Tie Fighter Drums - Analogue Systems rs120 Comb Filter


YouTube via bigcitymusic
"This has to be one of the most affordable, incredibly fun modules ever made. You can get phaser, flanger, slapback, echo, and other crazy sounds out of the rs120. The module is based on an analog BBD delay. There is CV input for the delay time and if you turn up the resonance it will most definitely grow a self-oscillating feedback monster. Or, it could play nice. Here you hear the Jomox 888 drum machine running into the rs120 and later on in the video we use an rs85 LFO ramp-down wave to modulate the delay time. You can attenuate the amount of CV in directly on the module."

Pseudostochastik Generator & Moogfilter (Eigenbau)


YouTube via Redled72
"Ein weiteres Modul für den analogen modularen Synthesizer, Marke Eigenbau =). Der Testaufbau besteht aus 1x VCO! (Dreieck + Rechteck), dem Pseudostochastikgenerator (12Bit-DAU, 4x Schieberegister, Taktgenerator) und einem Moog-Filtermodul nach dem VCO. Die Ausgangsspannung des Pseudostochastik-Generators dient gleich der Filtersteuerung =)."
in Googlish:
"Another module for the analog modular synthesizer, trademark self =). The test consists of building VCO 1x! (Triangle + rectangle), the Pseudostochastikgenerator (12Bit-DAC, 4x shift, clock generator) and a Moog filter module to the VCO. The output voltage of the generator serves Pseudostochastik equal to the filter control =)."

Some Yamaha GX-1 for Rhys Marsh


YouTube via RothHandle
"Today was day number three of working on the new Rhys Marsh track You will never fall. Rhys Marsh is a really great artist. Born in England but now he lives in Trondheim. You can of course find more about him on MySpace.

This little snippet was filmed at Roth Händle studios in Stockholm. This where I keep all my equipment and where I produce and record albums. If you are curious about the studio please stroll by www.roth-handle.nu"

"vintage Dubreq Pianomate. Made in the 1970s in England, it's an odd add-on sound expander for a piano or several other types of keyboard instruments. The system consists of a small amplifier with built-in tone generators, a swell / volume pedal, and two "plunger bars" that attach to the keyboard of a piano or similar instrument. When the piano key is struck, the plunger touching that key drops down and the tone generator is triggered. It's nutty but kind of neat - Dubreq also made the Stylophone, so they knew all about wacky musical instruments.

This setup is complete, down to the original manuals and sheet music, and everything works. It sounds a lot like a Farfisa organ, and the amp gets pretty loud but you probably can't gig with it. This is more of a curiosity than a real professional instrument, but it is very cool if you're into kitschy and funky keyboard gear."

Be sure to read the details on this one if you are considering picking it up. The follow are just the mods:
" * CV and Gate inputs.
* CV input to turn on Slide. (V2.1D onwards: > 2.3 volts turns on the Slide circuit and > 4 volts turns on Gate to tie notes together.)
* CV input for Accent.
* CV input for Filter Frequency.
* Output for Accent.
* Audio In to filter.
* Audio In to frequency modulate the filter.
* Audio Out from filter (pre-VCA).
* Overdrive pot to control the level of oscillator going to the filter: zero to 66.6 times normal level.
* Separate control of Main Envelope Generator times in accented and non-accented notes.
* Volume envelope is no longer fixed, and can be varied from 16 msec through 3 seconds - and to no decay at all, i.e. for notes which last indefinitely.
* Soft Attack control gives attack times between 0.3 and 30 msec. (TB-303 attack was ~3 msec.)
* Slide time is variable to five times longer than normal.
* Variable Filter Tracking causes the oscillator CV to control the filter frequency.
* Internal Filter FM: a unique approach of AC coupled Filter FM from the audio output of the VCA.
* The Muffler is a unique post-VCA soft-clip distortion circuit which retains bass response.
* Push-button to manually activate Accent.
* Filter can be switched to self resonance.
* Accent Sweep has three modes and can be disabled.
* Filter Cut Off pot range doubled to 5 kHz max, and widened to include much lower frequencies.
* Env Mod pot range extended to include zero and go as high as three times the normal maximum.
* Bass response is improved.
* Lithium battery for at least ten years battery backup, so there is no need to install C-cell batteries.
* The six TB-303 knobs Tuning to Accent are mounted about 1.5mm higher than normal, which makes them easier to turn."
