World's First HP Scanjet 4C Keytar + Instructions on How to Build a Musical Stepper Motor in 60 sec

Published on Jul 31, 2016 bd59

"You may of heard of a popular flat bed scanner by the name of HP Scanjet. This scanner had a hidden command set within the Scanner Control Language which allows you to send musical notes directly to the stepper motor. This is a tedious method where you have to enter the notes and durations manually into a text file (similar to G-Code on a CNC Machine). I have always used and will always use this method for my Old School music videos however I wanted to try and build a MIDI controlled stepper motor. One day I had one of my HP Scanjets sitting on its side and for some reason it resembled a Roland SH-101 and that's when I came up with the idea for the HP Scanjet Keytar. What a great way to merge both into a musical instrument. My one of a kind HP Scanjet Keytar consist of an Arduino Nano, Stepper Motor Shield and an optocoupler. Most of my Arduino code was readily available on the Arduino website and is free to download at GitHub. Near the end of my video I will show you how to build a MIDI controlled stepper motor in 40 seconds. I believe that maybe a world record :)

Finally, everything you need to build your own musical MIDI controlled stepper motor. (no electronics background required)
Download the Arduino Code at Github

please make sure you place all the files in a directory called HPScanJetMIDI before compiling
Don't for get to install the arduino_midi_library-dev.zip (just search the internet for this file name"

"Now the run down. This was bought from a man who kept it in a case for 15 years. He never used it. I bought it with crackly pots on 2 of them and the keyboard was kind of too clacky. These keyboards always are and it still is but it has been fixed to normal operating clack condition. Meaning the Pro One already has somewhat of a clacky keyboard. This is my second Pro One so I can tell you this is the case. My tech who is a professional and Hollywood's top synth tech who's been working on synths since the 70's fixed it all up. Actually not much had to be done other than those two mentions. It is in top mint condition I would rate is 100 functioning perfect and body condition I would rate a 9.9. If you're looking for mint this is it. Very very small wear mark almost not even visible at all, I am being super super picky and a very small wear mark on the rear. Both are not even anything. Not even kidding.

I have been using it with a Kention CV to Midi Pro Solo II box and it has work flawlessly. Kenton not included."

Roland SH-09 Vintage Analog Synthesizer

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

via this auction

"The SH-09 (or Synthesizer-09) is a single VCO monophonic analog synthesizer with a 2 1/2 octave, 32-note (F-C) keyboard. The VCO is switchable between 5 octaves: 2', 4', 8', 16', 32'. Available waveforms are sawtooth, square, pulse (with pulse width modulation), or white noise. There is also a sub-oscillator switchable between a square wave one octave down, a square wave two octaves down, and a pulse wave three octaves down. It is possible select the noise source at your oscillator and still have the sub-oscillator as a waveform. The VCF is self oscillating and can be modulated by the envelope follower which is wired to the external input. The envelope generator is an ADSR (attack decay sustain release) with a slider for each stage. On the control panel to the left of the keyboard is a horizontal pitch-bend/modulation lever, with pressure up and down controlling modulation amount. There are also two sliders controlling amount of modulation routed to the VCO and VCF, as well as a slider adjusting portamento amount and the main power switch. On the back panel there is a main output, and the CV/gate inputs and outputs."

Phonogene is in Broken Recorder mode with voltage modulation to the organize and gene size parameters from a Turing Machine and an EOC pulse from the Quadra to the vari-speed parameter.
The Phonogene out is run to Clouds in Spectral Madness mode. From there the signal splits to a Z-DSP with Valhalla Shimmer and an Echophon.
Rings in Modal resonator mode and duo polyphony is picking up the pitch cv from the Metropolis and strum from a Turing Machine pulses.
All of the various signal pathways are routed through Frames automated keyframe mode.

Wax - (Re-uploaded with new mix) Yamaha Montage - Ableton Live - Akai APC Mini

Published on Jul 31, 2016 Earmonkey Music

"EDIT: One nice thing about using Ableton and tracking this jam is that I could go back and remix. I noticed that the synth parts I was playing live were too hot so I went back and remixed those and replaced the audio track with the new mix.....Noice!!! ... So here's what is going on: I picked up an APC Mini because I was hoping it would allow me to create more complex live performances. Wow does it! This is a live jam with 100% Yamaha Montage. I recorded a bunch of loops into Ableton then used the APC to trigger them. All tracks were either played live and recorded for playback from Ableton, or just straight played live from the Montage. Such a phenomenal instrument this Yamaha thing.... I love it. Oh and I have to thank Depeche Mode for inspiring the first few bars that spawned this whole thing"

Because early models had a bit lack of brightness, so he changed it for me some time ago.
(In the close up photo of the screen, there are shadows can see. This is just reflection of the room because screen is glass !)

All the encoders, switches and faders works flawless.

This is the fullest model with CVIO analog bus which allows you to play CV GATE instruments.

Used QuNexus to play Rings into Disting with Ping Pong Delay into 4ms Dual Looping Delay with Clouds running Oliverb (Clouds Parasites) in the FX loop of Rosie. Rings is modulated by Just Friends, which is modulated by Batumi. Tempi is triggering René, which is glomping Tides as a bass.

Recorded straight to 2-track in Ableton with no additional processing.

Cat stayed on the floor this time, but wanted to glomp some bass."

Patch Notes #10 - Roland System 1M Hidden Oscillators

Published on Jul 31, 2016 Voltage Control Lab

All parts here.

"Patch Notes #10 (check the description for actual patch notes) for the most recent Pulse Tips demonstrating the hidden oscillators in the Roland System 1M Eurorack semi-modular synthesizer.

Mutable Instruments Braids is the source of the pad-like sounds in WTx4 mode, sequenced by the Make Noise René playing back an 8 step sequence. The Timbre is modulated by a triangle wave from the Malekko Anti-Oscillator in LFO mode.

Braids is routed through Mutable Ripples LP4 to VCA mode, with both the VCA and filter cutoff modulated by the two ADSR envelopes on the Intellijel Dual ADSR module.

The bass is coming from the Make Noise 0-Coast, sequenced by the Korg SQ-1. An uncomplicated routing here, the SQ-1 is clocked by Tempi.

Tempi is also clocking René and the Dual ADSR. As well, it is triggering the Malekko Varigate 4, which is playing back the kick/snare/hihat sequences, via the Dual Borg kick drum setup we've explored in the past, a snare from the Noise Engineering BI and a noise-based hihat inside the Roland Scooper.

The kick and snare are routed through the inputs on the Scooper, while the hihat is routed virtually via the Roland Aira Modular Customizer App.

Tempi is also clocking the Sync Trig input on the Scooper, so that the input percussion signal can be sampled, looped and retriggered in time with the other sequences. The drum sequence is sampled and detuned to a lower pitch.

The lead is coming from the Roland System 1M, played live on the KMI Qu-nexus. The System 1M Osc 1 is set to the Sine FM waveform, while Osc 2 is set to the Synced Sine FM voice. Both are passed through the VCF/VCA/EFX signal chain in the synth, and out to the Mix 4 with the other voices and drums. Then routed through Warps running Parasites alt firmware delays for a bit of extra space.

Kronos Tips & Tricks: 04 Change dry synth sounds with external effects - Eventide H9 Max

Published on Jul 31, 2016 Qui Robinez

"This time a small demonstration how you can modify kronos sounds with external effects. The Kronos dry sounds can be a great sound source when you route them to external effect machines that have different kind of effects that aren't in the kronos. By applying other type of effects your known sounds can sound rather different.

This tips and tricks video shows some examples of what you can do with the dry kronos sounds when you route them through an external effect. In the examples here i use an Eventide H9 Max guitar pedal (which also can be used for synth sounds of course).

There i have access to 44 different algorithms, in this video i show the Shimmer algorithm (which add harmonic tones in a reverb hall. a resonator effect, a chorus type of effect and a huge hall through the blackhole algorithm.

First you hear the dry sounds, then the same sound with the effect set to active, then the dry sound again.

The eventide h9 max is activated through a blue tooth connection with the h9 control app on the ipad. When its activated you will see a light turned on at the right bottom of the effect hardware box"

"People always say how FM and Digital synths sound 'cold' so I though I'd try something mellow and warm. All sounds are by the DX-11. No EQ was used.

The sound at the start has some Eventide Space Reverb. Percussion sounds were Synthesized on the DX-11 and sampled into an MPC-2500. The Clap sound has a tiny bit of Spring Reverb on it from the Boss RX-100."
