"This is a synth guitar I built from a second hand First Act mini electric guitar that I stripped down, and rebuilt using Ray Wilson's WSG synth schematics. With only one Wacky/Weird/Zany voice, and without the oddness filter (it can plug into guitar pedals for effects and filters.)
Two ribbon controllers on the neck control the wacky and weird oscillator frequencies. Controls where the pickup used to be effect the Zany oscillator, and switches near the neck control the wacky send and range.
Its black with a metal flake flame paint job was my first flame project with the airbrush."

"Air, although ethereal, can move matter. Air, which appears most unsubstantial and immaterial, moves matter, moves leaves, and moves flowers.

MachineARIA is an installation that invites the viewer to contemplate a hybrid ecosystem - natural and artificial - of electromechanically modified plants. These augmented plants contain the source of the wind that makes them sway and caresses them.

A custom circuit with a PIC microcontroller is connected to five motors with their propellers and LED's, each one grafted to the culm of a bamboo plant. The motors and LED's are turned on and off sequentially: the resulting motion simulates a delicate breeze wind blow ."

Glitch Labs

Remember the "Sample Smasher" pictured below? It looks like this will be one of the first products from Glitch Labs, a new Circuit Bending design company from GoodVillian. The core website is coming soon, however the forum appears to be up listing a few items including the "Sample Smasher Model 100" pictured below, the "Sample Smasher Model 500," and the "Glitch Modular System." There are details on the Model 500 but not the Modular System.

RandomQ960

YouTube via davidryle
"Randomizing the timing to the Synthesizers.com Q960 step sequencer by using a Noise Generator into a Sample & Hold then the output voltage to an Instrument Interface module. Tweak it just right and you get a random gate pulse for the shift input on the Q960 sequencer.
This track also uses the Pan module to give a stereo ping pong effect from two separate oscillator, filter, envelope and amplifier voices. Two hard synchronized LFO's sculpted the filter even more for a tighter pulse sound. A Ring modulator and tuning the oscillator voices in octaves gave a variety to the voices. The Trigger bus module gave accent selection on one filter voice. All modules are Arrick Robotics synthesizers.com. The reverb is a Lexicon MX200."

Musikmesse: MFB DRUM-07 HH/CY

MFB DRUM-07 HH/CY
* analogue hihat and cymbal
* separate adjustable decay for open- and closed-hihat
* cymbal with tone control, decay and external input
* dynamic trigger-inputs
* MSRP: 129,- Euro

The DRUM-07 module is based upon the cymbal- and hihat-sound-circuit of our MFB-522 drum-computer, slightly modified and expanded. In comparison to the DRUM-03 module that also generates cymbal and hihat sounds, DRUM-07 does not use white noise as sound source but a metallic oscillator mixture.
DRUM-07 was developed as a modular component. Therefore, the parameters decay for cymbal and open-hihat and tone can also be controlled by CV-sources like envelopes, LFOs, step-sequencers. Manual adjustment is available for the parameter tune that affects both cymbal and hihat as well as for the closed-hihat’s decay.
Triggering open-hihat, closed-hihat and cymbal of the module is possible through various signal types. Besides sequencer generated analogue and digital trigger-signals, drum-pads, piezo- and dynamic microphones may also be used. Here, the sens-controls allow individual adjustment of the input sensitivity. Dynamic triggering will not only affect the sound’s volume but also attack and sound length slightly.The functions in detail:

Hihat: The hihat sound is created by several square-oscillators that are fed into a band-pass-filter. Two decay controls allow individual sound-length-adjustments for closed- and open-hihat. In addition, the decay parameter for the open-hihat can be controlled by CV-voltage.
Tune sets the frequency for all square-oscillators simultaneously. Because the cymbal sound accesses the same oscillators, tune also affects this sound.

Cymbal: The cymbal sound is based upon the same sound source as the Hihat, only that it uses two band-pass-filters that individually shape the attack- and decay-phase. However, the decay parameter controls the length of both attack and sound length. This parameter can also be controlled by an external CV-source. Tone sets the balance between the differently filtered signals paths. This parameter is also under CV-control but does not offer an internal attenuator.
A specialty of the cymbal sound is its tone-input. Here, you can connect an external sound source that replaces the DRUM-07’s internal square-oscillators for the decay phase. The internal oscillators are still in use for the sound’s attack-phase.

The module has a width of 60 mm (12 TE). It is equipped with a connector cable compatible to Doepfer’s system-bus.

MFB-products are sold through certified dealers. In case there is no such dealer in your area, you may order the module directly for a price of 129 Euro plus 10 Euro shipping/COD costs."
