"Just experimenting w/ the RCD with pulse divisions and mixing them back together. Inspired by JRL (thanks for the inspiration! : youtube.com/watch?v=oI8CkYrcJfc ). I just got the Anti so i got to play with that a bit too. :) Just some noodling around. Main synth line is running through the A-199 reverb. dry and reverb out, anti and pokey are then mixed together using the Unify by Circuit Abbey. Headphone out ran direct to camera."

Diamond: MIDI Arpeggiator in Ruby -- Live coding in IRB from Ari Russo on Vimeo.
"Diamond is a cross-platform MIDI arpeggiator that I created in Ruby.
This is a very basic screencast demonstration of using Diamond in IRB. I adjust some of the arpeggiator controls and create two more arpeggiators and sync them to the first. Here's a tutorial which explains what's happening in further depth: bit.ly/lh4YFh
Sound begins around 40 seconds in.

Studiomaster Modulation Source
via this auction"This is the SF805 Modulation Source module from the Studiomaster Studiofex system. Studiomaster described the Studiofex as "a fully modular studio effects system which brings together both the features and the performance which today's music demands". The module is 4U high and as far as I can tell utilizes +/- 15 volts DC though it may work with other voltages. It comes in the original foam padded box, it has the original manual with full installation and operating instructions and there is also a hand drawn wiring diagram that may be of use for integrating into your system. I bought this unit to put in a modular system I was building but it never came to fruition, so I have no explicit knowledge of the module in question. Thus it is sold as-is, no returns.
More info on the Studiofex system, including manuals can be found here:
which includes the following description:
The SF805 Modulation Source is capable of producing not only regular, cyclic voltages with all the smoothness of a sinewave, bit also other waveshapes, trigged single sweeps, single controlled modulation depth and even signal envelope following modulation.
Two outputs are provided, each with an independent DEPTH control so that two devices can be modulated simultaneously."

RL Music Now Touch Digital Controllers Releases ImpOSCar Controller
"RL Music has been operating for 10 years as a specialist vintage synthesizer dealership and also a dealer for these amazing companies; Buchla, Mellotron, MacBeth, Kenton and Metasonix. Together, with Kent Spong of KSR - the restoration specialists, we have been able to breath life back into thousands of rare and valuable vintage instruments and work in a business that has represented a passion for us for over 35 years.
Through the work we have been involved in we have met many people around our small planet and the whole experience has been nothing short of wonderful. We would like to thank everyone for their support, custom and friendship.
Times have changed for everyone around the world in the last couple of years and we needed to move with them so it has been necessary to scale down the RL Music and KSR businesses to concentrate on an exciting new direction. The 'old' businesses still exist within Kent and I of course but it's time to move on...and move on we have.
With effect from today - the 4th July 2011, we have great pleasure in announcing the launch of our new business:
Touch Digital Controllers Ltd.
Touch Digital Controllers is a music instrument manufacturer and we launch with our first product - the impOSCar2 Controller. We have developed this hand-crafted, and quite unique instrument, working in association with the world-renown music software company - GForce Software Ltd. Many of you will know GForce for their stunning virtual analogue instruments: Minimonsta, M-Tron Pro, Oddity, Virtual String Machine and the impOSCar.
Our impOSCar2 Controller launch coincides with the GForce launch of their eagerly awaited release of the impOSC2 Software Instrument, full details of which can be found here: http://www.gforcesoftware.com/
If you would like to know more about our new venture, and why we are so excited to tell the world about it, then please visit our new website:
www.TouchDigitalControllers.co.uk
Our website will tell you all about our new company, our philosophy. why we are making the impOSCar2 Controller and why its so important to us and, we believe to musicians also.
We have a dedicated Facebook page and twitter feed which you can easily find through the Touch Digital website so you are warmly invited to join us. You are also most welcome to email me back for more information or just call me for a chat.
Thank you for your time reading this announcement, we know how busy everyone is these days, but if you have a spare moment then please take a look at what’s been keeping us busy for the last 8 months - we think you will like what you see!"
Update: some trivia for the archives and synth history: CustomSynth helped out and did the graphics for the control panels.

Memory Geist - 'Benthos'
"Memory Geist - 'Benthos' (DiNDDL09)DiNDDL09| Release date 04/07/11
"Benthos" is the second album by Memory Geist, the collaborative project of Steve Law (of Zen Paradox, Starseed Transmission & Black Cab) and Bakis Sirros (of Parallel Worlds & Interconnected). Their first album "Funereal Cavern" was released in 2007 by the well respected Italian experimental label Musica Maxima Magnetica.
The creation of "Benthos" has been a long process initiated in mid-2007 when Law visited Sirros in his home town of Athens, Greece and the duo recorded some initial material together comprising a variety of soundscapes, sequences, analogue rhythms & organic atmospheres. On his return to Melbourne in Australia, Law sculpted this raw material into a set of 6 tracks which were augmented by further soundscapes, rhythms and arrangement ideas sent across to him by Sirros. The gestation of "Benthos" took 4 years in total and has resulted in the birth of a complex and fascinating ambient electronica album. The pieces range from dark, industrial rhythmic tracks to cosmic style slabs of ambience and showcase the duos use of modular analogue synths alongside computer software manipulation.
info and clips here:
http://www.din.org.uk/din/node/388
the album will soon also be available as a limited edition (100 copies) digipack CD-R from Alio Die's label Hic Sunt Leones.
(for the gear-heads: this album is full of various modular and analogue synths, including ARP 2600, Doepfer A100 / eurorack, RS-Integrator, Serge modular, Technosaurus Selector system D, Metalbox/CGS, Korg MS20, MS50, Curetronic modular, Roland System-100m, Trident, PE-2000, Univox SR95, etc, etc... )"You might notice the image to the left is a Buchla, but it is not on the list. Bakis tells me it is actually new and not on the release, but will be used in future releases.
