"Danse Macabre voiced with the Sound Lab ULTIMATE using MIDI to CV and SONAR Producer. Produced by Ray Wilson at MFOS Studios. I'm having so much fun with my Mark II that it's probably illegal. The MFOS delayed mod and the MFOS control voltage and gate distributor were used along with the Sound Lab Mark II. I like how this came out and I hope you do as well."

omnichord and rainbow machine _ melting sound


YouTube Uploaded by pianoloft on Jan 7, 2012

"a hypnotic soundscape, improvised with the omnichord (modified by FOLKTEK), and routed to the rainbow machine by earthQuaker. the rainbow machine is a strange effect device, which adds basic polyphonic harmonies from a 4th down through a 3rd up and every atonal pitch in between. a special function, called "magic", creates wild pitch take offs and descend’s, chaos chorusing and other random results."

Doepfer Trautonium Subharmonic Generator Demo




"The Doepfer Trautonium is a modern recreation of an electronic musical instrument invented by Friedrich Trautwein in the thirties in Berlin. It features the Doepfer A113 Subharmonic Oscillator which is highlighted in this droney demo by Robert Fantinatto. Though not "classic" additive synthesis, the A113 creates up to 4 different harmonics from a square wave...you can hear them cycling in and out through the piece. Visit http://www.doepfer.de/traut/traut_e.htm for more info."

Vintage UNIVOX SR-55 Drum Machine


via this auction

"The SR-55 is a very rare rhythm machine made in 1972 by Keio Electronics of Japan as Korg Mini-Pops 3, marketed in the USA by UNIVOX (Shin-ei). It features 20 rhythms, volume knob, tone knob and two 6-part variation knobs for Fox Trot/Swing. Plays great vintage beats (especially Latin rhythms), great for blues, reggae and rock. SR-55 was used by Kraftwerk early on. You can create cool train effects, and the Western beat has a hilarious horsey clip-clop sound (a la Wall of Voodoo). Run it thru delay/chorus effects pedals for some killer sounds. Perfect for sampling, home studio, live performance, bellydancing, animal husbandry or retro gear collectors!"

"Here's a little project that I am offering the PCB for, inspired by and approved for (but not officially endorsed) this small run by legendary synthesizer designer Don Buchla himself. To buy a PCB, simply hit the PayPal button to the left. PCB's are only $15 each, with shipping included to anywhere on the globe. Boards are ROHS approved "lead free" materials and have a silver finish to them instead of lead. The board size is 3.8 x 2.5 inches and they should fit most cabinets. RLPG's are compatible with nearly all modular formats, but work particularly well with all the popular 3U and 5U high modules like those from Synthtech, Blacet, Doepfer, Synthesizers.com and all of the modern Euro format makers out there..."

Orders are being taken until Jan 15th. Boards are expected to go out 15 days after that. Click through above for more info.

Teenage Engineering OP-1 Tape Project Overview


YouTube Uploaded by djthomaswhite on Jan 7, 2012

"16 mins of performance from 6 minutes of tape, and still just scratching the surface of using the OP-1 live. This clip shows how you can use the built-in 4-track tape recorder to store multiple projects. The entire 6 minutes length of the tape is used and all 4 tracks are featured. In this demo I wrote 4 different songs parts and then recorded some vocals about wanting to be a "Teenage Engineer." Those vocals are triggered live over the top of the 4 tracks in the same way you can play an internal synthesizer or drums over the full 4-track recorder.

Sections:
Start - House Track
6min - Downtempo Track
9min - Drum & Bass Track
11.5min - Underground House Track

You can see the variety and scope of creating non-IDM dance music with the OP-1. The internal pattern and endless sequencers were used heavily in the production of these tracks. You will hear the quirks and squeaks that give this instrument a character all its own. These songs were written on my couch, in my car on lunch break, at work in my cubicle and sitting on the floor... all thanks to the power and portability of the Teenage Engineering OP-1."

Luca Sasdelli's Rhodes Chroma Voice Board Test Controller

via the Rhodes Chroma site:

"In the last few years I’ve had several dual voice boards (DVB) to repair, and to use a genuine Chroma as a test bench isn’t a good idea: plug and unplug, switch on and off and back on ... all tasks that can impact on an old instrument, even potentially damaging it in several ways.

Moreover, the diagnosis of DVB faults on the Chroma isn’t that easy, because of the auto-tune software that drives the voice boards in a proper manner, forcing the engineer to take counter-measures to understand what the fault is.

The late David Hillel Wilson's Voice Board Test Controller documentation is unfortunately limited to the control panel, the schematic diagram and a few waveforms; there no assembly details at all (except for the case)..."

Encore Expressionist MIDI to CV

via this auction

via Encore:
"Expressionist is a professional, eight channel MIDI-CV converter. It is the most capable MIDI to control voltage converter on the market. The high resolution D/A converter gives the finest resolution for real control of your equipment. No more zipper noise like you've seen in other products.



The Expressionist offers eight complete channels of control voltage. This means you can connect a greater number of analog modules without having to purchase a handful of one and two channel converters. A channel consists of a 1/4" control voltage jack, and a 1/4" trigger jack. Each channel has available pitch bend, four modulations, four LFOs, six octave transpose, two types of portamento, voltage offset and tracking, and trigger polarity. The trigger jacks can be programmed to be a Positive Gate for triggering synthesizers such as Roland, ARP, and Oberheim. The triggers can also be programmed as S-Triggers for Moog synthesizers.

The Expressionist supports both types of control voltage: Volts/Octave and Hertz/Volt on every channel! The first type is most popular and is used by Oberheim, Moog, Korg and others. The second type is used by early Korg, Yamaha, and others.

There are four global LFO that reside in the Expressionist. Each LFO can be modulated by different sources on different MIDI channels. These can then be mixed in various ways within each CV channel. The four modulation sources can be note position, velocity, aftertouch, or any of the standard MIDI controllers. The Expressionist also has a Roland compatible DIN SYNC output connector to allow MIDI clock to run your pre-MIDI drum machines and other devices..."



Cyndustries Frac Rack Module Sawtooth Animator

via this auction

See the seller's other items for a ton of other modules currently listed.

via Cyndustries:
"Turn the sound of one lone oscillator into seven!

(Your ear or an oscilloscope simply can't tell the difference between this module and a whole rack of seven VCOs tuned in unison!)

This amazing Bernie Hutchins circuit has been admired by Designers for years as a true electronic engineering marvel, (Of course here at Cyndustries we could not simply leave well enough alone, click here for Mark Barton's "Full Story" on what makes this one superior to previous designs).

It's optimized for a sawtooth input, but any single waveform with a slope going into this thing... comes out as a super fat three-hundred pound gorilla of waveforms!

There is even "Voltage Controlled FAT" (Imagine That!)

Many of us have spent years auditioning low pass filters on the quest for that super rich monster powerful sound, well... I believe you will find the Cynthia Sawtooth Animator to be the secret weapon that will push your sound over that crucial edge!

More than simply a chorus circuit, the Animator effects range from creamy lush sounds to totally wacked-out warbling, and as a bonus, there's a cloud of front panel outputs from the six internal LFOs that automatically track the frequency of the incoming waveform. (With two oscillators and two of these new Sawtooth Animator modules, you can spread the cloud of LFOs or bring them into focus together simply by controlling the frequencies of the two incoming oscillators).

The audio output waveforms vary from staircase waves to multiple mountain peaks and add sophistication and raw power to your music.

A slam-dunk "Must Have" Module for any synthesizer!

Buchla 200e: 266e Percussion Patches


YouTube Uploaded by djangosfire on Jan 6, 2012

"Cycling through a few 266e "Percussion Patch" pre-sets I saved tonight. the rhythm sequence was created using the 266e "Stored Random Voltage" section - the 281e was used as a clock . . . 3 of the 281e channel transients were mixed via the 210e then fed into the 266e. Then interesting "rhythm sequences" were saved as presets.

Core of sound = 258v, 292e, 285e (Ring Mod section) and mega panning via 206e mixer (255 used to lag the hard panning)."

David Letellier & LAb[au] - Tessel, Kinetic Sound Installation 2010


YouTube Uploaded by MediaArtTube on Jan 7, 2012

"A kinetic sound installation investigating the perception of sound and space. Tessel is constituted of a suspended and articulated topography of 4 x 2 m, subdivided into forty triangles. Twelve of them are fitted with motors and eight are equipped with audio transducers, which transform the surface into a dynamic sonic space. A dialogue between space and sound is created through this sculptural "choreography". Our perception is altered, as the surface slowly modifies its shape.

From Tinguely's poetic machines to Alexander Calder's mobiles or Buckminster Fuller's synergetics, Tessel combines influences that question the link between geometry, movement and chaos, thus continuing the quest for beauty in the synesthetic perception of sound and spatial phenomenons. Its name is derived from "tessellation", a term applied to the geometric subdivision of a surface into plane figures, also known as "tiling". It also describes a software technique that allows calculation of renderings through the subdivision of surfaces into polygons. The term has its origin in the Latin word "tessella", describing the square tiles used to make mosaics.

Tessel is a collaboration between French composer and artist David Letellier, and LAb[au], Belgian electronic arts studio. Tessel is a co-production of the galleries MediaRuimte (Brussels) and Roger Tator (Lyon), realised with the financial support of Arcadi, Dicream and the Commission des Arts Numériques de la Communauté Française de Belgique.
