GetLoFi Delay Unit and Piezo Tine Demo


YouTube Uploaded by circuitmaster on May 2, 2011

"This is a first demo of the newly revised GetLoFi Delay Kit. The kit will be available for purchase from GetLoFi.com/shop

The metal tines are mounted on a piece of wood with a Piezo pick underneath. The signal from the pickup is then routed directly into the LoFi Delay Unit and the output is routed strait to the audio recorder.

The only controls on the delay unit are Delay Time and Delay Feedback. Unit turns on when an output cable is inserted. In the demo the unit is operated by an optional 9 Volt Wall supply.

The delay itself is based on the PT2399 Digital IC, only bare minimum of components were used to make assembly as simple as possible. No OP-Amps are present in the circuit."

"Rare Dual Ring Modulator (or as he put it 'doppelringmodulator') built by Dr. Joseph Otto MUNDIGL and used on his electronic recordings. He designed the prototype Synthi E for EMS and built various oddities for his own studio. The Ring Mod has 2 seperate ring mods and uses din connectors (midi connectors work) But of course is better to use the normal Jacks that are linked on the same din I/O. Inside it is very nicely built with old discrete components and Coils. It has a switch for each ring mod and 4 large attenuating knobs (1 for each input)."

Propellerheads Reason Tutorial: WaveShaper Combinator Effect w/ Malström


YouTube Uploaded by DubSpot on May 2, 2011

"For more info - http://bit.ly/kxOGZt

In this new video tutorial titled To Waveshape the Future, Dubspot instructor and electronic music producer Chris Petti shows you how to create a WaveShaper Combinator effect patch from scratch using Propellerhead Reason's powerful synthesizers Malström and Thor. First, Petti starts with a fully-built WaveShaper effect patch plugged into to the output of Thor (which is generating an unprocessed sine wave) with a series of real-time controls mapped to Combinator. When the WaveShaper is engaged, the unprocessed sound is transformed dramatically. Then, in a step by step process, Petti demystifies the method he used to create the effect patch and shows you how to build your own WaveShaper effect from scratch, utilizing with a blank combinator patch. At the end of the tutorial you should have a good grasp of how to Wave Shape (process, bend, twist, or modify) any incoming sound and make the lead elements in your tracks more effective and lively."

Analogue Solutions::Telemark Demo


YouTube Uploaded by MikeHulmeUK on Jun 19, 2009

"The new synth from Analogue Solutions - Telemark. I've only had it for a couple of days but it's already made a huge impact on my studio. I don't know how I've got by without having any VCO's in the past! This thing sounds HUGE.

I decided to make this, my first demo vid, to showcase the Telemark as they aren't enough demos out there. Keep in mind that I'm only scratching the surface here...

All the sounds you hear in this demo are made on the Telemark. The only FX added were a touch of reverb on the main synth sound.

Roland TB-303 Devil Fish in a red aluminium case


via this auction

more pics at the auction

"Serial #158, Version v.2.1D I bought this Devilfish from a guy in Germany sometime in the Spring of 2004 and shortly thereafter, I managed to persuade Martin Rothlisberger from Switzerland to custom make me one of his amazing machined anodised aluminium cases! As you’ll see from the various pics below, it is custom machined with this TBs serial number on the back. It took A LOT of persuading to get this case! For the past few years Martin has not been making any more cases. I did get an email recently from him where he suggested he was making more, but they won’t look like this because Martin no longer has access to a 4D capable CNC machine. So basically it’s no longer possible to have that lovely slanting area by the tactile pushbuttons, which also means no ‘TB-303’ lettering can be engraved there.

The fitment of the TB-303’s delicate electronic innards into the case is a very tricky affair, they are carved from solid blocks of aluminium by a computer, and thus super accurate; the problem lies in the TB itself, which hailing from the 80’s is not so accurate. Some of the potentiometer positions can subtly vary, and there are other pitfalls, for example the wires can get pinched in different places. Thankfully Robin Whittle himself took on the task of fitting the electronics into the case! Subsequently, this TB has been fitted to the highest standards possible.

OTT ? You bet!:
Robin strikes me as the classic genius engineer and in implementing the modification, I guess his priority is in making sure everything works, not necessarily whether it looks beautiful. When I got the machine back, there were a few (admittedly) minor things that I wasn’t so happy with; things like knobs scraping against the case metalwork and LED’s not being quite high enough to poke through the case metalwork. I have a lot of experience doing fiddly solder work, thus went about putting things right myself. Amidst this endeavour, I installed 2 by 2 carbon fibre washers (I had a specialist firm make them to my specifications), the latest sealed tactile switches (from Analogue Renaissance – see this link), an even larger capacity lithium battery than the one Robin uses as stock for the bank memory back up and the rear of the case attaches via precision machined titanium bolts. It’s a functioning piece of design / art.

Obsessive? Um, yeah… probably :-)
I was actually really obsessive… Unhappy with the use of cut pieces of leather to increase the height for the set of the six uppermost knobs, I acquired some super expensive 3mm PTFE sheet and machined my own knob shaft inserts from it. Plus rather than use Blutack to ‘glue’ the knobs on to the shafts, I used what plumbers do – a small piece of flexible PTFE tape which works really beautifully for this purpose. Perhaps most practically, I have implemented a delightfully simple but important idea that buffers the main PCB board, in the event that the machine ever falls face flat, which due to the design by Roland, does leave the machine quite susceptible to a cracked PCB. Some of the ideas I have shared with Robin (to his interest!), others I have not as yet, but I suspect he and other TB enthusiasts would find them interesting, if not a touch obsessive :-)

I almost forgot – WHITE LED’s!
It is worth me mentioning that along with the ‘works’ fee to have the TB-303 fitted into the alu case, Robin charged me separately for fitting some special LEDs to this machine. With great care, I had tracked down some lovely diffused white LED’s. Most white LED’s are hyperbright and not diffused, these were, but were still a touch too bright and so Robin had to reengineer the TB-303 drive electronics to power them correctly. I feel this was really worth it though, the white on red looks absolutely stunning in pictures and more so in person."

KOMA BD101: Mangle and cut your sound apart with an innovative vactrol controlled analog delay circuit in combination with a fully adjustable wide range frequency gate. It sounds like you're playing your instrument on the porch outside of your house and inside your amp is slowly sinking in the toilet, CV controlled of course. This might sound strange, but that's just what this pedal is about: create weird resonant frequencies, shift between heavy delayed sounds and super short pulses, with whatever instrument you want to plug into it. The BD101 comes standard with a solid foot switch, multiple inputs, an audio and control voltage patch bay with passive attenuators on the back and our new innovative expression controller."

Elements of Chip Music


YouTube Uploaded by lftkryo on May 2, 2011

"This is my chip music seminar from Revision 2011.

Abstract:
When working with a soundchip such as the SID or the 2A03, the artist faces a number of technical constraints that limit, guide and inspire the creative process. The seminar will highlight and briefly explain some of these constraints, with particular emphasis on how they influenced artists during the golden age of chip music to give rise to some of the clichés that now define the genre. We will also see (and hear) how variations of the same constraints have emerged in other genres and ages, and how composers such as Bach have tackled them in similar or different ways.
