Frostwave Funk-A-Duck Envelope Follower Resonant Filter

via this auction

"The Funkaduck is an incredibly versatile and dynamic effect. The 'Envelope' is volume controlled, so when the signal you put through such as a guitar strum, drum loop or bassline reaches a certain volume the envelope will flip open and send the signal via the filter (which you can switch between high pass and low pass), cutting off the filter abruptly when the volume lowers. This creates an excellent resonant analog "auto wah" effect which sounds as amazing on electronic drum loops, as it does on guitars, basses and keyboards. There is a good demo on drum track at big city music Youtube..." [posted here]

Quantum Rainbow noise mixing 3.0 "Noise Techno"

Published on Jan 8, 2013 SteadyStateFate·10 videos

"To follow the progression, here is a realistic application of the QR as a percussion source. The purpose is to illustrate the interesting textures and sense of movement from mixing the QR outputs in a dynamic way.

The effect is due to the mixing and envelope settings of the noise dynamics only, no other processing.

Stars of the show:
Steady State Fate Quantum Rainbow - noise source
ProModular CLOQ - master clock, trigger/gate source
Steady State Fate Positronic Transient Gate - transient VCA, noise dynamics (White noise)
WMD MMVCA - noise dynamics (Pink, Blue noise)
ADDAC VC Mixer - noise dynamics, mixing noise MIX 2
WMD MMENV - modulating MMVCA and ADDAC VC Mixer (Purple noise)
4ms PEG - modulating VC Mixer (White, Red noise)
Make Noise Maths - modulating CLOQ SPACE and PTG Step Response

Modded Korg MonoPoly Vintage Analog Synth SN 374135

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

via this auction

This is the one in this video. You'll find one more video at the auction and below.

"This Korg Mono/Poly is in absolutely amazing shape electronically and physically. It has been serviced and everything functions exactly as it should.

The synth has been fully calibrated (tuning, filters, all oscillator offsets...) and the key action has been set for optimum playing and fast triggering. The brushings feel brand new and there are absolutely no sticky or misfiring keys! The power supply was completely recapped and has new regulators, the heating PCB that regulates tuning has also been fully recapped and new transistors were put in to ensure that the tuning is far more reliable than on MonoPolys that haven't had the upgrades.


The synth functions and plays absolutely beautifully and has the renowned SSM oscillators and filters that harken to the Rev 2 Prophet 5!

In addition to the upgrades for power and tuning, this MonoPoly has a modification that allows for voltage control over the VCA. This is very handy as it allows the user to send velocity information via a MIDI to CV converter to the VCA thus giving velocity control over amplitude!

As you can tell from the photographs the MonoPoly is in excellent condition. The metal work looks is scratch free and looks incredible for a synth this old. It has a beautiful shine and has been immaculately well maintained. The wood side panels have some scratches going on but that is normal for a synth this old and it is something that can easily be fixed by a cabinet maker..."

Divison 6 Mattson Mini Modular Eurorack SQ816 Sequencer Demo

5% discount with free domestic shipping until Sunday, Jan 13, 2013.

A simple sequence featuring the Division 6 eurorack format SQ816 sequencer by Mattson Mini Modular & Division 6. Two MMM VCOs & one Subconscious Communications Model 37 Voltage Controlled LFO / Utility Oscillator used as an oscillator for the high pitched sequence. A Juno-106 being driven by the SQ816 MIDI out comes in for that bonky wooden sound. Drums are provided by Tiptop Audio BD8008, SD808, and HATS808 modules. Reverb & Phaser provided by TC Electronic M300. You'll see me change the sequence to reverse followed by ping pong. I then apply an MMM LFO to the CV in which modulates everything being driven by the CV sequence. Note the Juno-106 is not affected over MIDI, which is nice in my opinion. It allows me to only apply modulation to certain aspects of the sequence. I then adjust the sequence rate for the grand finale. Enjoy, or not...

Custom Mattson Logo Knob


via Hewson Chen on Facebook

"a replacement knob for my mattson mini modular. since my machine prints in only one color, i am experimenting with different ways to keep the "M" white but the rest of the knob black. Here, i masked the M with tape and sprayed the rest black, to somewhat mediocre results. probably the next thing i will try is spraying the whole thing black and then painting the M white again...?

also, it's hard to see from the top view, but the new makerbot firmware just recently released (v. 7) somehow magically makes the high quality setting (10 microns) EASY to use, nearly obviating the need for sanding... with the previous firmware, printing at this level would often result in failed prints..."

Böhm Soundlab Multi Module


via Look what I can do! where you'll find the full post.

"About 300 or so were ever made, and at least half of them were destroyed when the warehouse of the german Böhm company burned down. Needless to say, this thing is quite rare, and modules are hard to come by.
Now, the synth comes in this somewhat flimsy hardshell suitcase, and this particular specimen had some unused space that begged to be filled in a meaningful way.

My friend asked me if I could help, and I said "Yes!" - I offered to make a module with an 8-step sequencer, a state variable VCF (LM137000 anyone?), a double CV Inverter and a double "gender bender" (to convert between banana jack and 6,3mm mono plugs); thus making the most out of the available space."

Published on Jan 8, 2013 tlnet37·60 videos

"This is an experiment, all played by hand re-recorded in live. I used 3 Electro-Harmonix effects : Small Stone Phase Shifter, Deluxe Electric Mistress and Memory Boy.
The Alesis Fusion is connected into the Flanger, thru the Phaser.
The Roland SH-101 played a sequence and its audio output is connected into the delay Memory Boy.
The kick and the snare is hand played, so there are many errors in tempo and synchro !

Compasso Synth

Published on Jan 8, 2013 Apps4idevicesMusic·325 videos

http://apps4idevices.com/read/compasso-synth

"HOW TO USE COMPASSO:
Compasso turns your compass into a synthesizer. You select one of 3 things the compass can affect: (1) Resonance/Cutoff, (2) LFO Rate, (3) Oscillator detuning.
Tipping it also affects the keyboard octave (Left to Right)... and LFO depth (Front to Back). You also have a few settings to change your starting point, as well as some rhythm accompaniment on the back (flick up to find it).
This miniSynth is really well done, "fun" to use. A Super miniSynth for iPhone."

Doepfer Dark Energy I (4x) stacked with MIDI Thru


Published on Jan 8, 2013 creativegallerysynth·20 videos

"This is a video I recently found, dated from a year ago. Not proud of it. Never published, because it is rather boring or even terrible. But as for the many questions about stacking Dark Energy's I will post this. No playing skills. It shows 4 stacked dark energy's. In this way you can play polyphonic. However, if every DE has it's own sound, and that sound is depending on which key is touched first, you'll never know which DE you will hear first.. So striking 4 the same keys more times after eachother will sound different by each strike. The fifth sound you hear comes from the WMD Synchrodyne which is connected to the cv output of DE1. The DE's are internally connected via MIDI thru (as you can see none of the DE's is CV connected). In that way the keyboard controls the DE's via MIDI, but every DE has its CV output, so you can connect other cv controlled devices to every DE....(even the Pitch Wheel or other MIDI commands send to filters for example) So instead of 4 sounds per chord you can add many other sounds per note of the chord. This is one of the many advantages of this marvellous semi-modular synthesizer. Soon I will show the MIDI stacked combination of 4x Dark Energy I and 2x Dark Energy II with 6x Doepfer A-111-5 (Modular version of Dark Energy I) connected to the CV output of each DE, so chords of 6 notes can be played with 2 voices per note...."
