"Originally commissioned by Walk the Plank for the inaugural and very first Manchester Art Car Parade, the 'People's Prize' winner >> tonefloat << continues to entertain and delight with its sub-lime fusion of form and function, revelling in the grand tradition of the English Eccentrics. Milkbottles have a pretty harsh tone when empty, but when filled with 'milk' to different levels a semblance of tonal scale emerges, and the fun begins..."

So why not take a first snapshot of the Moog style LPF sound, while it's still on the breadboard? The light delay impression comes from the two audio tracks not being perfectly synchronized - iMovie didn't give better results here. Schematics for the VCO are on my website, those for the VCF follow after build and test.
"Continuum performance by Randy Kerber, music by John Williams Randy Kerber writes: As far as the synths used with the Continuum, I used a Reaktor 5 ensemble called Steampipe 2, and I also used a simple modular CV synth made by Analogue System. Using the continuum in mono mode alone, the instrument is so wonderfully expressive that I was very happy to have it in my arsenal. In respect to timbres used with the continuum: A string cluster(polyphony made possible by a Pitch Shifter plug-in from Logic 8)which started from very, very soft and crescendoed to fortissimo. A low pad with modulated filter cutoff(Y-axis). A filtered sawtooth wave in heavy reverb and multiple delays doubling woodwinds at times and french horns in one instance.
I'm very excited about working more with Reaktor. I am quite encouraged by the myriad of possibilities, both from the program and certainly from the continuum.
I look forward to more music with your fabulous controller." You can find the audio here.

1) MG sqr out to TRIG IN (the jack I'm inserting and removing to start/stop playback) 2) WHITE NOISE to VCA IN 3) VCA OUT to ESP IN with low-cut and hi-cut filters all the way up 4) ESP band-pass out to EXT SIG. IN The white noise fed into the ESP and then into the EXT.IN does the hi-hat, while the EG2 with a rapid decay does the bassdrum using the hi-pass filter and the EG1 with the delay time set to 1 does the octave jump on the bass. You can see the other settings in the video.
