Cwejman VCO-6 Acid

YouTube via boobtube356
"Cwejman VCO-6 sine synced by PlanB M15 square. VCO-6 output is then ring modded with M15 sine, then sent to PlanB M12 vactrol filter, which receives modulation Cwejman ADSR. Bass kick is Cwejman MMF-1 with modulation from PlanB M10. Other percussion is Doepfer A-117 6-osc output ring modded with Cwejman VCO-2RM osc1 sine square output, then passed through Makenoise QMMG. Sequence is Doepfer A-160/1 and A-152 through PlanB M14 and Bananalogue 3P, and Doepfer A-156 quantizer."

House Fans

"Sync mode Cwejman VCO-2RM to Metasonix R51. OSC1 (sine) goes to audio input, OSC2 (sine) goes to distortion input. Plan B M15 sine goes to other distortion input. Cwejman PH-4 modulates all three, and OSC2 pitch. Cwejman VCO-6 amplitude modulated with self oscillating MMF-1, through VCEQ, then audio panning the R51 output. Percussion is two outputs of the Doepfer A-117 ring modded with A-143-3, sent to Make Noise QMMG, and one audio pans the other. Sequencing is the usual A-160/161, Plan B ASR, M14, etc. This patch was made to accompany the sound of the house fans."

Why I Frac pt1

"Just a quik patch showing off 1(!) Blacet Research VCO, Binary Zone, Klangwerk, EG1, Window Comparator & Micro LFO. Little bit of seq'ing from the doepfer / MFB system, but all the sounds are Blacet!

I love this system so much & only half of it is up & running! With the VCO/MiniWave/Binary Zone combination a basic oscillator can make several 'voices' at once with ease.

Here the Klangwerk Balanced Modulator is working as a VCA, Binary Zone as a Frequency Divider creating octaves lower than the VCO. The high pitched sound is the Voltage Controlled waveform being modulated by a gated Micro LFO, the changes in dynamics are down to the Klangwerk being able to smoothly fade between processed signal & the clean input signal, when deployed as a VCA this creates a pretty unique performance control."

Cynthia Saw Animator Folded

YouTube via wonkythomas
"Very simple patch showing that the Cynthia Saw Animator is very much in that catagory of modules that makes it more than the sum of its parts.

Modules used; CGS / Metalbox Wave Multipler, CGS / Metalbox Psyco LFO, Blacet VCO & an MFB SEQ-02

Starts off with just the VCO, things start to get messy after I increase the "Fat" amount!

The Psyco LFO is patched to the VC Fat CV input on the Saw Animator, the Pulse output of the Cynthia is patched to input 2 of the CGS Wave Multiplier & LFO output #6 of the Cynthia CVs the Folds.

What I love about the Cynthia module is that it keeps the modulations musical, I could do the exact same thing by multing the sequencer CV into a VCLFO, then tuning it 'just so' but the Saw Animator gives you 6(!) LFOs which all follow the incoming VCO signal, the "Fat" amount & the modulation at the VC "Fat" input.

This is just one, very simple, application. A more traditional use would be the same set-up but with a VCF instead of the Wave Multipler but I don't got filters."

The Hidden - Mantas at Bali (Sea)

"...and here's my 1st pure Manta video. Till today the basic video source material is more than 1 year stored in the GB spaces of my harddrives. Till now i used only sometimes a short clip to include it in my music videos as background atmosphere.
All video scenery which you see in this 10 min clip is filmed while a 1 hour dive at the Manta Point near Bali in 2008. I've also Manta records from one more 1 hour dive at the same spot. That i'll use for further video in the next time. Hope to get the time before my upcoming holidays ;)
The music is made with my A-100 Analog Modular System and Novation's X-Station 25."

"Self running A-100 patch build with a very small system. The sound isn't an exactly perfect imitation of nature's sound, but those of you who know the sounds of the sea will enjoy this digital version ;)"

"'Reise ins Nirvana' (Journey to Nirvana) is my latest patch created at my new A-100 (mini) Analog Modular System. Ouuh, i'm happy that i've ordered enough cables ;)
The pro of my mini system is that i can note all settings very easy to rebuild it later. Don't mind to try this with a monster system."
