MMTA SYNTHFEST - Lorne Hammond and His Sound Makers

Lorne Hammond showing his myriad of sound makers at the MMTA Summer SYNTHFEST.

Featured: Roland MC-202, Teenage Engineering OP-1, Brian Castro modded x0xio x0xb0x, Allessandro Cortini & The Harvestman's SuONOIO, the vxxy chiptune synth, original Sequentix P3 sequencer, Paul Maddox aka Vacoloco's Gorf sequencer, original STEIM cracklebox, Tom Bugs' aka Bugbrand Board Weevil, and various Mutable Instruments Shruthis. Note each Shruthi is different. Lorne picked up the larger red Shruthi featuring three different Shruthi's from a DJ on a farm in South Africa.

Also worth noting: MATRIXSYNTH T-Shirt!

Update via Lorne: "The P3 Sequentrix was made in the uk by Colin Fraser who is producing the cirkilon now and I bought of ebay from a south African dj on a farm.

The shruthi-xt is a design by Frank [mailto:daniels@daniels-cards.de] aka on forums and flickr as fcd72. He runs a card company in Germany.

Frank designed the programmer knob system and did the case layout as a kit. He has done dozens of wild kits in various colours and designs.

The shruthi’s pcb designs and code and many different filter designs are the work of Olivier Gillet in Paris.

Frank’s shruthi-xt box holds 3 filters, I controller and a power regulator. The ver .96 code allows them to cascade in series or parallel.

Olivier took mutable into a small but fully registered company and took the big plunge. He has 800+ kits out there working.

He’s a friend of Todd Bailey (WTPA) and also wrote the code for the Dr Otto biscuit to turn it into a synth."

श्रुति-1 (Shruthi-1) Monosynth assembly

श्रुति-1 (Shruthi-1) Monosynth assembly from Justin on Vimeo.

"Assembly and test of the श्रुति-1 monosynth from Mutable Instruments. Here is what MI has to say about it:
The Shruthi-1 is a hybrid monosynth, combining the warmth of real analogue filters with the edginess and synthesis possibilities (FM, wavetable oscillators, modulation matrix, sequencing, full MIDI implementation) of digital synthesizers. Its hardware design is deceptively simple — optimized for DIY assembly, not for large-scale manufacturing — but don’t be fooled, its sonic range is wide! Sometimes grungily digital like a PPG-Wave, fat and funky like a SH-101, videogame-y like a Commodore 64, weird and warm like an ESQ-1 ; but more often than not, truly original.

Folks with quick eyes will notice that the video shows both the CEM3379 & SMR-4 Filter board and two different digital control boards. I've built a few of these devices over the past months and ended up using the best bits of video from each build. So yea, don't get your panties in a knot about it.

The music is by a currently unnamed project I'm happy to be a part of. For the purposes of dissemination it needs a name, if only a temporary one, so I'm calling this one Enchanted Forest. It's a bit of an inside joke for the Pacific Northwest. Anyway, you can hear the Shruthi with the SMR-4 filter in full effect all over this recording doing what it does best: sounding awesomely weird."

Mutable Instruments Shruthey Patch Editor and Sequencer

via Mutable Instruments

"Here’s some notes:

- As you may know, not all the Shruthi-1 parameters are reachable by CC/NRPN so some need to be updated by sending a SysEx dump of the patch. Those blocks have the “no cc” label and they won’t update until small delay after you stop moving the knob. That is, they’re not “real time.”

- Currently works with the LPF-only (SMR-4 and ??) and SVF filter boards.

- The Arp and Seq settings save with the patch, which is not how it works on the Shruthi-1 (so I labelled those blocks with “*”). I thought this would be convenient, and it is, but after using it I realize it can be annoying sometimes. I’ll add a switch or something to allow you control whether that gets sent when you load a patch.

- Any presets you save in the Max patch now should probably be transferable to a future version, but since it’s new I can’t promise 100% I won’t do something to mess that up.

- Patches sent to the Shruthi-1 are not saved! They are just in temporary memory. If you wan’t to permanently store it on the Shruthi-1 you do it on the synth in the usual way."

Shruthi-1 digital / analogue hybrid synthesizer

via this auction
"This is a digital/analogue hybrid monophonic synth module produced by Mutable Instruments in kit form. The filter is the SMR-4 variety (see their website). The oscillator section is digital (with onboard mini sequencer and appregiator) but the filter and VCA's are analogue. The whole thing is programmable via 4 knobs, an encoder and 6 press buttons.... it is controlled via midi. There is also an audio-in socket so that external signals can be processed by the filter and VCA's. Mutable instruments release this as a kit of parts every few months and usually offer a number of ready-made modules at a similar price to this buy-it-now for those who don't like soldering. I built this one from a kit a few weeks ago and it functioned perfectly from the first power-up. (My soldering is of a good standard by the way!)."

Indeed, its assembly doesn’t require any specialized equipment, besides a screwdriver, cutters, a soldering iron and two hands..."

"We are a new band called "Loved by Ghosts" which uses almost entirely DIY synthesizers that we built ourselves.

In "Sonic Hysteria", you would certainly recognize the midibox SID while the bass is Monomachine.

In “Girl Go” the bass line is Avr-X Synthesizer, various FX is midibox FM and the lead Oberheim OB-12.

In the other songs - that we will be posting soon - we use: ASM-2, Mutable Instruments Shruthi-1, Pixie (Wasp clone), Monowave(X), MFOS Soundlab, SUB-COMMANDER Guitar Synth, Weird Sound Generator, Drone Lab V2, AVR synth, Gorf Sequencer.
For guitar and voice we use various filters from the web (wasp filter clone, steiner, lm13700 filter, ssm2044, polivoks), fx's built with boards from Jürgen Haible (Frequency Shifter FS-1A, Triple Chorus, Krautrock Phaser and 20-pole Phaser), many vintage Russian fx units, and many electro-Harmonix stompboxes.
All of them are sequenced from an Elektron Monomachine (we love it !!!) and an Electribe sampler is used for drums, created with the same synths.
You will recognize some of them in the pictures. More to come on our Facebook page.

We want to thank you… Thorsten Klose, Laurie Biddulph, Paul Maddox, Ray Wilson, Jürgen Haible, Johan Severinsson and Jonas Karlsson, Olivier Gillet, Peter Edwards, Jarek Ziembicki and to MATRIXSYNTH. Without your projects,our music would be empty.
And special thanks to our pet Speakjet, Wof, Wof.
If you enjoyed our music, follow us on Facebook, YouTube and SoundCloud, there's a lot more to come."

"this is an accelerometer chip in a ball that controls an rgb led and also outputs control voltages to a fantastic little synth called the shruti-1 (available as a kit).
I've also added a softpot which is controlling the mix between vco1 and vco2."
