Jomox XBase09 triggering MAM ADX1

YouTube via LyndonTCorbett

"Besides the XBase09's 3 internal drum tracks, each pattern has 3 additional monophonic sequencer tracks. The data is sent out via the midi out jack, and each track can have its own individual midi channel. In this way, you can control up to three different midi sound sources directly from the XBase09. Even slide programming is possible.

Here I have it set to control my MAM (Music and More) ADX1 drum machine. Unlike the XBase, which only has it's kick and snare being analog, the ADX1 is full analog."

Buzz-R-Electronics

"The goal of Buzz-R Electronics is to make it easy for artists to get their hands on exotic soundmaking devices. These are mostly one of a kind devices that can turn any sound upside down, inside out and scattered around the room. We also offer workshops on how to build electronic devices, hardware hacking, and computer music. If one likes the sound making devices enough I hope to be able to support the artists who are making these one of a kind devices by selling their work."

A symphonic theme

YouTube via attorks
"My 25th video upload to YouTube so a little anniversary!
A symphonic theme this time and did it all in 1 take. I was a little worried that the volume was somewhat too loud because of the heavy bassline but I did not hear obvious clipping. At first you hear a sequence from the Synthesizers.com Modular driven by row 1 of the Doepfer MAQ16/3. After that the volume is turned up for the sequence from the self built Modular driven by MAQ's row 2. The 3rd sequence comes from the Creamware MiniMax ASB which is driven by MAQ's row 3. The bassline and the melodies are performed on the AKAI AX80 and the Clavia Nord Lead 1."

"Using the external input with the guitar triggering gates in the patch. There is also the audio from the guitar going through a filter. The volume envelope of the guitar is modulating the filter cutoff. The sequencer's clock is stepping forward when triggered by the guitar, then the sequencer triggers the arpeggio and patch shift in the juno."

Thomas Synti 1055

via this auction

"The Synti 1055 was designed as an improvement to the Satellite, which Thomas Organ Company aquired the rights to manufacture in 1973 this was produced about '75. However it is not quite a Minimoog, Moogs are upgrade to the Satellite. The Synti 1055, like the Satellite, is an analog preset monosynth with a 3 1/2 octave, 44-note (F-C) keyboard (7 more notes than the Satellite). The major difference between the Synti 1055 and the Moog keyboards is that the 10 preset tabs are above the keyboard instead of below. To the left of the keyboard there are 7 sliders for modifying a preset, including filter modulation, cutoff frequency, and resonance. The lid hinges to expose the inners and you can see by the piscs how clean that is."

Les Synthetiseurs Une Nouvelle Lutherie - Claude Gendre and the Hohner 8D

via ELECTRAUMATISME
"One Sunday, my girlfriend went to the 2nd hand market just behind my flat and had the chance to find a book completely unknown to me :
Les Synthétiseurs, une nouvelle lutherie (for less than 2 Euros !!)...what luck when you check this link. It's a pleasant book covering all the synthesis basics, including analog and the golden age of Digital black box synths like DX7, Poly800, and Casio CZ line.

The book also details a few patches for each synth and includes sections for Keyboard amplifiers, Stands and so on...

Within these chapters, there is a special one dedicated to the Hohner brand who in 1985 planned to build a synthesizer called the Hohner 8D based on a proprietary technique for generating waveforms : the Multiple Event Generator.

Basically, it was about sampling existing material and regenerating them in multiples of the frequency being played in order to avoid any aliasing, and to faithfully reproduce any basic tone throughout the range of the Keyboard.

The beast would mainly have multiple waveform generators (kind of like DCO's) spread all over the keyboard scale, with noise generator, VCA, distortion stage, resonant LPF, enveloppe generator for VCA/VCF and an LFO... all for 8 voice polyphony, and with a very intuitive user interface.

It seems the prototype never saw the light of day (it should have been on Musikmesse 1985) and there is no picture available of this synth.

It should have been conceived in Saumur en Auxois in France (near where I spent my childhood) so, if anyone has any information about that synth, I'd be glad to spread it. [Feel free to comment or send me, matrix, an email and I'll let ELECTRAUMATISME know as well as update the post]

Here is the webpage of Claude Gendre who wrote this book (I'll try to contact him):

Sorry for my awful English"

No problem! Fascinating story. If anyone has more info on the Hohner please do comment and/or let me know via email - you can find the contact info on the bottom right of the site.

Wiard Wogglebug

YouTube via prototek.

An oldie but a goody I just saw on TRASH_AUDIO. This video went up in November of 06 along with this one in Jan of 07.
"Just showing a very small portion of what the Wogglebug can do. There were no other synths around so I decided to show how it can act as a type of stand alone synth/noise maker! There are many sound outputs on the "Bug" but I just decided to use the 2 main Outs as that's where most of the action is. Besides making amazing sounds this module is also a mecca of modulation. There are a ton of CV Outputs. A lot of this module was inspired by the functions of the Buchla 265 Source of Uncertainty. The Smooth and Stepped specifically."


What is new and very intersting, also from the TRASH_AUDIO post, is that it looks like Make Noise will be coming out with a Wiard Woggle Bug.
