Serge controlled by Bleep Labs Thingamakit and Delfy Creations SS-1

Serge controlled by Bleep Labs Thingamakit

YouTube via JargMarbin
"Demonstration of Serge analog modular synthesizer controlled by 4-ledicle Bleep Labs Thingamakit. The video looks terrible because the light was so low. At least all the blinking lights show up."
"The audio from the Thingamakit's audio out jack ( mine is 1/8" ) was piped into into the Serge's Preamp Detector section, which supplies two outputs - one jack provides amplified audio and the other a DC voltage correlated to the power of the sound wave. The audio part was split to a comparator and an EQ followed by 3 filters that fedback into each other in a complicated way. I tappled one audio signal from the EQ and 4 from the filter network. The DC voltage from the envelope detector of the Preamp Detector section went through the same comparator as the audio signal, and this comparison provided triggers powering pulse division and activating sample-and-holds and envelopes which modulated the filters and VCA's. This patch was origionally made to control the Serge using my Delfy Creations Super SS-1 but the battery died, so I made the vid using my regular SS-1 instead. I was going to build a seperate patch for the Thingamakit but I liked what I heard when I tried the same one so I posted the video! I'll still probably made a new patch for the Thingamakit because it is visually impressive and the pulsating rhythmics it creates are very useful for controlling the Serge. I'll let you know when I do. I hope that explanation was what you were looking for, let me know if you have any questions. Also please add me to your mailing list so I can be notified of any new creations you have for sale, and check out my website http://jargmarbin.com."

prima harmony trainer

via this auction
"This is the prima harmony trainer. It is a keyboard with 4 sounds, octave and tuning shifters, separate volume controls for each key, and is battery powered. It apparently is used to tune instruments and has an input, but I just used it to make great sounds. it has a nice sounding metronome, and definitely will make other musicians ask "what is that?" I bought it to circuit bend, but ended up making my own projects and didn't want to ruin it. I've never seen one before or since this one. I made a demo video for it.... [previously posted] which might help to explain its unique features. Best thing on it is the "hold" button, which can hold any number of keys indefinitely. Has a foldaway handle, in fantastic shape... missing battery cover. I have a power supply and its original case. Circuit bent or not, it is a unique instrument."

SQ8L - Free Virtual Ensoniq SQ80

"There IS such a thing as a Free Lunch!

Rarely has the 'you get what you pay for' concept been more wrong than in the case of the absolutely free SQ8L VST instrument from Synthmiester Siegfried Kullmann. If you would have told me 20 years ago that someday an IBM-compatible PC would be able to run a spot-on software-based clone of the SQ80, I would have said 'yeah right, and Weird Al Yankovic will have a number one album and Battlestar Galactica will be an acclaimed series.'"

You can find it here and a couple of vids that mentioned the SQ8L here and here.
