Live Eurorack Modular Set Patch Test


YouTube Published on Sep 13, 2012 by Joey Blush

"Testing out my patch for the Muffwiggler modular meetup happening on September 16th, 2012 at The Cave in Chapel Hill, NC.

Make Noise DPO provides the bass, Rene on the sequencing, maths is master clock, phonogene provides the barebacking, Intellijel Rubicon provides the kick, Synth Tech E350 provides the high synths. all summed into a mutamix. Also featuring the WMD synchrodyne, 4ms PEG, Gamma Wave Source, etc... the list could go on.

All done live on the modular, no computers involved.

This is just a quick test to preview some of the sounds you may be hearing if you attend."

Mohave Wasteland Vintage Moog Sonic Six Synthesizer

via this auction

"Occasionally on my many journeys through the Mohave Wasteland and my endless search for old military items, I stumble across something that catches my eye. I don't know anything about synthesizers or keyboards, but when I saw the name Moog, I knew this was worth snatching up. Being somewhat familiar with old amplifiers and guitars, I have assessed that in the right hands, this thing could likely be brought back to life, or, could be a great source of parts for a restoration. The one rear corner appears to have been submerged in the water, which in turn, swelled the wood underneath the shell. When you plug it in, it makes noise, and seems to do different things when you move different knobs. It did have some "crackling" when moving some of the knobs, but I know older guitars can do that with dirt and grime in the switches. This thing was very loud, and I only messed with it for a little while."

M-Z3R0 - circuit bent - Yamaha PSS-30 V2


YouTube Published on Sep 14, 2012 by manufacturedZ3R0

"One to fall asleep to maybe?
Admittedly a bit lazy on this one with the whole video fading between drone and noise all the way through. As always it's just a demo to show a few of the kinds of sounds that you can get out of these things. Although i didn't do the usual pretty melody thing at the start there are other pss-30 vids up here you can check out if that's what you want to hear.

Two circuit bent yamaha pss30's. One running into the external input of the other. Anything can be fed into the input but since i have two of these here at the moment i thought i'd pair them up and see what happened."

Korg Micro-preset Modified by Oakley Sound

flickr set By Oakley Sound
(click for more)

"Oakley Modded Korg Micro-Preset.

When I got this it was only in a fair condition. The case was broken and some original parts had been replaced. Since it wasn't a perfect specimen I decided to modify it extensively.

The mods were designed to enhance the sound not change it. The basic signal pathway is exactly the same - but the control over the sound is now far greater. The two internal Korg35 filters are freed of their preset characteristics and are both allowed to go their separate ways. The Synthe section now has it's own dual EGs (based on the Oakley Little-EG circuit) while the preset voices can now utilise the original Synthe's EG (VAR) or their original preset envelope (PRESET) with a flick of a switch. The original Synthe EG can now be switched between AD and AR modes.

The internal mains supply was removed and so was the little speaker and amplifier circuitry. This makes the unit lighter, safer to work on (useful when heavily modifying it) and most importantly gets rid of the mains hum that the Micro-preset normally suffers from.

The unit is now powered from an external AC power pack."

bending and cranking the OP-1 from Brian Biggs on Vimeo.

A simple little demo with the Teenage Engineering OP-1 and it's new accessories the Bender and the Crank. There are a lot of things one can do with the Bender and the Crank, and the couple of things here aren't even the most interesting.
The Bender is acting as an "LFO" on the parameters of the Digital synth of the OP-1. The Crank is operating the Endless Sequencer, like a music box.

Futureretro 777

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. via this auction

"These units are rare as only roughly 600 were made over a decade ago. Here is some more info about the unit:

'The 777 is a monophonic analog synthesizer with a digital sequencer. Built with the highest quality of components, the 777 is housed in a rugged aluminum chassis, has solid cherry end pieces, with top of the line knobs, switches, and electrical components. This machine is built to last.

The 777 is capable of reproducing the oh-so-famous sound of the TB-303 in every way, but that's the least of it. TheTB-303 has only six knobs and one switch to control the sound, while the 777 has all these, plus five times more. There are 32 knobs and 7 switches to be exact, all instantly available with their single dedicated feature. The sequencer part of the synthesizer contains 28 illuminated keys, keeping all the features readily available for the user to tweak at any time. No menus, no virtual analog synthesis--this is the real thing!

5U Moogerfoogers


via gearmedia

"Putting final touches on the panel art for the #moogerfooger 5U panels."

Update via @GearMedia.

Additional details via here.

"It's not 100% clear from the Matrixsynth post but this @GearMedia Moogerfooger Panel project (GiMP for short) is a personal DIY project of mine that I've been slowly working on (or not working on) for over a year. The panel designs have been 90% done for quite a while. I even posted some initial designs on @Muffwiggler.com last August to some warm praise and thankfully positive feedback. I'm only now getting a number of blank panels to prototype the conversions with. (life gets a bit in the way sometimes)

These will NOT be for sale on the GearMedia.net webstore …yet. Depending on community interest, build time, complexity, and costs it MAY never be a service or product that is officially or otherwise offered by GearMedia.

I have yet to convert one, let alone take on the task of converting many. I would love to be able to sell these as kits or as a complete conversion service… give it time. It may happen but it's a hobby project for now. It may not always be. You'll just have to be patient with me and see what happens.

Happy Synthesizing!

MF-107 + MF-101 + MF-104z + MF-108M = Moogerfooger Evolving Drone

"This is a 10 minute video of an evolving/improvised drone-based soundscape generated with nothing but moogerfoogers. If you don't like drones, then you're about to waste 10 minutes of your life :)

The audio path is MF-107 - MF-101 - MF-104z - MF-108M.

I can't list all modulation routings as it was mainly improvised.

Hardware:
MF-101 (low pass filter)
MF-107 (freqbox)
MF-104z (analog delay)
MF-108M (cluster flux)
CP-251 (control processor)
VX-351 (voyager expander)"
