JingleJoe Z SYNTH Demos


Published on Aug 15, 2015 JingleJoe

"these demos only scratch the surface of the potential of this synth, also the sound quality is a bit low, sorry!"

Update: I don't like to detract from the original post out of respect for the original creator of the content, but I thought I'd make an exception for this one as it wouldn't make sense in a new post.

BAT Synth in progress - kick drums

Published on Jul 2, 2013 JingleJoe·152 videos

"from just a few simple modules you can get kick drums and strange wails from the filter."

joes mod mk3-1

Published on Jun 7, 2013 JingleJoe·147 videos

"This effects pedal is practically a little synth in and of itself. It has two built in VCOs and two LFOs and an amplifier (with distortiona capabilities) and to top it all off my very own take on ring modulation; Joe's Mod."

Cacophonic Oscillatron

"Another sound machine but this one is totally analogue, built in an old voltmeter. Music in the background is not made by the device, I left something on by accident."

Grand Modular Synth

Grand Modular Synth - video demo 1
Published on Apr 5, 2013 JingleJoe·143 videos

"It's not completed yet but I needed to test the loading on the power supply, it's less than I thought! Making noise for your ears today we have: LFOs, a VCO and a VCF."

Obtruta MK1 Steampunk Synth with Crystal LEDs

video at the auction and previously posted here.

"Obtruta stands for: One Button To Rule Them All.
This device is an analogue synthesizer and sound machine with simplified controls, however the complexity of the sounds it can synthesize still remain vast.
It is constructed from old and recycled parts- oak, mahogany, copper, brass, glass and bakelite.

The sound synthesis circuitry is of my own design, the modules it consist of are:
Two VCOs
Two Envelope generators (AHR and AR / Attack-Hold-Release and Attack-Release)
VCF (low pass with resonance and super-overload-resonance)
Modulator / Weird LFO
Internal signal heterodyner
Light sensor control voltage (CV) level controls

Explanation of operation:

The knife switch is the main power switch. When the button is pressed it activates both the envelopes and the modulator. One envelope controls both the VCOs and the second envelope controls the VCF, the far left switch mixes the modulator with either the VCO envelope or the VCF envelope control voltage. The modulator only cycles when the button is pressed and the frequency of VCO2 is lower than VCO1. Additionally the modulator speed is controlled by the frequency of the two VCOs so strange feedback loops happen when it is directed back to the VCOs.
The level of control voltage applied to the VCOs and VCF is controlled by the light sensors; The center light sensor is for VCO2, VCO1 via the left sensor and the VCF via the right sensor.

The center switch and right switch change the envelope shapes between HR and AHR, the two dials on the front control both attack and release time for each envelope.
The round dial with an arrow controls the filter resonance and can also be driven into super-overload-resonance when turned beyond the half way point.
The meter indicates the modulator level and frequency, the glowing crystals and glass tube show the control voltage level of both the envelopes and modulator, depending to which module it is directed.

Lights can be used as control elements for the light sensors however be aware that they can introduce mains hum through the very light beam itself if they are powered by AC mains electricity! This means that you could modulate the VCF or VCO at audio frequencies using a light source controlled by an audio signal. Modulation by using flashy lights has not yet been explored, I implore you to experiment! The sonic possibilities are vast and unknown!

The output socket can be found behind the small door in the back of the device, closed by a copper latch. The socket is a little bit stiff but I have had no problems using it, it accepts a mono quarter inch jack plug."

Obtruta MK1


Published on Jan 1, 2013 JingleJoe·139 videos

"My latest sound machine, however this one bridges the boundry between sound machine and synthesizer.
It is constructed in a modified steampunk machine I made years ago.
OBTRUTA stands for: One Button To RUle Them All."

Octaviatron MK1 demo

Published on Dec 16, 2012 by JingleJoe

"This is an 8 step sequencer I made which can also function as a VCO with programmable analogue waveform.
Video quality is a bit low but I think the sound is okay, the original file was too large to upload (four hours, I'm not even going to be awake in four hours!) so I had to compress it drastically."
