The Weather Warlock - Weather Controlled Analog Synthesizer

You might remember Quintron's Singing House. It was an analog "drone synth" from New Orleans experimentalists Quintron and Miss Pussycat. The instrument was unique in that it was capable of being completely modulated by the weather. It is now called The Weather Warlock and currently streams at WEATHER FOR THE BLIND, a new website dedicated to the instrument.

Weather Warlock is also the name given to a heavy drone ritual (click through for details) which "only happens at sunrise or sunset involving zero to nine members performing sets which may last from 30 minutes to one year long."  I'm guessing the never ending Weather Warlock instrument is the one band member that continues to play endlessly all year long.

The following are some details pulled from WEATHER FOR THE BLIND for the archives:

"Since 2011 Quintronics – the company which brought you the Drum Buddy – has been actively developing a low voltage weather controlled drone synthesizer. Base station number 1, called WEATHER WARLOCK was finally finished in the Spring of 2014 at the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation in Captiva, Florida.

www.weatherfortheblind.org will stream sounds from this musical weather station most every day and night as a free public service. This giant analog synth and it’s weather sensors will live primarily in New Orleans Louisiana at the Spellcaster Lodge. The entire apparatus will occasionally travel as part of a live band, also called WEATHER WARLOCK or as a part of QUINTRON AND MISS PUSSYCAT.

A weather controlled synthesizer had long been on the books for Quintronics but it took a fairly serious health crisis and a forced “vacation” from touring to steer these sounds towards consonant drone…E major to be exact. Mental and cellular relaxation became a part of the invention process.

This site is called “weather for the blind” in reference to a circadian rhythm sleep disorder suffered by many sight impaired persons. Our hope is that this instrument could be of some help to those experiencing any type of sleep disorder or to anyone suffering from stress or health issues which might benefit from a direct musical connection to nature. Windowless office buildings and crappy hotels may want to tune in as well.
Another future mission for this endeavor is that more base stations be built around the world so that listeners may experience musical interpretations of a variety of different climates and time zones – from Iceland to the Amazon. Please contact rhinestonerecords@hotmail.com if your museum, school, or private institution would be interested in commissioning a custom base station.

Occasionally weatherfortheblind.org will broadcast other sounds, stories, and special events. We will also invite guests manipulators to come and jam on the base station knobs and communicate with the weather gods for our listening pleasure. Thanks for visiting and please enjoy.

This project would not have been possible without the assistance of the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, New Orleans Airlift, Tulane University, artist / engineer Mars Brown, Rami (Ballzack) Sharkey, and the ever brilliant advice of Miss Pussycat."

Modules

Amplitude and Tone Controller

The Amplitude & Tone controller is a totally discrete VCA with simultaneous exponential and linear CV input. It also contains an all discrete, Vactrol based VCF with diode limited resonance. It also has a discrete input gain stage. Careful balancing of the input gain and resonance control sets the mix of self oscillation and input signal, distorted on the VCA input if desired.

There are no ICs in the signal path.

• 16 HP
• 30mA +12, 20mA -12


Complex Oscillator

In the West Coast philosophy of synthesis, one oscillator modulating another is a classic way of creating rich timbres. Voltage control of the modulation and of the waveshape is essential for evolving the sounds from whatever CV sources.

The Verbos Electronics Complex Oscillator is configured as a master oscillator with an voltage controlled waveshaper and a modulation oscillator that can be used for FM or AM.

The waveshape of the modulation can be set to triangle, square or saw, each with a dedicated output. Modulation amount can be voltage controlled with a reversing attenuator on the CV input.

The master oscillator has dedicated outputs for triangle, square and sine waves. The master output can blend from sine to square to saw to folded sine all from voltage control with reversing attenuators on all of the CV inputs.

The oscillators are analog triangle cores with discrete transistor exponential converters. Each has inputs for linear and exponential FM. Both have 1 volt/octave trimmed CV inputs as well.

• 32HP
• 70mA +12, 50mA -12


Dual Four Pole

Like a time traveler from the tape music studios in San Francisco and New York in the 1960s, this dual filter (based on the core of a classic all discrete transistor filter built way back then), arrives to your studio.

The left side is a hipass filter with two cutoff CV inputs, each with a reversing attenuator and voltage controlled resonance. The right side is a lowpass filter with two cutoff CV inputs, each with a reversing attenuator and voltage controlled resonance.
These old school filters will not self oscillate, but they will screech and growl with the best of them. No IC amplifiers anywhere in the signal path.

• 21HP
• 40mA +12, 10mA -12

"This is an auction for a SKYSLIP Base for a Yamaha DX7 Synth.

This is the BASE that the Various ROMS are attached to (using a small screw in this base). It does NOT contain any sounds. I am selling 3 of the ROMS (1, 4 and 5) which contain the sounds (two banks of of 32 programmes each). I thought it best to sell this separately, in case someone's base has broken but they have all the ROMS.

It comes with the original box and instructions.

The base and ROM 1 are the original design, but ROMS 4 and 5 are the newer red-on-black ones. They all work together. They were produced in 1985."

"The Modcan Multimode filter takes its inspiration from some of the earliest examples. like the arp 2500, eml 101 modular and emus uaf filters before the modcan multimode uses discrete otas in place of ca3080s or the more recently popular ssm2164. the result is a rawer sound with a lot of resonance. our version of the multimode does not self-oscillate but does get louder as resonance is increased. it does represent a unique flavour of euro filter."

New Pittsburgh Modular Time Runner Demo


Published on Oct 2, 2014 Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers

"The TimeRunner is an analog clock divider and programmable pattern generator. It utilizes a voltage controlled dual logic core to create a wide range of programmable gate patterns. The TimeRunner starts with a single clock source and divides it down into four individual channels. The output of each channel is based on a complex relationship between the clock source, a clock divider, and a chain of switchable and voltage controlled logic options. The result is a unique and extremely musical patten generator."

Update: details via Pittsburgh Modular

"The next generation of time has arrived with the fourth module of our limited edition line. The TimeRunner is a logical pattern generator. An analog clock divider and programmable pattern creator. The TimeRunner utilizes a voltage controlled dual logic core to create a wide range of programmable gate patterns. Starting with a single clock source and dividing it down into four unique channels, the TimeRunner creates the foundation for complex gate patterns. The output of each channel is based on a complex relationship between the clock source, a clock divider, and a chain of switchable and voltage controlled logic options. The result is a unique and extremely musical patten generator.

The module is available now exclusively at pittsburghmodular.com. Production of the TimeRunner was limited to 50 modules and once it is gone, it is gone.

A Reimagining of the Timetable
The first module designed from scratch specifically for the limited edition line, the TimeRunner was not meant to simply be a redesign of the classic Timetable module. Both the Timetable and TimeRunner modules focus on the idea of controllable logic but the TimeRunner expands on that concept in a whole new way. The TimeRunner builds on the legacy of the Timetable by offering more complex logic routing, better performance and CV control options, and more musical results.

More information is available at pittsburghmodular.com/timerunner"
