv converter. The demo starts with no sync and simple modulation and then I start to patch more complex triggers and cross mod. Sorry for the poor quality! I forgot to turn on the camera light.... future videos will be better :) Also this mod may be offered as a kit, check the muffwigglers forums for more details. I plan to add switches for selecting mod sources and jacks to patch in external CV to the SUM/DIFF/MAX/MIN circuits"

BPRO/1 - Massively Modified Emu Proteus/1

via Absolut Extremes, where you'll find more pics and details.

"This project started a year ago with a ‘non-working’ Emu Proteus/1 from Ebay... the years have not been kind to this synth and now most software out of the box can do what it can in spades. But rather than throw it away I decided to mod the crap out of it and see what I could come up with."

Absolute Extremes also brought us MSSIAHCTRL, previously posted here, and the Yamaha TG-33 green knob mod just posted. You'll find more info on each on the site.

Yamaha TG-33 Green LED Knob Mod


via Absolut Extremes where you'll find more pics.

"I changed the plain knobs on my TG-33 to clear black faced knobs and added green led back lighting as well. I made molds of the original knobs and casted several out of clear resin before I found a couple I really liked. Traced down the internal power and added a small pot that varied resistance to the voltage that allowed me to dim the leds."

PAIA 9710 VCA/Mixer in Metasonix drag

via brian comnes:

"OK so I got this PAIA kit 4 years ago - started it and then moved to Chicago where I did nothing on a bench for 3 years - now that I'm back on West Coast and have a workbench again I finished the job. This is a PAIA 9710 VCA/Mixer done up in a yellow box with 1/4in jacks. I built it so my Metasonix TM-3 VCO could have an envelope and VCA controller and thus be useful beyond just droning on.

Anyway there are 3 shots, open, closed and on the bench with the TM-3 , a Moog Freqbox, and a JKJ MIDI/CV controller. I find the TM-3 works great when it's FM'd by the Freqbox, it makes for a rather meaty sound that can be controlled by Volts/Oct setting from the JKJ. I can wire the TM-3 directly but have to switch to Hz/volt but the TM-3 is not very temperature stable, i.e pitch/tuning changes noticeably the longer you leave it on. That's no biggie but you can see why an R-60 controller has value in a Metasonix set up.

I hope to have some Soundcloud samples in a week or so, I'm still learning to play the TM-3 with a ribbon contoller - sort of the Trautonium from hell.

Peace
Brian"

"Hello everybody!
Now some new stuff and change of plans , got some new gear and now im able to start what i wanted.
The last video was mostly just software and personally it feels like cheating.
Here you will hear me playing on the 2 x0xb0xes and the korg ES1.
Got a new soundcard which enables me to use VST effects on each instrument so now , yeah , it finally gives some proper ACID sound.
Working on the EP at the moment 4 songs so far! :)
Enjoy and comments are welcome of course. :)"

S-trig Control of Space Echo Footswitch


YouTube via chromeeumm | February 01, 2011 |

"The footswitches used with Space Echos switch a connection to ground, hence why I tried employing an s-trig adapter to automate control of these functions from a modular synthesizer.

Please note that the various Space Echo models appear to implement their foot switches differently, and I've only attempted these tests with this RE-150 and an RE-501. Its my understanding that in the RE-201, the footswitch stops the entire tape transport (motor, etc... ). Consequently, this might not be a good idea to try with those units! In these other models, the tape remains running all the time.

The s-trig adapter used here (home-made; based on a 2N3904) failed to work in controlling the footswitch functions of my RE-501. I was, however, able to leverage a Synthesizers.com Q128 analog switch to toggle a connection to ground (using a home-made 1/4" shunt in one of the Q128's throws ). This works great with the footswitch jacks of the RE-501, and is especially fun when used to engage the sound-on-sound looping feature.

Thanks for watching, and happy Space Echoing!"

Powertran Transcendent 2000 Synthesiser Demo

via this auction
"It is an unusual single-oscillator fully analogue monosynth produced in kit form by Powertran, UK in the late 1970s. It was used by legendary producer Martin "Zero" Hannett on Joy Division's "Unknown Pleasures" album - mostobviously on the track "Insight" where it can be heard wibbling away over Peter Hook's bassline.

As befitting a synthesiser designed by Tim Orr, the man behind the extraordinary EMS Synthi, the Transcendent 2000 has a couple of little surprises up its sleeve, namely:
1. The ADSR envelope generator can be set to repeat mode, turning the envelopes into a second (low-range) LFO
2. The ADSR envelope generator can be bypassed, allowing the oscillator to sound indefinitely, perfect for drones, wind noises etc
3. The oscillator has 2 waveforms, a variable square and a triangle. Somewhat unusually, the later's shape is adjustable from a ramp to a sawtooth allowing some rather subtle, delicate timbres to be created.
4. There is also VCF input that takes the supplied expression pedal, allowing the filter's cutoff to be played like a wah-wah. Talking of which, the filter can self-resonate with the best of them and can be switched between bp and lp modes.

Sound-wise, this synth excels at abstract drones and soundscapes, random machine noises, flowing leads and rather haunting solo violin type sounds. It's certainly no Synthi but it capable of far more sonic goodness than its simple architecture might suggest!"

Powertran Transcendent 2000 Demo by The Purple People Strings
"All sounds (including drums and percussion) generated by my Transcendent 2000. Recorded in Reaper with a little delay and reverb added afterwards.

The Transcendent 2000 was an English single oscillator monosynth produced in kit form in the late 1970s. Designed by Tim Orr of EMS, the synth was used by Joy Division on their debut album "Unknown Pleasures". Examples are now extremely rare."
