Analog Four Demos by highsage

"This is only kick, hat, and the Analog Four... This is only modulating the voice, and not messing with the arp and sequencer tricks that are behind the scenes to make it happen... this is not a multi-tracked demo of one voice...this is literally one voice, played once through straight to tape with no edits or 3rd party fx. All delays and verb are from the A4. Just a single 16 step pattern and a pair of oscillators...running through two serial filters."

Sequino Flexible MIDI Controller and Sequencer

via Tom Rushmore

"Sequino is my latest project with Sebastian Guy, a flexible MIDI controller and sequencer based on Arduino Mega. 16 encoders provide the control alongside an easy LCD menu screen. The arduino's USB port is brought to the front panel so the user can quickly build or edit their own sequencer. This has been great start into hardware DIY and we are currently trying to gauge interest in releasing a free, how-to guide with schematics for anyone wanting to make on themselves. If anyone would be interested please email mu001tr@gold.ac.uk.

Best regards,

Tom Rushmore"

The Mellow Sounds of the Make Noise DPO

Published on Dec 8, 2012 by skrapadelix

"I just wanted to share the softer side of the remarkable Make Noise DPO, the most organic and alive oscillator I have in my rack. This simple patch is just the Noisering into the uScale into the DPO in 'Lock' mode with a slow envelope softly plucking the Waveshaper 's vactrol. The result is a subtle mysterious timbre of understated beauty..."

I Dream of Wires: Chris Carter Extended Interview

I Dream of Wires: Chris Carter, the extended interview HI Q version from I Dream Of Wires on Vimeo.

"I Dream Of Wires is an upcoming documentary about the resurgence of modular synthesizers. In June 2012, the I Dream of Wires team visited the Norfolk UK studio of pioneering industrial and synthpop musicians Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti, founding members of seminal outfits Throbbing Gristle, Industrial Records, and Chris & Cosey, to name but a few. We interviewed Chris Carter about his long history with DIY electronics, modular synthesizers, and the role they've played in his storied musical career. Busy putting the finishing touches on X-TG's recently released "Desertshore / The Final Report," an album initially intended to be Throbbing Gristle's final recording, Carter expressed his enthusiasm for the current crop of eurorack modular synthesizer modules, and how he integrates them with modern tabletop FX units, to create a present-day, cutting-edge revision of his early Throbbing Gristle set up. The music currently playing in the background was the patch coming out of Carter's eurorack modular at the time of filming, an exclusive segment from the X-TG recording sessions."

An Interview with Bernie Krause on Astronauta Pinguim

Full interview on Astronauta Pinguim here.

Pictured: Bernie and the Moog synthesizer (photo by Jon Sievert)

"Since I do not see too well, my world is mostly informed by sound. So naturally, as a young child I gravitated to music studying violin and composition. When I became a teenager, I switched to guitar (when the hormones kicked in) because… well, you know. When I was in my 25th year I joined a very famous American folk group called The Weavers. After they broke up in early 1964, I moved to California from New York, and began to study electronic music at Mills College in Oakland, which was the leading institution for experimental techniques at the time. While there, I met Paul Beaver, who became my music partner, and together we helped introduce the Moog synthesizer to pop music and film on the West Coast and in the UK."

Todd Barton on the Buchla and Sound Synthesis

via groundloop where you'll find the full interview.

"How did you discover the Buchla?

My first encounter was with a Buchla Music Easel that my friend, Doug Leedy
handed me and let me just explore it for a few days back in the mid-1970’s.
At that time I had no idea what I was doing…just plugging in patch cords and
twisting knobs hoping to get a sound. Eventually sounds came. I was smitten
with the ability to alter timbres and create sounds from scratch.

Since I couldn’t afford a Music Easel I instead saved up and got a lovely three
panel Serge from Serge Tcherepnin in the Haight Ashbury in 1979. Still not

knowing much about synthesis I also got Allen Strange’s book, Electronic Music:
Systems, Techniques and Controls. Parts of that book helped but mainly I began
patching 4-8 hours a day.

It wasn’t until 2004 that, having a steady job as Resident Composer at the
Oregon Shakespeare Festival since 1969, I was able to save enough to finally
get a Buchla 200e system. Since then I have spent as much time as possible
plumbing its endless depths."

Korg Mono/Poly with Mods

Published on Dec 6, 2012 by vco vca vcf

via this auction

"Up for auction is the mighty Korg Mono/Poly. You probably know all about it so let's talk about this particular unit:
It is a european version (220v) and one of the latest model (you can tell by the PCB revision).
The unit is in very good cosmetical condition. The wooden side, which are the weak point of the beast, are here in a rather good condition (though there are some scuff on the corners). The only real esthetic flaw are the two wheel intensity knobs that are not original ones.
Electronically it is working perfectly. I have serviced and calibrated it. The filtre chipset (SSM2044) and main cpu (D8049c) are new.

And also I did some modification that improve the MonoPoly a lot:
- MG1 normal/fast speeds switch: add a fast speed mode for MG1. This allows for more metalic and FMish sound when used in FX, VCF modulation or PWM.
- VCF EG speed switch: add a fast speed mode for the VCF enveloppe. It make the enveloppe and synth snappier.
- VCA EG speed switch : same as above but applies to the VCA
- Disable the reset of the keyboard algorithm when switching in FX-Mode
- Disable the reset of MG2 when playing a new chord in arpeggiator mode"

Elektor Formant Analog Synthesizer with Keyboard

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

via this auction

"This is an Elektor Formant synthesizer with keyboard, 5 octaves.
The device has a very clean and consists of the following modules:
- 2x ADSR
- 1x LFO
- 1x NOISE
- 1x Dual VCA
- 1x COM
- 2x VCO
- 1x VCF
- 1x VCF 24dB
- 1x RFM
- 1 x Keyboard with INTERFACE, 5 octaves

In addition, a front panel with switches and potentiometers fitted for a third VCO module, cable keyboard / synth, 3 patch cable 3.5 mm jack, and 6 pieces 3.5 mm metal plug.

The keyboard is very good, the unit is working as far as I can see that, except for the following defects:
- Some Poties scratch easily, can be solved safely
- 24dB at VCF module Q knob (slope) is not operational. The module filters otherwise, the signal comes through normal (normal VCF module works perfectly)
- RFM module with no obvious function for me (maybe not I get it too ...)

For a hobbyist, it is certainly not difficult, they back up and running modules, unfortunately I can not have time to deal with it.

Shipping in Germany 25 euros, which will be 2 heavy packages on I would prefer a pickup, I'll also receive up to 50 km."
