"Be minded that this unit does not produce any sounds.
The idea is such:
1. Get some trigger pads or anything that produces an audio click.
2. The unit turns trigger input into a velocity responsive MIDI note!
This is almost too cool to be true.
Get a series of metronomes together and create weird and random sequences.
Plug your old-school drum triggers into it!
Get creative!
Assign any channel to produce any MIDI note!
Create four different programs to the unit's memory.
Stay creative!"
Update via scotty in the comments:
"when used with the casio rz-1 (as a trigger) you can have total control over
the sequences, since the rz-1 has separate outputs for each drum. this means you
only have to plug one thing into the dz-1 to get a ton of cool sequences. not to
mention it looks like it could be the rz-1's baby brother "
You can find more images of the TCS analog sequencer on SYNTHER.ORG. via Exsurdo of http://hardsync.blogspot.com.
A book of images of textures including synths. I saw a few pages of Carbon111's Texture and it's actually a very interesting concept. When you see images of textures, both nature and man made, you tend to pause, reflect and take the image in. When walking through the book, your reference point becomes that of viewing and appreciating textures. When you come across an image of a synth you can't help but look at it from that perspective. You see the physical textures of the synth much like you see the physical textures in nature. You then make the obvious connection that not only do these devices communicate physical textures, but the texture of sound. You can find more info on the book here on Carbon111's blog.
