Drum Machine through the Phantastron!

YouTube via sheepslinky
"A LinnDrum drum machine is fed directly into the Phantastron Synth from www.electricwestern.com (cv control grids).

The "dry" and Phantasturized sound is mixed on a mixer.

Another Phantastron is played with the Electric Western ribbon controller. The ribbon sends a gate to a VCA which makes the second phantastron sound only when the ribbon is touched. So, the ribbon is touch sensitive -- very sensitive.

Visit www.electricwestern.com for your own phantastron and / or controller!!"

Zia Ribbon Controlling Phantastron

YouTube via sheepslinky
"Demonstrating the new Zia Ribbon Controller and the Phantastron from Electric Western.

This setup is played much like a Trautonium. A ribbon controls the pitch and volume is controlled with a foot pedal.

Technical Setup:

The ribbon CV is fed into a Solid State 1V/oct oscillator which is fed to the sync input of the Phantastron. Audio is taken from the Phantastron only and delay is added.
Volume is controlled by a Roland expression pedal that plugs into the Zia Ribbon's circuits (which are on the desk behind me) and controls a VCA.

The ribbon shown is a prototype, and the nice wooden case has not been built yet..."
