Sequenced Drone


YouTube via dkimcg | September 06, 2008 |

"I got rid of my Moogerfooger 105 MuRF. I don't think I need it anymore. I can make any of my filters do something similar with their own flair. Here you hear the Polivoks VCF from TheHarvestman and the PlanB Model 12 State Variable Vactrol Filter having their frequency shifted by the M24 Heisenberg Generator. The Analog Systems RS-95E is FMing the Model 15 and also controlling the morph shape on the M15 with a sine wave. It basically adds distortion by morphing at audio rate. The Dual Cyclotron modulates the frequency of the M12 filter and the Livewire Dalek Modulator. The buzzing loose sound is the Doepfer 188-1 making the dalek going through the M13 gate sound like a loose buzzy thing. The MFB sequencer controls all timing, and the MFB Drum-2 sends out a tom. No effects in the computer, just the recording. This sequencer is a great timing tool for making percussive music. I need a mixer. I wish Cwejman wasn't so expensive."

Light sensing sequencer


YouTube via JvGrieken | January 19, 2011 |

"A project I did for halfterms at HKU 15-12-2010

The entire project works with analog electronics. I used an overhead projector to project the images on an 3m x 1,50m screen. Behind the screen are 8 seperate piramids capturing the light and converting it into a pitch, the less light, the higher the pitch. The 8 step sequencer runs through the pattern and plays the corresponding pitch. I also added a filter and a control panel for the tempo, pitch and filtersettings."

NAMM: Way Out Ware SynthX [ARP AXXE] for the iPad

Way Out Ware SynthX: Alpha Preview Of Amazing IPad Synthesizer (Video)


An ARP for the iPad. Way Out Ware makes the highly acclaimed ARP virtual synths, the TimewARP 2600 and KikAXXE. Check out what Jim Heintz says from 2:45 on. Also catch the addition of some of the Roger Linn Adrenalin effects (see this post for reference). Do watch this video in full. It really captures the excitement behind what the iPad has to offer. There's some great visuals of the waveforms in real time including pulse width modulation. This is going to be a "look! no hands!" iPad app.

"Gino Robair sat down with Jim during the recent NAMM show to check out SynthX - currently still in Alpha - in person. The SynthX interface makes elegant use of the iPad's touch-screen, offering graphical feedback of the audible pulse-waves in real-time, as well as X- and Y-axis expressivity. We can't wait until this thing is official."

"both inputs are panned/faded across both outputs. when potentiometer or incoming CV is positiv In 1 goes towards R out, and In 2 towards L out. when incoming CV is negative it is the other way round... so i can use it as pan module or fader or even as VCA..."

"made a mistake with the board, so i had cut some traces."

"i like this shallow sandwich technique. more front panel real estate, but that's no issue for me. BTW you can see i had to tweak it a little bit ,-P"

PEARL SC-40 Programmable Synthesizer Drum Brain


via this auction

"It is not well known although i cannot understand why because it can produce and endless varienty of synthesized percussion and drum sounds, far beyond the boring Simmons-Piuuuuu.

The specs:
* The "40" means it can produce 4 sounds at once (not 40 ? no, only 4)
* Although it has 4 voices there are 8 Pad-Slots
* each Pad can be fired by a 6.3 mm -jack trigger-in OR (have a seat) .. MIDI (although it tends to hangup when fired with extensive data)
* each Pad has (if you like) an individual out or goes to the sum-out
* each Voice is made of: 1 digital Wavegenerator and Noise, 2 Bandpassfilters and 4 Envelopegenerators, see blockdiagram to the right. You can tweak the 'tone' and the 'attack'-part separately and set the balance of both.
* The 32 waveforms sound like cheap 12 bit samples with a loopphase. Some sound like sine or a chime or a gong. I put up a soundfile with all the waveforms below.
* you can store (!) 4 x 8 Banks, each with 8 Pad-Parametersets (=Sounds)"
