feedback loop with behringer xenyx internal effects (machinedrum)

YouTube via 909techno
"picked up this very cheap (err... i mean inexpensive) mixer to test out.

running machindrum into it and the feeding the internal effects back onto them self. pitch shifting, delays, reverbs, flanges.

And yes, I know the Behringer is not the nicest mixer. I've got better - my whole pointing in buying this (big time sale!) was to check out the latest round of Behringer's and see how they are coming along. I've really not messed with it yet much to give a full impression."

"Thanks to Akai and StoreDJ, I've managed to get my grubby little hands on an APC40 before the official release date. I strolled down and collected it yesterday, and went straight home, set the camera rolling and filmed my first experience with the unit.

Watch the video as I plug it in and get straight into it!

I am spending lots of time with it over the next few days, and I will show it off at the official Ableton Live 8 launch in Melbourne on Thursday night ( cosm.co.nz/launch ) ... so if you are in VIC, head on down.

Visit TomCosm.com for many more videos, tutorials and free Ableton live packs."

100% Korg Ds-10 - Parallax by ChrisLody

YouTube via ChrisLody
"This track was written entirely on Korg Ds-10 by using a few techniques I have found. It uses the 4 note chord trick from my first video, I knicked one of the drum tracks for the bass, plus I'm running the sequencer at half speed with double triggered drum sounds, which is something I plan to do a how-to on later.

My wife came up with the idea for the video which is a stretch of road between Boston and Wrangle in Lincolnshire which is famously very flat as you can see. It reminded me of many early nineties video games, so I finished off the track on my Ds-10 as they seem to go together nicely. The first attempt at the video was a bit shakey so the second time we duck taped a Fuji Z20fd to the inside of our car for a more steady shot. I think it worked well.

There is a special prize for anyone who can count all the crops in the fields!"

The Ray Wilson WSG with Voltage Control

YouTube via dolphinicus
"This is a test of adding Voltage Control to 1 of the 6 oscillators in Ray Wilson's Weird Sound Generator. An R-2R DAC in my Deathlehem Machine is controlling the pitch of 1 of the 6 oscillators in the WSG, whilst the WSG plays an alternating note sequence behind it."

Sound Lab ULTIMATE

YouTube via theraywilsonshow
"This video describes the Sound Lab ULTIMATE. The latest project from Music From Outer Space. This is the largest most feature-rich single board analog synthesizer offered by MFOS. It is a challenging but very rewarding project. I offer an excellent quality PCB and professionally machined and silk-screened front and auxilliary panels for this project but as always you can make your own if you like. The synth's front panel is explored and several sample sounds are provided to show off some of the ULTIMATE's capabilities."

"After another 10+hour day at work... This is the same basic patch as the previous vid. Except now the CMOS modules are being tormented by the Serge VCS!

Bit more light than usual as well...heh!"

Doepfer A-100 Experiments, Flame Clockwork

YouTube via READYdot
"Once again something really simple. The Clockwork triggers the ADs of the A-143-1 that trigger three VCAs. Sound's coming from A-118 through three seperate filters, hence different sounds. All that goes through the BBD A-188-1. All is synched by the EMX. Enjoy!"
