RARE Synth BOOK Korg M1 Guide Book

via this auction
"Super-necessary, UBER-RARIFIED Synth. BOOK titled "Guide Book M1 KORG Music Workstation"
Pages: a bunch (they aren't numbered)
ISBN: Not Applicable -- This Book was NEVER INTENDED for retail sale!
Cover Price: Not Applicable -- This Book was NEVER INTENDED for retail sale!

This "Guide Book" is full of pages showing every M1 screen, every Parameter, and the range of values each parameter can take.

At the bottom of most pages is an "E" number and a "J" number.
The first page explains the "E" number as the "Owner's manual page reference;"
and the "J" number just has a bunch of Japanese characters after it, which I can't read.
I ASSUME the "E" means English, and the "J" means Japanese, so I ASSUME the "J" number is the "JAPANESE Owner's manual page reference."

Atomo monosynth

via this auction
"Atomo monosynth - meaty oscillator with lfo for assorted mod'ing . 8 step sequencer with 5volt trigger input mod . I had it hooked up to my mpc-60 for some dirty base-line action and patched to my E-mu Drumulator Pad Programmer for live percussive hits . Step led's are hi-brite blues , and the LFO led is hi-brite red . Runs off 110V - so you'll need a step down transformer to run it here . Instructions are included . Bullet proof packaging is a given . I don't mind how payment is made but the synth will not be shipped until payment hits MY bank account . This is one of the first run Atomo synths , hand built in Peru ."

add a light sensor

"using mini-jack cables as stylophone sensors turned out to be a clever move: the cables carry 3 signals, allowing me to run 5V and GND through the cable along with the sensor signal. this opens up for modular plug and play with home built sensors, that get powered by the platform.

"Jacob Remin, at CIID will present on August 27th, his Arduino-compatible sound synth. There are many projects out there aiming musicians that use Arduino’s IDE as a programming platform, but Jacob’s wins them all when it comes to the PCB’s shape. Take a look at the picture here and explore his thesis’ blog for more information and videos where he shows the system at its full power."

Wogglebug Stepped Out, Heart In

Wogglebug Stepped Out, Heart In from Peter Speer on Vimeo.

"I feel like most of the Wogglebug videos I've seen lean toward the module in more extreme settings. But dialing things back on the unit can yield some beautiful results!

In this patch (thanks to Tony Make Noise for explaining it to me!!), I'm sending a Triangle Out from the Plan B ELF LFO to the Heart In on the WB, with the Chaos Amount fully CCW.

The Stepped Out from the WB is sent to the HP Cutoff Frequency In on a self-oscillating Frostwave Resonator. This is sent to a Frostwave Blue Ringer, and from there to a 132-3 VCA.

The Clock Out from the WB is sent to the Gate In on an A-140, the output of which is sent to the CV In on the VCA.

Turning the Chaos Amount clockwise "randomizes" the triangle wave by mixing the LFO with the Wogglebug's stepped output voltages. Subtle changes go a long way!

Running the ELF LFO at audio rates into the Heart In produces standard Sample & Hold sounding results from the Stepped Output.

Even in a small system, I'm finding fun new tricks to do with the Wogglebug every day! Get one already, and if you already have one, get a second one!!
