papernoise concertodrone mk3 (circuit-bent casio SK-)1 demo

"demo video of my circuit-bent SK-1.

INFO

0:30 mutlimode VCF, the concertodrone features a LP/HP synthacon-style filter with basic voltage control. The filter is pretty overdriven and has a nice nasty resonance

1:00 555-timer-based LFO. I've added a simple oscillator based around a 555-timer-IC. This one can be used as a modulator with the VCF or patched into any other jack for some unpredictable effects

2:00 lo-fi echo effect. I've added a PT2399-based echo/delay effect. I don't use it very often, because it's a bit too lo-fi and I should have extended the control over the parameters a bit more. Also I didn't include a proper dry/wet control

2:45 the paching! this is the interesting part. most of the patch points are taken from reed ghazalas famous guide. I've added a bunch of new ones and including a proper pitch control (using an LTC1799 from circuitbenders.co.uk)."

"Improvising with the loopper and my new Concertodrone Mk3 (circuit bent Casio SK-1).
All sounds are coming from the Casio, no FX have been added (except for a subtle bit of reverb)."
