"Demonstration of Serge analog modular synthesizer controlled by 4-ledicle Bleep Labs Thingamakit. The video looks terrible because the light was so low. At least all the blinking lights show up."
"The audio from the Thingamakit's audio out jack ( mine is 1/8" ) was piped into into the Serge's Preamp Detector section, which supplies two outputs - one jack provides amplified audio and the other a DC voltage correlated to the power of the sound wave. The audio part was split to a comparator and an EQ followed by 3 filters that fedback into each other in a complicated way. I tappled one audio signal from the EQ and 4 from the filter network. The DC voltage from the envelope detector of the Preamp Detector section went through the same comparator as the audio signal, and this comparison provided triggers powering pulse division and activating sample-and-holds and envelopes which modulated the filters and VCA's. This patch was origionally made to control the Serge using my Delfy Creations Super SS-1 but the battery died, so I made the vid using my regular SS-1 instead. I was going to build a seperate patch for the Thingamakit but I liked what I heard when I tried the same one so I posted the video! I'll still probably made a new patch for the Thingamakit because it is visually impressive and the pulsating rhythmics it creates are very useful for controlling the Serge. I'll let you know when I do. I hope that explanation was what you were looking for, let me know if you have any questions. Also please add me to your mailing list so I can be notified of any new creations you have for sale, and check out my website http://jargmarbin.com."
