VICMOD Synth Night

"For a short period of time last night you could have been excused not knowing what century we were living in, what with Public Image Limited blasting out the bar speakers downstairs and upstairs, before the performance, The Human League’s Reproduction album was happily playing away followed by tracks by Morton Subotnick and Alvin Lucier. Plus the fact I could see 2 Korg MS20s a Roland MC202, EMS VCS3 and a Roland System 100M."

TR-808 Cowbell Clone w/ Mods

This was a design exercise. I'm experimenting with digitally-controlled analog circuitry + simple digital pattern generators.

There is a minimal digital sequencer onboard, controlling eight analog switches that activate "bends" to alter the pitch, filter, accent, and envelope.

The 808 cowbell is a cheezy sound, but its design is interesting to study because Roland engineers were masters of minimal analog synth design. They rolled this one up tight! ... with just 2 simple chips (MC14584 & TL072) and 4 transistors, the 808 cowbell contains two square wave oscillators, two VCAs, a triggered envelope generator, bandpass filter, and buffer amp. Nice one Roland... too bad it doesnt sound like a cowbell.
