Tonnetz Sequent as a Modulation Source

Published on Oct 27, 2015 noisythang

"I am old. My hand shakes, my vision blurs. Sorry.
What is this Tonnetz? It generates triads rotating through a triadic space.
But are these not just voltages? Can’t we use these voltage patterns in ways other than pitch? Voltages that rotate? Let’s try a little rotation.
Maybe a little spreading. Is there a repeating pattern? In the end we use one for pitch.
Tonnetz Sequent clocked by Circuit Abby G8
4ms rotating filter kicked by a couple of triggers.
Tonnetz controlling rotation, spread and frequency."

"Play with the Tonnetz against a drone. Doing a single transform, moving through multiple groups. Interesting how much activity comes from a simple thing.."

Vo - Subtle Echophon (Improv)

Published on May 10, 2015 noisythang

"A very simple setup, Echophon w/VCA in feed back loop, a Big Reverb, a few envelope followers, the Vo Guitar. Improv of a sunny Sunday morning. Everything that's not an echo is the Vo."

Vo-ness with Cylons

"Just exploring some ideas with the RxMx - and enjoying the Vo/Mylett. Nothing serious, just random noises.
Using an envelope follower on the Radiate CV of the RxMx. and exploring the Level and Strike inputs...and playing nice happy diatonic stuff...."

Quick Takes with MST

"Had the loan of some MST modules, spent an afternoon making some basic sounds and overdubbing this little silly bit. I hear George likes melodic stuff, so this has some silly melodies. Really like all this gear, lot's of function in a small package, lot's of modulation and sounds great too.

Plus, kits.. The inverted/offset output on the envelopes is nice."

Slow Nova Probably - Let's be Vague

Published on Feb 5, 2015 noisythang

"Working on stuff, exploring some rhythmic ideas with the Slow Nova Probably. Very fun unit, Probably. Guitar - MIDI - CV - BrainSeed for one set of notes, Rene Probably responsible for the other line."

The Slow Nova Probably made it's first appearance back in November here.

OR Combinator - Synthrotek

Published on May 22, 2014 noisythang·33 videos

"Sometimes a device can inspire a piece. A quick tune using the Synthrotek OR Combinor to combine many, many things. Lot's o'fun. The OR Combiner is eight four-input OR circuits. It's passive. So, what can one do with 8 gates?"

Synthrotek - 8 Step Sequencer Demo

Published on May 15, 2014 noisythang·33 videos

"All drums sounds from Tiptop modules, with some flavoring. The kick and snare are from other sequencers, the gates on the Sequence 8 are used for the hihat pattern. I set the sequence to 7 steps for some added interest, then I use the CV output to mod the hihat sound a bit. The 8 step also has a very interesting random mode which appears at the end. A fun little unit. I built mine from a kit, so the LEDs are non-standard. :)"

Synthrotek Sequence 8 vs WMD PDO

"New fun device - The Synthrotek 8 step. I like slow sequencers. I like slow randomness in sequencers. Also, Circuit Abbey Impulse Drive. Happy fun, beeping noises."

Groovesizer Red drives the Oberkorn

Published on Mar 11, 2014 noisythang·31 videos

"Just built this little unit, thanks and praise to MoShang. Immediately thought of something fun to do with it. The Oberkorn can be controller via MIDI through the binary jacks. A simple chromatic scale in the RED, and fun ensues."
