Modifying a Gameboy - Adding a GetLoFi.com LTC Module and Pro-Sound Mod


YouTube via CremeDeMentia. Also see this post. via GetLoFi
"In this video, Alex shows us how to add a GetLofi.com LTC Module to a Gameboy. The LTC Module oscillates within a specific frequency range. When you take its output and patch it into a Gameboy, the Gameboy now reads this variable oscillation instead of its own internal crystal's oscillation, giving you control over the Gameboy's pitch and computation speed. The Pro-Sound Mod is patching the audio signal from the Gameboy's volume knob directly to its output, resulting in a louder signal with more bass."

BLIP FESTIVAL 2009

BLIP FESTIVAL 2009 from 2 Player Productions on Vimeo.


"Music: Random - 'Sitges Savepoint'"

"/// About the Blip Festival
Trash-bin symphonies and ray-chasing pixel pushers herald the explosive return of Blip Festival New York City, 2009. The three-day music and arts festival returns to Brooklyn's Bell House December 17th, 18th, and 19th and is presented by Manhattan arts organization The Tank, in partnership with NYC artist collective 8bitpeoples.

Entering its fourth year of celebrating the best and brightest from the realm of chipmusic and its related disciplines, the festival showcases the use of the former heavyweights of computing such as the Commodore 64 and Amiga, the Atari ST and 2600, and the Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy to create arresting music and visual art.

The festival, now one of the worlds largest and longest running events of its kind, continues to evolve with a greater breadth of international artists, a growing sophistication of styles and creative vocabulary, and a forward-thinking enthusiasm driven home by over two dozen of the worlds best musicians and visualists.

If there's one thing festival-goers can expect, it's to have their expectations blown away. And the high-energy, low-res live experience is also supplemented by daytime workshops, film screenings, and open mic events -- all in an open, friendly, all-ages atmosphere, accessible to the hardcore fan and the chipmusic neophyte alike.

///Blip Your own Adventure Video Contest!
In partnership with Plogue, we are hosting a Fan Video Contest where filmmakers, videographers, ytmnders, animators and interested amateurs are invited to take their own crack at capturing the Blip Festival in a funny, awe-inspiring, insanity inducing viral bliplet! You can read more details and rules at:

Solvent improv#3: techno acid slop x0xb0x + Modcan Super Delay 30a + 808


YouTube via s0LVentCIty
"Solvent Improv #3 - This will be the last video with this Modcan/808/x0x setup.

OK so here is a techno/acid improv. Pretty sloppy and boring in several sections, I know... But I uploaded it because I think there are a few really cool sections in here too. It often sounds very busy, like there's a lot going on, but this is really just an 808, x0xb0x, Mbase Kick, and processing via 2 Modcan modules --- the Frequency Shifter, and the SuperDelay. All of those intricate (or sloppy, depending on the section), rubbery bass sounds are coming from the x0xb0x into the Super Delay module, with it's delay time CV-in being modulated by the Modcan sequencer (clocked via 808 trigger). The result sometimes reminds me of Soul Oddity or some of the early Schemetic 12"s (wonder how many people will recognize that obscure reference!?). Anyway, this Super Delay module was inducing some severe gear lust, so I'm almost relieved that they're discontinued - because I definitely cannot afford one.

Those familiar with my music will know that this is not the kind of music that I release. With a few exceptions, I really don't even like techno, so I don't know why I've been cranking out so much stuff like this lately. So far it's just for fun.., we'll see... But this is definitely *not* the kind of material you can expect from my upcoming album (coming out May 2010 on Ghostly).

The Muscle Contaminater Circuit Bent Synth by Mr.Ugly

via this auction
"I found this guy in the alley near my house, thinking that I could pull it apart and reuse the case, or maybe the pots, however, when I got home I was pleasantly surprised to find out that actually still powered up! Moments later I found that each one of the 12 outputs gave me controllable oscillations.
Each output gives the same pitch and rate controllable oscillation, however, each one can also be filtered with the knob just above the output. And, there's a master filter/volume knob, too. Runs on a 9v positive tipped adapter.
Of course, not being one to let a perfectly good electronic instrument just sit there innocently being what it should be, I added more knobs and switches that make it squeak and grind. I don't suggest using this for it's original, medical intentions anymore. I think it was meant to control muscle contractions. If you used it now, your muscles might balloon up until you look like a freakish hulk. Like one of those guys that looks like a pile of grapes."

"The Muscle Contaminater by Mr.Ugly. 2009.

I found this weir medical device in an alley and circuit bent it. I would really do something like this, but IT'S A MEDICAL DEVICE! I MEAN: WTF!? Of course I had to mess it up. It's got 12 outputs!
