"Just a little 1st time jam w/ a vintage Buchla Model 216 Touch Controlled Voltage Source keyboard.
The patch is simple: 216 controlling pitch & FM of the 258v Dual Oscillators into the 292e Lowpass Gates. Just a bit of fun :)"

"Use the enclosed rubber-feet if you don't mount the MicroWave in a rack. Simply attach them to the four bottom-corners by means of their self-adhesive tape. This helps to avoid any scratches on your Aunt Annie's valuable living-room furniture, should you ever have a recital at her bingo-party."

Hollow Sun TriOSC Now Available
"TriOsc is styled on equipment retrieved from an ancient, disused rocket launch control centre and features three oscillators with samples of valve sine and triangle waveforms taken from a rack of vintage test equipment to create dense clusters of retro sci-fi electronica.Unique to TriOsc is the 'SERENDIPITY' button (labeled '?'). You see, TriOsc has a mind and being of its own. Clicking this button generates new patches and sounds randomly created by TriOsc that instantly evoke the spirit and electronic tonalities of the early Radiophonic Workshop, 'Forbidden Planet' and other classic sci-fi movies, Morton Subotnick, Tristram Cary and other early electronic music pioneers working with primitive equipment - an astonishing source of inspiration which can lead you down different roads of musical ideas and exploration. The randomly generated sounds can then be tweaked and shaped to your own particular needs using the comprehensive panel. They can even be saved as normal NKIs for future use.
TriOsc is available now and costs $8
http://www.hollowsun.com/HS2/sli/triosc/index.htm
Requires Kontakt 4.2.2 or higher. It will work with the free Kontakt Player but only in 'demo' mode and the session will be time limited."

Polyrhythm experiments using AudioCubes
YouTube Uploaded by Percussa on Jun 18, 2011
"More info about Percussa AudioCubes at http://www.percussa.com
In this video we show how AudioCubes can be used together with our MIDI generative software to create polyrhythms.
We set up the Impulse drum machine in Ableton Live 8 (backbeat room preset) as a sound source, and connected this via MIDI to our software, which uses the position of the AudioCubes to start and stop patterns, and the orientation to change patterns being played back.
Each of the cubes is attached automatically to a drum sound (kick drum, snare, closed hi-hat,...)
The patterns are all 32 steps in length and are played back in sync, by each of the cubes. The software was playing back the patterns at 70 BPM (beats per minute).
Each of the cubes can play any of the patterns, on any of the sounds, simply by turning each individual cube."

Continental Shuffle ~ [_E_U_R_O_S_T_E_P_]
Continental Shuffle ~ [_E_U_R_O_S_T_E_P_] from cv slime 800 on Vimeo.
"Just finished adding speaker carpet and protective corners to my Doepfer A-100LC9 Low Cost Case so it's more durable for portability and gigging (these are the cases that come with a raw wood finish). I also attached 4 thick rubber door-stops (please don't laugh) on the back so that it can be played while laid flat. The stoppers elevate it enough to get a right-angled IEC cable in under there and also so I can reach under to the on/off switch on the back.
PATCH NOTES (well, some highlights of what I remember...):
Hi-hats are created with the 6 oscillator output of a Doepfer A-117 Digital Noise/808 Sound Source going into the high-pass input of an Elby Designs CGS735 Synthacon Filter (while an MFB Drum-05 Snare Drum goes into the band-pass input). I'm using the Analogue Systems RS-60 as the Envelope Generator for the hi-hats. I 'play' the one-shot switch and also hit the gated repeat switch for out-of-time bursts of hi-hat. The other noise output from the A-117 (2 oscillators) is going into the Frequency Modulation input of the Harvestman Piston Honda. I only just discovered using noise as a FM source which is probably old hat to some (no pun intended).
A clock source is feed into the B input of a Malekko Switch and the Pittsburgh Timetable is 'cued to play' with the manual push-button on the Switch. The Doepfer A-166 Dual Logic Module is doing trigger/gate combining with various outputs of the 4MS Rotating Clock Divider and the Timtable to create shuffled rhythms for the hi-hats and the MFB Drum-04 Bass Drum.
2 X STG .mix are used like 2 halves of a stereo mixer

Chimera Synthesis BC 16 analogue synth
via this auction"Chimera Synthesis has now gone out of business, so these synths are likely to become collectors items. If you read up about them you'll know that lots of people never got their orders, but mine arrived (months after I paid for it) - so now's your chance to grab one.
This is how they were described on the Chimera Synthesis website:
The bC16 miniature patch synthesizer packs a fully featured VCO, LFO, envelope generator, analog VCA, analog VCF, noise sources & ring modulator all in a CD sized case CNC machined from 10mm high-grade acrylic plastic.Fifteen color coded potentiometers control key functions, connections between synthesizer sections are done using twenty-five 2mm mini-banana sockets.
Powered by either six AAA batteries or by an external (not supplied) 9 to 12v source, thebC16 can be used free standing (internal headphone amplifier), linked to an external keyboard/sequencer or MIDI-CV converters, combined with other bC16's, etc...They were being sold for £300 before they went bust, so I think my price is fair."
Dewanatron Featured in New York Times
The New York Times has an article on Dewanatron and the Swarmatron. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' use of the Swarmatron get a mention for their use of the Dewanatron in "The Social Network"."It was something of a personal victory, too. 'It felt like the Swarmatron was the foundation on which they built a whole bunch of other musical stuff,' Mr. Dewan said, referring to Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who together created the score."

Dupré: Prelude in G minor, Op. 7 No. 3
YouTube Uploaded by ScrollingMusic on Jun 17, 2011
"Marcel Dupré (1886-1971): Prelude in G minor (no. 3) from "Trois préludes et fugues op. 7" (1914)
This piece was written by French organist and composer Marcel Dupré in 1914. It is one of his earliest works for solo organ. Dupré is widely regarded as an organ virtuoso, "a Paganini of the organ," and his works are among the most famous of 20th century organ repertoire. This particular work was pronounced "unplayable" at the time of its composition, and Dupré himself was the only organist capable of performing the work for several years after.
This rendition of the piece was generated by the pipe organ voice of our Matlab synthesizer. To design the pipe organ timbre, we spectrally analyzed a recording of a real organ, and reproduced the sound using additive synthesis. Multiple layers of digital reverb and asymmetrical equalization between the left and right channels transform the raw mono output into an open, spacious sound. Both the audio and the scrolling visualization were created from a MIDI file."

Entropical paradise (with bird call)

Listen to this one in stereo with headphones for the full effect.
"Douglas Leedy's classic composition "Entropical Paradise (with bird call)", performed live at the annual German modular synth convention „Happy Knobbing" on a 200e.
This piece has first been released in 1968 on the triple album by the same name. Leedy composed it for a Buchla 100 system that belonged to the electronic music studio of UCLA. Originally this piece was 20 minutes (which reflects the length of one side of an LP)."

EntropParadise Clip by bartonmusic
"I noticed a post about Douglas Leedy's Entropical Paradise. I've put up this little clip of the original -- it is such a "classic". I learned synthesis from my friend Douglas Leedy in Portland, Oregon in the 19070's on his Buchla Music Easel [Tardis?]. Back in the day he gave me his triple album set, Entropical Paradise as a model and inspiration. I'm uploading this very short clip to show the organic nature of his patches that almost seem to breathe and also have great musical inflection and sense of space. Doug, if you want me to take this down just say the word!"
