Funkular Synthesizer


Funkular Synthesizer from richard scott on Vimeo.

"proof of concept for a new performance patch I am working on for improvisatory rhythming"


Funkular Rides Again from richard scott on Vimeo.

"The second in this "research" series of videos of improvising with patterns, rhythm and live interaction on a eurorack modular synthesizer. This one has a pretty straightforward tempo and rhythmic feel at its heart but no sequencer or drum machine is used - just control voltages and gates. With an, errm, spontaneous spoken, errm, introduction explaining not much."


Funkular falls off from richard scott on Vimeo.

"Third part of this "research" series exploring rhythm and interaction. This piece is non-metric, meaning the parts do not align with anything like "normal" barlines or note positions. Everything can be modulated in real time and the different parts can interact so more complex polyrhythms can be easily constructed which most digital software, drum machines and sequencers will never allow. Note the change in tempo halfway through, and the "broken" section at the end where Funkular falls off her horse... For the technically minded: this music is primarily constructed with a random voltage generator, Slope Detectors, shift registers, resonant filters (Cwejman MMF1) and Serge Universal Slope Generators (and quite a lot of VCAs)"

"In this video we are running a Mutable Instruments Braids through the Tiptop Audio Z2040 LP-VCF. The Cwejman RG-6 is being used to modulate the cutoff Frequency. The RG-6 is also pinging a Cwejman CTG-VC which is mixing with the RG-6's random CV's in a 4MS VCA Matrix to vary the FM signal applied to the Z2040. The Cwejman PH-4 is used to modulate the depth of FM being applied to the Z2040 LP-VCF."

RC CIRCUIT BENT 'ASCENSION' ATMOSPHERIC SOUND GENERATOR DRONE ECHO SYNTHESIZER


Published on May 2, 2014 djwidow420·306 videos

"custom echo synthesizer from resonance circuits. for sale via ebay. follow on twitter @ RCircuits"

Resonance Circuits on eBay

via this auction

"This bespoke synthesizer combines a pulsewave oscillator, audio oscillator, sub-harmonic generator and echo circuit.

The audio oscillator is fed into the sub-harmonic generator, creating a dense, complex sound that is then modulated via the pulsewave oscillator and sent into the echo circuit

This results in a thick, multi-timbral and highly modulating output sound, capable of atmospheres, droning soundscapes, morphing rhythms and outer world effects

Controls

power on/off push switch

neon 'on' indicator lamp

pulsewave oscillator control

audio oscillator rate control

echo rate control

high pass sweep filter control

level control

1/4" jack output

powered by 9v dc input (9v +tip max 540mA) - a suitable dc adaptor can be included (uk version) if requested. Any ac/dc multi-adaptor will also work.

This synthesizer has been built into a high quality vintage wooden case, featuring copper, brass and metal finishing pieces and aluminium control knobs

case dimensions- H 6.5 X W 25.5 X D 19cm (excluding controls)"

"Had to make a tune after getting the Zoom Q4 camera (overhead)... not really that super satisfied with the musical result, I do however hope you enjoy it. Audio was recorded straight into the Q4 through the KP3+ headphones out... and i say, damn the audio is pretty awesome (no post processing at all) and no multitracking, as always... all is played live.

And yeah, its pretty darkish and not that super bright so the picture quality could be better... but hey, Im not a movie/video recording expert... :D

Crystalline - Shimmer Effects Processor for iPad Now Available

iTunes: Crystalline - Shimmer Effects Processor

"Crystalline is a shimmer reverb/delay effect for Audiobus and Inter-app audio. Create synth-like tones and textures from almost any sound source, perfect for guitar, vocals, synths, sound design and more.

Guitarists can plug their instrument into an audio interface such as the Apogee Jam and get the elusive shimmer reverb tone they've been searching for.

Crystalline is capable of a wide range of sounds, including classic "shimmer" effects from the 80's, unique pitch shifted delays and lush reverbs. Crystalline is a highly creative and unique effects processor.

For more info visit http://crystallineapp.com.

Crystalline features two distinct modes:
PERFORM and TWEAK.

● PERFORM mode is focused around four XY touch pads. Touch to control DELAY TIME, FEEDBACK, REVERB and LOW PASS independently for left and right channels.

● TWEAK mode features large expressive sliders and additional effect parameters, allowing you to fine tune your sound.

In addition to Audiobus and Inter-app Audio support, Crystalline can also process external instruments such as guitar, voice and synths by connecting a microphone or professional audio interface such as the Apogee Jam, ONE, or any iOS compatible USB audio interface.

For more info and video demos visit: http://crystallineapp.com

"Its a one of a kind PAL, composite video synth, that is small, awesome looking and runs of 5-9v DC

It makes a but tone of crazy strobing, morphing and glitching B&W video.
it may look crazy but it has hyper stable sync output meaning you can run it into a projector or video mixer with no fear of signal loss or instability.
Controls include (from left to right):
stability (how quick the frame refreshes, this creates strobes, static images, and slow morphing opacity effects, range: 0ms to 4ms)
clear type (how the frame refreshes: none, black out, white out, invert rand, invert always)
direction (direction to offset the image: up, down, left, right, diagonal 1, diagonal 2, diagonal 3, diagonal 4, glitch apart 1, glitch apart 2, random)
offset (the distance the screen image is offset)
shape type (the shape being generated then effected by the synth: none/black, circle, square, tri, tri2, lines, dots, lots of circles, 80's logo thing)
output: RCA composite video
input: DC power 5-9v (wall wort not included)

Anyway here is a video!!!!!!"

Vintage ROLAND SH-3 Analog Synth

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

via this auction

Note this is the rarer SH-3, not the more common SH-3a. Some info from fanwander in an archive post: "The SH3 has a diode based ladder filter with five stages. The SH3a has Ladder Filter with four transistor stages (more moogish than the SH-3).

The rumours that the version change of the SH-3a were caused by a law suit with moog, are wrong. In fact the SH-2000 is the only Roland synth which used a quite complete clone of the moog cascade filter. According to several knwoledged people on Analogue Heaven maillist the SH-2000 was the instrument that caused infringment of Robert Moogs patent."

TOM1501 Vintage Analog STRINGMACHINE Synthesizer Demo


Published on May 1, 2014 Soviet Synths·11 videos

"TOM1501

• It's a string machine with 5 preset sounds: Piano, Harpsichord, Alto, Violin and Brass. Alto and Violin are exactly same sound but violin is one octave higher than alto, so you can make "string orchestra" sound.

• Sliders are divided into 8 sections from left to the right: Main volume, Vibrato, Section volume, Brass filter section, left manual section, String orchestra timbre, right manual section, sustain.

• This to be like Crumar Orchestrator/Multiman-s clone.

• This have great volume control. you mainly control 5 volume sliders of each presets, and therefore you can mix and blend them as you want. The keyboard is splittable for two zones.

• It have 10 volume sliders for the presets; 5 presets for each zones so you can mix them in any way you want, which is very very useful. And then it have section volume, where you can control "main" volume for piano and harpsichord with one slider, and strings with other one. Also in between them there is volume slider for bass. You can add bass sound for the left manual, and under it have bass' ON/OFF push button.

•The Brass filter section is the filter only for brass sound. It have controls for cutoff, resonance and also simple AR (Attack, release)."
