XOXBOX w/SokkOS
via this auction
"ITEM DESCRIPTION
This x0xb0x is in 100% working order and very clean. It was built from a Willzyx kit, so all of the rare parts are original and not copies as sold by less reputable x0xb0x dealers. Yes, there is a difference and I suggest you do some research before buying any x0xb0x. I'm an experienced builder & tech, so the unit is very well built. I also installed SokkOS 1.9, which is much better than the standard OS in my opinion.
I measured all of the 2SA733 transistors before installing them and selected the highest gains for Q10 (332hFE), Q9 (315hFE), & Q8 (309hFE). If you don't know why that's important, read this. The result is a filter that cracks, warbles, and bubbles beautifully. I think it's very difficult to hear the difference between this x0xb0x and an original TB-303. I have experience with both synths. The Adafruit x0xb0x was voted the best sounding TB-303 clone by Acid Voice.
This auction includes the x0xb0x unit, AC power adapter, and a hardcopy of the Build Manual, which tells you how to test, calibrate, and tune the unit."

Somewhere Waiting
YouTube Uploaded by JohnLRice on May 15, 2011
"I was going to title this:
"Here Is An Over Weight Middle Aged Man Playing '70s Space Rock On An Old School Style Modular Synthesizer That Didn't Think He Seemed Quite Geeky Enough So He Decided To Wear A Headband Video Camera Too!"
But . . . that title seemed a little too wordy so I just titled it "Somewhere Waiting" ;-)
This actually started out as two things:
1) I was going to see if the second hand Modcan diode filter has a slight power up bug or not
2) I was going to quickly try out my new Oakley Coglin VCF
And then slowly turning into "something". I wanted to take this a lot further development wise but, I couldn't spend any more time on it so I though I would just record a bunch of messing around with the patch and then edit it down to a few minutes. Instead I just threw the whole 11 minutes or so together with some video footage that was taken while my car was parked somewhere.
The lead voice is a MOTM-300 VCO through an Oakley Coglin VCF. The main repeating sequence is a Moon 569 sequencer controlling a MOTM-300 VCO through a Modcan 23B VCF AND controlling the Modcan 23B, so at the beginning and end of the peice you are just hearing the self oscillation of the VCF. The "snare drum" is pink noise through a MOTM-485 VCF and its EG is being triggered by the COTK C964 Ratchet Sequencer. The "Mellotron like" sequence that comes in occasionally is a Synthesizers.com Q960 sequencer controlling two MOTM-300 VCOs through a COTK C1670 Ensemble Generator. (I'm using a MOTM-730 pulse divider and a Moon 564 sequential switch to allow it to play only every once in a while)
Thanks for watching!"

The Harmonic Series
Uploaded by EA78751 on May 15, 2011
"An electronic filter dissects a sawtooth waveform (82 Hz, pitch E) into the first twenty-four partials of the harmonic series. The waveform is displayed on an oscilloscope with annotations to indicate the harmonic relationships. One can see that by counting the number of crests in the waveform per fundamental cycle, the harmonic number is easily obtained.
Have you heard a melody played with the notes of the harmonic series? It can be a pleasant alternative to the 12-tone equal tempered octave. Which instruments are capable of this?
You can approximate the harmonic series on a chromatic instrument by playing the series of pitches listed in the right hand column over a drone note at the fundamental frequency.
You can also hear the harmonic series by whirling an open-ended corrugated tube around in a circle. These are found in some toy stores and educational science shops. Try this and you'll notice it takes more and more effort to get to the next highest overtone, despite the fact that the pitch increments are getting smaller.
A photograph is included of the voltage-controlled diode ladder filter that was used for this video. Text scanned from THE EMI WALL CHART For Musical Instrument Making. Filmed from a Tektronix 2430A digital oscilloscope.

PAIA 7700 Vintage Synth Variable Power Supply
via this auction
"PAIA 7700 rack-mount power supply originally sold as an upgrade for PAIA’s 6700/7700 Series analog synthesizers & studio equipment. It takes up two rack spaces, is rated at 1-amp output, has a front-accessible fuse holder, and is specifically designed for vintage PAIA gear.
This is a perfectly functioning built-up kit that contains all original stock PAIA parts except for the power cord, which I upgraded from PAIA’s flimsy zipcord.
Outputs
Two fixed internal connectors (see photo) that each have +15V & -15V outputs
Two ¼-inch front-panel jacks that respectively provide variable + & - control voltages. Knobs let you continuously adjust the front outputs up to +/- 15V. Internal thumbwheel pots also let you vary the maximum value of + & - voltages from about 9V to about 16.7V.
Because this is a kit, it’s relatively easy to replace these jacks with other types of connectors."
SynthTronica for iPad - Refracted Twilight
YouTube Uploaded by SynthTronica on May 15, 2011
"'refracted twilight' is a track created live with SynthTronica. A twenty second groove taken from Richard Devine's remix of BT's "Le nocturne de lumière" was used as a "formant", a time varying filter, within SynthTronica. Any sound can be used as a formant; while much of the sound's rhythmic character will remain, you provide the pitches or "notes" yourself.

the kids are growing
via jesper of electronic obsession: "My kids kept complaining that the old picture in the record shop was dated and that they looked too small and too young. So, this weekend we had a photoshoot to update it to their liking. And since it's become a serial in your blogg too, here's the link: http://www.electronic-obsession.se/
We did a bit of a "east-west theme" with what's probably the best known monosynths from each of the old superpowers. Being swedish and stuck as a "neutral" country in between it feels good to know that the legacy of the analogue world overcame the threat of nuclear war... or something like that. :)"

MakeNoise Phonogene-Regenerative Record Patch from Richard Devine on Vimeo.
"A variation from the Regenerative Record patch from the Phonogene manual. Infinite variations of regenerative slices and cutting on a live looping signal can be heard. The entire patch is running into the summed inputs of a Intellijel Mutagen. I then ran the main output of the Mutagen into the Phonogen, using it more like a stuttering edit plug-in on the master mix. The entire patch is completely modular using no other computers or external processing.

Audio Demos:

"These sounds were created using the ADE-10 Reactive Shaper - a Eurorack waveshaper module from Abstract Data which is currently in development.
The audio input for the ADE-10 is a 100Hz Sine wave straight from the output of a TipTop Audio Z3000 VCO with no modulation or effects.
The 3 CV modulation inputs on the ADE-10 were taken from the Sine, Triangle and Ramp wave outputs from a single Doepfer A-147 LFO.
The settings for both the Z3000 and the A-147 are identical for all these sounds. The only settings to change were on the ADE-10 Reactive Shaper.
These sounds were recorded straight from the output of the ADE-10 with no effects. Please download the AIFF file for a high-quality version.
Comments and questions all welcome. Enjoy."
"This patch shows how the ADE-10 can be used to effect complex, evolving waveforms.
There are 4 versions here for the same physical patch - only the knob settings on the ADE-10 prototype have been changed - all other settings were static and the only audio input is the Pad sound. There are no effects or overdubs.
First version is the original sound straight into the desk. The next 3 versions illustrate the effect of slowly raising all 3 controls on the ADE-10 from 0 to 10. All 3 of these controls have CV Inputs - but they were not used for this example."
"This patch shows how the ADE-10 can be used to effect simple, symmetrical waveforms.
VCO (1 Sine Wave) into VCA 1/ADSR 1 into ADE-10 Prototype into VCA 2/ADSR 1.
VCO Pitch is controlled by an 8 x step sequencer. ADE-10 Protoype has 3 x CV Inputs. CV In 1 is being fed by the Sine Out of an LFO, CV In 2 is being fed by the Saw Out of the same LFO and CV in 3 is being fed by VCA 2.
3 versions here for the same physical patch - only the knob settings on the ADE-10 prototype have been changed - all other settings were static and the only audio input is a single Sine Wave. There are no effects or overdubs.
First version is the original pattern straight into the desk. Versions 2 & 3 have 2 variations - ADE-10 Prototype Output 1 & ADE-10 Prototype Output 2 while version 4 has 3 variations. The final variation is the ADE-10 prototype in self-oscillation with no audio input.
