MONOTRON - 1990s WEST COAST HIP HOP Instrumental

- ( also Wobble Bass Extra )

YouTube Uploaded by VJFranzK on Nov 8, 2011

"Bassline and Beats - Monotron. Funky Lead - Kaossillator connected to Audio In. Turntable and Glitch Sounds - Kaoss Pad 3 The first half is straight 1990's style, the second has some "wobble bass" and "glitch" like you might hear in a modern dubstep track. Isn't it interesting how styles go "full circle" after a while?"

Syntecno TeeBee Analog Synthesizer

via this auction

"Syntecno TeeBee Mark III Synthesizer.

The TeeBee is an amazing Roland TB303 emulator. If you are familiar with analog gear, then you know how rare and sought after these are.

Why do they get so much love? Because the signal path was made with the same analog components as the original TB303 so it sounds amazing. In contrast with the TB303, the TeeBee is fully controllable by MIDI. (The knobs send MIDI data as well.)

Also take a look at the Syntecno website."

pNORTNAOMI - Spine : Tremor (Stem)


YouTube Uploaded by pNORTNAOMI on Nov 8, 2011

"This is the original soundscape that is underneath the triggered samples in Spine: Tremor. I recorded the the thunder storm via a Zoom H2n and ads a great dimension to the synthetic sounds. The synthetic scapes were created in Graincube with custom samples and I really couldn't emphasise how great I think Graincube is and I recommend it to everybody for sounscapes and sci fi sounds. Reason 6 proves to be great with Audio material like this as you can route linear Audio tracks all over the place and Alligator is also good for splitting the signal further."

SN 8330


"This unit has 2 custom modifications. The first one is a sync switch that syncs the #2 Oscillator to the #1 Oscillator. This can give you some very unique sounds as you sweep through the harmonics. Gives you some nice overtones that you can't get otherwise. The second one is very simple. It's a "stop" that I had put in the Pitch Wheel. It is actually a very tiny screw that is put in the pitch wheel itself underneath the casing that keeps it from over-shooting when I really "jumped" on it. I had it put at the interval of a Minor 3rd. This is very simple to remove if you do not like it. Just unscrew the 2 screws holding the wheel block in place and remove the small screw in the Pitch Wheel... easy peazy."

Still testing the recording on my camera. Till now the results are quite bad. Mostly because of the youtube compression. Higher frequencies too loud and deep basses lost."

"during the first half, no other modules are used. what you hear is entirely the output of the left side AO (LAO)

the initial patch is very simple -
left (LAO) is audio source, right (RAO) is modulator
-RAO tri out to LAO exp FM in
-RAO mayhem out to RAO exp FM in - modulating itself
-LOA mayhem output to soundcard Allen&Heath ZED R16

later on, the Pittsburgh VILFo and Doepfer A-143-9 LFOs are utilized"

Richard Devine's Current Favorite Gear & Upcoming Release

Richard gets the focus here as he has also just announced his upcoming EP RiSP. Promo vid below.

Update: I should note Surachai's To No Avail was released on October 25 as well. Check it out here.

On the pics:
"Loving the new Dave Smith’s Tempest drum machine. Its gotten a lot of use over the last month. The more I play with this box the more addicting it gets. The two pressure and position sensitive note FX slide controllers permit real-time recording of note or beat-wide sound parameter changes into the drum pattern as you play. Its really fun to record simultaneous filter frequency, tuning, envelope decay, and pan changes for each note. Very expressive and a lot of interesting things happen accidentally with this setup."





"Another piece of hardwired (Eurorack) module that I have been testing but having loads of fun with is the new 4ms Pingable Envelope Generator (PEG). Its a dual envelope generator whose envelope lengths are set by incoming clocks or “pings”.You have full CV control of envelope shape, skew, and ping (clock) division/multiplication, as well as a wide variety of triggering and cycling options (AD, AR, quantization, cycle), and tap tempo for each channel. There is so many cool things that can be done with this module, everything from generating strange new LFO, envelope shapes to self modulating chaotic skittering sounds."

Filter Comparative : Corsynth vs Moog vs ARP ( Modular Synthesizer )


YouTube Uploaded by Corsynth on Nov 8, 2011

"http://www.corsynth.com

Corsynth C101 Demo 4 :

Comparative between Corsynth C101 OTA Lowpass filter and two classic filters , the Moog transistor ladder filter and ARP 4075 filter.


Corsynth is an small company from the Northwest of Spain dedicated to manufacture modules for analogue modular synthesizers.

The C101 OTA Lowpass filter is a four pole low pass filter ( 24db/octave ) based on four cascade OTA-stages. The design is similar to the one found in classic synthesizers like Roland System 700, Roland System 100m, Roland SH-1, SH-7, SH-101, Roland Jupiter 8, Jen SX1000 and many more.

C101 main characteristics Filter response 24db/octave Filter self-oscillate Can be used as VCO ( 1V/Octave ) Voltage controlled Resonance Temperature compensated Two Frequency Modulation inputs Two audio inputs 1V / Octave input

This module is built using high quality electronic components, Switchcraft jacks, Cosmo knobs (the same used by Moog Modular) , silk screened front-panel....

Frankenwhiz Circuit Bent Whiz kid plus


via this auction

"This unit will work as normal with all bend switches off .This unit is designed for live performance, but it also works great for recording sounds in the studio. It can make some amazing sounds and loops! It makes sounds that you can't get from any other instrument! It can sound like a theremin or a spaceman on speed! Great for techno, sound FX, electronic music.





Here is a list of the circuit bent features:

- Get endless bent sounds and words with this switch. When you turn on the bend switch and you are in the right mode,you can get the unit to ramble on endlessly saying random words and bent sounds..

- 1 Glitch pushbutton that will also get the unit to make bent sounds and ramble on with random words.

- 1 loop switch that will "catch" or "Freeze" a bent or normal sound and repeat it. You can change the sound of the loop with the glitch button or the bend switch.

- 1 Loop advance pushbutton to move to the next loop when the loop switch is "on".

- 2 body contacts that will catch or change existing loops or sometimes they will just send the unit off in new sonic directions. Some of the best sounds come from using the body contacts.

- 1 Audio output 1/4" plug to send the signal to an amp or effects or to your computer line input. The internal speaker is turned off when you plug into this input.

- 1 Reset button to reset the unit if it crashes.

- 1 Alien Keypad with overlay to show where the different keys are.

- Works with 4 "C" cell batteries. NOTE: Has 1 Power adaptor input plug but I never used it. Power adaptor not included."

"Serial # is 25506. Unit shows its age, with its share of scuffs and scratches, but is in pretty good shape overall. Has lots of flutter -- with longer delays, it's like having a slight chorus on all the time. Not obvious on short/slapback delays. This particular Echoplex has GREAT runaway feedback! Case is in good shape (but has no handle). 3-prong AC cord may have been an upgrade at some point.

Includes one almost new (maybe used for an hour or two) Tubeplex (Mike Battle) tape cartridge."
