Random Randomness Randomizer

YouTube via bigcitymusic. bigcitymusic.com
"Thanks to our friend Don for helping out with this patch.

We're using the Analogue Systems rs380 Modulation Controller's random out function. We're sending it an external clock; in turn the rs380 is sending a sample and hold control voltage to our modulation destination. Other modules used include the rs510e Synthi Trapezoid Generator, rs500e Synthi Filter, rs95 Oscillator, and the rs85 extended range LFO. The rs380 also offers an LFO with square and triangle waveforms, a white noise source, and a simple VCA."

FIRST PRODUCTION MATTSON MINI MODULAR DEMO NUMBER THREE

YouTube via redmartian. Part 1 Part 2
"Here is demo number three. In this one I wanted to show the sound of the filter and oscillators.

The filter's LP and HP outs are taken and then stereo spread using two VCAs. I have three oscillators tuned at intervals and I'm using an EG to sweep the filter and VCAs.

A jupiter 6 shows up, but its only used as a MIDI controller.

The drums are the same kit used in the other two demos and are sequenced on an MPC-1000. A note, I'm not using any filtering or processing (other than setting the start/end points) on the samples. They are dry and are directly from the MMM. On this tune I only used the stereo pan effect on the knitting needle sound.

The background and towards the middle you'll hear filter frequency modulation coming in and then fading out. I'm using one oscillator and running it into the filter's modulation input and then recording on the LP output of the filter.

There are two small melodies - one uses two saw tooths and the other uses a single saw with filter modulation by an LFO.

The video footage is just me being silly, sorry. (yootoob requires visuals, which is why demo two is on vimeo only)"

"This is a test of the final release version of our new Optigan disc, Radioaktivox. Please note that the audio distortion is from my camera and not on the Radioaktivox disc itself. For all those who have pre-ordered the disc, it's not quite ready to ship yet, because we've had a slight delay in the making of the disc jackets. We don't have an exact ship date yet, but it will be soon! Please visit http://shoptigan.ecrater.com/product.... to place your order!
