Mixed Modular Demo

Saw this one over on the HC forum. I asked J3RK if I could post it and he gave me the clear. For more check out this HC thread as well.

"SPLAT

Everything is timed to a single square wave LFO (with lots of splitters coming out of it)

One sine wave output from an uncalibrated Model 15. (calibrating tomorrow) Pitch is modulated by an envelope to make a kick drum. This is routed through one channel of the Quad VCA module.

The other model 15 has a saw wave going to a Miniwave using a fairly crunchy digital waveform, and then into the Boogie Filter. This is routed through the second channel of the Quad VCA.

I have a sine wave coming out of my Filthy Filtre (at self oscillation) going into one of the CV controls of the Dalek Modulator. This is going to the third channel.

The VCS module is slewing the signal of the wheeeppeeeepp sound, and opening and closing the third VCA channel. I've got everything routed to everything else for FM control (VCOs, Filters, etc.)

Basically the thing is playing itself, and I twist a few knobs here and there...

Anyway, the point of the post is just that I find it interesting how much you can do without sequecers or keys, or just when you take things away from yourself and say "create with this..."

Edit: Forgot, the reverb and delay are from my TC M-One-XL. No other effects were used."

I put it up on Twango so I could embed it here. It's also available directly via J3RK and backed up here.

Drumfire

Click here for shots pulled via this auction.

Details:

"The Drumfire DF500 has 5 separate individual synth that have individual trigger inputs and Audio outs.
Each channel includes: Sensitivity (for input sensitivity), Oscillator decay, Noise decay, Sweep, Pitch, Osc/noise Balance, Volume and Pan. Plus each channel has a "click" button to enhance the attack of the signal.
You can either use the 3 touch Pads included with the auction to attache to a normal rum kit or any other surface to instantly turn it into a huge Analog drum machine.
Each synth channel can also be triggered by any audio signal so it can be sequenced or triggered by any multi channel sound card and programs like Abelton Live, ProTools, Cubase, Cakewalk and any other audio program and hardware capable of multi outs
This thing kicks the pants of anything Roland or Tama ever made with way more flexibility.
You can even route one output into another channel input to create huge overloaded subs and crashing snares
The Machine includes 3 touch pad triggers although as mentioned you can use any audio signal including Mics or any other audio trigger. This machine has been used but loved and is in perfect working condition"

Update via corky burger: "just listen to this groovy music that Moogy makes!" [link]

Come on people, vote for her! Moogy needs you!

Update: For anyone that actually cares, correction: it's a Chinchilla, not a bunny. There is a Chinchilla bunny, but this is actually a Chinchilla Chinchilla. ; )

Anyone know roughly how many of these were made? I rarely see them for sale. I was hoping you'd eventually find these for a couple hundred or less. I always wanted to get one for my daughter. Yeah that's it, for my daughter. : ) Something about the built in speakers and the tilted panel always made me want one, but never at the original prices.

Title link takes you to Ctenophonic ~ This Bend where you'll find a good gritty Casio SK-1 track. I'm guessing the butter helps it go down.

"These recordings are taken from a live radio performance on April 7 2006 at WDFH in Ossining, NY, hosted by Treavor Hastings. On the different versions of "Cranes Fly West," I play electric lap steel guitar processed by Kyma. On "One Word" I play the Kyma with MIDI faders. "The Tiger's Dream" is for Haken Audio Continuum and Kyma."
