MIDIBOX SID Datassette BassLine 8bit Synth - the LFO 1

YouTube via BSTGVN
"MIDIBOX SID Datassette BassLine 8bit Synth.
This is a prototype equipped with 2 MOS 8580 SID and 1 MidiBox CORE.

Case it's not closed as you can see, buttons are not screwed, connection's cables are temporary.

Melody it's incomplete because the channel R make some other notes that complete the sequence. I've mute it to hear the LFO effect on the channel L.

-- LFO test on channel L --
LFO:
- Positive Sine Wave.
- Depth Pulse Width 80.
- Depth Filter 100.
- Sync Off.
- One Shot On.

ENV:
- EnvMod 5.
This parameter it's very low so you can hear only accented note. The LFO curve increasing the Cutoff will 'show' the non accented note.

FIL:
- Cutoff 0.
- Resonance 240.

In this video you can see also:
- Select Button 5 as Play/Seq.
- Select Button 4 as my Menu Page.
- Rotary Encoder 1 as Cutoff.
- Rotary encoder 2 as Resonance.

Switching off and on the One Shot you can start the LFO curve just one time.

Switching on the Sync flag you can afflict the glided note with the LFO curve. Than switching off the Sync flag you can start just one LFO curve if One flag it's On.

This is an 'illegal' way to use this functions LFO Sync & One shot flags.

Sorry for the poor sound but this come out from the lcd monitors and is recored by a digital photocamera.

This work born from the genius of Thorsten Klose.

Four sound effects that made TV history

You can find the full article from the BBC with video here. Remember to watch the video in full screen mode when you get there by clicking on the box in the bottom right of the player.

"The BBC's Radiophonic Workshop, a pioneering force in sound effects, would have been 50 this month. Ten years after it was disbanded, what remains of its former glory?

Deep in the bowels of BBC Maida Vale studios, behind a door marked B11, is all that's left of an institution in British television history.

A green lampshade, an immersion tank and half a guitar lie forlornly on a shelf, above a couple of old synthesisers in a room full of electrical bric-a-brac.

These are the sad remnants of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, set up 50 years ago to create innovative sound effects and incidental music for radio and television."

"A documentary film about Andreas Schneider's infamous 'Schneider's Buero' [Schneidersbuero], the boutique electronic musical instrument shop in Berlin.

'Totally Wired' explores one man's electric evangelism, and the interface he has built to connect analogue instrument inventors with their end-users.

The film features an informed selection of inventors and artists alike, including Dieter Doepfer, Junior Boys, Ken MacBeth, Anthony Rother, Jessica Rylan, Daniel Miller, Wowa Cwejmann, Per Salzwedel, Ricardo Villalobos, Magda, Marc Houle and many more."
