TouchOsc controlling Modular Synth

TouchOsc controlling Modular Synth from a guy called tom on Vimeo.


"TouchOsc iPhone app sending osc data into PureData Extended, where it is converted to midi and sent to the Doepfer MCV24 which converts it to voltage and controls the modular synth.
TouchOsc XY Pad controls the pitch of two Thomas Henry VCO-1 which also crossmodulate each other.
TouchOsc Sliders control Elby Steiner filter cutoff, Plan B Model 10 env cycle speed, Doepfer BBD feedback and delay. Thomas White LPG used in both mode for amplification. Delay is a Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai. Sorry for the video quality, its done using a photo cam.
Using TouchOsc is fun, there is a lot of control right at your fingertips. Actually it can control way more than i have to control :) Really cool app. Disadvantage is the steping in the control voltages that you can hear quite well, especially when controlling the pitch of oscillators. Not sure if its the midi resolution, the mcv24 or the application itself."

Electro Harmonix Memory Boy Synthesizer Module DIY


YouTube via MrRitchieDrums | September 06, 2010

"Synthesizers & guitar effects pedals have always worked great together. Having a stomp box with my synth is not comfortable for me. Analogue delay synth modules currently sell for $400-$500. - WAY OUT OF MY BUDGET!!! So I converted a Memory Boy pedal to a module for UNDER $140. My cousin cut the pedal box down to a panel & I added jacks to work in the front for easy patching!"

"El joven Kaleth, aprendiz del dancehall y la vía rastafari, finalmente está listo para dominar el paso secreto y centenario del dancehall que acerca a quienes lo conocen a la reina del Pum pum shot. Huba, su maestro, teme lo inminente de su propia muerte, y así se lo hace saber. La suerte está echada. Y, a final de cuentas, Sirtaker es solo un mensajero más de Babylon.

Onoue plays his handmade ribbon controller.
It can change a oscillator pitch smoothly, depending on the place which you press down. It was originally made as a kind of MOOG SYNTHESIZER's controller in late 60's. I made this following its example. And playing style is self-taught.

Roland GR-500/GS-500 Synthesizer System


via this auction

"Includes:
- Roland GR-500 Guitar Synthesizer
- Roland GS-500 Guitar Controller
- Roland 24-pin connector cable
- Guitar Case

This is THE first guitar synth ever made & it came out in 1977! As used by Mike Rutherford of Genesis and Alex Lifeson of Rush.

GS-500 Guitar:
* Ibanez made Les Paul type guitar with tons of knobs to control various parameters of the 3 separate synth's that were built in to the GR-500 module. The GS500 was a heavily modified Ibanez guitar, with a single humbucker plus a hexaphonic pickup for driving the GR500, individual on/off switches for each of the four synthesis sections, switches to select the sound of the guitar itself, the synthesizer, or both simultaneously, plus EQ
* The guitar utilizes a special pickup system that is connected to the synth module via Roland's own 24-pin interface and controlled it using CV/GATE signals generated by the guitar's pickup system while playing the guitar. In addition to the modified pickup, there were magnets under the face of the guitar that could increase its sustain.
* All this appeared as a beautifully crafted, but very heavy instrument whose body contained magnets that fed the audio output back to the strings, thus creating an 'infinite sustain' system. The GS500 really was far more than just a guitar plugged into a sound generator!
* The guitar has a very nice honeyburst finish.The playability is very good, with a nice comfortable neck and low string action.
* The sound is very very very versatile as you may expect. You can create anything with this one, Because of the Les Paul style body this guitar sustains for days and has a nice warm tone. I'm sure the guitarsynth experts know what i'm talking about."

Spectral Audio Cyclus3 16-step

via SchneidersBeuro

Googlish: "As the compact stands out is the step sequencer Cyclus3 of Spectral Audio out from the crowd of its competitors. Although he may have to offer, unfortunately it only eight Eingabepotis relatively quick edit once you understand how to toggle between menus and Venzago. The tracks themselves can modulate each other in record mode, any trace of the Midi are included and keeps your original timing. All tracks can then be in your play at different speeds simultaneously. Unfortunately, the resolution of a pot-revolution in direct touch input 127, which means is that rather delicate must be rotated to make a certain sound.

Eight lanes sequencer with up to 16 steps, 112 Patterns, 30 Songs, complex relationships among the patterns can be edited, high resolution 32nd. ..

MIDI IN, MIDI OUT, IN for external power supply 6 to 12V AC or DC, backlit two-line display"

We did not buy the additional available updates for the extra money already, we just made the units extra cheap for you to afford it yourselves.

By the way.. the inventor of this brilliant little synth from denmark also designed the stepsequencer Cyclus3 that has been realized by a swiss company called spectral audio. One very last unit of the cyclus and two quite good racksynths called Neptune2 from our demo/support rack are selling out now, too. Please ask for availability."

Extremely flexible...It can operate as 2 independant 6 voice JX8P's or as one monster 12 voice !! It also features velocity and aftertouch !...you can't say that about the Prophets and Memorymoog's !

These have the best string sounds of any synth ! ...the sounds are plastered all over George Michaels hits of the late Eighties !....silky smooth with plenty of depth and punch.... It is a jack of all trades and has the best key bed implemented into any analogue synthesizer...it feels amazing !"

"Analog Metropolis Since 2002 I have been developing, building and manufacturing over 100 different analog synthesizer modules. A variety of legacy circuits from the past have been recast with modern high quality components, as well as modern cutting edge designs which transform the modular synthesizer into a hybrid landscape of analog and digital electronics. These analog designs are all branded as Analog Metropolis.

These web pages describe the various designs that I have built, along with sound samples, accurate measurements of their sonic ability and some design information which Synth DIYers may find useful. I have also documented the original designs and history of the analog synths I have cloned, which makes interesting reading in its own right. "

The Minimogue VA with the Gristleizer

flickr By NeuGristle87

"This is the Minimogue VA. It's a lead, FX and bass synth just like the real Minimoog; the first 3 rows of knobs represent the original Minimoog. The only additions here is a button for retrig and legato. The original Minimoog is always set to legato. Also there are sliders for fine tuning that is not present on the Minimoog, but these works just like the pitch knob, only that it is more sensitive. It's just there to help you, because the Minimoog sounds best when it is almost in tune, but not 100%. Tuning plays a big part in the Minimoog sound. Also release in the envelope generators is added. The upper section is where you create sounds.

The last row of knobs represent new features that were added that is not present on the original Minimoog. These features are midi control, oscillator sync, LFO, autopan, overdrive, chorus and a delay section that you can sync to host BPM. The LFO has 3 functions. At low level settings it is intended to simulate the small tuning and instabilities in an original Minimoog. At high level settings it simulates the tweaking of a knob so that you can focus on the playing. The third function is to give oscillatorsync pitch variations to work with. It also syncs to host BPM.

Partially hidden is the Gristleizer patch for the Pure Data program."

bindubba5 demo #2


YouTube via cirtcele | September 05, 2010

"Slower clocking than in demo 1, hopefully gives a better idea of what the sequencer is doing. The clock2 input is initially patched into one of the gate outputs, then is shifted to a Wogglebug stepped output and back to a bindubba5 gate near the end. The bindubba5 CV outputs are fed to a CGS VCO and CGS49 twin CMOS filter. One filter is in LPF mode, the other in HPF. Audio and video recorded on a Nikon coolpix (awful camera - don't buy one). Sounds pretty raw but a lot of that is due to the distortion pots on the filters turned up to max.

"Here's a demo of a chaotic patch I made using:
-Doepfer LFO A-145
-2x Future Sound Systems Decade Counter DC1
-CGS30 Bandpass Filter

Various waveforms from the LFO are sent to the two Decade Counters which reset and disable each other as they process the incoming audio. One of the step outputs is then sent to the Bandpass Filter at the end of the signal chain. The chaotic quality of the sound is given by the fact that the LFO is resetting itself."
