Doepfer A100 Analog Modular System Synth Wood DIY Cabinet

YouTube via PlastikOD
"A short clip made with photos and soundsamples of my DOEPFER A-100 Modular System.

I sold the Doepfer a few years ago.

The Cabinet was Do-It-Yourself made to get them a more vintage look (which i prefer more than the design of today's) and very sturdy.
The Keyboard on the photos was a simple and cheap midi-masterkeyboard. The case of the keyboard was also DIY to get a close look of the cabinet and the keyboard.

I think the Doepfer A-100 is a bit overrated.
The Doepfer A-100 is good for noise and atonal stuff but it can't afford the full range and powerfull sound of the "old" modular systems.

The soundsample is an old and cheesy cassette recording so you can hear a lot of noise.

The modules:
A-110 VCO (x3)
A-114 Dual Ringmod.
A-118 Noise/Random
A-119 Ext.Input/Envellope Follower
A-120 VCF 24dB LowPass(Moog Filter)
A-121 VCF 12dB MultiFilter
A-124 VCF Wasp MultiFilter
A-130 VCA Linear
A-131 VCA Exponential
A-138 Mixer Linear
A-138 Mixer Exponential
A-140 ADSR (x2)
A-145 LFO (x2)
A-148 Dual Sample & Hold
A-170 Dual Slew Limiter
A-180 Multiples
A-185 Bus-Access
A-190 MIDI CV/SYNC Interface

"This thing is great. A wide selection of instruments, most of which apply to the main (center) deck. The bottom deck makes simpler sounding tones with a limited set of sounds. The top (smaller keys) deck is for the Orbit Synthesizer, which is truly awesome. Extremely basic controls (attack, decay, volume, deviation) but sounds very neat. You can get great warbling OMD type sounds with it. On the floor there is a traditional volume pedal, and a set of awesome bass pedals. It has a built in drum machine (with speed and beat layering controls), and the bass pedals can set the key for some built in bass lines that play with the beats. Pretty much every bell and whistle that these organs included. Also has a tape deck where you can record to Cassette. You can also change the recording pitch, which is cool. 1/4 inch output below decks."

Anyone know the sequencer?

I thought I recognized it. You can see some previous posts on the SND SAM-16 including video by clicking on the SND label below.

Ruin & Wesen

via Wesen:
"I am very proud to announce the launch of the Ruin & Wesen website at http://ruinwesen.com/. I am Wesen, and Ruin is my partner in Canada. We are building analog and digital music gear, and our first two products are especially directed towards Elektron users. I am specializing on the digital side and software programming, while Ruin is a master of analog noisemakers. Our goal is to make flexible gear for musicians, because we think that with electronic music it all boils down to the workflow rather than pure sound shaping. Careful thought has been put into the user interfaces of our machines. Both Ruin and Wesen are musicians, and value the possibilities that lie in well thought out instruments.

As each musician's approach to electronic music is different, we believe in making our products easily customizable. This means that we will work and rework our firmwares, adding additional features, modifying some, and sometimes completely changing the purpose of our products. We also believe that users should be able to do these modifications themselves, which is why we provide extensive documentation, schematics and sourcecode for our devices.

But enough about that – without further ado, please welcome the MidiCommand and the MonoJoystick.

MidiCommand:
The MidiCommand is a “generic” MIDI controller that has native support for the Elektron MachineDrum. It features 5 endless encoders, a small backlit LCD and an additional button. The initial firmware features 8 patches, each of which is made up of 4 pages of 4 controls each. Pages and patches are easily accessed and each parameter can be configured using the built-in editor. The MidiCommand can also be programmed from a computer.

Each page of the MidiCommand features a Macro knob which allows you to change simultaneously up to 4 parameters at once – all at the twist of a single knob. Each patch also features a Macro page where each encoder can be assigned to modify up to 4 parameters. With native support for the MachineDrum, the MidiCommand can access the effect machines of the MachineDrum directly, allowing you to tweak effects without the need of a CTR-FX machine.

I use the MidiCommand a lot in my sets, here is a small set recorded on video:

MonoJoystick:
The MonoJoystick is a joystick companion for the Elektron MonoMachine. Its interface makes it very easy to integrate and the device sends the same data as the SFX-6 joystick, allowing it to be controlled directly using the ASSIGN menu of the
MonoMachine. The MonoJoystick is more than just a joystick replacement or add-on, however – the MonoJoystick allows you to send joystick data to multiple tracks at once, to revert the current kit to its saved status (think function + classic on the Machinedrum), and to revert a single track to its saved status!

If you’ve been waiting for a CTR-AL machine on the MonoMachine, the MonoJoystick is perfect for you. Press the SELECT button on the MonoJoystick, and each knob twist on the MonoMachine will be sent to each track. You can also broadcast knob twists to only certain selected tracks.


Here is a small video showcasing the MonoJoystick:

Both the MidiCommand and the MonoJoystick can be preordered from our website at http://ruinwesen.com/. Also check the website for additional information, product manuals, example videos and DIY information! Use our RSS feeds to stay up-to-date – there is much more to come in the following weeks!

Cheers,

Manuel aka Wesen"

"Yamaha's Ry-30 is almost unknown. Terrific machine for backing tracks especially in industrial. Producers used to use the RY-30 along with the Roland R-8, a very powerful combination. Here it is running with the 309, and a few DSI Evolver backing tracks off of the computer."

"same 'loop riddim' patch further tweaked. i removed 9 cables that were no longer affecting the sound, and this is just 1 channel of a potential 4 with the 200e. Featured is the Malekko Echo 600 analog delay, of which I am not well versed at using."
