Remco Sound FX Machine CV Experiment with Eurorack


Published on Jan 26, 2015 Introvertmusic

This began as me just experimenting with my heavily moded Remco Sound FX Machine with an added CV input talking to my eurorack for the first time. After a bit of playing things evolved into this and I kinda liked it... so I decided to record it and share it with you good people.

This was created using only Eurorack other than my CV controlled Remco Sound FX Machine and an Eventide Space reverb pedal.

Rough Patch explanation: So the master clock is a Delptronics Triggerman running 7 different sequences. Most of the tracks are being sent off to random modules for different clock divisions. One track from the Triggerman is triggering side 2 of a Make Noise Maths MK1 which is controlling the VCA on one channel of a Cwejman MX4S mixer which has channel 2 of the DPO running in creating the Kick/Bass drum. The higher melodic reverbed pad sounds are coming from the Qubit Nebulae which is shuffling through various chord I played on my Roland Juno 60. This is then run into the Make Noise Erbe Verb to change up the character a bit. The high pitched squeals and sweeping non-melodic squelches are coming from my Remco Sound FX machine that has been moded to have a CV in as well as some other cool tricks and expanded voice capabilities. The Melodic part that comes in at 2:40 is an Analogue Solutions Vostok MK1 using all 3 oscillators and is being sequenced by the Audio Damage Sequencer 1. The Vostok is being run into the Eventide Space reverb to add some stereo depth to the mix. There are 2 snare drums running: One is the Tiptop Audio SD808 and the other is from the Mutable Instruments Braids running the newest OS adding incredibly flexible and pitch-able 808 sounds. The "high hat" sounds were created by running the noise source from the Vostok into the Malekko Borg 2 filter and is being triggered by the Triggerman. Some of the strange chaotic noises were created by running a Make Noise Mysteron sequenced by a Make Noise Rene into a Make Noise Echophon and then into the Make Noise Phonogene set to the constant record mode... Tons of parameters are being tweaked by multiple modules for the highest level of unpredictability and variation. Other noises "cymbal style" compliments of The Harvestman Piston Honda MK1 run into one side of a Double Andore MK1 to create some more hat style sounds. Microbe Modular Equation Composer added some other weird blips and bloops as well percussion sounds. Microbe Modular Equation Composer is being modulated by the Modcan QuadLFO. Mungo Enterprises g0 expanded with Macro Machines Storage Strip is mangling some of the drum sounds in this patch too... I think thats about it :)

Thanks!! And as always, THANKS FOR LISTENING!"

Custom Painted REMCO SOUND FX MACHINE

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

via this auction

A bit Jackson Pollock.

"For your consideration I have an ultra rare Remco Sound FX Machine analog synthesizer from 1979. It has not been circuit bent, the only modification besides the custom paint job is the addition of a 1/4 jack making it ready to plug and play with your amp or mixer. This thing sounds amazing, It utilizes the same sound chip that was used in the Space Invaders arcade video game, but instead of playing pre-programmed sounds, it lets you gain access to the chip and change the parameters to create a wide variety of sounds. It comes from a clean smoke free home. You will receive the synth with a fresh battery installed... Heres more info I found on the internet.

'The Remco Electronic Sound FX machine was based on the Texas Instruments SN76477 analog sound effects chip. This little late-1970s integrated circuit generated square and noise waves that could be modulated to create all manner of bleeps, bloops, buzzes and auditory insanity. It's perhaps most famous as the sound chip used in the arcade version of Space Invaders.'"

VINTAGE REMCO FX Sound Machine W/ MOD

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

"Made In 1979... This machine has just been recently serviced, and is in excellent working condition. It has also been modified/upgraded with a 1/4" mono line-out jack, and mini selector-switch for line-out or internal speaker operation. The internal speaker is working and sounds great with no buzzing. Cosmetically, this Remco synthesizer is in great condition with some deterioration to the paper graphics to mention. The Remco FX runs on one 9v battery for hours and hours of psychedelic operation! The latch for the battery compartment has broken off, and is now replaced with high quality/durable 3M velcro. The Remco FX Sound Machine contains the Texas Instruments IC SN76477, which is the same chip used in the original Space Invaders arcade game, as well as many other classics!.."

1979 Remco Sound FX Machine Synthesizer Toy


via this auction

"Remco 1979 Sound FX Machine with original box. Box isn't in great shape. Synth is super cool. The Remco Electronic Sound FX machine was based on the Texas Instruments SN76477 analog sound effects chip. This little late-1970s integrated circuit generated square and noise waves that could be modulated to create all manner of bleeps, bloops, buzzes and auditory insanity. It's perhaps most famous as the sound chip used in the arcade version of Space Invaders. This is an amazing little synth. Weighs about 1 lb. itself. Battery connections are in good shape, and the battery well is clean of corrosion. This will look great when you clean it up a little. It looks great now, and sounds it too - how often do these come available? To take it to another level, fit it with a quarter inch output. The small built in speaker is loud for a battery operated machine, but imagine it through real speakers and it basically can sound like an EMS Synthi - mean, angry and demanding attention."
