1/25/26 York TT4 & rBPF + Zerosum 5654 + MFB OSC-3 ADSR LFO + Ladik S-143 + OAM Time Machine +
video upload by Cfpp0
"1/25/26 Zerosum Inertia 5654 + MFB OSC-3 & dual ADSR & dual LFO + York Modular TT4 & rBPF + OAM Time Machine + Ladik S-143 + ALM Pamela’s New Workout + Alesis MIDIVERB II + Peavey 1300 + Paia 6740 + CXM 1978
We got some resonant filters by York Modular and this was a first test. The Ladik S-143 sequences the MFB OSC-3. The MFB oscillators 1 and 2 run through the TT4 into the right side of the Zerosum Inertia 5654 dual VCA, which is modulated by the MFB dual ADSR, and then through the OAM Time Machine. Oscillator 3 runs through the rBPF into the left side of the 5654, modulated by the MFB dual LFO and dual ADSR, and then through the Peavey 1300 delay (panned left). All of the signals have reversed reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II, spring reverb from the Paia 6740, and stereo reverb from the CXM 1978."

1/17/26 (Comparison 3) Metasonix R-54 + Zerosum Inertia ZI54 + CXM 1978
video upload by Cfpp0
"This is the third comparison video I’ve made so far with the Metasonix R-54 and the Zerosum Inertia ZI54, by playing them simultaneously. For the first three minutes, I’m just turning the drive knobs on the modules to hear the differences, how it affects the timbre and even the pitch. After 3:00, I start messing with the resonance knobs. In this video, the ZI54 drive knob is much more aggressive, particularly when fully clockwise. The R-54 is panned a bit left on the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer and the ZI54 is panned a bit right. Both have some stereo reverb blended on the CXM 1978."

"1/17/26 Buchla 258 & 244 & 281 292 + Eardrill Morphun + Synthetic Sound Labs 3650 + JRB VCBF + Peavey DDL-3 + CXM 1978
The Eardrill Morphun is sequencing the Buchla 258d sine/square wave oscillator. I’m playing the Synthetic Sound Labs 3650 manually to control the pitch of the 258d sine/saw wave. Eventually I insert a cycle from the 281 into the Morphun reset jack, which randomizes and disrupts the sequential loop. The sine/saw VCO runs through the 292r, with the gated sine/saw signal panned center on the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer, while the gated sine/square signal runs through the JRB VCBF filter, modulated by the 281, then through the 292 into the Peavey DDL-3 delay, with the direct output panned slightly right on the Mackie and the delayed output panned left. All three signals have some stereo reverb blended on the CXM 1978."

1/16/26 (first patch) Lorre Mill Double Knot v2 + Roland RE-301 + Alesis MIDIVERB II + CXM 1978
video upload by Cfpp0
"We just got this used. It’s heavier than expected, and the recycled plastic surface has a nice texture. With no labels or logos it will take some time to memorize how to operate it, but here’s a first attempt—some quasi-Buchla based on the quick-start patch in the manual. The Double Knot is panned center, with a reversed reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II panned a bit right, the Roland RE-301 tape echo panned a bit left, and a stereo reverb on all of them from the CXM 1978."

1/1/25 Roland TR-606 & RE-301 + Dytronics Cyclosonic Panner + Eventide H3000b
video upload by Cfpp0
"First video of 2026. We sold so much stuff in the past few years and shifted as much stuff around that some of the patch bays were in need of an audit. This video was a test of several different pieces of outboard gear that have been rewired to consolidate the bays, including the very rare Dytronics Cyclosonic Panner. It is a lot like the ADR Pan Scan, but with more options for movement, plus two inputs and four outputs. The Roland TR-606 is clocked by Pamela’s anew Workout at 140, and the TR-606 output is multiplied, with one copy going to the A input on the Cyclosonic Panner and the other copy going to the Roland RE-301 with the dry signal cancelled. The delayed RE-301 signal goes to the B input on the Cyclosonic Panner, with three of its outputs going to the Mackie Onyx 1640. Those signal are all panned differently, and sent to an aux running to the Eventide H3000B for some pitch shifting."

12/28/25 ARP 1623 + ElectroComp EML 200 + Peavey DDL-3 + CXM 1978
video upload by Cfpp0
"I think this is the first time I sequenced the EML 200 with the ARP 1623. The sequencer is 1 volt per octave and the synthesizer is 1.2 volts per octave, but it still works. Here the gate bus 1 on the ARP is triggering the envelope on the EML, which controls the VCA both VCOs are running through. That signal then runs through the EML spring reverb into the Peavey DDL-3 delay to the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer, where the dry is panned left and the wet is panned center. Both have stereo reverb blended on the CXM 1978."

This was a test from earlier this month of a rack we installed above the Metasonix D-2000. There are two Make Noise Maths and a Gieskes Starving Binary triggering the D-2000. The D-2000 is heard as is, but it is also heard through the DBX 119, which gates the signal, and also gates a drone from the ElectroComp EML 200, which is fed through the DBX 119 at the same time. The Roland SH-101 is played manually, through a Peavey 1310 delay into a Yamaha EM-100 mixer, with the preamps cranked up and the internal spring reverb on. Everything has some Alesis MIDIVERB II."

12/17/25 Zerosum Inertia ZI54 + Trogotronic 676 + RYK 185 (System 100m) + Alesis MIDIVERB II
video upload by Cfpp0
"A little montage of three horrendous fanfares while testing power supplies. The Monorocket Mission6 case has been emptied and the Zerosum Inertia ZI54 and Metasonix RKP have been moved to the racks, where the Moog Subharmonicon used to be installed. We almost sold the amazing Trogotronic 676 and two 11 VCA controllers, but they’re staying. Those, plus a Zerosum Inertia 6AS6 Signal Combiner, have been added to the same rack, as they all sound great with the Roland System 100m. There is also a Doepfer Quantizer, mainly for the Roland 182 sequencer we got recently. The reverb is from the MIDIVERB II."

'Hello, buy my vocoder—now, now, now! Please.'
Those are the lyrics. We are listing the SVC-350 Vocoder and the SPV-355 pitch to voltage synthesizer in this video on reverb.com at Christopher’s Boutique 489."
via this Reverb listing
"This listing is for two rare rack units by Roland that will let you turn your voice into robots, aliens, or just plain old voltages: the SVC-350 Vocoder and the SPV-355 Pitch to Voltage Synthesizer. The video in the photos section of this listing is of the actual unit.
The SPV-355 allows you to take audio and convert it into pitch voltages, envelopes, and gates to use on other equipment. It’s also a nice two-VCO synthesizer itself, with filter and envelope controls.
The SVC-350 is a coveted Vocoder, allowing you to connect synthesizers, drum machines, guitars and, of course, a microphone, and get either a fully wet vocoded version or a blend of the dry and wet.
Both work well, but both are old. This means you need to use them regularly or they can develop a little bit of scratch when turning the knobs.
You are the robots."

ALM Pamela’s New Workout clocks the MFB SEQ-1, which is triggering the Metasonix D-2000. The D-2000 mix output runs through the Roland SPH-323 phase shifter into the Peavey 1300 delay, in a double mode with heavy feedback. That signal runs to the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer, where a reversed reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II is applied."

Overdubs. Two takes of a drum from the D-2000 through the R-51 VCA are overlaid, and they were processed by a small room reverb on the Alesis MIDIVERB II with the preamp overloaded. A four note sequence on the Ladik S-143 is driven by a sparse pattern on the Blue Lantern Gate Sequencer, and controls the pitch of the S-2000, which is delayed by the Peavey 1300 with a reversed reverb on the MIDIVERB II. The S-707 cowbell is delayed by the Peavey 1300, with reversed reverb. The 16th note hats are from the DSP 808 module, triggered by ALM Pamela’s New Workout. The other percussion is from the S-LD."

video upload by Cfpp0
"The left RYK Modular 185 sequencer is gating the right RYK 185. The right RYK 185 CV output controls the pitch of the left Roland 110 VCO and modulates the right 110 VCA. The 140 lower envelope controls the left 110 VCA. The upper 140 envelope controls the right 110 VCA. The left RYK 185 gate output is modulating the 140 LFO, and that LFO is modulating the left 110 filter and the right 110 VCO slightly. The 150 LFO is modulating the right 110 filter and the left 110 VCA. The left 110 audio output goes to the Roland RE-301 for tape echo, with the intensity set at the threshold of feeding back, and that signal is panned left on the Mackie Onyx 1640, with spring reverb from the Paia 6740, stereo reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II (preset 27), and a larger stereo reverb blended on the CXM 1978. The right 110 audio output goes to the Peavey 1300 delay and is panned center on the Mackie, with the same three reverbs."

The ARP 1613 sequencer output A controls the Metasonix R-52 sweep CV in, which creates the high resonant rasp on the reversed quarter notes. The R-52 runs into the R-53, which adds the pitch to the R-52 rasp, then through the R-51, controlled by the MFB dual ADSR, gated by the ARP 1613 gate bus 3. This signal goes through the R-56 for more distortion and spring reverb—panned center on the Mackie Onyx 1640, with stereo room reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II. Meanwhile, the more mechanical-sounding squawk/chirp/scream loop is the ARP 1613 quantized output B controlling the pitch of the R-54, which runs through the Zerosum Inertia Voltage Controlled Annihilation, which runs through the Zerosum ZI61, high is controlled by the MFB dual ADSR, gated by the ARP 1613 gate bus 3. The ZI61 is panned left on the Mackie, but it also feeds the OAM Time Machine delay, which is panned center on the Mackie.

video upload by Cfpp0
"An Akai ME20A chord translation, dragging in and out of sync. A shorter version was already posted as a YouTube Short. That version started with the softer attack, while this longer version starts with a harder attack and shorter envelope on the Jupiter 6 and shorter gate length on the ME20A. The Roland Jupiter 6 was traded and the Akai ME20A was sold."
