Knobcon 2012 Performances

YouTube Published on Sep 16, 2012 by raulsworldofsynths

"A little montage of some of the night's performances by Caleb Condit, Low-Gain,Donald Crunk, and brownshoesonly(Nick Ciontea) on live video art. Before I get a million emails, brownshoesonly (Nick Ciontea) is using a custom LZX industries Visionary Modular. I didn't get footage of Suit and Tie Guy because my camera doesn't work when I go to bed early. Suit and Tie Guy did nourish my mind at his advanced sequencing workshop on Saturday though. Shot and Edited by Raul Pena."

Serge M-Class Sequencer-A Panel

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction

"The Sequencer-A was bought from Sound Transform System (STS) about 8 month ago.
The panel is in mint condition like new.
Everything works perfect and no technical or optical issues.

Sequencer (SEQ8)

The SEQUENCER (SEQ8) is a module with only two rows of output presets, but with 8 stages of sequencing in only four inches... Sequencing capabilities include RESET, UP/DOWN, HOLD pulse inputs, and a switch to START or STOP the sequencer. PULSE STAGE SELECT inputs allow triggers from other modules to turn specific stages on... A unique feature is the A-B output (read A minus B). This outputs the difference between the voltages available separately at A and B, a feature resulting in interesting harmonic effects when the three outputs are controlling VCOs.

Active Processor (ACPR)

The ACTIVE PROCESSOR (ACPR) is an accurate, linear cross-fader for either control voltages or audio signals. This module provides an important link in complex patches, allowing the user to smoothly change from one control voltage to another. It is possible to cross-fade between different envelopes, for example, or to gradually switch control over a bank of oscillators from one output of a sequencer to another output. A scaling buffer is included in the bottom section to further invert and process control voltages.

VC TimeGen Clock (TGC)

The VC TimeGen Clock has the left cell "blue" out being an asymmetrical tri wave & "red" out being a 50% duty cycle square wave output which stays constant through the manual "freq' POT range in combination with the "both" position selected w/ external CV -- BUT with the ability to modify the duty cycle (pulsewidth) of the output(s) using external CV source from either the front or the back of the pulse by selecting "rise" or "fall" on the CV source select switch. That way you can create syncopation in the rhythm patches & pulse width mod in the audio range use.

The right cell has DTG functionality, just like the CV TimeGen OSC."

Twitter on Eigenharp Alpha light patterns and light remote control

YouTube Published on Mar 20, 2012 by Geert Bevin
Don't miss 1:30 on for the tweets.

"For the past few days, I've been working on a new Illuminator agent for EigenD that gives you full control over the Eigenharp lights. There are two main ways of using the lights: fixed patterns and dynamic control. Fixed patterns can be stored in your setup and can be displayed at will. The dynamic control can either be done through messages inside the EigenD system or by sending external messages over HTTP to EigenD. These messages can either control individual lights or set bitmaps that will display directly on the keyboard. In this demo I show how tweets are scrolling over the Eigenharp Alpha's neck even while I'm playing on it."

Eigenharp Control Voltage setup with Workbench, EigenD 2 and Silent Way

YouTube Published on Jul 24, 2012 by Geert Bevin

"http://eigenzone.org : this tutorial creates an Eigenharp Pico configuration from scratch in Workbench so that you can play your analog synthesizer over Control Voltage. This requires EigenD 2 and a DC-coupled audio interface or a similar solution like the Expert Sleepers ES-3.

I'm using the Expert Sleepers Silent Way plugin to generate calibrated pitch voltages, but all the principles should apply to MOTU Volta also.

The Pro version of EigenD 2 is required to use Workbench, but it's possible to achieve CV control by modify an existing factory setup using Belcanto and the non Pro version of EigenD."
