Exploring The Temple Electric


Published on Oct 13, 2014 John L Rice

"More fun with oscilloscopes! The title is a reference to a series of pieces I did a few years ago titled 'Spirits Of The Temple Electric' and the last one in the series shows how I got the effected look in the second half of this video. (if you pause this video in random places in the second half you may 'reveal' some spirits of the temple! ;-) All sounds heard are from my large modular synthesizer."

"Foppone" - retro House with M1, SH-101, and TR-909


Published on Oct 13, 2014

"'Foppone' (ver 2) - retro House with M1, SH-101, and TR-909. You might be curious about the title. It means nothing. Other than it kinda sounds funny in Italian. Like a big foppo. A foppone. I've got my Marky Mark on tonight, I suppose. This is ver. 2, the original snippet / inspiration was a bit different."

RV600 - Behringer Reverb pedal tested in acidic environment ( with x0xb0x TB303 clone)


Published on Oct 13, 2014 zbr_audio

"RV600 is a low budget digital reverb pedal. How useful is it in electronic music production?

Recorded in one go, mono output from xoxbox into reverb pedal - stereo output into soundcard. Minor editing, no FX, no EQ.

Some internal distortion from z0xb0x at some point. Crackling pots too.

sequenced with Mono Sequencer (one midi loop used throughout the video, no automation used)

+bonus track at the end (ESX run through RV600)"

Meng Qi - Playable Patchbay 0


Published on Oct 13, 2014 Qi Meng

"This is an instrument I made to experiment with 'playable patchbay' principle.

Most modular synth controllers are made to generate expressive control signals in real time based on players’ controls. I decided to take a totally different approach of control by bringing the whole synth patching process onto playing interface.

Modular synth systems usually utilize an interface assembled with jacks, and some others utilize patching matrix such as EMS VCS3. The time and gestures involved for both interfaces are much, and in most cases it is not practical to alter multiple patch connections at the same time.

This instrument has an patching interface with springs and copper tape, not very much unlike a matrix patchbay. But now all points can be patched by simply pressing the springs onto the tape, similar to playing gestures of some string instruments, multiple signal connections can be done at the same time without effort.

CL Tetrax is chosen to take part for sound synthesis in this instrument. It’s an analog 4 voice engine based on Peter’s unique synthesis principle."

"This video is about plumbutter deerhorn ultrasound. thats correct

A little about the patch:
Audio out of deer horn into one ultrasound which is modulated by the pll of deer horn.
Output of that ultrasound into other ultrasound which is modulated by one audio channel of the deer horn.
How says deer horn sounds weak?"

"A Max/MSP patch providing the master clock, and up to 7 channels of configurable clock divisions. Each channel has its own tempo-synced interval, an additional delay, a triggering pad and a random range control, and each (or all) of these parameters can be randomised at configurable intervals (not shown in the vid, just switching between pre-recorded presets here)

Communication between Max/MSP and the modular provided by Expert Sleepers ES-3 & ES-5"

RIP Mark Bell of LFO


Some sad news in. It appears Mark Bell of LFO passed away this month due to complications after surgery.  Many of you will remember him from his classic acid house tracks back in the early days of warehouse raves. I remember their namesake track "LFO" as one of only a handful of stand out tracks you'd eagerly await to come on. He was part of the birth of a completely new genre of underground electronic music that would grow and influence nearly all genres of music; he influenced countless musicians both directly and indirectly.  Mark later worked with Bjork and produced Depeche Mode's Exciter.

Mark will be sorely missed.

Below: Gez Varley & Mark Bell in their studio back in the day via the Anafrog forum.  The image and excerpt appear to be from an interview that no longer appears to be online. Like many artists at the time he along with Gez of LFO embraced what gear was available and affordable and made pure magic with them.


"How did you and Gez Varley get together to form LFO, and what did you use in the way of equipment on your early recordings?

Gez and I met breakdancing in a shopping mall, then met again on a graphics and photography course, we had all the same records, same sense of humour...we used TR 808, TR 909, TR 727, Synthi, Casio FZ-10, System 100 and an Atari running Creator."

Below is TV spot on Warp records and the Sheffeild house scene starting with an interview with Gez and Mark Bell.  I'm curious what synth Gez holds up and calls out as their first.  I thought it might be a grey Yamaha CS01, but I'm not seeing knob section on the left.  The keyboard panned at the start of the video is an EMS Cricklewood.

Circuit Bent Modified Akai S700 Digital Sampler

Audio on left channel only.


via this auction

"The unit is a normal Akai S700 sampler but has been circuit bent to include a 16 point RCA patch bay (divided into 8x2 point splitter bays) and 8x switches will affect any audio signal that you put into it.

Impossible to list all of the effects and sounds, but I have found pitch related effects, bizarre filters, self composing random melodies, rhythmic variations, delays, distortions and many more. Hundreds of sample altering possibilities -to use alone or in combination.

The circuit bent features do sometimes degrade the sampled audio if you try to use too many switches or bent points at one time. Initially it sounds like a record crackling and will get louder. This is easily reset by creating another sample."
