Synth Dreams - Serge Beer Can Modules

Had an odd one last night. I was out on boat and grabbed a can of serge from the cooler. Literally. It was a can of beer that you split open in half. The can perfectly split in half and on the inside of each was a serge modular with banana jacks. It was similar to an m-odule, just in a beer can, one in each half. You got two mini m-odules per can. Not sure how you'd patch it but in dreams, it all just makes sense.

Happy Easter everyone. More Synth Dreams via the label below. If you have any, feel free to share.

"Totally refurbished and restored.
Wooden sidepanels and type plate.
This project is still in progress, now I'm trying to integrate a hard disk in the synthesizer for expanded internal memory."

JH Living VCOs - single VCO PWM sound

via JH.

"First of all, a big thank-you to all those who have pre-ordered PCBs for my "Living VCOs" project!

The huge request for this has taken me by surprise. I never had so many pre-orders coming within the first couple of days for *any* of my other PCBs, and if it goes on like this it may be the first project that could be sold out before I even get the boards from the factory. :) - Ok, but I don't really expect that. [see this post for ordering info]

Anyway: Even though the strength of these VCOs lies in the animated bass range of three of them playing together, there is another feature I've built into them, and that's the CS-80-style PWM. Like the Yamaha CS-80, the Living VCOs have a limited pulse width. Even with strong pulse width modulation, you never "lose" the VCO signal, because you never get down to 0% or up to 100% pulse width. What may sound like a limitation at first, actually opens the possiblitity of "overmodulation": You can modulate the pulse width with a triangle LFO of rather slow rate, and with a depth that would normally be bigger that 100% modulation index. As a result, the modulation is clipped, becomes trapezoid-shaped. Musically, this is like a periodic "push" of the modulated oscillator's pitch - something that sounds less detuned than
ordinary PWM and allows a sonically very rich modulation. I've made a short demo to demonstate this:

(One VCO thru wide open filter + VCA + reverb)

Coming soon to an iTunes App Store near you (yeah, well...), megaSynth is one analog-modeling, user-friendly, respect-paying, feature-bloated, forever-grateful, tax-paying, wedding-anniversary-reminding, gum-flossing iPhone synth that's sure to not disappoint. Try our Crelm toothpaste next. Yum yum.

megaSynth is not yet listed in iTunes at the time of this post however you can find miniSynth here:

Etherwave Plus Theremin Controls Minimoog Voyager Part 1.

YouTube via Rhythmicons
"This is a demonstration of the Etherwave Plus controlling the MiniMoog Voyager Analog Synthesizer. In the second part I demonstrate a spur of the moment Theremin Excercise in which the Gate CV activates a Sample and Hold, sent to the Freqbox for random note matching/harmonization.
Just in case any of you out there were wondering what it would sound like for a Voyager to be a slave to the Theremin, here it is a new Etherwave Plus demonstration. Not very melodic, this demo is just to give you an idea of the way the Theremin and the Voyager respond and react to this new area of control.

I had a Standard Theremin upgraded at the factory.

Thanks for watching!
