"the album is basically a showcase of the Sherman Filterbank and the DSI Evolver in a more obvious way than I've heard yet, and I figure that some matrixsynth readers might be interested...

Remember folks, the posts are about the synths. In this case you can hear a bit of the character of each synth used in the mix. The rule as always is you have to be able to focus on the individual synths either visually or via audio.

Devi Ever Clearance Sale

Devi Ever has a ton of gear up for auction here including a euro-rack modular. Note the Truly Beautiful Disaster designs.
Green: "This is one of the very earliest TBD's I ever built... back in late 2003, early 2004. It's been updated to the latest TBD circuitry (louder fuzz), as well with the addition of a light jack and on/off flip switch for that, though there no light attachment, and I will not be making any more."
Biker: ""#171 Given to me by Amada of Ooh La La Manufacturing."

Circuit bent Oceanus Noise Box 2

via this auction
"Oceanus circuit bent noise box 2.
This is one for the sound freaks , bought - sampled to death and now being sold on.Its basically from what i can gather a Drum machine crossed with a Voice modulator , robot vocoder effector which also glitches.The drum machine goes through the effector and there is also an external input for freaking out signals.Theres also a 1/4 out.All working and sounding 'Bent ' :) A pretty unique device and a one off i believe.Heres video i found on you tube of the actual unit.



I personally giove the drum machine without the mods a 8/10 for retardedness.Its about as cheesy as you can get and through a delay or phaser etc sounds really pretty mad and like the salvation army sunday school band on a couple of hundred mushrooms.Add the voice changer mod and effect and glitch and its pretty unexplainable.I had a few to take the circuits and add them onto an sk1 or something but i just dont have time.No reserve and no compensation if this does your head in or freaks out the 'normal ' people in your street.It will up loud !

BugBrand 40106 Quad-Oscillator + 4077 Quad-XNOR

"The 40106 is a great chip to play with - you can make up to 6 simple oscillators from it, but I've chosen to implement simple Syncronization, so only have four Oscs. Each Osc has three rates possible by using a 3way switch. The Sync possibilities use SPDT C/O switches allowing Oscs 2 & 4 to be sync'd to either Osc 1 or Osc 2 (or Sync off).
The 4077 is a quad XNOR gate which gives an effect like ring-modulation (you could also use a 4070 XOR for similar effects)."

BugBrand 4094 8-stage Serial Shift Register

"The 4094 is a very simple 8-stage shift register implementation - just a clock and a data input (same way as for the 4015 -- SPDT C/O switch). You get eight output stages and two complementary serial outputs."
