New Molesome track: Parts 1 - 5

YouTube via RothHandle. I was originally only going to post the synth related parts, but then I realized one, these are definitely more interesting as a set, and two some of the rhythm synth bits cross over. Note this were shot at www.roth-handle.nu

Playlist:
New Molesome track: Part 1 Univox drummachine
"Today I continued working on a new Molesome track. Whilst recording I made some short films walking through the process."

New Molesome track: Part 2 Danelectro Guitars
"Today I continued working on a new Molesome track. The working title is "the lonely beatle and the banana peel". Whilst recording I made some short films walking through the process."

New Molesome track:Part 3 The second sections rhythms
"Today I continued working on a new Molesome track. The working title is "the lonely beatle and the banana peel". With this song I wanted to explore doing very sharp contrasts in the arrangement. Whilst recording I made some short films walking through the process."

New Molesome track:Part 4 Mini Moog and utopia synth rhythms
"Today I continued working on a new Molesome track. The working title is "the lonely beatle and the banana peel". With this song I wanted to explore doing very sharp contrasts in the arrangement. Throughout the song I have wanted to blend acoustic and electronic sounds. Whilst recording I made some short films walking through the process."

New Molesome track: Part 5 Danelectro Baritone guitars
"Today I continued working on a new Molesome track. The working title is "the lonely beatle and the banana peel". With this song I wanted to explore doing very sharp contrasts in the arrangement. Throughout the song I have wanted to blend acoustic and electronic sounds. Whilst recording I made some short films walking through the process.

This snippet was shot at Roth Händle studios where I work and record albums. If you are curious about the studio please stroll by www.roth-handle.nu for more info."

Akai VX600 El-Foil Replacement

via ISM:

"The display can get a bit unreadable after years of use but fortunately Wolfgang at midi-rakete.de has a great solution for that: a fresh EL-Foil. It's very easy to replace. I couldn't find any pictures so i shot a few for other VX600 owners."

You can find more images and info on here on ISM.

Synth Project

flicr set by marinedalek

"My AS Design & Technology project - a simple synthesiser built from analogue chips and digitally controlled (vaguely!)"

some info from this electro-music.com thread:
"It's a triangle-core synth based on a simple op-amp integrator design. Not having time for lots of prototyping I took the rather odd route of making it resistance-controlled rather than voltage-controlled. Each keypress on the copper touch-sensitive keyboard triggers a reed relay that switches in the tuning pot corresponding to that note. There's also a variable rate and length "sequencer" which plays each note of the keyboard in turn - by entering non-standard tunings various riffs can be programmed in.

As far as sound shaping goes, there's a PWM section with its own LFO driven by the triangle core, as well as pure triangle and square waves, with divided -1oct and -2oct square waves also included. Filtering is very basic, just two 6db/oct buffered passive lowpass/highpass combinations, which can be chained in series for stronger filtering.

Initially there were going to be two additional oscillators with non-keyboard-controlled tuning for fun swoopy sound effects, which is why I included 2 filter sections (one for osc1, the second for the other 2 oscillators). The first of these was to be a saw/pulse oscillator, and the second a sine/square oscillator - however time constraints meant these were never built

During construction a fault developed which means the output is extremely distorted (~infinite gain) with a lovely DC offset just to make it even more unpalatable. I'm hoping to fix this some time when I get some equipment set up."

"oubliettes of grief kept this one stillborn. the harvestman took it on and in the end everyone is better off for it.

i proudly sport the 'harvoks' in my modular, as opposed to my prototype.
