Plan B Model 15 Complex VCO

via the Plan B list:
"Effective today we are beginning shipments of the newly re-designed Model 15 Complex VCO which incorporates two major changes: The elimination of Cliff Jacks and 12 point to point interconnect wires.

The circuit, the module functionality and the price remains unchanged. These improvements were put in play to increase our production throughput, decrease the potential for field failures with the elimination of the 12 hand-soldered wires and addresses the continual Cliff jack availability issue which has shut our production line down in the past, most notably last summer at the worst possible time imaginable: two weeks before the ELFs were to be released when Cliff announced they were halting worldwide production for three months.

Freed from those constraints I am confident the M15 availability will flourish."

"I got bored one day and record myself playing around with the presets on my MS-2000b. Everything you hear but the drums is the MS-2000b. I did add some minor effects here and there on some parts.

Circuit Bent NES - Version 2.0 - Pixel Form (audio visualizer mod)

YouTube via pixelform
"This is a demostration video of the second version of my audio reactivity modification/bend for the original NES.

Sound is input through a 1/4 inch jack, goes through a bit of custom circuitry (soon to be documented in detail) and mangles the video output in response to the input sound.

Korg Radias emulates the phased strings of the Eminent 310U - Equinoxe part 2

YouTube via Yorkshirelad69

"Equinoxe part II. Original music composed by Jean Michel Jarre.

This video is here only to show the Korg Radias doing quite a passable emulation of the phased strings created by passing the sound of the Eminent 310U through an Electro Harmonix Small Stone phaser.

This is swirling string sound that helped define Jean Michel Jarre's first two albums, Oxygene and Equinoxe.

No external effects were used, only those on the Radias.

I don't play it note for note, it's only to give you an idea of how good the emulation is so please don't comment on my lack of talent, I haven't been playing for long :)"

Volta has a blog

http://motu-volta.blogspot.com/

"New Features & Changes 01.23.08
We've added Hz/V scaling support, so you can control the pitch of older Yamaha and Korg keyboards that use this standard. This option is per module, not global for the entire instance of Volta, so you can seamlessly control a combination of Hz/v and V/oct gear as a single instrument.

A simple OpenSound Control (OSC) input module has been added to the to do list so you can funnel OSC data from any source into your modular.

We're busy testing interface compatibility, including the RME Fireface. The specs for this interface listed DC-coupled outputs, but in our testing, this interface does not work with Volta. Volta's calibration user interface is getting refined to display total available pitch tracking range. The hotter the interface output, the larger the pitch tracking range. In addition to providing useful feedback, this will also allow us to publish the pitch tracking range of approved Volta interfaces before Volta ships."
