Modified Monotron / Semi Modular Tron Jam


YouTube Uploaded by vcs3dreams on Mar 28, 2012

"Filthy little modified Monotron jam: LFO out to gate in, 1 sequencer feeds CV to pitch in, another sequencer feeds CV to manipulate the LFO's rate. ////This Tron is a beast! ////// Mods: CV in for pitch, gate, filter cutoff and LFO rate. External LFO out with depth control knob. Two 1/4" outs, two 1/4" inputs for the filter and a master volume knob. Also added an over drive feature.

via the squarewave parade

"The TeaspoonETHR is an upcoming modular synth unit based on the TeaspoonCAS window sampler. Below is a list of its functionality. Current release estimation is 4 - 6 weeks and will eventually include both euro and frac format [according to the mailing list, MOTM will also be available]. After this first batch is gone the price will be going from 350 up to 399 for retail."

MaxForLive OSC Tools


via Hédi of hpsounds

"I've customized one of the API MaxForLive patch to control Ableton Live parameters with Open Sound Control protocol (OSC). I use them with the Lemur iApp for iPad, but I’ve tried to make them none-criptic and easy to use with other OSC compatible hardwares and softwares. With OSC protocol, you will get much better resolution than MIDI controllers, and network connectivity."

You'll find them on hpsounds.

Yamaha CS70M polyphonic synthesizer

YouTube Uploaded by Gazdatronik on Jan 31, 2012

"Here it is with no outboard effects, or even a mixing board. The left channel contains the upper voice group, the right channel, lower."


via this auction

"It is essentially two six voice synthesizers in one case, that trigger two voice channels each for six voice polyphony. That means it has each single oscillator has its own filter, for a total of 12 filters. The filters and oscillators are the same parts found in the CS-80. Other unique features include:

A sine wave bypass which is not filtered, to get additional bass.
Aftertouch, which can control the filter, pitch, and amplifier- independent of the mod wheel
A built in sequencer with both live recording and step recording
Voice channel A and B have separate outputs
Has a Hertz/Oct Gate output for controlling external monosynths
A "keycode" input which interfaces the keyscanner directly, which midi controllers do exist for
CV(foot controller) inputs for Filter, volume and modulation
The "Yamaha CS" ring modulator
Auto Glissando
Lowpass, highpass, and bandpass selection
String machine chorus, and leslie simulator

This keyboard has had its power supply completely rebuilt. All new transistors, diodes, op amps, and capacitors. Any resistors not within tolerance have also been replaced. This was a result of six year long period of teaching myself how to diagnose and repair electronics. I installed a connector well off of the power supply to more easily read voltages should future service be needed."

"I would never have known that my first vocal interaction with the micromac would sound like this! It keeps telling me 'I Dye'!!...bascally this vid has a pre-recorded sequence with the 'mac, as well as a self-oscillating 'mac filter doing the squarewave stuff- and recorded as you see it is me tweaking the filter with oscillator 3 cross modulating it!....it sounds real heavy I think!"

Original Roland G-303 G-808 GR-300 GR-700 24 to 25 pin Retrofit Cable Kit


YouTube Uploaded by WayneJoness on Mar 28, 2012

"http://www.joness.com/gr300 You know something is wrong when the cost of a single 24-pin cable required to connect a vintage Roland guitar synth system is equal to the cost of a vintage Roland guitar.

This video clip outlines a retrofit cable kit for vintage Roland 24-pin guitars and synthesizers that can free you from the tyranny of relying on over-priced vintage cables.

First, this modification is completely reversable. If you want the option of returning your gear to its original condition, no problem.

Second, the way I put these parts together, no soldering is required to install the kit. Everything can be done with a screw driver.

Finally, there is a huge cost savings for cables. This year, two 16' 24-pin cables sold as a set on ebay for $500. And just recently, two single cables sold individually for $300 each, and last year one cable sold for an astonishing $431.

But, at Amazon.com, you can buy a 25' Belkin F3D111 cable for $6.99. So you can pay up to $26.94 per foot of 35 year old unshielded, used Mogami cable, or pay 28 cents per foot for superior quality, new Belkin cable. To put it another way, you can buy 96 new Belkin cables for the cost of 1 vintage cable."

MESSE12 - Nudesine Alphasphere - Unusual Spherical Controller


YouTube Uploaded by sonicstate on Mar 28, 2012

"One of the best things about trudging the halls at MusikMesse is the sense of not knowing quite what you're going to come across next (collapsible carbon-fibre alpenhorns, for ex ;-) and a perfect example of such an unexpected treat was found on a tiny stand lurking at the back of Hall 5.1...

Adam Place was displaying his brand new prototype AlphaShpere - quite literally, it was finished just before the show - and a very unusual instrument it is too, comprising 48 various sized pressure-sensitive rubber discs arranged to form a spherical controller.

Together with the custom-designed software interface, it can trigger and play samples, sounds and other parameters in a very intuitive and tactile way... and it looks great, too!
