"Photos at: trashaudio.blogspot.com. Audio is the box running through my modular system. The things are too friendly by default so I decided to evil it up and make it uniform to the music I make. Thanks go to Justin, Byonic and Dr. Bleep!"

"A video made for a presentation of a synthesizer made for an ergonomics class. The synth made music according to skin contact between wearers of wrist-bands.
Music composed one day, video made the next."

Noise Swells and other fun behavior TSP Teaspoon gets choked

YouTube via thetonewrecker
"Cutting the current all the way out and bringing it back up while the button is held down makes all sorts of glorious noise swells and squeaks and other tones.
Note that I have a toggle switch which simply duplicates the button being pressed. Came in handy so I could hold the camera to show this feature.
More info on both wild machines.

FM synthesis waveforms, abstract art?

YouTube via dkimcg
"I was looking at the waveforms after the last video, and started to try to just make cool looking waveforms not really thinking too much of what it sounds like. I can get a pair of eyes with the square morph output, not shown in here, but really like the way these waveforms look as a visual artist. Pretty interesting looking stuff that math can give you.

The oscillators are trying to sync to each other, which causes that jumpiness when the wave cycles back to 0, at least that's what I think's happening. There's a 3rd oscillator acting as an LFO modulating the 1st oscillator as well. both the oscillators are outputting raw waveforms, but the gate even though is wide open may be coloring it ever so slightly, my deaf ears don't hear anything tho. So these are raw, unfiltered, ungated waveforms you are hearing, not for the faint of heart. It can get loud and abrasive. :)"

Yamaha MR-10 Analog Drum Machine

YouTube via peglegjoe857
"MR-10 in action. It is a cool little machine. It is kinda similar sounding to the Roland TR-606 and the Korg KPR-77, but it is not programmable so it has gone pretty unnoticed. It is also somewhat like the early rhythm machines, the CR-68 and 78, TR-66, The Minipops, KR-55, except that it has pads for manually playing it! This makes me think it would make a prime candidate for a mod, adding triggers at it's pads. Probably an easy mod, but I never got around to doing it. I actually think it sounds a bit better than the KPR-77. I have the boss DR-110 as well, which is in the same class as these machines, just missing the toms. Anywho, the MR-10 is nifty sounding and analog. A few neat controls. Small, simple, and pretty cool."

Note the dash in CS-5. I think Yamaha is probably the most inconsistent when it comes to the use of dashes in their model names.
