Analog FM patch demo

via poictesme on the MATRIXSYNTH FORUM.

"I surprised myself with an analog FM experiment that I was trying out the other day so I made a video [mp3?] of it. It's a 4 operator FM patch where my self oscillating filters are summed and used to modulate a VCO (A-110) which is then used to modulate the final carrier (A-111) using the non linear CV2 input. I'm then filtering that output through the VC phase shifter (A-125) before compressing and adding a little reverb. All 4 operators and the phase shifter are tracking the keyboard CV, the result being a nice formant type sound. The patch tracks well over 2.5 octaves before becoming rather squelchy and chaotic. I've used it in this video in the lower part of the usable range as a bass line."

Gonzo Makes Lolcats

Remember Gonzo? It looks like he's up on I Can Has Cheeseburger?, I beleive the official lolcat site. What's a lolcat? Some bizarre craze going on where people put silly words, usually in the font you see, on images of cats and sometimes other animals. Some are actually pretty funny. You can create your own at the I Can Has Cheeseburger? site. Nice name for a site, btw. As for synths... Sherman Filterbank, MOOG The Rogue, and KORG MS20. via Michael.

ZO1U - Zeroscillator

via Cynthia

"A single height 19" rack mount Zeroscillator called the ZO1U, (who woulda' ever thunk it?) Pronounced "Zee-Oh, One You".

(BTW, this is now the ~sixth~ format of Zeroscillator, with a seventh Buchla flavored version on the way too!)"

JH. String Filter

"A string filter has been on my personal wish list for a long time. The above mentioned Electronotes articles give a good description what is possible with multiple resonances, and also describe a feedback method to control depth of the peaks and notches, starting with filters of fixed Q. And there is the legendary (and rare) Moog CE String Filter that is based on a similar principle."
