Phoenix Modular - ESQ-1 Parted DIY Modular Noisemaking Synth

YouTube via synthgeek13 | April 23, 2010 |

"Another crappy point & shoot cam video. Phoenix Modular is a modular synth I'm building, some parts I'm using were salvaged from my dead ESQ-1, hence the name. Right now it has a cardboard "faceplate" (temporary), I'm planning to use aluminum for the final module panels. Currently it has an APC-style oscillator, a 566-based VCO with square, saw, and triangle outputs, a white noise generator, an analog multiplier/AM device, a simple square/triangle LFO, and a mult panel. I'm planning to add a filter/VCA based on one of the ESQ's CEM3379's, and possibly a sample and hold module.
In this video, it is being run through a tabletop filter unit, which is being modulated with both the Phoenix LFO and a second 566 VCO on a breadboard which is sitting next to the unit, not visible in the vid. The sources are being mixed with a small passive mixer I built as a companion unit."

Phoenix vs. Mimsy round 1- DIY modular synth noise

"Video of the Phoenix and Mimsy modular synths being used together. In this one, the 555-based LFO in Mimsy is being used as a mod source for one of the Phoenix oscillators. Gets pretty noisy at times."
