Blackbird Pi for Pi Day

BTW, Happy Pi Day!!! It's 3.14 today.

via Richard Lainhart via the forum:

"Friends: here's the link to my contribution to Microsound's annual Pi Day audio celebration:

http://projects.interdisciplina.org/microsound/project.php?name=pi_day_2009

The rules were to use the values of Pi, in any way, to create a piece of music exactly 3 minutes 14 seconds long. My piece, "Blackbird Pi" (the first one up), is the sound of 1000 migrating blackbirds recorded on the morning of March 6, 2009, timestretched to 3.14 seconds and spectrally transformed with 3.14159 entered into the plugin value fields wherever possible. I hope you enjoy it.

"Korg EX800 - Finished Project by Breakfast for Dinner. This is my Korg EX-800 (a Poly-800 in a rackmount unit). I finished the Moog Slayer and FM-800 Mods (from synthmod.net). I also added a noise control. Additionally I downloaded a new set of user patches to replace the factory ones."

Update via Mason in the comments: "top left is FM-800 knob, bottom left is noise control, top right is cutoff, bottom right is resonance."

A theme for my Muse

YouTube via attorks

"I dedicate this theme to my Muse. I tried to keep the theme modest and subtle like my Muse. At first you hear a sequence from the Synthesizers.com Modular driven by row 1 of the Doepfer MAQ16/3. After that the VCF frequence is raised to hear the sequence from the self built Modular driven by MAQ's row 2. The 3rd sequence comes from the Creamware MiniMax ASB which is driven by MAQ's row 3. The strings are performed by the AKAI AX80 and the solo's are played on the Clavia Nord Lead 1 and the Korg 900PS (Accordion preset with Traveler on 3.5).

I had to shorten the video almost 3 minutes because of the YouTube limit of 10 minutes. The original video is 12:42 long and you can see or download it from my website."

SoundLab Overview

YouTube via YpsiSynth

"A few things and some with the SoundLab.

I am building 5 like this one, a black faced, 3 white faced, and a black yellow (EDP WASP look)
faced.

This is built into a Polycase ABS case. Runs off an AC adapter (included).
Im very impressed with the tracking of these Synths when Tuned correctly.
Mostly all 1% resistors used throughout. Nice smooth 24mm Alpha pots
Give a great feel to the knob action.
