Ninstrument Modified Pittsburgh Modular Oscillator


via Ninstrument:

"Take a good Eurorack Oscillator and with a couple of key modifications make it a great performance Oscillator! First remove the single turn potentiometer that controls frequency and replace it with a high precision ten turn potentiometer. This gives you much finer control than even the existing fine tune knob. Speaking of which, since the primary potentiometer is now much finer than the ‘fine’ tune knob, replace it with a +/- Octave switch. This makes it easier to move up or down an octave depending how you have set the frequency knob.

You can set the amount you want to move up or down by adjusting these added trimpots for the +/- octave switch.

This original idea was from Darwin Grosse (20 Objects) who likes to perform as often as he can and uses his Eurorack modular primarily when he does perform. He told me ‘I think there is enough room to fit a ten turn pot in this Pittsburgh Oscillator.’ After carefully taking one and cutting out the front PCB I realized there was. I quickly made a couple for him and one for myself and now I must say I am spoiled and wished more Eurorack modules had these ten turn pots!"

Serge Robot Speak


Published on Aug 8, 2014 tibetronica

"モジュラー・シンセがおしゃべりをしているパッチを動画でとらえました。電圧が回路を­直接制御するアナログ・シンセですが、指令系は複雑に絡まり合っています。ひとつのツ­マミをいじると全体に影響が及び、時として制御不能にも。反対に、何もせずに待ってい­るとおもしろいことが起きることも、ままあります。

モジュラー・シンセに関するコラムも連載中です。

In English: The Serge patch is talking. Only one VCFQ was used in lo-pass mode. The formants are brought about by a VCO contributing to the rise and fall of the cut-off. The dribbling logic of enunciation was put together with the Smooth and Sample/Hold modules, in tandem with a Quad Slope. By constantly changing the attack portion of the ADSR, more humanoid tones were achieved."

Interspecific's first prototype


Interspecific's first prototype from LessNullVoid on Vimeo.

"more information at http://interspecifics.cc"


"electromagnetic phenomena transducer that makes use of bio and geo sensors to create a sonification (frequency) and visualization (cymatics) from different radiant energy inputs to allow for an interspecific prosthesis that could provide the basis for the creation of a new developmental synesthetic model of perception."

Note this is the first Interspecific post. There have been previous LessNullVoid posts featuring plants as an organic control source for synthesis.

"Thanks guys for putting up this challenge on the 'Korg Volca series' facebook page. This is my contribution. I fumble around a little before a pattern emerges, but that's kinda the idea I guess :)

I hope you'll enjoy it!

Use

Anne Graham at Serge L.A. in the Early Days


via Anne Graham on Facebook

"‪#‎tbt‬ Way back, Throw back Thursday... Serge Modular Music droids

Had so much fun at Serge's in L.A."

Side note: this is the third person I've come across that was at the shop back in the 1970s. I actually used to walk by the shop when I was just a little kid. I had no idea of the magic and history being created there.

Update: for those curious, the shop was on the third floor here off of Santa Monica Blvd. & Western Ave.

Update2: anyone know what's to the right of the Oberheim Programmer in the second pic?

Update3 via Kevin Braheny Fortune in the Facebook thread linked above: "I'm not positive this is the one, but I built a custom programmer as per Serge's design for Pete Robinson that had small edge card plug-ins that had a series of dip switches on them to control SEMs. SEMs with a bunch of custom analog synths in a big panel that I also built that utilized an early Armand Pascetta multi-voice keyboard."  According to Kevin, this might have been around 1977.

Update4: Added a note to this post on early programmable synths.

"To auction comes my original Roland TB 303 with the power supply. It is fully functional and not tapped, rarely used in the last 20 years. Of course, non-smoking unit!

The buttons are all very smooth, controls for tempo and volume are easy to turn. Controller for Pattern Group and Mode snap clean. Controller for the six frequencies controls easy going

The battery compartment as seen in the picture is super clean."

T-t-talk to me - An Echophon, Planar and Ribbonz demo


Published on Feb 8, 2014 HardScienceAV

"I just got the Make Noise Echophon and decided to give it a go. This is the result of my first patch. Thought I'd make a video of my experience :)

Here's a basic breakdown: The Flame Talking Synth is going into the Echophon input. I took the aux out of the Echophon into the FoH Sound of Shadows and fed both Echophon and SOS outputs into the Fontronik MH01. There's a lot of modulation going on. The Talking Synth has all of its parameters controlled by the Monde Ribbonz (the ribbon controller at the bottom that you've never seen before) and the Echophon has most of it's parameters controlled by the Intellijel Planar joystick and the ZBK (the big knob in the middle!).

The video was then processed with the LZX Industries video synth.

Audiothingies P6 - Polychain mode setup

"This video explains how to setup 2 Audiothingies P6 in polychain mode to get a 12-voice monster polysynth.
This feature is available from firmware 1.01

What the video doesn't tell: unlike other synths, you don't need to have the same sounds stored on both units, the master P6 sends all parameters to the slave P6, and not program changes."
