"Just finished adding speaker carpet and protective corners to my Doepfer A-100LC9 Low Cost Case so it's more durable for portability and gigging (these are the cases that come with a raw wood finish). I also attached 4 thick rubber door-stops (please don't laugh) on the back so that it can be played while laid flat. The stoppers elevate it enough to get a right-angled IEC cable in under there and also so I can reach under to the on/off switch on the back.

PATCH NOTES (well, some highlights of what I remember...):

Hi-hats are created with the 6 oscillator output of a Doepfer A-117 Digital Noise/808 Sound Source going into the high-pass input of an Elby Designs CGS735 Synthacon Filter (while an MFB Drum-05 Snare Drum goes into the band-pass input). I'm using the Analogue Systems RS-60 as the Envelope Generator for the hi-hats. I 'play' the one-shot switch and also hit the gated repeat switch for out-of-time bursts of hi-hat. The other noise output from the A-117 (2 oscillators) is going into the Frequency Modulation input of the Harvestman Piston Honda. I only just discovered using noise as a FM source which is probably old hat to some (no pun intended).

A clock source is feed into the B input of a Malekko Switch and the Pittsburgh Timetable is 'cued to play' with the manual push-button on the Switch. The Doepfer A-166 Dual Logic Module is doing trigger/gate combining with various outputs of the 4MS Rotating Clock Divider and the Timtable to create shuffled rhythms for the hi-hats and the MFB Drum-04 Bass Drum.

If you're in Melbourne, I'm doing 30 minute improvised performance with my modular this Tuesday the 21st of June at 2:15PM. It's at the Goethe-Institut 448 St Kilda Rd Melbourne as a part of the 2011 Fête de la Musique. Free."
