Lo-fi Mellotron Style Sampler with a Gieskes DIY hacked Walkman ( Zachteman )

Sound Provider

"A friend lent me a Zachteman for a few days and I took the opportunity to record a lot of stuff with it. The Zechteman is a kind of DIY Mellotron made from a hacked portable cassette player created by the genius Gieskes.It has a keyboard, a vibrato and even a Cv input that controls the pitch and a Gate input that controls the vibrato (Perfect to use it with my Eurorack Synth).
For this demo, I used my Aiwa Cassette Recorder to record a single note with my Analog Synthesiter Moog Werkstatt for 5 minutes and then I used the cassette with the Zachteman to create a melody.
For the last part I added some effects with the Zoia of Empress Effects and I took the opportunity to make a quick Beat with sounds I released on Sound Provider( Analog Now & Techno Now / https://www.sound-provider.eu/ ) with Maschine Plus of Native Instruments, it allowed me to see that the sample banks of sound provider also works well with the Hiphop 😊😉

Voila!

Modular Synth Music // Gotharman's anAmoNo X #TTNM

THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"Gotharman's anAmoNo X is a modular synthesizer workstation with analog filters, digital oscillators, audio samplers and granular effects in a small convenient box. Of course the first thing to do with a modular synth is to patch up some bleeps, bloops, analog filter pings and ambient noises. It's just so much fun and especially lovely in stereo! No samples were used, only the internal synth engines, and no external effects, apart from a little EQing and compression during video editing. As a visual treat you get some of Gieskes' 3TrinsRGB+1c analog video synthesis."

Gieskes Coronaparty

via http://gijs.gieskes.nl

I was watching the news on TV and they were talking about Coronaparty, showing kids hiding in the forest between the trees, some had tie wraps around there wrists, it spoke to my imagination.

Triangle/Sine waves the natural sounds on the ground and the digitaly created signals in the tree tops. (Controlles on the tree trunks)."

Sounds like a bird chirping with spring reverb. Curious if the marble does anything or if it's just going for a ride.

Reverse DC Motor (eurorack module)

Published on May 3, 2019 ggijs

via geiskes

"CV OUT: Rotating right gives positive voltage on the CV output, and rotating left will give a negative voltage, no rotation will give 0 volt.
The faster you rotate the higher the voltage will be.

AUDIO OUT:
The faster you rotate the higher the pitch and the higher the volume will be. But the volume is clipped by diodes to never go over around 5v peak to peak.

POTMETER:
Adjust the range of the output signal. on the audio out it will also set the amount of clipping by the diodes (distortion)."

"We met the amicable Gijs Gieskes, who constructs electro mechanical machines, all for the purpose of making sound. For the Museum van Geluid (Museum of Sound) he brought a row of self constructed eurorack size modules, of course with an unorthodox way of controlling it.

These are pretty rare as far as I am aware. Gieskes' work has been featured numerous times here on MATRIXSYNTH over the years, but the HSS3G has only been featured only once before now, and the HSS2G only three times. There was also an HSS2 and HSS2e. Click through the links for videos of each.

More oddness from synth gear maker gieskes.
In short, the little paper blocks a laser shining on an LDR (light dependent resistor), which in turn causes the reset pin on the Gameboy to activate. I just like looking at it.

"Gijs Gieskes built that crazy analog hard disk synth. which is based on a hard disk drive. a contact mic is used to amplify the sound, which is created with those mechanical movements, you can watch, and the sound is run through a boss OD 20 distortion unit, am ambience reverb (tc electronic M300 and echo park delay."
