"This is my SuONOIO, in a custom enclosure I made from a steel project box. I drilled holes, cut out a notch for the headphone jack in the back, and made a stencil of the logo, staying with the original color scheme.

The SuONOIO is a portable synthesizer inspired by SONOIO's music, custom created by The Harvestman (Scott Jaeger). SONOIO is the new project of Alessandro Cortini (Modwheelmood, Blindoldfreak, former keyboardist of Nine Inch Nails).

"David Dixon designed a very nice fully featured implementation of an Analog Shift Register, based on the one by Ken Stone of Cat Girl Synth. He was kind enough to etch a pair of pcbs for me, and this is one of them."

Maestro Universal Synthesizer USS-1

via this auction
"This is a vintage analog multi-effect that has the following controls:
Waveform (with Intensity slider) a kind of fuzz effect
Filter (with Frequency and Brilliance sliders) envelope filter
Sample/Hold strange step Q filter effect
Phase (with Speed slider) Great sounding too
Envelope (with Attack and Decay sliders) another yet different envelope filter.
Sub-Harmonic (with a Volume slider and sustained or percussive switch) lower octave in quick hit or swell.
then there is also a slider for Sensitivity that works on the Envelope and Sub-Harmonic, basically increasing the volume of the effect compared to the natural sound.

Instrument plugs into the 1/4" furthest from the plug/transformer, closest to goes to the amp. No clue what the middle 2 do, and have never found any info on them."

"Frequency and amplitude are sampled at 24fps from each channel of an Impulse Tracker module via libmikmod. The data is used for animation in Blender 2.5. Not fully realized, but functions as a proof of concept.

My sincere thanks to the very talented Mazedude for generously permitting me to use his music.

"For those into cmos/lunetta (!) it already contains, 2 x 4015 shift registers, 6 x 40106 oscs, 4 x XOR gates, 1 Kludgey area, 2 x 3 channel passive mixer each with jack outs (Jacks to be mounted in a flat panel at the top of the console), 2 x AREGVCA as designed by Richarius, 2 x 4069 LFO ala scott gravenhorst (modded for 9v), 1 x 4040 divider (only 5 outputs/divisions utilised). Also since this picture was taken a week ago it also now contains, 1 x passive LP filter controlled via LDR, 4 x 4093 gated oscs, 1 x 4046 VCO, and a 4 input resistance summer/CV mixer.

Not 100% as to what the final modules are to be as yet, I may include another shift register, another VCO and I'd quite like some form of active filter in there...but then I'd like more AREG's...a Sequencer, more oscs...more logic gates, a pseudo ring mod.....the list is endless!"

"Duke Ellington's beautiful tune played on the Haken Continuum Fingerboard driving Native Instruments' Reaktor software. I did the background track using an Ibanez AR-250 guitar with a Copeland hexaphonic pickup and a pedalboard I built for solo jazz performances.

Tesla Coil Music - Island at the Center of the World - Part II: The Strangers

YouTube via marksmartus2 | January 22, 2011 | 0 likes, 0 dislikes

"Recorded live in Urbana, Illinois on March 7, 2008. This outdoor concert was part of a student-run open house for the College of Engineering at the University of Illinois. Tesla coils were used to create musical pitches via a control system designed by university student Steve Ward. Two coils were used. The right coil is playing a prerecorded Midi track, acting as the bass, and the left one is performed live as a lead sound via the Continuum fingerboard. In spite of the frigid temperatures (4 degrees Fahrenheit, 26 mph winds), the concert was well attended and was voted the most popular event of the open house.

This is the second part of a prog-rock piece by Mark Smart about the history of Easter Island."

Trip to Hell - SWARMATRON Clone - by gattobus
"Headphones strongly recommended.
This is is just a demo to try out my new swarmatron patch made on Nord Modular G2, inspired by the Dewanatron Electronics instrument.
Hear hundred of angels swarming and screaming desperatly at 1:15 -> 2:35.
Almost everything was played with Modular G2 (on multiple tracks) except of course for the drums (elektron machinedrum) and the bassline (Moog Little Phatty).
A little of gleetchlab in the background just to add a little atmosphere and some glitches here and there...
Mounted and mixed with Ableton Live 8.
Enjoy!"

MFOS Weird Sound Generator Controlling Moog Little Phatty


YouTube via Dovinia | January 23, 2011 |

"Here's a little demo of a WSG controlling my Little Phatty. One of the oscillators in the WSG has been patched out to provide a simple gate signal which is then fed to the gate input on the Phatty. I'm using the "Zany" oscillator (or LFO if you like) from voice A. I also added some LED's to show the LFO rates for both voices."

Dovinia | January 23, 2011 |

"Some random sound examples from a WSG I'm selling locally. This one has rate LED's for the LFO's and a gate output. The unit is built in a box of the exact same dimensions as Doepfer's Mini Cases."
