Jasuto Modular Synth: Accelerometer Experiment

Published on Dec 16, 2013 Mark Mosher·60 videos

"In this experiment with the Jasuto Modular synth (http://www.jasuto.com/main/) , I've got Noise node modulating FM of a Triangle wave and a sample. The noise node is moving slowly via motion modulation. I added an Accelerometer device which is modulating LFO FM of Square node and delay time. My iPad is held to a mic stand with The Gig Easy Mount (https://thegigeasy.com/) which allows me to move the iPad around pretty aggressively without worrying about a drop. The video also illustrates that motion is relative and even though I manually move the Noise node, it keeps moving with the recorded motion relative to where I drag it.

Season's Greetings from The Glasgow School of Art

Season's Greetings from The Glasgow School of Art from The Glasgow School of Art on Vimeo.

This one in via Alan, spotted on Creative Review.  James Houston who created the video brought us a number of other brilliant pieces using vintage computer gear.  You'll find links to them at the bottom of this post.  Be sure to check them out.   And of course, be sure to see the holiday channel below for more holiday posts!  Some great ones have come in so far.

"Season's Greetings and best wishes from The Glasgow School of Art for 2014.

This year's seasonal e-card comes from alumnus James Houston. James graduated from The Glasgow School of Art in 2008 with a first class degree in Visual Communication. He works in Glasgow as a moving image maker. http://www.1030.co.uk

The ensemble: A collection of vintage Mac computers, a Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum + 1 and a SEGA Mega Drive perform a rendition of 'Carol of the Bells' with lyrics re-written by Robert Florence & Philip Larkin in the Mackintosh Library at The Glasgow School of Art. Jacket by Ten30.co.uk (Alan Moore, GSA Textiles alumnus 2008).

James aimed to create a piece of Christmas music by appropriating past Christmas gifts. "I discovered that a few had the capability for speech synthesis so the obvious next step was to figure out how to assemble a choir." he said. "This is a process which is based on the last piece of work I did as a student at GSA." (See James' Degree Show film - Big Ideas (Don't Get Any).

Lyrics: Carol of the Bells

HAIL THE MACHINES
SWEET OLD MACHINES
BLOW OFF THE DUST
WIPE OFF THE RUST

CHRISTMAS HAS COME
JOY IS FORETOLD
FOR THOSE OF US
YOU NEVER SOLD

Sunset Reversal & Prophet Acid II by traxus12

Sunset Reversal - DSI Prophet 08, Casio SK-1, Korg ER-1 MKII

Published on Nov 12, 2013 traxus12·8 videos

"A little sketch of a song! Really just jamming on a progression I've had rolling around in my head the past few days. Thanks for listening! Feel free to post any questions or comments.

The Prophet 08 patch is pretty simple. Triangle waves in a stacked two-layer patch with the arpeggiator clock divide set to eighth notes on one layer and sixteenth notes on the other. I was playing with the Boomerang III looper's "reverse"' feature near the end.

Gear: DSI Prophet 08, Casio SK-1, Korg ER-1 MKII, Boomerang III Phrase Sampler, Boss RE-20 Space Echo, Mackie LM3204"

Roland SH-2 & CSQ-600 with Original Roland TR-909 Hard Case

Published on Dec 16, 2013 sequentialx·6 videos

ROLAND SH-2 SN 016741 with Original Silver Gig Bag via this auction.

"The SH-2 is a powerful yet compact DUAL oscillator mono synth from 1979. It has a very powerful sound due to the lively UA726 based oscillators, the sweet Roland 24db filter and a very tight ADSR envelope as well as a few unique features. It does very fat basses as well as thick leads, its oscillators stay in tune very well and track from sub bass to super high pitches!"

ROLAND CSQ-600 vintage CV/GATE sequencer with case via this auction.

"The CSQ-600 is a very tight sequencer with 4 pattern storage of up to 600 notes. Its killer features are the ability to do TB-303 style slide steps and a very cool transposition feature. Have a look at the video below for a demo.

It can generate DINSYNC or CR-78 type sync as well as clock to external clicks from drum machines. It will work with any 1 volt/octave synth with positive gate such as Rolands, Arps, Octaves and Arturias and many others.

I don't think there's a more intuitive and direct sequencer for such gear! You can literally play the sequences on this machine, with quantized CV and no missed steps!

This particular unit was modified to quantize its trigger on external sync (as seen in video around 6min). This lets you transpose perfectly in sync with external triggers!

The unit comes in a nice Roland case from the same era, it's also the original TR-909 case."

::vtol:: cryophone

::vtol:: cryophone from ::vtol:: on Vimeo.

"An interactive audio installation

The Cryophone combines two kinds of coldness in one artpiece: "virtual ice" of digital sound, generated by a synthesizer, and real ice in the form of frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice) that causes a boisterous reaction with water and generates an algorithmic composition on the basis of data gathered from the ongoing reaction.

more info - http://vtol.cc/filter/works/cryophone"

"Dry ice in contact with water sets off a chemical reaction that sublimates the substance from its solid to gaseous phase. As a result, carbon dioxide gas is released and the temperature in the vessel drops drastically forcing gas bubbles to go out of the water. The sensors register these processes, sending data to the processor, which then generates sound.

KORG Volca Keys MIDI Out Mod

via Audio Cookbook

"To add MIDI out one simply needs to attach a MIDI jack with three leads to clearly labeled solder points on the circuit board. There’s almost no room inside for a recessed MIDI jack, so I used some spacers and mounted the jack on the right hand side. This also keeps the MIDI lead away from the knobs for playability. Voila! It works beautifully. Thanks, Korg!"

CS80 Test

Published on Dec 16, 2013 GForceSoftwareTV·84 videos

"A quick test of our recently acquired and restored CS80. There's an interesting history behind this instrument in that it was reportedly given (yes, given) to Jeff Wayne by David Essex and used on Jeff's War Of The Worlds album.

At some point after the album it developed various faults (we think it was dropped from a truck) and was placed in storage for many years. By the time we acquired it, it was in a very bad state so we had synth-tech par excellence, Kent Spong, painstakingly bring it back to life.

This is a quick test featuring the new ribbon strip in Sustain Mode 1."
