Soft Resistor Ladder Hooked Up To VCO from lara grant on Vimeo.
"This interface was a build used to teach the "Textiles and Electronics" workshop held at the In/Out Festival in New York at The Tank.
Materials are resistive thread (hand stitched) and bronze metallic wool that is needle felted to make isolated contacts along the linear resistance.
This soft interface is hooked up to a voltage controller oscillator (VCO)

Video Feedback Visualizer Modular Patch
YouTube Uploaded by ionraygun on Jan 5, 2009 (previously posted)
"I create live real-time video feedback sets on occasion and this is one of my favorite starter patches for audio visualization... wanted to demonstrate the patch while everything is still in this configuration from a New Years Eve gig.
This example uses an ebay telephone carbon microphone as an audio source going into a Doepfer A-119 input module filtered by Livewire and Plan B VCFs into an MFB VD-01 VideoScope module that is then keyed over a live video feedback signal path with a Videonics MX1 video mixer and processed by a Korg KAOSS Pad Entrancer... wow is anybody actually reading this?
Shot on a Nikon D90 for no other reason then it was handy and my Canon XHA1 is loaned out to a friend... plus who else would dare use their new DSLR for video feedback looping?

Sound of Z8000

"Basic idea is using a sequencer as an oscillator and the oscillators as a modulation source.
The patch is 2 Tiptop Audio Z3000 and a Z8000, all audio is from the Z8000: 2 row routed to a mixer are clocked at audio rate by the waveform of the 2 Z3000 (wich are cross modulated, waveform to PWM to cv to cv)."
M2C Short Demo.mpg
YouTube Uploaded by fonitronik on Jun 30, 2011
"This is a short vid demontrating the basic functions of Dave Kendall's CMOS based MIDI 2 Clock Converter.
For the patch i use the M2C (controlled by Cubase), my new BinSeq (divider/attenuverter based sequencer), Boogdish's simple Quantizer and my dual X-4046 VCO (Thomas Henry).
For clocking the BinSeq i use the gate out of the M2C, the stop out resets the BinSeq. So each time i stop the Cubase sequencing software the BinSeq gets a reset. When staring the pattern from the beginning, the sequencer is in sync again."

The Harvestman – Evin 209 Matrix Mixer


via this auction
"Overview:
4x4 matrix mixer and bipolar feedback grid Evin 209 provides four different mixes of four signal inputs. Each output row can be switched between unipolar (zero to max) and bipolar (negative max to zero to positive max) mix behavior. The module is DC-coupled so that you may also mix control signals this way. An expansion header is also provided on the rear of the module. It currently connects to a m'79 Stilton Adaptor for true Feedback Console operation (the inputs and outputs of each module are normalled together, so a complex mix of a four-pedal feedback loop can be finely tuned). This header will also allow expansion with any other Feedback Console devices to be designed, such as VCAs or envelope extractors.
inputs and outputs:
Four inputs by four outputs matrix mixer Selectable unipolar or bipolar mix operation for each output group Expansion header for Stilton Adaptor +/-12V Doepfer-style power connector.

"ARP 2600 vintage analog synthesizer with 3620 keyboard (model 2601 V1.0). The unit is 100% functional and in nice cosmetic condition as well. I just had it fully serviced and the keyboard has all new bushings. I also had the audio upgrade done - the LM301AN chips were replaced with LF411s to upgrade the audio path. This unit is from 1975-76, and has the 'Moog' Model 4012 filter module. It plays great and sounds awesome. "
Modded FUTURE RETRO 777
"About 4 years ago, Jered, the owner of Future Retro performed some mods on this unit.
Here is a list of the mods:
1. Oscillator Tuning Temperature Stability Mod (Internal, I believe "Temp.-Co" resistors were installed)
2. Oscillator 2 SYNC to Oscillator 1 (SWITCH on back of unit)
4. Adjust overall VCF Cutoff modifier amount (POT with knob on back of unit)
These mods are awesome and greatly enhance the sonic palette of the 777 voice, without losing any of the stock sounds....[especially the SYNC mod when using the Envelope to sweep VCO B pitch]

FL STUDIO MOBILE FAQ
What about Android OS? It's on the roadmap, stop nagging! We have a development team working on a low-latency Android audio-engine and there are many screen resolutions and device specifications to consider, it's not as simple as you may think :)
Does this mean FL Studio on Mac OSX soon? FL Studio Mobile is not a port of the Windows version of FL Studio. It is the product of a completely separate development team, and code, so FL Studio Mobile, while compatible with FL Studio has no impact on FL Studio development and vice versa.
Can I load my own samples? Not in version 1.0. We plan to enable user uploads in a future update.
Can I use VSTs? No, iOS does not support VSTs and frankly the devices it runs on don't have the CPU power to perform the synthesis you are used to on a desktop. FL Studio Mobile uses high quality sample based instruments made from Image-Line plugins and sample packs."

555 TIMER Astable - Electronic KIT

"Kit contains: PCB (Printed circuit board), 555timer chip, 8 pin IC socket 0.01uF ceramic Capacitor, 10uf electrolytic capacitor, 10 kohm resistor, 8 ohm speaker, 9v. battery plug, crocodile plug.
This Concrete kit can be used for various applications. It is based on the well known 555timer IC (Integrated circuit), a very functional completed chip that is used mainly in timing circuits. 555timer IC can be used for two basic operations, the monostable operation and astable operation.
In the Astable mode the IC does not operate in a constant situation, but changes from one situation to another. This is characterized as square wave oscillation
The square wave is periodical, not sine waveform which has the form of successive vibrations with constant width and duration.
The width of the ideal square wave, it varies continuously between two concrete points in short time intervals (let’s say from 0 volts in 9 volts depending on the benefit). By operating in this way, an LED for example, can blink constantly with the same rythm. In our case, in a speaker it will produce sound “predetermined” by the operating frequency.
With a little imagination, using this simple oscillating sound/noise generator, fun devices can be created, as well as using various electrical contact materials/objects as frequency controllers.
Between the second and third position of “P” and one of the two connectors, a resistor or trimmer can be added, for less sensitivity on the connectors.
Changing the “C1” capacitor for a larger one (± 0.1uf) and at reception “P” adding a potentiometer (± 1Kohm), then the producer can use other instruments with greater control – analog diy synth, some modified game (circuit bent), or use it as an autonomous signal generator ++.
Replacing the potentiometer with a photo resistor in place of “P” (2 & 3), the frequency of the oscillator can be controled from a short distance. Hiding the environment light from the photo resistor or lighting it with a torch, a type “Opto theremin” can be created.
Between the battery and the PCB (printed circuit board) a switch or button can be added or even both!
The output to the speaker can be connected on amplification, eg. to the input of an audio mixer, home sound system, computer speakers, effects, etc.
For more information about the 555 timer and circuits you can check on the Internet. Is very widespread and can be found on many web pages." Also see www.mocm.gr
