Tim Stinchcombe - Diode Ladder Filters

"The success of the Moog transistor ladder filter quickly gave rise to a number of 'look-alikes', which employed diodes in the ladder in order to circumvent the Moog patent. Two of the better-known examples are the Roland TB-303 filter [pictured], and the EMS filter, as used in the VCS3 (and probably other models) - this is the 4-pole '18dB' one; later filters had 5 poles, and were labelled '24dB'"

Kaossilator step by step

Kaossilator step by step from Toumal Rakesh on Vimeo.
"Fooling around with the Korg Kaossilator. Note that I had to use the hidden 16-bar mode (activated by holding the BPM and Loop buttons on powerup), that's why I had to turn it off and on in the middle. I wasn't sure how things would turn out, hence I used the KP3 to sample several parts to be able to turn them on and off lateron.

All in all, the Kaossilator is a useful and fun device. Here's hoping that a possible successor adds save/load functionality, more sounds and a pattern sequencer ;)"

SYB-5 solo

YouTube via kulten

"The BOSS SYB-5 bass synth trigged by its own feedback, by Kulten the SYB synth addict !

I use the 2 "LFO modes" with "Square" sound (mode 6) and "Saw" sound (mode 3). Works good with the SYB-5 and not with the SYB-3 : the SYB-3 don't have LFO.

I often do that in concert. Actually, I already did a gig only with my SYB-5 (ambiant/indus), and another only with the SYB-3 and my DR-110 drum machine (electro/indus). But most of the time I play with both SYB on stage."

Making loops with single AudioCube

YouTube via Percussa
"Chris from UCSD emails us with a patch in Max/MSP and accompanying video in which he uses a single audiocube to create loops.

the audiocube's 4 sensors control 4 parameters of a VST instrument, which are recorded into a looping sequencer and played over the original recording, allowing the performer to create a loop quickly and shape the sound and musical patterns using has hands and fingers, like a piece of clay.

the parameters are recorded in high resolution and speed for smooth continuous control.
