AcidLab Modded TB-303 Bass Line

images via this auction
"This TB-303 was modded earlier this year by a professional technician.
It was tuned/calibrated, cleaned, DC-in jack replaced, given orange leds (awesome),
the 6 original knobs are slightly risen for easier grip, given rubber feet on bottom and
the Acidlab Mini Modular kit was installed!

Here's the run down on the mods:
- Tough/Resistant black top face plate
- Overdrive knob
- Extra Decay knob (for staccato notes)
- Extra Resonance knob
- ACCent "2-way" toggle (all notes to be accented)
- Slide "2-way" toggle (all notes to slide)
- Bend "3-way" toggle (up bends notes higher, down bends lower, middle is off)
- extra leds for each toggle which light up based on sequence activity type
- X-Mod "3-way" toggle (Cross modulates the pulse wave (down) or the saw wave (up))
- X-Mod knob (adjusts the mod amount)
- 12 1/8" input/output jacks on back:
---- IN: slide, accent, filter, gate, cv, vca
---- OUT: square wave, saw wave, vcf, accent, slide, envelope
---- (I made a color, coated strip for these... it's tacked on with 2 pieces of tape. you can keep it on, or make your own)"

VCOnet vs the Drone Racks: A Dirge for BC


YouTube via OculoRapido
"A doombient salute to BC, as we approach the first year of unfilled bc16 orders. Is that Buzzy the bc8 lying silent and dead under the marble skull before the Borg Disk? Tune in next time to find out what new disaster awaits our long-suffering, backlogged gear cult as the fabled bcX and XWIND eat all available time and components. Perpetrated on Blacet/Metalbox/Wiard/Cynthia modular synths, VCOnet proto, KAOSS Pad 3. Xacti HD1010 video. Produced by Doktor Bob at Rapid Eye Soundlabs. Copyright 2009 Robert B. Trelease, Ph.D."

En Attendant BC - bc16 Slightly Delayed Mix

" Analog and digital ambient dronefest ode to the theoretical existence of the bc16 synthesizer, though its realization has oft been deferred since 2008. Sonics perpetrated with Blacet/Metalbox/Wiard/Cynthia modules, KAOSS Pad 3, and Chimera Synthesis bc8 ("normal" noisy mode). Tsk Tsk, Visual effects by Borg Disk and Pyramid Prism light organ. Produced by Doktor Bob at Rapid Eye Soundlab. Copyright 2009 Robert B. Trelease, Ph.D. Dedicated to the Disembodied Hand school of knob-twiddling EM videos."

Metalbox/CGS Programmer/Sequencer Test Drive


YouTube via OculoRapido

"Test drive of Metalbox/CGS 16 stage analog CV Programmer/Sequencer module, demonstrating random access to each stage and forward/backward sequencing. Original Catgirl Synth circuit design by Ken Stone, after a basic Serge sequencer. Performed on Blacet/Metalbox/Wiard/Cynthia modular analog synthesizer systems. Downsampled MP4 video converted from Sanyo HD1010 720p recording. Produced by Doktor Bob at Rapid Eye Soundlabs. Gratitude and respect to Michael Ford for designing and building all the brilliant blue Metalbox modules. Copyright 2009 Robert B. Trelease."

via Robert on the AH list:
"Michael Ford (Metalbox) has begun limited production of 8 and 16 stage versions of a classic Ken Stone Catgirl Synth design Programmer/Sequencer. Each version has 4 channels (A-D) of V/OCT CV outputs, up/down ('clock trigger') inputs, common pulse and all event outputs (for summed stage and pushbutton triggers), plus individual stage pulse inputs and outputs. The latter can be used to patch complex loops between stages. Each stage has a combination output LED and pushbutton switch, so stages can be triggered manually. Each channel (A-D) has an individual CV pot for each stage, so there's a tight/neat array of smoothly twisty knobs. http://www.metalbox.com/custom.html

According to Stone's familiar CGS documentation, he expanded on an original Serge sequencer design. http://www.cgs.synth.net/modules/cgs59_prog.html

Michael's Metalbox 16 stage version was custom built for me in a clean 'Wiard' blue anodized front aluminum chassis, 3" deep, 5U height, full width (19") rack mount, 1/8" jacks. Power was provided by a standard Blacet PS-500a connection through a custom DIN cable. As I recall, Michael said that the 16 channel version draws 250 mA."

"http://frontierdesign.com/PianoStudio

A demo of "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" by Genesis and played on PianoStudio on an iPhone.

Featuring a unique and truly playable interface designed specifically for the iPhone, PianoStudio lets you compose and perform complex songs that are impossible to play with other apps that limit you to tiny keyboards with limited ranges.
PianoStudio is the first piano app for the iPhone and iPod touch that helps you explore musical ideas, learn songs, write your own tunes, and even play along with your iTunes music.
By placing individual notes, entire chords, and even complete musical phrases onto a set of buttons that you can arrange and play, you can write and perform real piano music with chord progressions, "two-handed" patterns, and melodies in Allegro, all right on your iPhone or iPod touch."

Update via in the comments:

"In fact, the clavinet was not invented to become a funky instrument. First it was more a kind of a substitution for a spinett. I have made a video, where you can hear the original sound and also the funky sound with a wahwah.
